24 Hour Curfew Imposed in Ceylon as Rebels Threaten
Amid rising unrest, a 24 hour curfew was ordered across Ceylon. Insurgents, led by Marxist student groups, reportedly outnumber government forces, with estimates of rebels up to 80,000 and sympathizers as high as 100,000 among 13 million people. Prime Minister Bandaranaike prepared a radio appeal urging parents to discourage youth from joining. Colombo streets were deserted as security forces brace for extended curfew and possible reinforcements. American residents in Colombo were warned to exercise caution.
