(International) Rhee Marks 5th Anniversary Of Start of Korean War; Says Reds Gaining Ground BY ROBERT BROWN United Press Correspondent Seoul, Korea U.R) President Syngman Rhee said Saturday on the fifth anniversary of the start of the Korean War that the Communists are trying to win the world, by negotiation and are succeeding in some areas. It was five years ago yester day that North Korean troops poured across the 38th Parallel near Panmunjom in an act of aggression that brought instant denunciation by the free world and the United Nations into its first war. Most of the United States troops which fought in the three year war have returned home. Only two U.S. divisions remain on guard along the demilitarized zone separating the Communists and the anti-Communists. Koreans Fill Gap The Republic of Korea Army filled the gaps they left.

The United States Saturday deactivated its major port of Pusan. The supply job now will be handled directly by the re duced Eighth Army and the ROK Army. Both Peiping and North Korea marked the anniversary in radio broadcasts and called the armis tice which ended the struggle a "great victory." Rhee said the Communists won Eastern Europe at the Yalta Conference, they won control over North Korea in 1945 through a "secret agreement," they did the same thing in China partly through war but chiefly through deception and negotia tion, and got part of Indochina through negotiation. In Korea the Reds wob a compromise when an Allied victory was in sight. "Within the past several months they have been able to bluff to gain possession of sev eral of the strategic off-shore islands and they are working through shady diplomacy to un dermine free world support for Quemoy and Matsu," he said. Rhee said as a direct result of Western retreats the "vast dodu- lation of India, Burma and In donesia has already been de livered by its leaders into a posi tion of defenseless neutrality."

Reclamation Jobs Said Approaching Pork Barrel Status Chicago (U.R) The con struction of reclamation proj ects is moving further away from economic necessity and more in the direction of the political "pork barrel," a spokes man for the U.S. Commission on Intergovernmental R e 1 a tions said Saturday. - Addressing a National Land and Water Conference here, Dr. George C. Benson, research di rector for the commission, said the "pork barrel" tendency grows in relation to increasing percentage of costs borne by the federal government. Mora Stats Participation "The only way to remedy this situation is to insist on-larger financial participation in such projects by states and localities," Benson said. "In many cases, a very large percentage of the cost could come from state and local governments." Benson said federal activities have expanded on three fronts: Grants-in-aid, which require matching funds, made for pur poses ranging from old age as sistance to aids to agricultural marketing; Direct federal spending; And government control through the interstate commerce clause which has received "an amazingly generous interpreta tion in the last few decades." Recommended Granti Benson said the commission's agricultural sub-committee has recommended that soil conserva tion service work be financed on a grants-in-aid basis, rather than through the present direct fed eral expenditure. The commit tee also felt that soil conserva tion benefit payments should be made through states and lo calities, he said. Interior Department Under secretary Clarence A. Davis Fri day night addressed the confer ence, sponsored by the Ameri can Farm Bureau. He called for "an adequate survey of the whole water resources problem." In addition to his government post, Benson is president of the Claremont Man's College, Clare mont, Calif. Sunday.
