Ward was seen floating face

Prior to taking off, the plane
had been equipped with one of
several life rafts to be used in
an afternoon practice demonstra

President Syngman Rhee, who
Saturday postponed indefinitely his
ultimatum that Czech and Polish
truce inspectors get out, rapped U.
S. policy in Asia at a rally in
Seoul.
But the demonstrations which
in eight violent days saw 44 U.S.
soldiers and possibly 100 Koreans
injured appeared to have lost
their steam.
Rhee told Koreans assembled to

Korea's liberation from Japan that
the United States now advocates

ance." . , !
Rhee said President Eisenhower
enunciated the policy at the Gene

World to abandon the drift toward
this and other "status quo" poli
cies.
Instead, Rhee declared, the Free
World should immediately "roll
back the Iron Curtain from areas;
it has illegally engulfed.
Rhee said the alternative would
be to give way gradually to com-

"The real problem," he added,

how to deal effectively with Com

Dr. Harris said the warden

the Soviet Union that a discussion
of German unity and the release
!of Germans held ' in Russia is
"necessary" during his impending
trip to Moscow, the German gov

Adenauer told the Russians that
he is prepared to leave for the
Soviet capital on Sept. 9 in response
to the Kremlin's invitation to dis
cuss establishing diplomatic, cul
tural and trade relations, the an
nouncement said.
He said that he is ready to dis
cuss "ways and means" of setting
up relations in these fields.
But he said the Bonn govern
ment "is of the opinion that the
discussion of the establishment of
diplomatic, cultural and trade re
lations makes necessary the dis
cussion of other questions."
The Soviets, in their note of Aug.
3, appeared to rule out any dis
cussion of these subjects. They
suggested that Adenauer come to
Moscow late this month or early in
September to discuss a three-point
agenda setting up normal rela

and trade fields.
