0 G Wednesday, August 17, 1933 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIK1 O Syngman Rhee Apparently Will Win Fight To Get Truce Team Out of Korea Dulles' Statement Shows Armistice flay Be Defied By UNITED PRESS Syngman Rhee apparently Is flying to win his fight to get the tJnited) Nations truce teams out South Korea. But it will take a little time, (Slid it may be Rhee's last polit ltfal victory. Secretary of State Dulles tinted that the United States will the Communists and the terms of the Geneva Armistice and side with Rhee when he said the truce teams may be rving an evil purpose in South Korea. Dulles hinted that the United Spates would agree to moves to nXirbO the teams' activities at once. That would bottle up the Polish and Czechoslovak mem bers of the teams, whom the Iiuq Koreans call Red spies. r Miahl Renew Prooosal Then a little later, the Swiss and Swedish members might re rew their proposal of last March Uthat the truce teams be dis banded. The Swiss and Swedes Qiight singly decide tocgo home. That would leave the Czechoslo vaks and Poles alone in South Korea and would give the United States solid grounds for allow ing Rhee to expel them. .r-Jlhee has been so insistent on petting the truce teams out of South Korea that he has stirred ij a hornet's nest with the dem onstrations against American military bases where the teams are quartered. Rhee has used the truce team i.isue to dramatize his demand that the United States back him in renewing the war in an at tempt to unify Korea by force. Perhaps, the elderly president Mally believes in the possibility of such a war that once in it, the United States would have w go all the way 'to the Yalu river this time, even if it meant a big air-sea war with Red China. May Reflect Fruitration But soberer heads say Rhee's fljijry attitude may reflect only his frustration both over his in ability to unite Korea by force arid over the economic difficul ties which beset his government ahome. - - For in spite of $1,000,000,000 dearth of American help since Kgte Korean war, South Korea still is in serious economic trou bles. The inflation is getting i5rse. A new official rate for jOK currency has just been set l 500 hwan to the dollar against ie old rate of 180. TheOcauses of South Korea's Konomic troubles are varied and fjre the subject of bitter disputes fctweei Rhee and , the United Slates. For one thing, there is a con troversy over foreign trade and EidUstrialization. Korea's econ gW used to depend largely on porting rice and Japan was vie best customer for the rice, tft S. Doesn't Need Rice But Rhee's government hates W do business with the Japanese. Instead it wants to buy heavy machinery from the United S&ites and industrialize rapidly. ut the United States has no need for Korean rice. So South K rare a is said to have on hand a three year's surplus of rice which she reftises to sell to Japan for consumer goods. CJhe Reds are using the truce team row as an excuse to needle e&iee and Washington with re newed proposals for an interna tional conference to United Ko rea. In fact, President Kim II Swjsg of North Korea proposed direct talks with Rhee. These Red proposals look like window-dressing to most of the world. They haven't a chance of ng accepted. But they are daggers thrust at R!ee. They remind him sharply that one result of the recent sum mit conference at Geneva is that all plans for settling Asiatic problems by force are out. Witness To Scan Lineup In Slaying of 60 Scout QMuskegon, Mich. (U.R) A "positive witness" was sched uled to view a lineup of officials of Boy Scout Camp Wabaningo noday.

Chick Hatchings Behind '54 Level Washington (U.R) In Janu ary, chick hatchings were 21 per cent behind the 1954 level. But for the January through July period, the gap is only nine per cent, according to the Depart ment of Agriculture. Production of turkey poults is running behind the 1954 level for the first seven months of the year, down about two per cent for heavy breeds. It would have been down more except for extremely large July production. The number of heavy breed turkey poults hatched last month jumped to more than 1,900,000 ... up more than one third from the same month a year ago. Production of light breed poults fell to a total of 2,200,000 . . . down 10 per cent from July, 1954. And for the first seven months of the year, 1955 output of light breed poults is down 25 per cent. With supplies down, turkey growers can expect better prices this year. But chicken producers have been warned often during the last few months that heavy stocks may push their prices down. . The agriculture department's report on cold storage stocks in dicates supplies are backing up in warehouses. Gallagher Case May Be Ready for Court Verdict New York (U.R) The case of Sgt. James Gallagher, Brooklyn, New York, may go to an eight man court late today for a ver dict. Gallagher is charged with the murder of three fellow prisoners and aiding the enemy while a prisoner of war in Korea. So far, the 23-year-old soldier as denied all accusations. He has only admitted that he was con sidered, as he put it, the "worst guy" is the prison camp. Fiber Board May 4 Be Atomic Defense Madison, Wis. (U.R) USDAs Forest Products laboratory has developed a new board product for atomic defense. It's a cheap wood fiber buil ding board which looks just like ordinary fiber board. But chem icals added to the fiber will filt er out poisonous gas and the ra dioactive fall-out from an atomic or hydrogen blast. The new product is called "dif fusion board." USDA spokesmen said it will put atomic protec tion within everybody's reach when it becomes available in large volume. Only small amounts of the new board are being made now, and the supply is going to mili tary authorities for testing. Competition Stiff For Cotton Growers Washington (U.R) American cotton pickers face stiffer com petition on the world market during the coming year. That forecast came from the international cotton advisory committee, reporting that pro duction in other cotton exporting countries is up again this year. The committee said export prospects should be good with mill demand in most countries expected to remain at a high level. Stocks in the importing countries are at the lowest levels since these nations recovered from the effects of World War II. American production will be down from last year's level, al though total cotton stocks in this country are high. And the inter national cotton committee be lieves there'll be another new record set in other cotton grow ing countries. The new Mexican crop is esti mated at 2.200,000 bales . .. up 400,000 bales. While American growers have been cutting their cotton acreage back, plantings are up this season in Egypt, Tur key. Syria, Pakistan and Greece. The cotton committee said the outlook for cotton consumption around the free world is good. And the group believes produc tion will be closer to consump tion than it's been in the last few years.
