...Denmanson correspondence to the Star followed, and brought in hundreds of letters from irate beer drinkers . . . The general pattern had the mythical subscriber writing she had seen a man enter a bar and stagger out after one beer. Each letter ended "Anyone who drinks beer would commit murder. Mr. Denmanson agrees with...
Everywhere the pattern was the same: these were not chance killings but deliberate, premeditated executions of political prisoners, relatives of South Korean soldiers and suspected antiCommunists. Said the United Nations Commission on Korea in a report to Secretary General Trygve Lie: "The commission condemns the complete disregard by the North Korean authorities of civilized standards of behavior as well as of the principle of the Geneva Conventions."

Almost as though the war had never been, Syngman Rhee's days last week had returned to their orderly pattern.

Promptly, 200 German riot squadsmen rushed to the scene, arrested seven Communists-and everyone went back to his beer. That was the pattern in most of Western Germany. Police tirelessly quenched "peace bonfires," confiscated leaflets and arrested another 1,000 Communists. In Düsseldorf, a few days before, the British had requisitioned the Communists' brand-new, $500,000 headquarters building to house British troops; when the Reds refused to move out, British...
