Attorney for Service
Expects TO Obtain
Department Records
fFrom Yesterdays Last Edition


John S. Services attorney said
today he expects the State. De-
partment to provide him with
copies of some of Mr.. Services
own records for use in rebutting
charges that Mr.. Service is pro-
Communist
Mr.. Service, veteran foreign
service officer. is one of those
under attack by Senator McCar-
thy. Republican, Of Wisconsin in
connection with the Senator's
charges of Communist infiltration
into the State Department.
He was ordered back from an
assignment to India q few weeks
ago for a rehearing before the
State Departments loyalty board.
Asks for Records.
Charles E. Rhetts, Mr.. Services
attorney, said he had asked the
State Department for copies of
reports and memoranda prepared
by Mr.. Service over a long period
of time so as to establish by the
most objective means possible"
before the loyalty board hearing
exactly what line Mr.. Service had
followed. -s
While copies of his own reports
are available to Mr.. Service with
out. question, they will have to
be declassified for examination
by his attorney, Mr.. Rhetts pointed
out. He said department officials
had agreed to try to locate the
files and declassify as many of
these documents as possible.
Seeks No Confidential Papers.
He emphasized that he was not
seeking any loyalty or personnel
reports. These are closed to
all outsiders and have been re-
fused to a Senate investigating
subcommittee.
Mr.. Rhetts said the only type
of documents, in addition to cop
les of Mr.. Services own writings,
that he is seeking from the State
Department are copies Of letters
of commendation which Mr.. Serv-
ice has received from superiors.
The originals received by Mr..
Service are not available to him
now because they are packed
among his personal effects shipped
to India. Mr.. Rhetts pointed out.
Conrad E. Snow, chairman of
the State Departments Loyalty
Security Board, emphasized Mr..
Service was not being given any
''illegitimate advantage" regarding
access to papers in department
files.
"Mr. Service has not been given
and will not be given access to the
loyalty or personnel files j..
which were refused by the Presi-
dent to the Senate committee.
Elementary Fairness"
"Mr. Service is entitled, how
ever. as a matter of elementary
fairness, to see and put in evi-
dence any reports or other papers
in the files of the State Depart
ment which were prepared by him
or in connection with the missions
on which he served, which may
be material to his defense. Action
by the Department of State Is
necessary to permit him to show
them to counsel"
Mr.. Shows comment came in a
letter to the editor of the New
York Herald Tribune, complaining
about the headlines over two
stories concerning the Service case
in that paper this week. Mr.. Snow
said the inference from the Herald
Tribune headlines is that the 10y
atty board lis either not going for
ward with the hearing on the case.
or is giving Mr.. Services counsel
some unfair or illegitimate advan-
tage." He added that neither of
these inferences is justified by the
facts"

This week Americans celebrated :" Am an Aneri- can Day. or, as it is sometimes called, CtzenshP Day." It is day set aside to welcome new citizens into the American way of lNing and also day m which we, who have always been citizens, recognize the rights and privileges that ours as citizens ot the United States of Anerco~
 It also apparently is day of which the territorial board of administration has never heard, or at least one which its members fail to recognize We're sure tbut they were conscious of the full meaning and the complete responsibility of American citizenship, they would never have set in motion the dctdtorio and un- democratic actions of which they have been guilty in the past few weeks.
 It's supposed to be something that couldn't hap pen in Anercd-the will of the few imposed on the majority without thought or feeling tor the wishes ot thot majority It's the popular opinion that in America such matters of major policy are decided by vote of the people.
 We've always felt, here in America, that when we elected leaders to office those leaders were morally @boud to represent the wishes of the voters who placed them in office It's basic principle ot AnerlcunIsm, we thouqht-in short the American way ot lite, thIs principle of majority rule. It's the one reason most ot US are particularly proud to feel we're Americans because the very name American suggests to us thot we're all a part of a whole which ourselves have helped create.
 Yet when q fve-non territorial board, four of whom make their homes in the same Alaskan city, can arbitrarily overrue the wishes of legislative body thot 
 stroyed long way from the principles that "l Am an American Day. are supposed to express and bring home to us.
 We refer, of course, to the board of odministro- tons recent decision in the face of expressed egis otive disopprovoI to construct territorial office buiIdnq in Juneau. "The new capitol" southeastern papers are tenong it, and in effect that is what will be- for Aluskuns not rich enough to finance the construction of buildings that cost than million doIurs unless there's to be degree of permonence about their use and location.
 That the boards action is arbitrary and not the will of the people is plain When the bill outhorzine the appropriation of $66O 900 land not the ,2oO.- 900 it's now grown to bel for construction of terri toroI office building passed the house of representa- tves it forwarded to the board of administration with house directive that the building be located "north of the Gulf of Alaska"
 The boards action is undennocrotic and dictotorio in still another respect They're spending our money yours and nnne-$oO 900 of it, to buy land for the buildings site in Juneau. Yet there are several cities in the Third Dvision Palmer among them which have offered free land for this building. We're certainly not having much of voice in the matter ot how our money is being spent, in respect to this building.

North Korean Chief
Calls Yanks Inhuman
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Sunday, July 9.-North
Korea's premier and commander
in chief. Kim II Sung, in a propa-
ganda broadcast last night
charged Americans with inhuman
and wanton attacks on innocent
people and peaceful cities and
villages"
The broadcast was heard in
Tokyo, as was another by the
Moscow radio which said the
North Korean regime had enacted
a land reform" program for
South Korea.
1t said the reform was based on
confiscation of land without COM
pensation and it's free distribution
to landless peasants.
The Moscow broadcast, by the
official Russian Tass news agency,
also said 100000 person in Red
held Seoul held a mass meeting
to protest "the barbarous bombing
by Americans of liberated areas
and peaceful Korean towns"
A North Korean communique
broadcast alleged that fresh at
tacks on American positions in
South Korea had netted many
prisoners and large quantities OF
military booty.
Evening star., 1950-07-09

The council recommended that
u. N. members providing military
forces for the Korean fight should
make them available to a unified
command under the United States
The council resolution then
asked that this country appoint a
commander. In addition, the re-
solution authorized the unified
command to use the United Ma
tion's flag.
Therefore, the President said
he was naming Gen. Macarthur,
already in fact exercising an in
ternational command in the Far
East. to fill the position proposed
by the United Nations.
Gen. MacArthur's appointment
does not change the situation in
the military field at all. AS
American supreme commander he
had already been designated by
other cooperating countries to
direct their forces.
Diplomatic authorities said,
however, that yesterdays action
should make clear throughout the
vast regions of Asia, where West
ern imperialism is still feared,
that this is U. N. fight and not
a United States fight. 1t empha-
sizes that the aim of this Gov
ernment is not Imperialism but
fulfillment of the u. N. Charter
guarantee as applied to South
Korea's independence and right
to peace.

Wounds, never pleasant. seem to
pain more deeply when a battle
goes poorly.
Today the pain was deep.
For some it was made deeper
still by the thought of wounded
fellow-Americans whom they had
been forced to leave behind when
the Northern Communist horde

The American troops are con-
vinced the Reds take no prisoners.
The pain showed in the tears
of an American lieutenant, who
sobbed:
I'VE fired our last round and
then got out. I don't know how
many we left behind. We left
some of those poor kids. :"
The pain showed in the voice of
Pvt. John Easterling, 10, of Akron,

stayed at his gun alone after IA

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS
IN KOREA, July 8.-One slender
thread links the world with the
Korean scene where history is
being written.
That thread Is the single tele-
phone circuit from here to Tokyo.
All the frontline news of the
crucial conflict is channeled
through that one line.
1t is shared by the military, the
United Commission and cores
pondents. There are 40 cores
pondents already on the scene and
a score of others en- route-and the
press comes third in priority on
the telephone.
Only another news man can
fully appreciate the mental an
guish the correspondents suffer
from the inevitable delays in get
ting out their hottest stories, but

correspondent must file with a

wishes to telephone. The officer
puts a number on it in the order

wait until all copy ahead of his

Calls at first were limited to four
minutes each, then to three, but
now it has been agreed to let each
man take as long as he needs.
There is catch to this. The man

that the others who wrote short

in close touch with each other on
the Korean situation. The Ameri-
can Government obviously has
been informed of the Gromyko-
Kelly conference.
In general, officials here said
it was certain that the United
States will follow out every lead
that offers any prospect of re-
storing a "iust peace" in Korea.
The implication was that the
Gromyko-Kelly talk will be fol-
lowed up.
At the same time, authorities
noted that because of the mystery
with which the Russians surround
their intentions, the Kremlin is in
a position all the time to create
hope or apprehension abroad by
a mere juggling of words. The
most that seemed to be officially
accepted about Russia's Korean
policy here is that it is not de.
signed thus far to spread the con-
f1ict.
In his announcement on Gen.
Macarthur, President Truman en-
phasized that the aims of the
United Nations forces under Gen.
MacAthur's command is to as
sist South Korea 'in repelling the
unprovoked armed attack against
it,"
Diplomatic officials said the first
condition OF any move or negotia-
ton to wind up the Korean con-
f1ict must be withdrawal of Com
munist troops behind the 38th
parallel-the boundary from which
they launched their attack two
weeks ago.
AT the State Department, off,
cials said that any compromise
with aggression is impossible. The
United States and the United Ma
tions are deeply committed to clear
the Reds out of South Korea re-
Igardless of cost.
The meeting between the Pres
1dent and Mr.. Acheson produced
only the official announcement
concerning Gen. Macarthur. In
this, the President noted the Sc
cur1ty Councils action of Friday.

California Making
Park of Fort TETON
BY the Assoeioied Press

LEBEC, Calf. - California is
making a state park of historic
Fort TETON, the only fort erected
to protect and rehabilitate In
dians. High in TETON Pass, which
winds through the Tehachapi
mountains linking the Los Angeles
plain with the San Joaquin valley,
workers are restoring barracks al
most century old.
Gen. E. F. Beale, then superin-
tendent of Indian affairs, ordered
the fort built in 1854. His idea was
to make the Indian self sufficient
by teaching him agriculture.
