Korean Island Riot Deaths Reach 46 Seoul, Korea, April 23 (U.P.)— Communist rioting today on Cheju Island off Korea's southern coast has created a "serious situation," authorities reported. A battalion of Korean constabulary has been rushed to Cheju to reinforce the hard-pressed garrison. Reports from Cheju said communication lines on the island have been cut. Communists reportedly were distributing handbills urging the constabulary and rightists to desert to the Communist cause. A United States Army spokesman said at least 46 persons have been killed since the outbreaks began April 2. A small American Army unit is stationed on Cheju. It reported Communist activity seemed to be increasing. The official radio in Pyongyang, capital of Soviet-occupied north Korea, announced that the Russian-sponsored north Korean government would meet Wednesday to discuss a constitution for all Koera, including the American-occupied south.
