Last week an eye-catching open letter to President Roosevelt was written by Kilsoo K. Haan, U.S. agent of the Korean National Front Federation, who last October warned the U.S. State Department that Japan would attack the U.S. either in December or February. Mr. Haan, whose prophecies have since varied from the uncanny to the untrue (TIME, Aug. 24), said his underground sources had informed him that the Tojo Cabinet had steadily refused Germany's pleas for a Siberian invasion, even after the Nazis reached Stalingrad's gates...

He is short and 42; he wears rimless spectacles and is given to loud, figured ties. He is often heard, seldom heeded. But last week Kilsoo Haan came into...

One week he took the Military Police apart (a sure-fire routine for soldiers); next week, when he arrived at Camp Haan, the M.P.s threw him in the guardhouse. At Camp Roberts a distraught recruit whose girl in the Midwest had just returned his engagement ring asked Hope to say a word to her in his broadcast. Hope explained that that was against the FCC rules; but after the show he looked up the jilted soldier and put in a telephone call for him. With half...
