SHANGHAI (AP)—The Woosung garrison Saturday closed three newspapers here for "publishing news detrimental to the military," as some 40,000 students continued their anti-civil war strike for the second straight day.
The garrison, acting with the police, said "this city is under martial law."
(Mayor K. C. Wu Thursday declared martial law as affecting Shanghai students, but it was not known that it applied generally.)
The three papers closed were all liberals—Wen Wei Pao, Hsinming Evening News and the Leinho Evening News. Sentries were posted outside the plants after the staffs were ordered to go home.
