Anguilla Crisis Deepens as Anguillans Reject British Aid
About 1,000 Anguillans led by Acting President Ronald Webster protested British plans to aid Anguilla, waving independence banners and singing. London rejects Webster's authority while Anguillans push for a referendum on independence, association with Britain, or return to the federation with St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla. The British promise a rescue operation of development projects as occupation drags on. An American, Jack N. Holcomb, linked to Florida real estate, claims expulsion by British forces amid the turmoil.
