Comment The Chinese Com
munist 9th Army Group, representing the largest uncommitted Chines*,
reserve force known to be in Korea, was identified in the Wonsan arc a.
early in February. Subsequent reports indicated that elements of this
Army Group were moving south into central Korea to positions north of
the 38th Parallel. The continued presence of major Chinese Communist
units on defensive missions in the Wonsan area precludes their imme
(nate use as reinforcements in the front lines.

4. Chinese Communists assuming direction of_ turilla operations in
Burma:
the Chinese
Communists have trained and equipped 600
Burmese Communists and 300 Kachin
followers of the rebel leader Naw Seng.
these forces are to be infiltrated into Burma where they will conduct
widespread guerrilla warfare against the Burmese Government under
the direction of Chu Chia-pi, "famed" Communist guerrilla leader
In Yunnan. The Embassy comments that Chu is ideally suited for such
an assignment and that this method of Chinese intervention will be
most difficult for the Burmese Government to combat.
Comment: Information has been steadily
accumulating from numerous sources indicating Chinesescommunist
preparations for limited intervention in Burma. Burmese forces
are largely committed against insurgents in lower Burma and few
reinforcements could be spared for operations in the north. Chinese
aid to Burmese Communists would instill new spirit in the latter's
currently disorganized insurrection and develop it into a serious
threat to the existence of the moderate Burmese Government.

bands have directed their resistance activities against minor Polish
Communist officials, farm cooperative organizations and telephone
lines of the Polish Internal Security Police. An attack against an
important Soviet communications line is a more sophisticated form
of resistance.
