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.

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."
Portland Due for Smog
In Autumn, Expert Says
Portland (U.R) Portland,
like Los Angeles, is due for a
series of smoggy autumns, ac

chief of the state air pollution

The Dalles Death
Ends Safely Mark
The Dalles (U.R) Eighty-year-old
Mrs. Frankie T. Toby
of The Dalles was mortally in
jured here Friday night in the
city's first fatal accident in seven
months.
The woman' was a passenger
in a car driven by her daughter,
Mrs. Dorothy Crawford, The

the side of a two-and-a-half-ton
truck loaded with hay. Police
said the victim was apparently
thrown from the car when it
collided with the truck. The ac
cident occurred inside the east
ern city limits of The Dalles.
The mishap was the first fatal
accident in The Dalles since last
November. Previous to that, the
city had gone 41 months without
a highway fatality."
Friday's accident occurred on

Automobile association announ
ced it had awarded The Dalles
a pedestrian safety award for
passing 1954 without a pedes
trian fatality. No pedestrian has
been killed here since 1950.
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.

Red Jets Hot Shown In Swiss Displays
Geneva, Switzerland (U.R)
Red-faced officials of Switzer
land's International Air show
admitted Saturday the erred in
announcing that the Soviet
Union would participate in the
two-day display of jet age avia
tion here.
The prospect of seeing Soviet
planes in closeup competition
with American Sabrejets and
British Hawker Hunters has
promised to draw record crowds
to the show, which opened yesterday.
But tht organizers admitted
that last week's announcement
that Soviet planet would take
part just wasn't true. The Soviet
acceptance of a Swiss invitation
did not mention planet, they
said. It said only that a Soviet
delegation would be along to
take a look at the other exhibits.
Last week's announcement
was blamed on a translator'! error.
