Far East
Conference
Planni
WASHINGTON Ml A While
House gathcrir.f? of military ad
visers in advance of a visit from
Syugman Rhee today heralded a
series of conferences expected to
have an important bearing on U.S.
policy in the Communist-troubled
Par East.
Rhee, President of South Korea,
was due in Washington late today.
He begins talks with President
Eisenhower and other U.S. offi
cials tomorrow.
Several hours ahead of Rhee's
arrival, Eisenhower summoned to
a luncheon meeting Secretary ol
Defense Wilson and Adm. Arthur
Radford, chairmim of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Also invited was
retired Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
recently returned from a survey
of military assistance needs In the
Par East.
1 The meeting followed closely an
nouncement of tentative plans for
a conference in August or Septem
ber of Western and Asian nations
on formation of a Southeast Asia
defensive alliance.
From the views of the three ad
visers the President can assemble
the individual strategic and supply
requirement problems of Japan,
Korea, Formosa and the Philip
pines and start patterning them to
' those foreseen for the-; nations on
the southeastern flank of Asia if a
defensive alliance should be ob
tained. Rhee is likely to ask, according
to Seoul dispatches, for military
equipment and transport to equip
at least 10 and perhaps 20 more
divisions than the 20 South Korea
already has. Hq also is expected
to seek a boost in the rate of U.S.
economic aid, now running at 200
million dollars a year.
Eisenhower in turn is reported
planning to ask the fiery nationalist
to forget, at least for the time
being, his dream of Korean unifi
cation, and also to soften his atti
tude toward his old enemy Japan.
The new and strategically val
uable position of the Reds in North
ern Indochina Imposes a critical
factor in defense planning but of
ficials believe it will not adversely
affect the long-range, three-year
program for military assistance to
Korea, Japan, Formosa and the
Philippines.
At the Pentagon, it was said
that no change in money alloca'
tlons is contemplated under the
military assistance program for
this fiscal year.
Officials said a sudden cutback
now might 8larm nations which the
United States hopes to bring into
the Southeast Asia alliance. And
the fluid situation throughout the
area would make it militarily
unwise.
Beyond this there was the re.
cent news conference discussion
bv Wilson which indicated the pro.
gram for cutbacks in military
strength was being reviewed.
Rhee Predicts
Red Aggression
MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE,
Wash. President Syngman
Rhee of South Korea predicted last
light that Thailand "will be the
next victim" of Communist aggression.
The Korean President, stopping
at this western Washington air
base en route to an official visit
with President Eisenhower, de
scribed as "an unfortunate thing"
the manner in which the Indochina
action was settled.
It Is unfortunate that we have
let Indochina go," he told report
ers. "What more are we going to
lose?"
The Korean President landed aft
er a 22-hour flight from Seoul. He
was accompanied- by Mrs. Rhee
and a parly of 12.
When asked the purpose of his
trip to Washington, the 79-year-old
President said
"I would rather keep silent until
I have talked with President Ei
senhower. I'm quite sure we have
things to talk over."

Thome Death
Said Natural
CHICAGO lifl Mail order heir
Montgomery Ward Thorne died of
a lung disease probably pneu
monia, one of the four pathologists
assigned to a second post-mortem
reported yesterday.
The report of the pathologists
that the 20-year-oiu neir to
$2,600,000 fortune died of natural
causes will be given this week to
Coroner Walter E. McCarron. Tnc
medical expert who told this to
newsmen is Dr. Otto Saphir of the
University of Illinois.
The report probably will end the
official inquiry into Thome's
death. His shorts-clad "body was
found on the bed of his $75-a-month
apartment June 19.
Dr. Harry Leon, a coroner s
physician, noted puncture marks
on the arms and said death was
the result of a combination of al
cohol, barbiturates and an alka
loid possibly morphine and pos
sibly administered by someone
else.
Dr. Leon's findings were ques
tioned,' and the special group of
pathologists named to double-check
will report Dr. Leon "should have
arrived at the right answer 24
hours after the body was found,"
according to Dr. Saphir.
The panel said the quantities of
those substances found in the tis
sues were too . small . to cause
death.
