(Page 5) **KOREA** **Military, Political, Economic, Social Situation, Press Review, Civil Intelligence, Miscellaneous** Selected Items for the Information of Commanders and Staffs of the Far East Command No. 2027 POLITICAL REPORT 1. Leftists Infiltrate: (a) Infiltration Increases: For the past several months the Communist Democratic Patriotic Young Men's Association (DPYMA), although in an underground status, has been infiltrating many Rightist youth organizations. The Rightist groups apparently have not adopted effective countermeasures. Chonju reports claim that as a result of Leftist infiltration into the Government-sponsored Korean National Youth Corps, many Rightist members have been converted to the Left. In Taegu, approximately 250 members of the DPYMA have joined the Rightist Young Men's Corps (Kwang Bok) and many have risen to staff positions in this organization. Official observers claim that such infiltration is increasing. Most members of Leftist youth groups also belong to the Communist South Korean Labor Party and do not intend to become Rightists. (a) Comment: It is estimated that the Government-sponsored National Youth Corps has a membership of about 465,000. The Corps' policy has been to accept Leftist as well as Rightist youths, in the belief that the Leftists could be educated away from their political mooring. (b) Success of Infiltration: Information from Communist sources indicates considerable satisfaction with the current policy of infiltrating Rightist youth groups. One of the objectives is to sabotage organizational support of the anticipated South Korean elections. (b) Recent Communist directives have emphasized that the period of initial infiltration without subversive action has ceased. The period for aggressive inside proselytizing has come. (c) A directive sent to each county branch of the Democratic People's Front in North Chungchong Province instructed party members as follows: (1) commencing Jan 43, leaders of cells within Rightist organizations were to try to get converts to Left; (2) information concerning positions held by reactionaries and the strength of the police force was to be forwarded to party headquarters no later than 15 Jan; (3) unreliable members were to be expelled immediately and members who joined after Feb 47 were to be expelled temporarily; (4) two persons were to be sent to each county headquarters to assist in the reorganization program. (d) (c) Youth Group's Part: There have been recent indications that the outlawed Communist Democratic Youth Alliance is expected to play a specific part in Soviet plans for South Korea. Recently the organization's headquarters sent orders to its branches instructing all members to prepare themselves to aid the North Korean People's Army "whenever the battle begins." (e) Comment: This Leftist youth group generally has been regarded as one of the most militant organizations in South Korea. Its lawless tendencies finally culminated in a Government order, in Apr 47, to disband. (d) Rightist Meeting: Action of the UN Commission in deciding to refer the Korean situation back to the Little Assembly (f) coupled with Communist disorders, provided the impetus for a Rightist mass meeting in the Seoul Stadium on 8 Feb. Cried Rightist notices, "The only way to Korean independence is for the nation to accelerate the elections. Let us crush the conspiracy and intervention in the elections by the traitors. Since the Soviet has boycotted the establishment of a central government, South Korea will be the expression of national opinion." (g) Comment: The current Communist disturbances (Intell. Summary 2026) probably will consolidate the Rightists.
