Korea Leaders 0ppose
u. Sired Withdrawal
By the Aksociofsd Press

SEOUL, Sept. 27.-Two South Ko-
rean political leaders predicted to-
day that withdrawal of American
and Russian occupation troops, sug-
gested yesterday by the Soviets
would result in civil war and COM
munization of the country.
The prediction came from two men
who claim to speak for thousands
of their countrymen-Dr. Syngman
Rhee, rightist, and Kimm Kui Sic
chairman of the South Korea In
terim Legislative Assembly.
Russian Col. Gen. Terenty Shti-
kov, Soviet delegate to the Joint
commission which failed in at.
tempts to prepare the way for a
provisional government for all of
Korea, proposed yesterday that oc-
cupation troops withdraw from Ko-
rea at the beginning of the year,
leaving Koreans to form their own
government.
Highly placed Americans speculat-
ed the suggestion was designed to
keep the Korean issue from coming
before the United Nations and pos
sibly indicated that the Russians
believed North Korea was ready
to try to install a Red government
for the whole country.
DR.. Rhee, who has urged in the
past that occupation troops with
draw, asked nervously during an
interview: How can the United
States step aside and let Russia
have its way?"
DR.. Rhee added that if America
had sense of moral obligation
it would not Withdraw.

u. 5. Official Reports
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 27.-The
once-great Manchurian seaport
of Dairen now is ruled by a
Chinese government which oper-
ates under the Russian mill
tary occupying the city, an
American official said today.
The first news in months from
the Yellow Sea port city was
brought by H. M. Bennington,
American consul general there,
who with his wife few in a Soviet
plane to Pyongyang, in Russian
occupied North Korea, and then
came here by train. Mrs. Benning-
hoff is undergoing treatment at an
Army hospital.
Mr.. Bennington said the Rus
slams selected Japanese speaking
Chinese to head the government in
Dairen and that other Chinese ac-
ceptable to the Soviets fill key posi-
tions. He would not say whether
the Chinese administration is Com
munist.
The Chinese government was to
take over civil administration of
Dairen, but the Russians have con-
tended this must await signing Of
the Japanese peace treaty.
Mr.. Bennington said Dairen's pop
ulation has tallen far below its for
mer figure Of more than 1000, 900.
Some 250,000 japanese have been
repatriated, he said, and many
Chinese repeatedly have moved into
Nationalist territory.
The Consul said there are four
Americans in Dairen: Vice Consul
Isaac Patch, jr., of Gloucester, Mass,
and his wife and daughter and c.
B. Kinney of Honolulu, who refused
repatriation because his Japanese
wife would not be permitted to ac-
company him.
Mr.. Bennington said American
property in Dairen consists prin-
cipally Of Standard and Texas Co.
oil installations, including storage
tanks. and can manufacturing
plants. The plants are not in use
"A ASAoo w. wiz
went to Dairen several months ago
left short time later, Mr.. Benning-
hoff related, when he was not al
lowed to assume control nor even
to inspect his company's facilities.
The port, which once handled
$4,000, 900 tons of cargo annually is
now used exclusively by Russian
vessels, including American built
Liberty ships, the consul went on.
He said from two to seven Russian
ships stop at Dairen each week, ap-
parently en- route to Port Arthur,
Russian naval base to the south, or
Vladivostok, Siberia.
There Is no rail traffic out of
Dairen to Mukden, but trains oper-
ate between Dairen and Russian
headquarters at Port Arthur, Mr..
Bennington said.
He had no complaint about Rus
sian treatment of Americans. He
said he was permitted to buy food
locally at imitation swollen prices
and to move freely within the city.
The Russians, he said, relayed his
coded messages over their commu-
nications system to the American
consul at Vladivostok.

China Still Wants Veto
In Peace Negotiations

PEIPING, Sept. 27. - Premier
Chang Chun said yesterday that
China was agreeable to the Amer
ican proposal for an 11-power con-
ference to write japanese peace
treaty, with two-thirds ma jority
prevailing. But that the Big Four
China, Russia, Britain and the
United States-all must be among
the majority. This would amount
to retention of the veto)
The Premier, speaking at Yen
ching University, said also that if
Russia refused to participate, China
might reconsider her position.
His speech was in line with rec
concentrations Of the Resident Com
mittec of the Peoples Political Coun-
ell at Nanking, which on Tuesday
insisted that the big nation veto
power be maintained in japanese
peace negotiations and that prelim-
mary talks by the Big Four should
be held before a general conference.
This conforms with the Russian
stand in rejecting the American bid
Tor preliminary ll-power peace
discussion.
The Chinese peoples Political
Council recommendation also in
cluded placing the Ryuku Islands
among them Okinswa-under Chi
neses trusteeship; completion of the
trial of japanese war criminals be-
fore conclusion of treaty; signing
of the treaty in China, and appor-
tionment of reparations according
to the time each power was at war
with Japan.
This last would heavily favor
China, which fought the Japanese
eight years, and would limit the
