 RAPID CITY, South Dakota = came out to the Black Hills yes- terday to dedicate the gigantic lighting system which now floods the majestic granite faces of Wash ington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, carved high on the side of Mount Rushmore in this beautiful national park.
 Sometimes I think it is a good thing for Washington newspaper man, or even Washington bureau crat or for every American. as a matter of fact, to get away from his routine and do some thinking about our founding fathers and the great goals they set for us to carry out.
 The four patriots whose faces are carved on this mountain side were all crusaders and, in sense dangerous revolutionaries. In fact Washington and Jefferson were considered so dangerous that the crowned heads of Europe tried des- perately-even as late as the En- peror Maximilian during our Civf War-to defeat the "subversive' democracy left in their wake.
 Lincoln was another revolution ary, considered so dangerous by ths south that it rebelled. While Teddy RooSevelt's dangerous" campaign against big business caused the cor porations of his day to heap more abuse on his head than that heapec on the head of another Roosevelt.
 Nevertheless, these men set z creed of government and goa

 SEOUL. Korea. Tuesday. June 27 -R-Invading North Korean Com munists stabbed a tank column to the outskirts of this southern re- public's capital early today and broadcast demand for southern surrender.
 The surrender demand was made over the Pyongyang radio by Gen. Chai Ung Jun. commander of the northern forces that suddenly in- vaded South Korea Sunday morn- ing.
 Prospects of total defeat of the southern forces through bad morale rather than by being beaten in the field were in evidence at this zero hour today.
 South Korea's defense minister said about 5O.O00 North Korean troops are taking part in the inva- sion. He estimates an equal number of defense troops are facing the invaders, who are reported to have advanced to within 20 miles of Seoul. capital of South Korea.
 A Russian ship was reportediy sunk off the east coast of South Korea.
 1 Dawn Invasion I The invasion began at dawn as | Communist troops attacked at IT points along the 3Sth parallel which splits Korea. and bombed and straffed Kimpo airfield in Seoul, with Russian built Yak planes.
 The attack knocked out an American C-54 transport and seven South Korean training planes on the ground.
 South Korea's acting premier has appealed to the United States Am bassador in Seoul for US. planes from Okinawa and Japan. He said he had 60 skilled pilots who could l fly the planes.
 The Northern mobile column that thrust perilously upon Seoul did so by piercing two full Southern di- visions that were engaged in counter-attack.
 It reached Seoul's outskirts with little or no resistance for the last dozen miles.
 (Exact whereabouts of the North ern column was not mentioned in this dispatch filed at 2:20 am. Ko- rean time)
 Local official reports had the Northern tanks nine miles north of Seoul at 10 p.m.. Monday. and push ing ahead fast. This morning they were said to be on the outskirts 1 Resistance Collapses , Southern resistance collapsed at < Uijongbu. 12 miles north of Seoul. A further defense was being put up three miles south, but there were no details.
 The American Embassy burned it's important secret papers in a huge bonfire. Air raid sirens screeched. The city was buzzing after four Northern planes strafed downtown streets.
 | The flying column rushed towar1 here from the Uijongbu valley. A Southern counteroffensive there failed miserably during the day. Heavy artillery softened up the Uijongbu defenders and the tanks pushed them out of town after sav- age street fighting.
 Two Southern divisions totalled 10000 men dug in outside of the town of Uijongbu. But the deter mined onslaught of heavy tanks pushed them aside and the North ern invaders. who were halted tenn porarily yesterday. rolled on toward the capital.
 I President Syngman Rhee and his. cabinet were in emergency session at midnight. They were reportedly discussing the Ongjin peninsula front, where Southern forces were 1 reeling or knocked out.
