The Play in Korea Korea? It's justhe same old script, same old villain. Only this time there's a dif feren victim and the stage-setting lis new r and the Tier, who turned in a poor performance for Czecho slovakia, gets another chance to make good. The Moscow announcement that soviet troops will be with s. drawn from Korea by January 1 upon request of the natives is : pretty transparent propaganda. It is supposed to demonstrate to Korea and United Nations that Russia is the champion of free dom, like she says. And it is supposed to show up the United States as determined old imperialists, like she says. I . Probably, nobody was fooled much, though, "because the story from Moscow explained that northern Korea has had "ample op- . portunity to create a democratic administration That is the crux of the plot. Transplanted, it means that Rus sian troops are no longer needed in northern Korea because com- munists are firmly established in a puppet government: which feels strong enough to take over all Korea without active; aid of Russia soldiers. It is going to be non-aggression" as in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and elsewhere. ' I The stage, you see, is all set. The only properties that pre vent the iron curtain from ringing down are American troops in southern Korea. Syngman Rhee, head of the UN-approved gov ernment of southern Korea, has feared a situation like this for sometime. That's why he asked Americans to stick around un til he's prepared to resist the advances of the villain. That made the U. S. stand-in for United Nations, and since , last July we have quietly built a native army known as the Ko rean constabulary. These south Koreans are uniformed troops, trained by Americans and equipped with rebuilt American Ga rand rifles. They expect' to inherit whatever military equipment (mortars, artillery, trucks) the U, S. army may leave behind. The United States would gladly turn over its role of guardian of Korea's independence to the United Nations. But it is only good politics, and humane, to play the part until Rhee feels strong enough to. hold his own or until United Nations Hs pre pared to protect the life of a country at whose birth it officiated. Abandoning Korea now would probably just precipitate a civil war . . . nothing could please Russia more, for its troops could remain close to Korean borders. Yeats Gaelic Bard The bardic order of Ireland, singers of the sagas and lays of ancient Gaelic literature, "had gone down in the wars of the 17th century, and poetry had found shelter amid the turf smoke of the cabins And that is where William Butler Yeats rediscovered it and gave the world anew the epic tales and heroic poetry composed by the guilds of early storytellers. He mined the rich fields of Irish folk literature, cut and polished the rough stones and brought out such gems as "Catbleen Ni Houlihan" and "The Countess Cathleen." Yeats, celebrated as the uncrowned poet laureate of Ireland, was the disputed contemporary leader of the Irish literary re vival which regarded poetry and drama as primarily fine art, rather than political propaganda as had earlier writers, Yeats was a true son of firm he even served as senator when the Irish Free State was established in 1922 but his efforts to re vive appreciation of the cultural heritage of his race showed a higher patriotism than that of his more rabid literary predeces ors. Thus it is fitting that his body should now be returned to his native sod. Yeats died January, 1939, in France at the age of 74 after he had written: "The years, like great black oxen tread the world, and God the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet." f And: "I have believed the best of every man, and find that to believe it is enough to make a bad man show him at his best, or even a good man swing his lantern higher. f Last week William Butler Yeats was reburied at Drumclif f, in Sligo, where he spent his childhood and where once he said: "Come, heart, where hUl is heaped upon hill: I . For there the mystical brotherhood Of sun and moon and hollow and wood And river and stream work out their tcill." Soviet Union YJay Absorb Small Nations S ! By Joseph and Stewart Alsop WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 The Berlin crisis nas naa at least one useful result. It has cast consider able I light on the Kremlin's future plans tor the organization of the new ! Soviet empire. It is now an even bet that what is ahead! per haps in a few months, perhaps after; a' year or so is the forcible bodily incorporation of Russia's eastern Europeon sattellites in a greater Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Throughout the Berlin nego tiations, the Kremlin has sought to j gain two ob j ective. Ob j ec tiye number one hag been to upset 5 - British, French abd j American western G e r - many 9 wuimug, producing area wikhj a sane gov ernment struc ture. Included in this bbjectice has been Soviet par-. "Joseph Alaop tidpation in con- r r trol of the Ruhr. Objective number two, how everl has beenrsimply to expel the from Berlin. And the real Soviet effort has not been concentrat ed on the Ruhr or even on up setting the ar rangements for western G e r many. The real effort has been to gain this sec ond objective of total, exclusive control of Berlin. Af Is indicated by the report of I the odds given above, expert opin ion its still about evenly divided. But a constantly growing faction holds mat the struggle to drive us from Berlin must be linked to the Kremlin's over-all plans for the eastern European satellites. If this faction reasons correctly, the Soviets began some months ago to batten down the hatches, so to! speak, throughout their Euro pean conquests. ( 1 ne atriicuity with Marshal Tito is of course an obvious incident in this process.) tr WE C iyr if - X M .M.

Tlie AU Out 'Give Away' for Vote Newbry Defends Vote on Sale Of Timbered School Property Berlin West's 'Wedge' Secretary of State Earl T.

India was bit rough to wipe out Hyderabad by force; but that was better than having UN prop up this political and geographic anachron ism under the rule of preventing war. The continuance of this suzerainty in the very heart of India was quotesque, particularly since the vast majority of its people were Hindus and sympath etic with the new state of India. Once there were 65 princely entities in India. They were heir looms kept alive by Great Britain on the ancient rule of "divide and conquer.! They were bossed by Britain in external relations and disturbed ' very little in their internal affairs. The reigning maharajah or nizam was a survival from the orient's past, with all the trappings of an oriental throne elephants and jewels and gold arid wives (if Moslem). From his howdah the ruler looked down on a squalid mass of humanity, improverished, dis eased, ridden with religion. It was time to put an end to such costly nonesense. The Indian government at New Delhi, headed by Premier Nehru, is making a real effort to establish itself securely, and to solve some of India's problems. Consolidation of Hyderbad with India leaves only one state. Kashmir, whose political connection is uncertain. At present it is attached to India, but if a plesescite Is held its Moslem majority may swing it to Pakistan. A UN com mittee has been at work trying to effect a peaceful settlement. When the Kashmir allegiance is determined then both Pakistan and India can concentrate on improvement of internal conditions. India still has to decide whether to remain within the British commonwealth of nations, but that issue is not so critical as the internal organization of government and economy in each of the new, though old, countries. Down at Ukiah, Cal. six men were indicted on charges of bribery and conspiracy in connection with the operation of slot machines. In the net is a one-time special agent of the attorney general's office. While the attorney general himself is not ac cused, a lot of scandal has involved some of his appointees. The loot from slot machines is so large that it invites bribery Of pub lic officers. In California effort is being made to come to grips .with the men behind the slot machine racket. We need tlie same enterprise up here. Nothing has been done to crack down on the bandits since Governor Snell directed the attoney general to put spurs on enforcement. More spurs are needed.

Model Planes Missing After Flight" Contest Air and ground search for five Biodel planes missing from Sun day s free flight contest near Turner will be made this eve ning, according to Elmer Roth, director of the sponsoring Salem Model Airplane club. He asked that persons who find any of the craft notify him. More than 100 models from as far away as Seattle and Medford participated in the 10th annual class AA contest, at a field three miles south of Turner. Champions were Kenneth Ster nes, Tigard and formerly of Sa lem, junior; Richard Nichol, senior and class D; Don S.

But if they do not already know that after receiv ing from this country the millions of tons of lend lease which helped them to defeat Germany even this demonstration may not convince them of American power. For the western powers the success of the air lift means that no attempt will be made to force a land corridor to Berlin. Even if it falters in cold or foggy weather the Germans probably- will have to suffer the resulting distress rather than to have the western powers resort to bulldozers to open a way to the city. Russia may be waiting on its old ally winter to halt the air lift If this comrade of many wars fails then- Russia may try other tactics organized hoodlum ism in Berlin, a putsch of com munist action committees. Or Russia might start an aerial blockade which would be an act of war. There is still another al ternative which the whole world hopes Russia will use, and speed ily, and that is to settle the con troversy by diplomacy and reopen the railroads and highways.
