o Syngman Rhee Points To Secret Qf Productive Energy, Long Life o F(!itor' not: Th Rrpublic of K" r' SO-vrir-oM Presidfit Syngman Khcf Is one of the world's most con tru'ersial leaders. He could set off the packer kee to war in Korea at any time. Kisht now he has the Lnited Mau-s hesitins him to call of violent demonstrations that have inmred some 27 American soldiers. In the follow ing dispatch, written eMlnsivelv fur lnited Press, the white-haired states man philosophizes about life, olfers some advice and talks about the the people he hates most the Communists. By SYNGMAN RHEE Written for Umleo. V ress Cr-r.,,1 Knrra OJ.R) Living happily is not important in this workbof ours. What counts is to live constructively, to stand for the right, .and never surren der principles to expediency. Good health, mentally and physically, is the secret of any one's productive energy and long 3 lif I am fortunate in having a Oeoori wife who looks after my heafth so carefully that I have to Cive it very little thought my se'f r he idea of Greek tragedy othat the struggle is more impor tant than the victory contains a great deal vf truth. I do not agree with the ancient Greeks that man cannot triumph over his baser side, but I do believe wholeheartedly that there will becio victory unless he makes the struggle. Can Defeat Communism That is the problem we are facing in the world today. There are those who say the bat tle is not worth while, but it is better to put aside our ideals and settle for survival even though ft may be in chains. I cannot agree. 0 If we fight Communism with all that we have, we can defeat it and win through the just peace and plenty that we all want so Buteeven if we could not, I should prefer oblivion in the struggle to the sacrifice of every thing that we have gained in the thousands of years of our slow and painful climb out of bar barism. The happy life is the dedi cated life, provided that a man's corjjeience u approves that to which he is dedicated. The Com munists are not happy and can never be, because they know in their hearts that they are follow iga false and empty creed. But the man who fights for freedom and democracv is haDDv. because he knows that he has given him self to a righteous cause that is much greater than he is. Siud7 Moral Truths of Life My advice to aspiring young politicians and government of ficials is to study the great moral truths of life and try to live by them. The world is full of shrewd leaders who can win votes. But it is woefully short of those who never compromise with the right, who would sooner die than violate their trust, and who al ways put the interests of state and people above their own ambitions.

(U.R) The pepped up British team thinks it has its first "real chance since the war" to win the Wightman Cup tennis matches Saturday, but the American team remained a prohibitive favorite today for the annual feminine competition. "This is the first time since the war that we really have a chance," insisted Mary Halford, non-playing captain of the Brit ish team. "With all due respect to America's active tennis play ers, I believe our chances are much better because we do not have to face Maureen Connolly." Miss Connolly, the San Diego, Calif., blonde who reigned as world tennis queen until her retirement last summer, won Wightman Cup patches in straight sets in 1953 and 1954. But tennis experts believe the United States is virtually cer tain to win the Cup for the 19th straight time and the 23rd time in 27 clashes since 1923. Britain has not won the competition be tween the two nations since 1930 and has won only two of the 62 matches comprising the series played since World War II.
