Civil Unrest b. 14 Pro-Election Rightists Murdered Fourteen right-wing politicians and members of their families were killed during 17-18 April as communists opened an anti-election reign of terror against candidates and supporters of the election. This murderous campaign centered in KYONGSANG PUKTO, where the most attacks wore also made against registeration boxes (see PART I, B,2), and CHEJU DO, where communists have been exhibiting their most strength during the month (see PART I, B, 2a, W/S #134 and PART I, B, 2b W/S #135). Communist directives reveal that attacks against pro-election rightists have been ordered as a part of the last-ditch stand which communists are making against the election. Numerous accounts of rightists receiving death threats in the mail and being beaten have been reported. c. 52 Attacks on Registration Booths Two attacks were made against registration booths on CHEJU DO this week. An unknown number of records were taken from one booth and the second booth was burned. The number of attacks against registration booths throughout South KOREA, since the first attack was reported on 04 April, now total 52. The total number of attacks reported last week, 44, was raised by three delayed reports covering incidents which occurred during the week ending 16 April and three more incidents for the week ending 09 April. (see PART I, B, 2, W/S #135 and PART I, B, 2, W/S #134) Tactics and strength of the attacks varied. Mobs of up to 200 armed and unarmed men stormed some booths. Such attacks usually resulted in the booths being completely razed and registration records destroyed. In other cases, groups of two or three men posed as registrants and then turned on registration officials and destroyed records. Other booths were set afire during the night. In all cases, the communists sought to terrorize registration officials caught in and near the booths. Attacks have been made in the following areas: KYONGSANG PUKTO 21 CHUNGCHONG PUKTO 10 SEOUL 10 CHOLLA NAMDO 8 CHEJU DO 2 CHOLLA PUKTO 1 Also, 12 known attacks had been made against registration official either in their homes or upon streets.
