XXIV CORPS G2 WS 80 4. CIVIL RELATIONS a. The Press There we·e several items of interest to the press during the period. these consisted of both local items and world wide news of Korean or possible Korean interest. Locally the results of the investigation of the strike on CHEJU DO by Mr. CHO, police head, terrorism, as manifested by the bomb- ing of LYUH, Woon Hyng's home, the departure of three Korean representatives to the Pan-Asiatic Conference, the shooting of two Russian soldiers on the 18th of March by South Korean police (see par 5), and, at the end of the period, the twenty-four hour rail and utilities strike were all given com- plete coverage in the newspapers. b. The People (1) General Strike Typical of the Communist pattern was the sudden strike following a period of asserted cooperation. The specious declaration of,HU, Hun on 20 February 47 is worthy of note (par 4b (2) (a), W/S # 76) as was his denial on the same date of Left Wing responsibility for the school strikes. (See par 4b (3) W/S # 76). A further manifestation of cooperation was seen in the sudden display of Left Wing interest in the proposed general election as evidenced by the Democratic People's Front at their grand meeting of 29 -30 January 47. (See par 6b, W/S #73). Since sustained co- operation with MG has never been a part of the overall Communist plan, Left Wing expressions in this direction must be viewed with askance. Con- sidering the Left Wing potential for violence and deception, there is a strong possibility that the apparent termination of this and the CHEJU 1 strike (par 4b (:), W/S #79) may be cleverly planned feints; therefore, continued caution is believed necessary. 1.
