Rhee’s Attempts to Qovern
North Korea Are Uncalled For
A situation is developing in North Ko-
rea that demands a speedy solution by the
United Nations. Synjrman Rhee, South
Korean president, has begun appointing
local administrators in captured North Ko-
rean communities.
This is, of course, in flat defiance of
United Nations edict, which gave to Gen-
eral MacArthur the job of civil administra-
tion in conquered territory.
Rhee has even gone so far as to de-
clare that theUN is “sabotaging” Korean
interests by its proposals. This sounds a
little forgetful. Where would Mr. Rhee
have been by now without'the gallant aid
of UN military forces in saving South Ko-
rea?
The UN plan for the government of
North Korea seems to be perfectly in ord-
er. It is usually the custom to entrust to
the military the job of civil administration
in conquered lands in the unsettled period-
directly following combat. Then, when
order has been thoroughly restored and
life is functioning on a nearly normal
peacetime basis; the people are given an
opportunity to vote for their own govern-,
ing" representatives, from the local level
on up.
If the UN plan can be carried out, fair
elections undoubtedly will be held in
North Korea at the earliest possible mo-
ment. There seems no need for new elec-
tions Iff South Korea, since satisfactory
balloting was conducted there not too long
ago.
This arrangement ought to be emi-
nently suitable to Rhee. His insistence on
going ahead on his own at this time is an
arbitrary and arrogant action wholly out
of keeping with the UN spirit in which the
Republic of Korea was nurtured.
To be sure, the UN does recognize the
South Korean government as the author-
ity for all of Korea—and has ever since
the first elections were held. But that
gov* rnisent was virtually a creature of the
UN. and so now is the part of Korea being
liberated from the Communists by UN
forces.
Khee's haste to .establish his own rep-
resentatives in North Korean towns and
cities is unseemly and cannot help but cast
doubt on the essential honesty of his mo-
tives.
It has been the fashion of the free
world in the 20th century to win wars
nobly but then lose the subsequent peace
ignobly. The statesmen of free nations all
too often have seemed inadequate to the
task of settling the political problems
which come in the train of conflict. ...
Rhee’s stop into North Korea is the
first political consequence of the grow-
ing UN military victory on the peninsula.
Unless the UN acts swiftly to solve this
administrative issue one way or another,
a confused situation is certain to follow.
Then people will begin to say it .might
have been better had we let the Reds over-
run South Korea and wipe out Rhee’s gov-
ernment.
No one who understands the Russian
menace could really desire that. But in
their disgust at a deteriorated political
set-up there, some
Red rule the lesser
Korea was a milestone in one sense
cause our action in speeding to its military
defense showed a boldness and courage
the would had been crying for. It can be
a milestone in still another way if we now
proceed to demonstrate that we no
intend to succumb to the politics
derment which so often marks the after-
math of war.

Letter From Washington by jane eads, *.p. staff writer
by FRANK CAREY
(For Jane Eads)
Washington.—A Washington doctor says hope
is justified that, with intensive research,1 a satis-
factory chemical treatment for high blood pres-
sure "may not be long in forthcoming."
Pr. Edward I>. FreLs of Georgetown Uni-
versity Medical Center declares this hope i- based
on the' fact that extracts of an herb called "vera-
trum viride” have shown ability to lower an ele-
vated blood pressure "at least for short periods
without harmful effects.” .
He points out that there are all grades of se-
verity of high blood pressure and^that fortunate-
ly. among the many people who have it, the ma-
jority do not suffer from the severe variety. Thus
“there are only occasional cases in which the need
for reducing the blood pressure is urgent.”
But, Pr. Freis told the District of Columbia
Medical Society, at present there is “no truly sat-
isfactory" treatment for high blood pressure.
Special diets low in salt content and certain
nerve-surgery procedures are among the methods
employed, but they are only “occasionally helpful,
he said. A satisfactory chemical method of attack
has long been sought.
Freis emphasized that extracts of veratrum
rivide may not themselves provide the ans>#er to
the problem. In fact, he added, the herb “is no
world beater” in this particular field.
But he declared that certain effects observed
with its use have pointed up the possibilities of
chemical attack and established hope that contin-
ued, intensive research may produce better chem-
icals. „ »
Freds said: “These extracts lower blood pres-
sure, but they also produce disturbing .side reac-
tions such as nausea, vomiting and at times com-
pjet<* gollapse. For this reason they usually can
be used to advantage only in the most advanced
cases, where a reduction of blood pressure is neces-
sary to sustain life.
“It is still too early to say whether these drugs
prolong the lives of these severe rases. They cer-
tainly do not cure the disease.”

The city of Kilgore was named
for “Buck” Kilgore, a colorful
member of Congress many years
ago. Champ Clark, who was
Speaker of the House before and 1
during World Wor I, tells in his
autobiography of the celebrated
incident of a door being smashed
by the Texan.
Speaker Reed had all the exits
locked so as to hold a quorum,
but Kilgore kicked down a door.
Clark chronicles, “He attained un-
iversal notoriety and immense
popularity”, adding that Kilgore’s
name was “fastened to a certain
kind of shoe, designed especially
for kicking and whicli was, for a
time, immensely popular.”
Kilgore also made quite a rep-
utation as an objector.
He relished this story on him-
stdf:
“When I returned home to be-
gin the canvass for my third term |
in Congress, which was a decide- j
dly lively one, I asked one of my |
chief bell-wethers what my enem-
ies were charging me with this
time. “Oh,” he replied,“just the
same old charge—that of being a
plain d___fool.”
“His report was short and, if
not sweet, was at least suffici-
ently comprehensive.”
A Texas Congressman, accord-
ing to Clark, in debate once gen-
erously offered to perform a sur-
gical operation, free of charge,
on the jugular vien of his oppo-
nent with a Bowie knife.
And though Joe Bailey was a
great orator and brilliant debater,
he was once set hack on his heel3
in Congress. It was about 1900,
Bailey, in the course of a speech,
quoted Lincoln. Congressman Jon-
athan P. Doiliver of Iowa inter-
posed, “I congratulate the Demo-
crats on having attained, at the
end of the century, the position
occupied by the Republicans in
the middle of the century."
A United States Senator once
said, "The first month, I was there,
I wandered how I ever broke in—
and, ever since, I have been won-
dering how the rest of them
broke in.”

worry about this one. It’ll carry
itself along’.”
Complete stinkers, he feels, are
comparatively few. Even pictures
which don’t appeal to one type
of moviegoer will to another. And
exploitation should be aimed ac-
cordingly.
Reagan was anything but sleepv
on the “Bedtime for Bonzo” set.
In wide-awake fashion, he was
saying: “The only thing wrong
with the box office is that we’re
not selling pictures.”
He picked up a trade magazine
and cited grosses on “Louisa."
Returns were 10 per cent above
average in one city and 55 per
cent in another where Ronald and
other stars of the picture had ap-
j peared at its opening. He didn’t
l mean the stars of every picture
j should go trapsing around the land
I with the film. “Maybe a contest,
! some gimmick.”
Reagan thinks it’s a big mis-
! take to aim advertising at habit-
1 ual moviegoers. “We’ve neglect-
! ed a vast potential audience that
ha* gotten out of the habit of
going. It's conservatively esti-
mated that 65,000,000 adults are
not going to movies."
It’s primarily the exhibitor's
problem, Ronald thinks. In one

Changing World Conditions
Alter Swiss Defense Planning
BY PETER EPSON ,
NEA Washington Correspondent
nERNE, SWITZERLAND—(NEA)—Few people realize it, but the
^ biggest “army" in Western Europe today belongs to the Swiss. It
is not the strongest army, perhaps, in terms of tanks and planes. But
it has 500,000 trained men and it is a factor to be reckoned with in
any appraisal of the European military situation.
The Swiss have had compulsory military service for years, frjot all
their army is in uniform or on duty at all times. But after two years
of active training and duty as a young man, every uble-bodied Swiss
does his three weeks of active training every year.
What’s more, every Swiss male keeps his uniform, pack and army
rifle at his home. If a general mobilization call went out by radio,
every man would drop whatever he was doing and go to his assigned
post.
Switzerland’s military policy has always been armed neutrality.
Armed strength has enabled Switzerland to stay out of the last two
world wars.
But no Swiss that this correspondent talked to on a quick trip across
the little republic thought that Switzerland would be able to stayflft
the next war. 1^*
General acceptance of this belief has resulted in a complete change
of plans. This was revealed first by the Swiss government’s official
suggestion of last spring, that all Swiss families should lay in a reserve
supply of food.
YV/T1EN the Soviet offensive broke instead in Korea, two months later,
" many Swiss are believed to have sighed with relief and begun
to eat up some of their stockpiles.
The recent announcement by the Swiss minister of defense, calling
for near-doubling of the Swiss military budget, has changed the
picture again. The Swiss now see that they must have more planes,:
tanks and heavier weapons to repel armored attacks.
Traditional Swiss strategy has been that if attacked, the Swiss armies
would fight delaying actions in the rolling country of the north, then i
fall back to their mountain defense lines. They believed that in the
mountains they could fight off any and all aggressors.
Fighting a strictly mountain warfare, however, would mean that
Switzerland would have to surrender her rich industrial areas. So
now the Swiss thinking seems to be that if attacked from the north or
east—from the direction of Germany or Austria—the Swiss would try
to hold their whole country.
What this new turn of events may have done is to give Switzerland
an entirely new importance in the military defense of western Europe, i
It can no longer be counted out as a neutral. But it is still not Inte-
grated into western European defense plans.
Switzerland is a participant in the Marshall Plan for the economic
recovery of western Europe. It has received and It has asked for no
U. S. dollar aid. It has, on the other hand, extended an estimated
§500 million worth of credits to other Marshall Plan countries.
WRINGING Switzerland into the North Atlantic Pact planning would
prove equally salutary. Maybe the Swiss don’t want that. They
won't even talk about it now. The Swiss want to stay out of other
people’s wars. They have always believed that, as the seat of the
International Red Cross, they tan be more effective in preserving
peace by staying out of such wars, aiding prisoners on both sides,
acting as an intermediary between belligerents. i
In the last war, the Swiss gave valuable service by looking af
the welfare of Allied soldiers held prisoner in Germany. With th»
Russians, the Swiss were less effective. In the Korean war, the Inter-
national Red Cross has been able to do nothing in North Korea. j
So the picture is changing, and the average well-informed Swiss
knows it. There is no question which side of a coming conflict Switzer-^
land would be on. It is the bulwark of capitalism in Europe.
