NHE story of a heroic South Korean guerrilla unit active on Jiih mountain, South Kyongsang province was recently told in the Chinese press on the basis of scanty information in the South Korean papers. This unit, which started its operations as early as 1950 during the war for national liberation, has persevered for nearly fifteen years in face of re-
peated attacks of encirclement. It has preserved itself and even swelled its ranks. This unit with an initial strength of about a hundred men launched surprise attacks again and again on army barracks and _ police headquarters, demolished enemy military trains, burnt up enemy military stores and cut enemy communication lines.

FFICIAL figures released in Rio
y de Janeiro show that the cost of
living rose by 86 per cent. in 1964,
despite the considerable efforts made —
by the Government to reduce infla-
tion through higher taxation and cuts
in expenditure.
Government spokesmen claim that
without the prompt action taken by
the new regime in April, the cost of
living would have rocketed by 140
per cent. in 1964, following an 80
per cent. rise in the previous year.
