한국경찰, 제주도 폭동에서 60명 체포

Korean Police Arrest 60 in Chefu Rioting Seoul, Korea, April 24 (U.P.)— Korean constabulary troops armed with American Garand rifles surrounded the riot-torn city of Cheju of Cheju Island early today while Korean police raided the homes of suspected agitators and arrested 60. It was the first government counter-action against alleged leftist-inspired disturbances which resulted in 46 deaths on Cheju since April 2. The constabulary men held the city paralyzed for 5½ hours while police carried out the arrests without violence. Thirty of the 60 arrested were released later. Sporadic sniper fire sounded throughout the hours of darkness, but the area was quiet by daylight. Cheju is the largest city on the island of Cheju, 50 miles south of Korea and in the American occupation zone. The only other violence reported in Southern Korea was the assassination of Kim Yun Ku, candidate for the National Assembly in elections scheduled for May 10. Unknown persons shot him to death in his home, 100 miles south of Seoul. The constabulary-police blow against alleged Leftists on Cheju may mark a stiffening attitude toward the disturbances which Communists and sympathizers hope will disrupt or discredit the elections.
