.5 Korean Riots Recall Days ol Americans at War By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor ' Blood has been lowing again in the street ol long suffering Seoul, Korea. It was KO' til reari blood this time, but only 10 years ago, American blood was flowing there, too, in the free world's first concerted armed action Pbii NetvMm against the Communists. Names famous in military annals were gaining more luster. Here, Col. Lewis B. (Chesty) -uuer lea tne U.S. 1st Ma- rmts up from Kimpo Airport to neip secure the city in bitter street fighting after the American landing at Inchon on sept, is, 1850. Not far from President 5 y n g m a n Rhee's official Kyung Mu-dae, residence In me lasnionable western sec tor of the city, Col. John Michaelis and his headquar ters awaited the next on ward rush of the North Kore an and Chinese Communists. Both Became Generals Out of the fighting, both Puller and Michaelis were to win their general's stars. In the ruined capitol build ing, after the city was se cured, memorial services were held.

Farther on was Kimpo Airport where the wounded were flown out and still farther on, Mtmsan-ni and Panmunjom where the peace talks were to be held. All these are among the memories left by the Korean War. It was fought to help re store to the Koreans a land which had been theirs only a few out of the last 50 years, and to restore freedom recog nized by the United Nations as their right. The United States has been the Republic of Korea's great est champion. But this week, as anti - government rioting spread through Seoul and oth er Korean cities, the United States expressed concern to Korea's aged' and obstinate Syngman Rhee. It hoped the government would take Into account "bas ic causes and grievances be hind the disorders."
