Communist Truce Inspectors Moved To Safety

Fears Of Further Attacks By South Korean Terrorists

Seoul, Aug, 2.

Worried American security officers tonight moved Communist truce inspectors, who were shot at on Saturday, into a heavily guarded United States Army compound today to protect them from anti-Communist attack.

The move reflected the apparent deep concern felt by the American authorities that recent de- monstrations. and acts of violence against the Poles and Czechs by South Koreans might increase.
