COMMUNISTS SHOWER PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS
ON UN TROOPS BEFORE PEACE TALKS
Kumjin; 13 July (by special wire from a Chung-yang She correspondent
with the Peace Motorcade) -- The Communist Party has !already started an a]1-
out propaganda offensive designed to weaken UN forces in the cease-fire
talks at Kaesong.. After preparations for the conference were under way, an
unidentified biplane scattered leaflets over the rear of UN lines near the
western front. The mysterious craft first appeared on the-eve of the opening
day of the conference. It flew along the Imjin River and then disappeared in
the darkness
The leaflets contained in both the English and Korean languages a summary
of Malik's peace proposal. and a short editorial insisting on the demands for
world peace outlined by the Communists.
The first person to discover the circular on 9 July was a Sergpltnt.Pai-
sai-fu fpparently a Chinese approximation of a non-Chinese name], who told
the correspondent of his great alarm because the leaflet included only Malik's
proposal and no other.. He said that he had seen circulars in the past,
but that there was a slight difference this time no further explanation give].
According to an unofficial report, similar mystery planes have been active
in other regions on the Korean front since preparations for the peace talks
began. Observers are of the opinion that this demonstrates further enemy cunning
intended to weaken the morale of UN troops.
