Thieves Control
Market In Korea
. —$—
In Ihe city of Seoul, the capital
of Korea, United States Army
supplies arc sold openly each day
in the thieves’ market, according
to a dispatch in the New York
Times, from Charles Grutzner,
who reports .that there is not
much that the Army can do about
it.
The Army is unable to seize
stacks of G. I. field jackets, trou
sers, soap and other Army goods,
because it is unable to prove that
the merchandise came from a
warehouse or clock. The problem
-is difficult because much U. S.
Army equipment was given to
the South Korean Army in 1948
and 1949. Some of this has fallen
into the hands of the North Ko
reans, who also raided warehouses
when they entered South Korean !
cities. In other places, South Ko- j
rean officials let the populace help i
itself to stores and warehouses
before the invaders arrived.
The description of the thieves’
market is somewhat interesting.
Hundreds of long tables are plac
ed so closely that the aisles per
mit only one person to walk com
fortably but the customers are ■
four-deep in the walks, trying on i
garments and arguing about
prices. Ninety per cent of the
tables are loaded with army sup
plies, including post exchange
items, such as cameras, cigarettes
and lotions. The asking prices are
"robbery in themselves.” At dusk,
the tables are cleared and the
wares are stored in adjoining j
buildings or carried off by the j
dealers. Then the gates are lock
ed so that no one can steal the I
empty tables.
Mr. Grutzner says that the
thieves’ market in Seoul is only
one-tenth the size of the one in
Pusan, where the theft of army
supplies was rampant, especially I
in the dark days of the war in |
mid-September. The Kore an po- !
lice cooperate and arrest native |
dealers whenever the Army can j
prove specific lots of goods as!
stolen. The Provost Marshal is j
having a hard time to devise a j
plan to clamp down on the sales I
of the stolen supplies.
