GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, FAR EAST COMMAND ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE RADIO AND CABLE CENTER TBB pls # INCOMING MESSAGE PRIORITY 28 Nov 48 FROM : CG USAFIK TO : GSUSA (FOR INTELLIGENCE DIV) DECLASSIFIED PER JCS & 29 AUG 75 INFO : AMA CHINA, CINCFE (Q-2) NR : ZOBI 1966 (WEEKA NBR 48, PERIOD 21 NOV TO 28 NOV 48) Part 1. South Korea. Current intelligence: 1. National Assembly on 19 Nov passed National Security Bill to control elements deemed inimical to welfare of Republic of Korea and on 20 Nov passed fol resolution by vote of 88 to 3: "In view of the present situation in Korea it is necessary for the occupying forces of US to remain in South Korea until Republic of Korea is able to defend itself." Proposal was signed by 98 Assemblymen. 13 members walked out on vote stating that resolution was contrary to public opinion. Comment: On 14 Oct 48 some 25 percent of members of Assembly presented petition for immediate withdrawal of US troops (WEEKA 42). Petition was referred to committee and has not been brought out since. Though by burying petition in committee majority of Assembly (or at least its leaders) indicated that they opposed withdrawal, they were apparently unwilling to publicly announce their opposition while popularity of opposition was doubtful. Change in attitude of large nbr of Assemblymen from passive opposition to withdrawal to an active campaign for retention of troops is considered to be attributable to these factors: A. Mutiny aroused in many Assembly men a distrust of the constabulary as defensive force. B. Barbarity of Communists on larger scale than before aroused FEAF and many Assembly men. C. President and ministers have exerted pressure for the retention of troops through public statements and through a rally. Subversive: (over) 2. On 19 Nov a raider group, estimated at from 600 to 900 men, attacked Kirye (1040-1356). Two Loyal Bns were committed against the attacker and 203 mutineers were killed, 27 of whom were identified as constabulary mutineers. In addition 37 mutineers and 450 SKLP members were captured. Loyal Forces captured 108 rifles and carbines 2 mortars and 8 machine guns. (Constabulary Report) In 5 smaller operations against the mutineers in Cholla Namdo 12 constabulary men were killed, 2 civilians were killed and 52 arrested. Trials of prisoners from the Yosu-Sunchon uprising began during the period. Thus far, 309 have been given the death sentence, 124 life imprisonment and most of the remainder from 1 to 20 years. Few were acquitted. Comment: The attack of Kurye is the largest concentrated effort made by any raider group since the uprising in Cholla Namdo was quelled. Results of action indicate that constabulary is capable of controlling situation when contact is actually made with raiders. Constabulary operations against raiders will be slow and difficult as long as raiders are able to remain hidden in rough mountainous area. Reports indicate that mutineers are low on food and ammunition. If true this will probably result in continued raids on small towns and villages but will make it possible for Constabulary units to locate mutineer concentrations and clear the area. 3. On Cheju Do guerrilla activity continued with 18 guerrillas killed and 2 Constabulary men killed. An estimated 113 homes were destroyed by fire. (Police and Constabulary Repo
