Situation In Korea Could Develop
Into Third World War Kick-Off
By JAMES WHITE
Associated Press Foreign News Analyst -Korea
this week upheld Its growing reputation as a likely spot
for the birth of World War III.
In southern Korea, officials of the American-sponsored govern
ment reached the stage ot talking openly about Invading the Soviet
sponsored north before the north beats them to the punch.
These officials still would not
let correspondents attribute such
statements to tnem personally
but AP correspondent William R
Moore radioed Irom beoul:
"Some very significant figures
In the. . .government think the
time must come soon wnen Ini
Infant republic must invade the
communist-ruled norm as a sen
defense measure."
Moore said moderate Koreans
advised against this. But the talk
of beating the north to the punch
ooviously nas increased recently,
A few months ago in Tokyo, Am
erican Army officers back from
Korea told me it existed, but was
not very open.
Later this week Moore cabled
that the northerners had Invaded
the southern part of the Obgjlm
peninsula, which is intersected
bv the 38th parallel that divides
Korea into two separate coun
tries. Each Is recognized by its
respective sponsor in the cold
war and by tome of each spon
sor's allie.
This little war at OngJIn has
been going on since late May,
when a southern expedition by
sea drove tne nonnerners oui.
The northerners kept coming
back, however, and did so in
force this week.
Russia, America Concerned
The question of who actually
Invaded whom may not be as
Important as this question
whether the situation that makes
Invasion am active to both sides
can be ended wlhout a bloodv
civil war, and whether that could
be kept from expanding In'o
something bigger. Russia and
America both have vital strate
gic Interest in Korea.
In any case, the renewal of
iignting at Ubciim helped to spot
light the meeting scheduled this
week between southern president
byngman Rhee and Generalise!
mo Chiang Kai-shek of China, to
promote a Pacific union against
communism. American help
wouia oe asuea.
There long seems to have been
sentiment In the north to "re
unify" Korea (which all Koreans
want, one way or another) but
to do it by conquering the south.
The growth of a rival sentiment
In the south has speeded up since
the southern Army acquired thi
arms left behind by Department
U.S. Occupation troop early this
summer. Soviet troops reported
ly left the north some months
earlier, after building and arm
ing a northern Korean army.
Young Vet Want Reunion
But there's something else
worth noting about the southern
army. It contains thousands of
young Koreans who bore arms
under Japan. Just how many 1
not known but I am told by some
Koreans tnat mere may be as
rriny as 30,000 roughly a third
ol President Rhee's present land
force, which he wants to quad
ruple. The story Is that there were
about 100,000 young Koreans who
Joined or were drafted into the
Japanese Army. After the war
thousands of them got Into the
southern Korean army, where
they naturally are Interested In
any situation Which mlnht Im
prove their lot. My information
Is that their main Idea of how to
do this Is to "reunify the couiv

They think It would make them
all heroes.
One officer was asked recent
ly, what if that results In a long
war that would drag in Russia
and America and bring on World
War III?
"What of It?" was the gruff,
Japanese-type reply.
Columbia River Dasin Plans Opposed By CIO, Demanding Fresh Examination By CVA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (tfV
CIO opposition to earlv congres
sional authorization of $3,000,000,
000 in projects to develop the
Columbia river basin was called
"astounding" by a congressman
from the Pacific northwest.
The CIO opposition was stated
In a letter which advocated thut
the projects be re-examined by
the proposed Columbia Valley ad
ministration. The projects are proposed In a
coordinated report by Army en
gineers and the Reclamation bu
reau on development of the val
ley. Rep. Sanborn (R-Idaho), plac
ing the letter In the congressional
record, said such a step as advo
cated by the CIO would mean a
halt to Federal participation in
northwest development for
months, maybe years.
The CIO letter, dated August 1
and signed by John Brophy, Di
rector CIO Industrial councils
and chairman of Its committee
on regional development and con
servation, and Nathan Cowan,
CIO legislative director, was re
ceived by all members of the
Senate and House Public Works
committee, members of the
Washington Congressional dele
gation and other House and Sen
ate members.
A move had been made in the
Senate to attach the coordinated
repo.-t to a pending omnibus riv
ers and harbors bill and it was
reported the Hoi'" commlttt-e
was agreeable to that move.
Claim Projects Harmful
"The CIO is completely opposed
to the inclusion In the pending
rivers and harbors bill any of the
authorizations of the Army and
Reclamation bureau projects In
the Columbia river basin,' the
letter said. "Many of these proj
ects will be harmful to Industry,
labor, and the general public In
the northwest. They should be
reexamined by a Columbia Val
ley administration."
Both Senate and House Public
Works committees have for six
weeks been conducting hearings
on an administration bill to set
up a Columbia Valley administra
tion in the Pacific Northwest to
develop the Columbia river tx jin
but the bill is not expected to
get before Congress until next
year.
Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.)
and Cain (R-Wash.) have bills
in the Senate to authorize the
projects contained in the coordi
nated report.
There was no explanation In
the CIO letter of reasons for op
posing the authorization of the
projects contained in the coor
dinated report.
The Fishermen'! union In the
northwest Is said to be one of
the strongest organizations in the
CIO and Fish Packers have op
posed construction of dams on
the Columbia river and tributar
ies on the grounds they will in
jure the salmon runs.
