fn the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
General MacArthur announces
today the liberation of Seoul, capi
tal of South Korea .from the ag
gressor North Koreans who have
held the city in bondage for almost
three months.
Seoul is "liberated." but not yet
mopped up. Thousands of commies
are still fighting in its narrow,
twisting streets and alleys, sniping
from the bushes, from houses, from
every bit of cover. Experience in
dicates that most of them will
probably have to be killed or
dragged bodily from their hiding
places. That seems to be the way
Asiatics filht.
But a glance at the map will
tell you that with Seoul in our
hands the present situation is pret
ty welt under our control. All of
South Korea's communications
(railroads, highways) center there.
No modern army can survive with
out communications. It is a safe
conclusion that the North Korean
adventure in aggression has ended
in failure.
Is Korea worth what it costtis?
Any answer to that question will
have to be a guess. But hindsight
is useful in appraising present prob
lems. So let's go back to the late
1930 s and Hitler.
Hitler moved into the Rhineland
with armed force. We have reason

Appointment
Of Gifford As
Envoy Puzzles
Republican Regarded By
Truman Btst Qualified;
Demo Aldtf Sidetracked
WASHINGTON In polit
ical circles around Washington, i
lot of people were puzzled today
by the way President Truman has
been filling top level government
jobs.
One thing appears true on the
record. The victors have not been
getting all the spoils, and the Presi
dent has denied key jobs to some
of his most effective money rais
ers in the 1948 campaign.
The newest appointment to oc
casion such surprise is that 6f
Walter S. Gifford. former head of
American Telephone and Tele
graph company, aa ambassador to
London .
Far from being a good Democrat
Gifford was found to be down in
administration political reference
books as a good Republican. And
he was not given just any diplo
matic post; in terms o prestige,
he got the best. Traditionally the
assignment to the court of St.
James had often been a prize
Dolitical Dlum. '
Gifford said in a statement from
New York that he was "very happy
for the opportunity which the ap
pointment . . . gives me to be of
service in these critical times.'
Aides Sidetracked
His selection fit a pattern noted
in other recent personnel changes.
Louis Johnson, whom Mr. Tru
man let out two weeks ago as
secretary of Defense, was one of
the President's most industrious
backers in the 1948 election cam
paign. Many insiders credit him
with raisin? the funds to fuel the
drive which produced the Truman
victory.-
Now Johnson is completely out
of the administration replaced
by Gen. George C. Marshall, who
hai said he spent so many years
as a soldier that he never devel
oped any personal, politics. When
he served formerly as secretary
of state. Marshall ran a strictly bi
partisan shop and kept rigidly
clear of political involvements.
In order to name Gifford to Lon
don Mr. Truman had to refuse
the assignment to former Ambas
sador James Bruce, who had pre
viously served as envoy to Argen
tina and as director of the Eu
ropean rearmament program in
the State department.
Like Johnson, Bruce is reported
to have contributed generously to
the 1948 political warchest and to
have raised additional funds.
Months ago newsmen heard that
the President had told him he
would go to London when Ambas
sador Lewis Douglas quit.
Gifford Best Qualified
Persons familiar with the Presi-
dent's views say he picked Gif
ford for the London post because
he considered him the best quali
fied man for the job. He wanted
some one with a knowledge of gov
ernment operation, sound judg
ment, administrative ability and
personal wealth.
Gifford had done government
work during both world wars and
in the early days of the depres
sion. He could afford the extra ex
penses of being envoy to London.
These may amount to as much as
$25,000 a year above the $5,000
salary and about $15,000 in allow
ances which the job carries.
Also the fact that he is a Repub
lican is regarded at the White
House as strengthening bi-partisan
foreign policy.

Hope Given That
Maj. Gen. Dean
May Not Be Dead
WITH U. S. FIRST CAVALRY
DIVISION, Korea Reports
to U. S. Counter-Intelligence corps
officers held out a glimmer of
hope today that Maj. Gen. William
F. Dean may be alive.
He has been officially listed as
missing since July 20 when his
doughboys last saw him fighting
Red tanks with a GI bazooka team
in Taejon.
The C1C said three South Koreans
who had escaped from the prison
stockade at Chongju before it was
dynamited by fleeing Reds re
ported they overheard Communist
officers making plana last Satur
day to move the former 24th di
vision commander from Chongju
to Seoul. '
Seoul is about 70 miles north
of Chongju.
The CIC report! came aa the
24th division, now under command
of Maj. Gen. John H. Church, re
took Taejon, scene of its most
shattering defeat and the loss of
its general.
Taejon is 9$ milea south of Seoul,
the Korean capital.
Two wounded U. S. soldiers re
ported that 40-odd American nn
soners were tied up and shot at
Taejon recently.
The wounded men said they es
taped the massacre by playing
dead.
CIC officers said they did not
know whether the three South
Korean informants actually saw
General Dean before they escaped.
A division spokesman said Com
munist prisoners reported the Reds
killed and burned 18 Americans
and slew 787 South Korean soldiers
and civilians before pulling out of
Chongju.

Passion Play Wins
Bout With Reds
ROME (JP The passion play
of Sezie, a amall town south of
Rome, was credited with winning
a bout with Communism.
The play, a traditional Good Fri
day ritual in Sezte for centuries,
waa revived last Easter for the
first time since the war. An esti
mated 65.000 tourists and Romans
joined the town's population o I
21,000 tor the occasion.
Now the play is being brought
to Rome for a holy year presen
tation in the ruins of the Colosseum
Saturday night under the sponsor
ship of the Italian tourist office.
The teat with the Comumnisls
who control Srzte's city govern
mentcame during a dress re
hearsal last Sunday, according to
II Popolo, organ of Premier Lie
Gasperi'l Christian Democrat
party.
Under the headline, "A Setback
for PCI" (Italian Commun
ist party), II Popolo said t h e
people of Sczze ignored Commun
ist leaders' order to attend a fes
tival staged by L'Unita, party
newspaper, and went instead to
the passion play rehearsal.
II Popolo said the people of
Seize voted for the Communists
in the 1948 election, "but now
much water has passed under the
bridge and the people dared to dis
obey the Communists."

Fermit To Pursue Foe
Across 38th Parallel
atr The AMoclatae fni
An allied commander said today
the North Korean army is in com
plete rout and no longer exists
aa an organised force.
The appraisal waa made by Lt,
Gen. Walton H. Walker, com
mander of the U.S. Eighth army,
as remnants of the once-powerful
150,000-man Communist army re
treated toward the 38th parallel
whence the North Korean
launched their attack June 25.
Aa U.S. marines mopped np des
troyed Seoul, South Korean capital,
fast-moving armored allied units
further carved up Communist
forces in South Korea. .
Walker aaid all Red forces south
of the Pusan-Taejon-Seoul highway
winding diagonally from southeast
Korea In the northwest will be
annihilated. Any possibility of or
ganized Communist retreat from
the ""jth was removed Tuesday
by the joining of armored columns
pushing up from Puaan and down
from Inchon. Thia line joining the
old beachhead with the allied sec
ond front ia now secure, Walker
said, and the Reda are firmly
trapped.
The allied commander warned,
however, that the fanatical enemy
had fighting atrength in local areas
and there would be considerable
pocket combat before the Commua
uts are wiped out completely.
United nationa forcea took fresh
victories in their stride. One Red
city after another fell to the fast

As North Koreans broke and fled
towards the 38th parallel, allied
commanders awaited instructions

Walker aaid he had not vet been
instructed whether to proceed
across the parallel but expected
word from the high command Boon.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur report
edly haa been given authority to
aend troopa acroai the 38th parallel

Hut responsible quarter! 1
Washington who reported this said
no final decision haa been made
thus far as to whether the United
Nations shall occupy North Korea
after the fighting stops.
These Informants aaid the rea
soning back of the decision is that
It would not be possible to restore
"international peace and securitr
In the area" unless the North Ko
rean Red army is totally defeated.
Top diplomats at the U. N. and
in several capitals continued today
