CHEJU-DO Outbreak On CHEJU island, the communist-inspired anti-election campaign of rioting, attacks on police boxes, murder and sabotage resulted in at least 19 deaths this week. From 03 April thru the close of this period the counted dead were: 12 right-wing civilians, four policemen and three communists. Communist forces made at least 10 attacks on police boxes. One police installation was destroyed by arsonists. Saboteurs destroyed one brid o and caused minor damage to a second. No registration booths were reported under attack at any time. Two of the three dead rioters have been identified as non-residents of CHEJU-DO. COMMENT: The report of two non-residents being found among the dead rioters indicates what has long been suspected — that communist goons are being shifted from one area to another to instigate and lead attacks on police. Furthermore, continuing reports from border and coastal points claim North Koreans are infiltrating South KOREA to augment communistic leadership reduced by deaths and imprisonment. Additional leadership is also headed for an all-out attempt to disrupt elections.
