Koreans Die
In Riots
SEOUL, Feb. 26 (.Pi The U. S.
army reported today five or six
Korean civilians and a policeman
were killed In a renewal of communist-inspired
agitation against the
United Nations. Thirteen Koreans
were injured seriously.
Saboteurs also destroyed a bridge,
cut telephone wires and placed ties
across railroad tracks.
The meager army report said
groups of from 50 to 1000 attacked
police boxes last night at widely
scattered points in Southern Korea.
The incidents were similar to
those of February 7 in which 47
persons were killed. Rioters at that
time carried placards demanding
the withdrawal of the UN commis
sion for Korea. The commission
was thwarted by the Russians In
Its attempt 'o plan nationwide elec
tions leading o Korean self-government.
Feeling is running high with the
approach of Sam II Day. March 1,
commemorating the Ill-fated Kor
ean declaration of independence
fiom the Japanese in 1919. By
Korean account. 20,000 persons were
killed then while attempting to
demonstrate peacefully against the
