for breaking a deadlock with Russia

"When the Russians realize our

will be easier to talk to-" Gen. Hodge
told newsmen at a National Press
Club luncheon yesterday.
He reported tremendous progress
toward democracy" in Korea, de-
claring that 1--WE have the oppor-
tunity to establish there the first

said, they have picked up and made
gleeful use of signs of internal dis
sention here over American policy.
He recalled that negotiations
through a Soviet-American joint
commission in Korea to unity the
Russian occupation zone in the
north and the American zone in
the south under a provisional gov
ernment, in accordance with 1945
Moscow agreement, broke down last
spring.
Gen. Hodge said the commission
never got beyond the question of
what Koreans should be consulted
in formation of the proposed gov
ernment. He insisted on freedom
Of expression for all Koreans, while
the Russians refused to consult with
any who objected to the Moscow
agreements f1ve-year trusteeship

Legislative Setup.
"They argued" he explained, that
the Moscow agreement was reached
by democratic nations; that it there
fore was democratic and anyone
who objected to it was undemo-
cratic"
In an effort to establish some
democratic government in the
American zone anyway, Gen. Hodge
set up a legislature in south Korea
last December He said its most
important task is to pass an elec-
ton law under which new legis-,
lature could be elected by the people.
Meanwhile. DR.. Syngman Rhee,
a Rightist Korean political leader
now in Washington, said in a state
ment that there is already unani-

mixture of fcrtilizing elements
Mrs. Pittman does these tests.
Crops grown by this method
never suffer from drought, poor
soil or weeds. No blowing is ne
ceSsary because no dirt is used.
The weeds can be killed between
crops by merely turning the
pumps off so no solution is furn-
ished to the beds.
Harvesting is more trouble in
hydroponics because plants bear
sooner, bear logger, and bear
more fruit. This makes for more
work-and more money. How
ever, the exact growth rate Of the
crop is always under the control
of the operator for by varying the
concentration of vital elements in
the solution he can retard growth
or emphasize either root or top
growth as he desires.
