probable rumors" reports circulated

A diplomatic source said "a routine

|CiviI War With Korea
Falling 10 Reds Seen
# Troops Withdraw
By the Assoeioted Press

SEOUL, Sept. 27.-Two top Ko-
rean leaders often at odds agreed
in alarm today that withdrawal of
American and Soviet occupation
forces would plunge Korea into
civil war ending in total communi-
Zation.
In separate interviews, the right
ist Dr. Syngman Rhee and the lib
eral Kim Kiu-sic urged that If the
United States contemplated with
drawal as suggested by the Rus
slams. it quickly organize, arm and
train a South Korean defense force
to meet what Kim called the Red
Lava" that was certain to pour down
from the Soviet northern zone
DR.. Rhee estimated such a force
could be formed in six weeks from
South Korean rightist youth groups.
200, 0,000- Man Army Reported.
North Korea has been unofficial1y
reported to have a 200. 0.000-man army
Russian trained and equipped. The
American zone has about $4,000
lightly equipped policemen, con-
stables and coast guardsmen.
The Russian chief delegate on
the joint American-Soviet Com
mission on Korea proposed yesterday
that both big powers pull out the
first of the year and let the Koreans
set up their own government, since
the occupation powers have been
unable to agree.
The United States has made no
reply, but American sources un-
officially have speculated that the
Russian proposal was intended
only as propaganda and that it
might mean the North Korean pup
pet regime now felt strong enough
to take over the country.
Urged Withdraw.
DR.. Rhee, who has no official
position but processes to speak for
thousands of rightists, previously
had urged withdrawal of occupa-
ton forces on the ground that
Koreans could better, solve their
own problems.
Today he asked, with evidence of
nervousness, how can the United
States step aside and let Russia have
her own way? If America has a
sense of moral obligation she will
not withdraw"
Kim, who is chairman of the
American-sponsored interim legis-
lature of South Korea, said, North
Koreans would sweep down like red
lava, cover Korea and end Korea s
own existence. Korea would be
driven into the Red sphere"
Russian Proposal Foreseen.
With a show of bitterness, Kim
added that he hoped "the United
States will be true to her interna-
tional commitments regarding Korea
at least for once
The Russian proposal had been
foreseen as a possibility by Ameri-
can officials, who are understood tc
have discussed 1t with Secretary OF
State Marshall.
There was no official American
comment, however, and there were
indications that reply might be
delayed until the United Nations
Assembly could take up the Korean
problem, which Gen. Marshall has
presented to it.

HOW OLD?-A newcomer t.
Wilmington from the Midwest
raised the rather delicate question
of 'just how old is Wilmington?''
He pointed out that relative to
the region he came from, his grand
father could tell him about wrest-
ing the land from the Indians.
Why his native state did not even
have statehood in the United States
when the Port City was more than
a century old, he added.
"Just a look at some of your
historic landmarks. here inspires
awe in me-" he said.
Many of them were old before
my section of the country got ac-
customed to seeing white men," he
continued.
And then he raised the No. l
question: Gust when was Whining
ton settled?"
FIRST IN LINE-About 1880
earlier settlers in the Lower Cape
Fear region established a small
community on the east side of the
river opposite the two main
branches of the famous stream.
Believing that the name was
important this tiny settlement was
called New Liverpool after the
famous British port.
