Bowdin Sutherlin Fruit WOOL GROWERS YMCA Speaker At Rotary Lauds Korean Nation, Urges Continuance Of U. S. Help . The need for aid to Korwv "democracy's forgotten front" wes explained to Roseburg fteiariani Thursday noon by George A. Fitch, world services representative of the Young Men's Christian association. "It Is of the greatest Importance to continue our eld to Korea in every way end form," the YMCA official maintained. "Korea Is one of the most important bastions of democracy today," he said, "and we must help maintain it." The veteran of 37 years in the Orient told his audience of the important part the YMCA is play ing, and will continue to play with the aid of America, in Korean wel fare. Fitch pointed out that work ers as well as money are needed to do the job. Actually, he said, the Koreans have shown that they can support their own activities if they are aided by United States supervisory personnel. Before backgrounding his listen ers with a short summary of past events in Korea, Fitch told how he has, "in two years in the little known" country, seen more accom plishments than any other place j in his entire career. Before that time, he spent most of his 37 years of service in China. Red Menace Present Pointing out the need for contin ued aid to Korea by the U.S., Fitch told of the precarious situation in the divided country. North of the 38th parallel is the Red-trained and Red-directed army of North Korea. South of the line stands the U.S. -trained but Korean-directed South Korean army. Thousands have been killed in skirmishes along this border, Fitch stated, but there has been no actual in vasion by either side. The division of the country was granted Russia at the Yalta conference; a very bad blunder, in Fitch's opinion. The north half of Korea pro duces 90 percent of the power and 85 percent of most minerals, but the southern part is mainly agri cultural. In Fitch's opinion, it is added a professional touch to the well-rounded performance of the amateurs. He sang "Old Man River" and "Gianina Mia." Gambler's Heavy Rake-Off Bared In Grand Jury Probe NEW YORK, May 19(,P) As sistant district attorney Alfred H. Scotti charges that big-time gamb ler Frank Erickson has a financial finger in a 685.000 eambline nip dished up in a fancy Florida re sort. Scotti said in court that Erick son gets a cut from a gaming room operated at the swank Colo nial Inn, located near Hallandale, Fla., between Miami and Hollyr wood. Hallandale is the train stop for the gulfstream race track. The Florida establishment netted a profit of $685,538 in one year for nnexson ana us fionaa and De troit, Mich., owners. Scotti aaid. He declared Erickson's cut of five percent netted him $34,276 for the period. The assistant district attorney said the information was revealed in records seized May 2 in Erick son's Park Avenue offices. Erickson, admitted operator of a coast-to-coast $12,5O0,00O-a-year bookmaking business, recently ap peared before a Senate investigat ing committee. Records seized in the raid may be heid for scrutiny by the district attorney's office, general sessions court Judge John A. Mullen ruled yesterday. A grand jury has been probing Erickson's gambling activities since the raid on his office. Refrigeration Service, Myrtle Creak. Grower! Ann., Sutherlin. Portland remarkable the way the southern Koreans have managed to get by without the industry of the north. Despite the myth propagated by the Japanese, the Koreans are phy sically superior, the most hospit able people in the world, very gen erous, deeply religious and capa ble of great endurance, the world traveler said. Early Ganius Displaytd Koreans were the first to print with movable, metal type. They were the first to have ironclad battleships, which they used to de feat the Japanese in 1493. They have a very scientific alphabet which is easily learned. , Fitch cited the recent interna tional marathon race at Boston as an example of Korean physical capabilities. Three Koreans, were entered, and they won first, second and third places in a field of 40. To show their hospitality, the speaker pointed out that the south ern Koreans have cared for three million northerners who have fled the Communists. The speaker told of several in stances of generosity, proving that all we have to do is give the people the know-how and they will do the rest. Oriental Religion Discarded There are more Christians per capita in the land of 30 million than in any other country of the world. About three-fourths are Protestant and one-fourth Roman Catholic. Religions of Oriental or igin have died out. All the Japa nese Shinto shrines have oeen lorn down. There are 53 new churches in Seoul alone, one with a mem bershin of 4.550. The ymcas were closed auring the Japanese occupation, except for one in Seoul, the capital city. Now there are 19 in the city and three more being formed. The student YMCA has been, and will continue to be, a chal lenge to Red cells operating in Ko rean educational institutions, Fitch said. "It is up to us whether Ko rea will be on our side in the future as a Christian democracy, or whether the country will be a part of the iron curtain," he said. The YMCA worker told briefly of the history leading up to present day Korea and some adventures he has had in past years. He told of the steps leading up to Japanese domination in 1910 and of the recent "rebirth of the re public and emergence from posi tion as a slave state." Education, Aid Sought In U.S. Fitch related how he has helped many Koreans to come to the U.S. for education and aid, including President Dr. Syngman Rhee and two fellow countrymen, the latter smuggled out as servants during Japanese control of the country. He also told of the generosity and friendship of Kim Koo, who was recently assassinated. Kim Koo was president of the government in exile in China during the war and long a leader in the Korean fight for independence. Fitch, who organized the Seoul club of Rotary International, is a past president of the Shanghai iand Chungking clubs. He was acting mayor of Nanking for a time dur ing the war. He was born in China and educated in the United States.
