Soviet Korea "Will Destroy" U. S. Korea

SEOUL, (AP)-The Russian puppet regime in North Korea, in a broadcast intercepted by the U. S. army and made public today, threatened "to destroy" the elected government in American-occupied South Korea.

The broadcast from Pyongyang, headquarters of the Soviet occupation zone, was the first picked up since an election in North Korea Aug. 25 for a supreme peoples council.

It heaped abuse on the Korean republic in South Korea, which was an outgrowth of United Nations-observed elections in the U. S. occupation zone May 10. and then said without elaboration:

"We have elected our representatives to the supreme peoples' council to destroy these treacherous people in South Korea. Each of our election cards will turn into bullets to destroy the puppet government of South Korea when the central government of Korea is established."

Earlier, the U. S. army announced that a survey showed 24 political slayings in South Korea during August.
