...Along the 151-mile Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea, North Korean soldiers have taken to using female dogs in making their patrols. Reason: they hope that the bitches, when in heat, will lure South Korea's male patrol dogs away from their handlers-thus winning canine defections to the North. This petty bit of harassment shows just how far the Communist North Koreans are willing to go to stir up trouble on the border. They have increased their subversion and infiltration attempts by 40% this year, and in recent weeks have continued to step up the pace...
...first five months of 1967, North Korea committed 59 border violations, half of which resulted in clashes be tween patrols. Seven weeks ago, 60 North Korean and 40 Republic of Korea soldiers clashed and, for the first time since the armistice agreement in 1953, the R.O.K. forces had to use artillery fire to throw back the North Koreans. The North Koreans have also been infiltrating subversives and saboteurs into South Korea, about half of them by sea. They now have fast (40 knots), 60-ft. to 70-ft. boats, designed to look like fishing craft, that regularly land agents along...
Nasty & Vicious. In just such a manner last week, North Koreans struck twice at U.S. and South Korean positions in and near the DMZ. Just before dawn, a North Korean band slipped into a barbed-wire compound of the U.S. 2nd Division just south of the DMZ and planted bombs under two Quonset barracks; the resulting explosion killed two Americans and injured 16 others, along with two South Korean soldiers. A few days later, North Koreans who were attempting to infiltrate a guard post in the same area exchanged fire with U.S. and South Korean troops, wounding an American...
...been far less successful in manipulating the economy. In 1961, he launched a seven-year plan as part of the broader "Chullima" development program-named after the legendary Korean flying horse that could cover 300 miles in a single bound. Kim has been forced to admit that his flying horse has acted more like an old grey mare, has therefore extended the deadline for the plan's vaunted goals to 1970. To get the investment he needs for development, he has quietly shifted his allegiance from Red China to Russia, which is far more able to afford North Korea...
...Minh's 77th birthday. Dawn broke over a formidable invasion fleet steaming slowly off the coast. Two cruisers and five destroyers turned broadside to begin the softening-up bombardment of the shore line in the heaviest concentration of naval gunfire since the Korean War, while the amphibious assault boats swarmed in. Waves of troop-packed helicopters rose from the deck of the carrier Okinawa. The amphibious troops and their tanks, tractors and guns came ashore, meeting with little resistance. For the heliborne assault forces, it was another story...
