Brownout in Korea
CNew York Times


 Whatever else may be said of the policy ot Soviet 3ussia it is consistent. Ever since the Red Army moved into Korea after the collapse and surrender o Japan in 1945 Soviet policy in that unhappy small country has been one of obstruction of all efforts at ,eunfication on a peaceful basis. That now has been
 maxed by the shutting off of electrical power rom he Soviet zone of occupation in the north to the United States zone of occupation in the south Ihat he Soviets did it through the mouth of the Nor,h Korean Government they set up is subteliuge tiiae fools no one Soviet Russia still IS the occupying bower north of the Thirty eighth Parallel ana IS iuy esponsble for what takes place there as the uhteo States is responsible for that part of the country that lies below the line It is of piece With the naraSsihs tactics the Soviet Government has used agalAst the other occupying powers in Berlin and Vienna.
 United States floating power plants that we're developed during the war are now being useo' anu ,an be added to- to provide an alternative suppy o electricity for South Korea but 1t IS an expensive method for us and that should be unnecessary. We believe this also will be plain to the Korean peope' both south and north of the dividing inc IL IS urtne evidence of just who their friends and who are their enemies Perhaps it will even convince some or South Korea's misguided former leaders who nave seemed to feel that they could get along Wltn the Soviet if the United States would just get out Some day they may become convinced that the only way to do that under present Soviet policy is complete sur rende

Most Stocks Ease
As Profit Cashinq
Follows Advance
By Victor Eubonk

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market today finished its nth
straight recovery week with most
leaders skidding moderately on light
profit cashing.
While scattered privotals managed
to keep we'll on the upside in the
final proceedings. declines of frac-
tions to a point or more predom-
mated at the close.
Dealings remained relatively ac-
tive and volume of $4,000 shares
was the second largest this year for
Saturday. 1t compared with $4,000
week ago. The 6-day aggregate
was 7,378,310 shares against 6,472,-
920 the week before and was top
for any like period since that con-
cluded last October 25.
Bullish operations from Monday
on were predicated mainly on the
inflationary aspects Of big-scale de-
fense spending, European relief out
lays and tax reductions.
The lengthy drive, however, at
tracted offerings on the thought that
a technical correction was overdue.
Settlement of the coal walkout was
helpful but, 1t was suggested, this
may have been dismounted. Nu-
merous customers held aloof to
await results of the Sunday-Mon-
day italian elections.
