...platoon, 26 had been killed and four wounded. Another estimated 10 to 15 U.S. soldiers, who had been captured by the Reds before Roy's platoon surrendered, had also been murdered. From Tokyo a few days later General MacArthur issued a stern warning to North Korean Premier Kim II Sung, which was broadcast by radio and dropped by leaflets over enemy lines. "These crimes are not only against the victims themselves but against humanity as well," said MacArthur. "I shall hold you and your commanders criminally accountable under the rules and precedents...
Prominently featured in the Chinese section were six paintings by a non-convert named Chang Chao-ho, who has been commissioned to illustrate the Church's first full translation of the Bible into Chinese. To him, as to Korean Sculptor Kim Chong Young, the Madonna was an almond-eyed lady in a flowing kimono. A Maori artist decked her in a long grass skirt.

Soviet Colonel General Terenty Shtykov (in Russian his last name means bayonet man), the real military brain behind the North Korean army. Titularly Soviet ambassador to the Korean "People's Republic," he is actually Stalin's proconsul, ruling North Korea (through Kim II Sung) from his roomy, three-story mansion, built on the site of the old Presbyterian Mission compound in Pyongyang. Burly, deadpanned, boorish, he was Soviet delegate on the Joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. [Korean] Commission in 1946. His U.S. opposite number was Major General A. V. Arnold. At one session Shtykov observed testily: "Lenin once said that...
