Communist camps in Peiping and Nanking reported
Hong Kong dispatches say re education camps modeled after Soviet systems have been set up at Peiping and Nanking. Nanking holds about 500 internees at 55 San Yun lane, with few released and fear among residents. Peiping camp is at Tsing ho ten miles from the capital, where political reeducation and slave labor are reported. A broader crackdown includes restricted foreign news broadcasts and suspected mail censorship, while Canton authorities allegedly use pro communist students to spy on critics and illegal deals. Disappearances and sealed lips among residents are noted.
