Until yesterday the Annamites
mad offered only shadow resistance

Their chief action had been to es-
tablish roadblocks by telling trees

Riot in Bucharest
By ths~Associated Press.

BY thewAssociated Press.
BUCHAREST, Nov. "a furious
six-hour riot between Communists
and supporters of Romanian King
Mihai was halted last night by the
intervention Of a Russian general
after at least five persons were killed
by gunfire and possibly 100 others
wounded.
Soviet Gen. Susaikov, head of the
Allied Control. Commission in
Bucharest, ordered troops of a
Romanian Communist division to
cease firing. Russian troops in the
capital took no part in the fight.
Violence broke out when troops
fired on $4,000 demonstrators who
ignored an order of the Soviet
sponsored government OF Premier
Petru Groza banning celebrations of
King Mihai's oath birthday.
Troops guarded the Royal Square,
scene of the rioting, last night, but
demonstrators continued to march
on the outskirts shouting Long
live the King" and Down with
terror"
The Groza government broad
cast a communique charging the
| disorders were "a blind for a revolu-
tionary plot directed against the
government" by Juliu Manu-, Peas
ant party leader, and George Bra
tianu, head of the Liberal party.
| First shots in the riot were fired
by unknown persons from the direc-
ton of the ministery of the interior,
facing the square. The fire was in
creased by troops guarding en-
frances to the square, although
there were reports that the officer
in charge ordered his men to fire
over the heads of the demonstra-
tors.

Russian Occupation

Questioned by Patrioi
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SEOUL, Korea, Oct. 20. An
unscheduled address sharply ques-
tioning Russian occupation of Nor
thern Korea injected politics to-
day into a gala celebration of this
country's liberation from Japan.
The speaker was DR.. Synman
Rhee, former president" of the
so-called provisional Korean gov
ernment.
To about $4,000 compatriots
massed in front of the governor
generals building, DR.. Rhee-un-
listed on the official program of
orators for the day-vehemently de-
clared:
I'VE remained unconquered and
undivided through all the years of
Japaneses oppression. We shall re-
main so. We shall fight to remain
SO at the cost of our very lives. The
Allied powers might as well know
this now"
The great throng massed before
the building-the gates of which
were guarded by American soldiers
-cheered as the loud-speakers
echoed DR.. Rhee's defiance.
The 70-year-old patriot, who re-
turned to Korea Tuesday after 80
years in exile, was introduced by
1t. Gen. John R. Hodge. He came
here from Washington.

There is one question I cannot
answer. 1t is asked of me con-
stantly: What program is the 38th
parallel part Of?
as the United States Govern
ment cooperating with the army
that occupies the northern half of
Korea? Is the military government
cooperating with that army? Is
that Army in the north going to re-
main there permanently?
Il cannot answer that. Neither
can Gen. Macarthur nor Gen
Hodge nor Gen. Arnold. When ]
saw Gen. Macarthur in Tokyo the
first question he asked me was
Who started this 38th parallel di-
vision of KoreaT
There must be somebody who
can answer this question and it has
to be answered"
