Civil Disturbances: (Refer to illustration and Map No. 2) (a) General: Communist-inspired acts of violence in South Korea have deceased sharply since May, when more than 300 deaths occurred. Each succeeding month has seen a reduction in civil disturbances and violent deaths which might be due to effective countermeasures by the police and/or orders by Soviet-controlled party leaders to minimize Communist activity until their forces can be regrouped and reorganized. (a) (b) Friction Among Rightists: Friction between Rightist youth groups culminated in an attack by the United Young Men's Party (UYMP) on a headquarters of the Northwest Young Mon's Association (NWYMA), 15 Aug, when several members of each organization were injured. All members of NWYMA who were involved in the fight and 40 members of UYMP were arrested but were released the next day.
