RECLAMATION BEGUN

Planting of trees in gull
lies such as these will stop
erosion in from three to five
years and insure a future
timber crop. Planting OF
kudza will check erosion in
the same space of time and

Limb Asks Eliminate
Of 38th Parallel as
| Thing Of the Past
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. Sept. Is. Foreign
Minister B. c. Limb of the Re
public of Korea, on his way to
tell the United Nations of the
Communist attack on his country,
said today, 1--WE must not lose
sight of the Importance of elm
mating the 38th parallel"
Mr.. Limb told a news conference
that in the past on many occa-
sions people in control have paid
SO much attention to victory alone
that they sometimes forgot what
they were fighting for.
IF we try to buy victory by
stopping at the 38th parallel it
will be a useless war;" he said.
"If we leave the parallel as a
dividing line, war will come
again.
Line Called Thing of Past.
He said the "38th parallel" is
a thing of the past.
Mr.. Limb said he, of course.
could not speak for the United
Nations but as for South Korea,
I'VE are determined to go beyond
the 38th parallel"
He said he believed the Korean
delegation named by President
Syngman Rhee and the National
Assembly would discuss these
problems with the U. N.
War Criminal Charge Laid.
He said leaders of the North
Korean war must be treated as
war criminals, but the average
Korean must be taught demo-
cratic ways. He thought 1t may
take a long time to bring democ-
racy to those who have been in
doctrinated by the Communists,
but I'VE are patient people"
Mr.. Limb said that under the
Cairo agreement it was deter
mined that Korea must be free,
but under Yalta the world leaders
said something else because "they
thought then only of victory in
the war"
The Foreign Minister said also
his country must now begin
thinking of reconstruction after
the ravages of war and added.
1--WE welcome foreign investment
to develop our industries and
natural resources on a fair basis"
He said his seven member dele
cation would discuss these prob
lens with the U. N. and the
United States.

South Koreans Gave
Warning 6 Weeks in !
Advance, U. N. Is Told
BY the Asseei1,sd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Sept. 15.-The
United Nations Korean Commits
sion disclosed yesterday that South
Korea's intelligence chief had
warned it six weeks in advance
6 that a Communist attack was i'm
minent. but that American Off
cials disagreed.
The disclosure was made in the
111-page annual report of the
seven-nation commission to the
General Assembly.
ID The report held the North Ko-
rean regime completely to blame
for the conflict and described the
June 2 5attack as an act of long
premeditated and unprovoked ag-
gression.
Reply to Russians.
Replying to Russian charges
that it was the South Koreans
who f1rst advanced across the 38th
parallel, the report said:
The commission is unanimously
OF the opinion that no offensive
could possibly have been launched
across the parallel by the Repub-
lie of Korea.
The invasion of the territory
Of the Republic of Korea by the
armed forces of North Korean
authorities was an act of aggres-
sion initiated without warning
and without provocation, execu-
tion Of carefully prepared plan. !"
Disparity Noted.
The disparity between the views
OF United States and South
Korean military intelligence dated
back as far as last January, the
report indicated. At that time,
the commission said, the chief of
staff OF the South Korean army
reported the North Koreans had
l75,000 men under arms and that
1t was only matter of time be-
lore they would attack.
1t added, however, that Brig.
Gen. w. L. Roberts, chief of the
United States Korean Military
Advisory Group, disagreed with
these estimates. He told the COM
mission the 100000 strength of
the South Korean army was at
least equal to that of the North
Korean army.
On May IL, the chief of intelli-
eence Of the Korean Army, Col.
Chang Do Yong, told the COM
mission invasion was imminent.
He said he based his conclusion
on three things: Increased man
power of the North Korean Army.
massing of well-trained troops in
the vicinity of the Parallel and
employment of guerrilla forces to
1nf1ltrate and test the strength of
South Korean defenses.
2 Officers Mentioned.
The commission said it called
In two officers from Gen. Roberts
stan (identity not disclosed) and
they did not agree ION the immi-
nence OF any danger and again
expressed confidence in the ability
OF the army of the republic to
handle forces of the Northern
regime in case of attack"
