number of Russians in North Korea. FEC headquarters was understood to have set the figure at about 5,000 instead of the total reported by 8th Army sources.

The Red officer said he could not be sure they were Russians, but he said the men he saw were installing anti-aircraft equipment at Communist frontline positions.
