South Korean police saw the North Koreans in an area called Segumjung. The infiltrators, when questioned by police, showed identification cards for an intelligence corps, a Korean agency. When police tried to take them to the station to verify the identification, the infiltrators fought and escaped one by one. The captain pulled a pistol to shoot the last one and was shot and killed by a North Korean behind him. The Korean army forces were then alerted.
Five killed-one captured
As a result of the fight, five North Koreans were killed and one was captured and taken to police headquarters for questioning. Before he could be questioned, he pulled the pin on his hand grenade and killed himself.
Four days later, another infiltrator was captured. "The police asked him if he thought the plan would succeed," Lee said. "He answered they never thought of failure but only of death."
Lee told of several small border attacks previous to the infiltration. On Nov. 2, 1966, North Koreans assaulted the U.S. forces in the DMZ and killed several American and South Korean soldiers. This was the most serious attack, according to Lee, since the war.
After this attack a committee was summoned to study enemy operations. They found North Koreans were increasing their espionage operations and estimated that in 1968 North Korean agents would be scattered in all of South Korea. The North Koreans were being trained to adjust themselves to the South Korean terrain and the language differences. The agents were divided into eight sections of 300 men, each studying the eight provinces of South Korea.
The South Korean government is trying strongly to protect its border lines and inform the people about the Communist activities.
"We can't debate with the North Koreans," Lee said. "The best way to do it is to just protect our our boundaries."
Within the past year, the Virginia Inn motel at 2907 W. 6th St. has been the victim of two armed robberies.
Virginia Inn hit by robbers-again
The first of the two robberies occurred last summer and resulted in the kidnapping and murder of a clerk. The motel was robbed again on Jan. 13 of an undisclosed amount of money.
Bud Martin, manager of the motel, believes the motel's location and accessibility have been the main reasons for the recent robberies.
"My business, like all the other all-night establishments along the highway, are easier targets for robberies than those which are

Wage hike won't affect student jobs
KU students may have to pay more for a Sunday night hamburger, but at least they can stop worrying about losing their university-sponsored jobs as a result of the new federal minimum wage increase.
Officials of Watson Library, the Kansas Union, and the Department of Buildings and Grounds, the three largest student employers in campus, say they anticipate no problems in keeping their student workers in spite of the Board of Regents' failure to increase the University's budget to accommodate the wage increase.
The increase, which become effective Feb. 1, raised the wages of workers covered by the Fair Labor Standard Act of 1963 from $1.40 to $1.60 per hour. This includes workers in manufacturing, transportation, wholesale trade,
A U.S. Office of Education grant to KU will fund a summer institute to encourage and improve the teaching of music literature courses in secondary schools.
Applicants should have a baccalaureate degree in music education, and they must be scheduled to teach a course in music literature at the high school level, according to Dr. Milton Steinhardt, professor of music history and director of the insitute.
The institute is scheduled from June 17 to August 10, and it will give participants an opportunity to review and extend their knowledge of music history and literature. In addition, they will observe an experienced teacher in a classroom situation with high school students, and attend a seminar devoted to problems of teaching music literature.
Participants will be chosen from the Midwest and will receive a weekly stipend of $75 and an allowance of $15 a week for each dependent. Application deadline is March 17.
Martin praised the police for their quick response to his call.
open only in the daytime," Martin said.
However, KU students will not be completely free of the effects of the wage hike. Local merchants, especially restaurant chains and laundries, are concerned over how they are going to meet the challenge of higher wages. Some say they will raise prices, others say they will have to lay off employees or cut overtime work to reduce labor costs, and others say they are already paying the minimum wage rate.
Retelling his experience during the most recent robbery, Martin said. "They came in here and stuck a gun against the back of my wife's head. We were both pretty scared, although I have had a gun held on me before."
The El Navajo motel, which is located two blocks east of the Virginia Inn was also the scene of a recent robbery in which the manager was shot.
and large retail stores. The law also increased the minimum wages of workers in hospitals, laundries, restaurants and hotels from $1.00 to $1.15 per hour.
"The police drive by here 12 or 15 times a night, but it is impossible for them to be everywhere at once."
Music institute applications due
Although some students feared they might lose their jobs because of a lack of funds produced by the wage increase, officials say most University - employed students are already making more than the minimum wage and they should not be affected by the law.
In both mobel robberies, the robbers were all from out of town.
