V i 1 1 United States Blamed By Some for Failure to Sell South Koreans Democracy By James E. Roper United Press Correspondent Washington, June 27 U,R) Some American officials conced ed today that the United States failed to sell democracy to num bers of South Koreans. The reason for the early steps by the communist invaders against only token resistance are varied. But one factor, it is believed here, is that democracy in South Korea "never did" take effectively. Plenty of Warnings There have been plenty of warnings, Last fall, tha crew of a South Korean ship mutinied and took the vessel and two Americans to communist North Korea. Crews on other ships also have defected. As recently as May 26, South Korean authorities Brrested high army officers on charges of be ing communist sympathizers. Month after month, small num bers of South Korean soldiers "went north" to join the Reds. Reliability of the South Korean army was open to question. Guerilla bands harassed police in the south. The United States used in South Korea the most intensive propaganda campaign it has tried anywhere. Motion pictures, posters and lecturers reached ev ery South Korean. Airplanes dropped news leaflets in remote areas. U. S. Wrote Speeches The United States manned the Seoul radio station and wrote speeches for Koreans to read, It gave the South Koreans radio sets so they could listen. Then It gave away batteries to run the sets. The sets could receive only the American station, But when the station tried to put on sidewalk interview program, more than half the peo ple interviewed showed suspi cions about the Americans. The Korean manager of an American billet spent two years talking to American officers and then conceded privately that he thought the communists were right. . Those two incidents I ob served In 1948. Attributed to Japs Americans attribute some of the Korean attitude to the Japa nese who occupied Korea for 40 years before losing the last war. The Japanese abused and ex ploited the Koreans. Whan the Americans moved in, much of the hatred for the Japanese was transferred to the Americans Any foreigned was considered bad. In the north, the Russians kept more in the background.' In the south, Americans in flashy uniforms appeared to be every where. The people of Seoul were aware that the Americans ruled Many South Koreans, of course, accept democracy. This is particularly true of the Ko reans who have been converted to Christianity. The United States Will depend on these Christians to undermine communism Eilij.iI Jtwai.iuj 1 1 '.Hi niy m nm-luviti tmt - ' - ' ji--.hi Young rN Handsome k $ In F h .1 . f .1 O lib 4 When the Day's Work Is Done . .

The sisters, Vivian and Ros etta, did a sketch from their fa mous "Topsy and Eva" act and a "Toreador" number, as well as songs from the '20's, in their show at the Rogue Valley coun try club Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The hilarious Toreador num ber was good enough to bring applause but it was the old songs, the old timers like ' fle- membring and The Little Red Schoolhouse" with "I Nev er Had a Mammy" from the original "Topsy and Eva" that the audience really loved.

Gat Doatt a fajja iodarl seen the original "Topsy and Eva" act, and each night sev eral hands would go up. The act was introduced In San Fran cisco in 1923 and was a star theatrical routine for many years. In an interview Vivian Insist ed that the four Duncan chil dren were born In Loi Angeles, and that the family went to San Francisco whan aha was about 12. She further Insisted they had never lived In Jacksonville or Gold Hill ai the itory goes here. At least one family of Med ford end Jacksonville has fol lowed the Duncan career close ly, and the members of that family Insist tha Duncani lived on a ranch near Jacksonville and that the children went to both the Jacksonville and Oak Grove schools. Played Here "The Duncan sisters came back and played at the old Paige theater with the famed comedian, Raymond Hitchcock, in 1920." one of the localities recalled yesterday. "At that Tuesday. June 17. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIHX time it was common knowledge that the girls at one time lived here. The show was a great hit, and the program lists them play ing with Hitchcock who was the star. The program shows that the music and lyrics were written by Cole Porter. "Later tha sisters went to London, and the papers were full of their success over there, and our whole family followed their career. When the father died, the local papers stated that he had lived in Jackson county." But whether they did or did not live here, tha Duncans are still in show business and Viv ian said while here that they are considering the idea of working up a circuit to supply entertainers for country clubs. The sisters have a theatrical school in Burlingame, and think tha show circuit would serve a triple purpose; it would bring In a little money for young peo ple trying to make their way up in the entertainment world, would serve as a training ground for them, and would also supply entertainment acts for the clubs.

STORI iiiiannianrtHvr :jo a.m. rT,' tufit8UMito9P.M. v. thru All over the West, motorists are enjoying the money-saving protection of Richfield Rust-Proof gasoline. Since Rust-Proof gasoline was introduced a year ago, it has powered Western cars more than 5 billion miles. In your own car, that would be equal to driving 10,500 round-trips to the moon. Yet in all that time, Richfield has received not one single complaint of fuel system rust or corrosion. Rust-Proof gasoline owes its remarkable ability to stop rust to its amazing ingredient-RD-119. Rust and corrosion result from moisture that condenses daily in every car's fuel system. This moisture rusts and corrodes the gasoline tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and carburetor. The result is loss of power, poor performance, frequent re pairs and costly replacement of damaged parts. RD-119 makes moisture harmless. In new cars, rust and cor rosion can't get started. In other cars, rust and corrosion are stopped from doing further damage. You save money because you no longer have to pay for fuel pump and carburetor parts ruined by rust and corrosion. Your rust-free car runs better, delivers, more miles to the gallon. Engine tune-ups are not as frequent Enjoy this money-saving protection in your car. See your Richfield dealer regularly for Rust-Proof gasoline. Rust and corrosion ruined this fuel pump on a 1949 car! This fuel pump from a popular-make car was ruined by rust and corrosion in less than one year! The owner could have saved the trouble and ex pense of replacement by using Rust-Proof gasoline. Protected by Richfield Rust-Proof Gasoline This fuel pump-from exactly the same make and year of car as the one above-shows no sign of rust or corrosion after one year. Richfield Rust-Proof gasoline was used exclusively. iJchficld Hl-Octane f fi Mi"! 'ft Ul T? n R lid Is u Is nichf iold Ethyl D
