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.

Semi-Finals
In Newport
Net Meet
Newport, R. I. :U.R) Top
seeded Hamilton Richardson of
Baton Rouge, La., lays his court
mastery on the line today in a
vital semi-final singles match
with unrated Bob Wilson of
England in the 74th Invitation
tennis tournament at the New
port Casino.
Herb Flam of Beverly Hills,
Calif., and Japan's Atsushi Mi
yagi will play their semi-final
match Saturday.
Richardson moved into the
semi-finals Thursday by defeat
ing fifth-seeded Straight Clark of
Philadelphia in a three-out-of-five
contest, 6-2, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.
Miyagi experienced little dif
ficulty in eliminating Austra
lia's Malcolm Anderson, the
fifth foreign seed, 3-6, 6-1, 9-7,
6-4.
Flam, fourth-rated among the
domestic entries, came from be
hind to beat temperamental too
seeded Kurt Nielsen of Den
mark, 4-6. 6-1, 11-9, 6-4. Nielsen
won the first set, then complain
ed that 11 a.m. was too early in
the morning for him to play.

British Net
Team Has
Cup Chance
Rye, N. Y. (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.
Still facing the Britons are
such famed stars as Wimbledon
champion Louise Brough of Bev
erly Hills, Calif., who has won
seven matches in this series, and
U. S. champion Doris Hart of
Coral Gables, Fla..
Glendale, BF

Falls, with six wins and four
losses, finished in second place.
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
Five Hope
To Break
Mile Mark
London U.R) Five British
and Hungarian track stars capa
ble of running the mile under
four minutes including two
who already have done it clash
today in a mass attempt to smash
John Landy's 3:58 record for the
mile.
Red - haired, cigar - smoking
Chris Chataway of England and
surprising Laszlo Tabori of Hun
gary were the already-proven
four-minute milers entered in
the big event of the first day
of a long-awaited dual meet be
tween stars of the two nations.
But Sandor Iharos and Ista
van Rozsavolgyi of Hungary and
Ken Wood of England also are
rated capable of bettering the
four-minute mark that stood as
a barrier to the world's runners
for so many years until Britain's
Roger Bannister smashed
through it last year. Bannister,
now retired, is not in this meet.
Iharos. 22-year old Hungarian
army lienutenant who has crack
ed three world's records this
year, was the hot favorite to win
the big race. He proved his
good form in his last start when
he smashed the record for the
1.500 meter run, the so-called
"Metric Mile," by clocking
3:40.8 at Helsinki, Finland. Julv
28. The "Metric Mile" record,
like the 3:58 standard for the
mile, had been held by Landy
of Australia.
In addition, Iharos set world
records this year of 7:55.6 for
3,000 meters and 8:33.4 for two
miles.

293 to defeat defending

Ohio, by one stroke. Wearley

Wearley's one-under-par final
round included an eagle three
on the 12th and two birdies as
he moved past Bill Smith of
Phoenix, Ariz., into the second
spot. Smith, second by three
strokes going into yesterday's
round and six strokes ahead
Wearley, also had a poor 78 for
295.
