(Editor Note: The Communist upsurge is still advancing in the vast areas of South East Asia, a United Press survey showed today. The recent conference of United States diplomats in Bangkok put the spotlight on the Red threat. The following despatch is based on thumbnail re ports on the Communist situation from United Press bureaux, in 15 countries — from India and China to Australia and New Zealand).

New York, February 27. The upsurge of Communism is spreading from occupied China through countries of South East Asia, a United Pross survey showed today. South Korea, Burma and Thailand-doscribed as the fountainhead of Communist activity in the area, appear to be under the most direct throat.
