No. A -0021						                         Date. 13-2-97

On the 12th of Feb. 1997 an incident occurred at No. (22/A)
of Kaba Aye Pagoda Road of Bahan Township in Yangon,
concerning with a neighbor forcefully taking down the flag of the
Union of Myanmar which was hoisted to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the Union Day.

The Myanmar family residing at No. (22/A) hoisted the flag
of the Union of Myanmar in the their compound on the morning of
the 12th of Feb. to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Union
Day. In this regard the wife of an Australian Charge d' Affaires, Ms.
Rosalind Eva Ransome who lives in the next compound No. (22)
sent over a local employee to house No. (22/A) demanding the
family living there to take down the flag. Ms. Rosalind Eva
Ransome, after (15) minutes, later again sent over another local
employee to tell the family from house No. (22/A) to take down the
flag.

The family living at No. (22/A) in an attempt to avoid
unnecessary confrontation went to the local administrative
authorities and reported the situation. While the family member of
No. (22/A) were on their way to the office of the local
administrative authorities, Ms. Rosalind Eva Ransome came over to
house No. (22/A) with another local employee and instructed this
employee to take down the flag from the flag pole. Her employee
refused to comply with her instructions on the  grounds that it was
against the law and not proper to do so. Ms. Rosalind Eva
Ransome was told by her local employee twice not to behave in that
manner but she refused to listen and took down the flag from the
pole herself.

The Australian Charge d' Affaires, Mr. Simeon Richard
Giulding came to the office of the local administrative authorities
with his wife later that day and tendered his apology for the incident
it is learnt.
