Korean Reds PIotControI OfCountry
 American Army
 Officials Obtqin
 Papers of Plans

Seoul, Korea, Oct. 21.-(UP)-Re- liable American Army officials dis closed today the contents of docu- ment reportedly giving in detail plans by which Korean Commun- istS hoped to infiltrate a thorough ly-trained Army" of 500,000 into South Korea with the aim of estab- fishing leftist government.
 The document, said by an Army source to be completely reliable" was entitled, "Joint Soviet Com munist Master Plan for Korea" It vas said to have been written in December, 1945.
 According to the plan, Korean Communists planned two to three course for members in their own armies, police organizations and schools.
 Had Two Objectives
 "As many as possible of these trainees will be infiltrated into the various governmental agencies in South Korea, especially police agen- cies," the document said.
 The master plan allegedly pro- vided the following objectives:
 l. While the Communist
 Party in South Korea was striv-
 ing for membership, it would set
 up branches in every admins
 trative level, from province to
 township.
 2. As soon as proper organ
 ization had been achieved, sev-
 eral moves would have been car-
 ried out simultaneously. Mem
 bers would go underground:
 Various Communists sponsored
 organizations would publicly
 dissociate themselves with the
 party.
 Then Would Compromise
 When the party had reached certain peak and influence with the public and the American Military Government, it then would seek compromise with the politically pow 1rful Korean right wing, the plan further specified. tThe party seemingly would ap- pear to be losing support, as many of its members will be underground, and presumably the rightists will be more agreeable to a compromise This done, the Communists will try to establish government as Tar to the left as possible" the docu- ment said.
 Although the Army source salo the document was written last year, observers believed 1t had exception. al interest in the light of recent Korean political develop mentS.
 Lyuh Woon Heung, leader of the leftist Peoples Party, returned re- gently from a mysterious trip 10 the Soviet-occupied zone of North Korea and signed coalition with Kim Kiusik, the rightist leader This agreement finally allowed tne American Militray Government 70 set up a Korean legislative coun- cil.
 Got Orders From North
 Shortly afterwards, the Peoples Party. the new Democratic Party and rebellious clements of the South Korean Communist Party an nounced formation of "Socialist Labor Party" ,.os because they were unable to get along with their leader, Pax Heun Yung, who was appointed from North Korea last year.
 Disclosure of this document gave rise to the possibility that Lyun- regarded by many as an eSVreiilsss .ss may suddenly have agreed to 1ne coalition only after his VlS!t to North Korea. It also was oeneVeo posstble that the so-called "reoel- iio,,s" Communists, led by Kang Jin, may be pretending disSenslon with the party while they still con tinue to take orders from thelf headnuarters in North Korea.

Tourist Shot in
Lincoln County

The wild ducks, geese and other
waterfowl of North America have
certain well defined flight lanes
which they follow on their migra-
tory flights south in the fall and
back north again the next spring.
The birds ordinarily are supposed
to stay pretty much to their reg
ular routing, but on occasions seem
to enjoy a little extra touring, and
try new flight lane.
Such duck was shot some weeks
ago by Ray Pival, who discovered
the bird had been banded with &
request to report its taking to the
U. 5. Wildlife Service in Washing
ton, D. c. The band was turned
over to Deputy Game Warden o. J.
Nollar who sent it in. A few DAYS
ago word was received from Wash
-ngton that the bird had been band
ed by d. W. Cartwright at 2Ol Bank
OF Commerce Building, Manitoba,
Canada.
The regular flight lane for this
duck is the Mississippi Valley, but
evidently desiring to look over new
territory the migratory bird had
swung west either in search of adj
venture during the summer in the
Northland, or had tried new rout- I
ng on its return from the Gulf
If Mexico. In either case. it was
ar west of its normal migratory 7
light lane
