Apparently safely settled in power, the government declared itself ready to crush any attempt by pro- Communist students to upset national calm. The warning came amid reports a pro-Communist student organization was planning demonstrations in protest of the ouster of President Ramon Villeda Morales in a predawn strike Thursday.
