...lull, the U.S. Fifth Air Force sent hundreds of Thunder-jets, Shooting Stars and Mustangs ranging over Communist camping grounds in western Korea. Night-raiding B-26 and B-29 bombers struck at Communist supply bases and transport columns rolling southward towards the front. The Reds retaliated with a propaganda attack: a Communist plane dropped leaflets on U.S. lines showing American civilians relaxing in Caribbean sunshine. Front-line loudspeakers played Christmas carols. Through the imperfect loudspeaker transmission, some listeners thought they heard the phrase, in imperfect English: "We want to go home as much...
...leading bandits" responsible for the "month-by-month decline" in coal production. Then the accusing finger pointed at Gerhart Eisler, the shifty little Comintern agent who jumped bail in the U.S and escaped to East Germany on the Polish liner Batory.

More than 2,600 bandits were killed, another 1,300 wounded, and 1,500 captured or surrendered, but still the Communist forces seemed to stay about the same. For one thing, army and police efforts were poorly coordinated. Said one police officer: "This is a dirty little...
KOMEKON's progress is disturbingly impressive, but the strain, the sacrifice, the sabotage and the suffering is also immense -and sizable enough for the Communists themselves to acknowledge. From their own propaganda broadcasts, from hour after monotonous hour of "selfcriticism" at the Czech purge trials, from intelligence studies of East Europe's censored, servile press last week, came these portents of KOMEKON's troubles...
