The troops who on Monday were resting In the sun on the north bank of an important Korean river, held Communist forces northwest of Kapyong last Tuesday and Wednesday. In withdrawing, the Canadians occupied two other mountain positions straddling the Chunchon-Seoul Highway.

They have been sending out patrols to comb the forests: One patrol ambushed and killed "Hans the Terrible," one of the key leaders of the "Brethren." The other leader, Elmar Hilp, is still safe. The Russians have put 25,000 roubles on his head but no Estonian has yet betrayed him. At the same time Russia is having "unreliable" officials purged In the three countries. A Red army general, Johannes Lombak, has been appointed minister of the Interior in Estonia replacing Aleksander Resev. Another Red army man, Leonid Letzman, has taken over Aleks Kelberg's job as Communist party secretary. In Latvia ;hree cabinet ministers have been dismissed and replaced by Russians.

The Estonian partisans are trying to meet this threat by slowly shifting from their forest headquarters into town factories and offices. To do this, they must obtain "workers' books" in which Estonians' past and present employment Is registered. Fortunately for them, false workers' books, according to direct reports from Tallin, can be bought for about 1000 roubles each. The "Brethren" can afford the price because they have not the partisans hard. They live in caves or open air camps on dry spots on wooded marshy land. Many have succumbed to this life, made harder by the increasing shortage of food. A number of uidependent sources agree In estimating the number of partisans in the three countries at 7000. Lithuania (farthest, sway from Rista' has 3500, Latvia 2,000 and Estonia (nearest to Russia 1500. Hunting them are a total of about 100,000 secret police, but supporting the partisans are the populations of the three countries, totalling about 6,000,000 people.
