'New Look' in U. S. Dinlomacv :eivmq First Test in Korea By EARNEST HOBEHECHT mud Press Correspondent . TokyoUiR)A new look m United States diplomacy has Been launched in Asia and it Is getting its first test in Korea where American officials are, Putting their foot down in a dis-' Pute with a friendly nation. Reliable sources said the new attitude is that the United States docs not mind, being "Uncle Sam" or "Uncle Sugar" so long it doesn't go on being called "Uncle Sucker." As a first step, the United States has decided it will not be pushed around by the Koreans. Gen. John E. Hull, American Far East commander, met with stubborn Republic of Korea President Syngman Rhee in Seoul on Thursday. The top level conference was designed to settle "once and for all" the trouble that has developed be tween the United States and the ROK government. Exchange Rat Issue ' The immediate issua is wheth er the United States is going to get a "realistic" exchange Tate for its dollars in Korea or will be forced to buy Korean cur rency at a discriminatory rate. But the bigger issue is wheth J 'er the Americans and Koreans V ; can work together and whether the Koreans will meet .certain American requirements for granting about $700,000,000 in aid to the war torn nation. ' Many diplomats believe this is part of a. "more realistic" ap proach that the United States has been adopting in its dealings with friendly nations. One Western-dilomat told the United Cress he believed, on the basis of what he had seen, that America has reached these con clusions: 1. The United States cannot be the world's leader and still win a popularity contest. Even America's best friends are like ly to develop Jealousies. 2. The United States has fi nally come to realize it cannot buy love and respect. 3. Americans have discovered they relly nee"d "cooperation" from their allies rather than "lovu and kisses." 4. The United States is tired of seeing its allies threaten to "go Communist" whenever more American aid is not forthcom ing,. - ' v S. In the future, the American system will probably be to an nounce a goal and "invite" oth ers to go along. Aid and support probably will be given to those who desire to cooperate but there will be .no begging or pleading. Those who don't go along will be left to do the best they can on their own.

L : Sunday- October 14, 1854 MEDFORD (OREOOH) MAIL TRIBtJrTE THREE Game Commission Opposes Project on Illinois River Portland (U.R) The Oregon State .Game Commission expres sed no opposition to the Eugene Water and Electric Board's pro posed power development on the McKenzie river during its meet ing Friday, but the same group did voice vigorous disapprove to the Coos-Curry Electric Co operative's application for a hy droelectric project on the Illinois river. . The commission moved to file notice with the Federal Power Commission that It would oppose the Beaver Marsh project on the McKenzie only if certain sum mer flow and -fluctuation safe guards were not guaranteed. Under the Eugene Water and Electric Board's plans for devel opment of the Beaver Marsh site, dams would be placed at Fish lake, Clear lake outlet and on the McKenzie above Smith river. Fish lake and Clear lake would serve as power reservoirs and from Clear lake a tunnel would divert water to a turbine at Bea ver Marsh where the third dam would serve to re-regulate the river flow so it would be an even flow below that point. - Both the McKenzie -River Chamber of Commerce and the Save' the McKenzie association oppose ' the project because of feared damage to recreational and scenic values. The commission opposed the development of a hydroelectric project on the Illinois at Table mountain near Agness because of fears of serious damage to up stream migrations of steelhead and Chinook salmon. . The commission's fishery staff said the runs of migratory fish entering the Illinois would be falsely attracted to the Outflow from the power house located several miles below the dam and utDfclng the biggest share of the river flow. There would be no way of getting the fish past thii point, according to staff experts.
