Difficulties in Maps
OF Korea Explained

Maps used initially by United
Nations forces in Korea often did
not even show some towns of con-
siderable size and frequently
placed cities on the wrong side of
a river. But new maps now are
being made.
Maj. Edwin G. Jane, jr.. of New
Orleans, who served with the 18th
Bomber Group. told of the map
difficulties yesterday at a Penta-
gon press briefing.
He explained the original maps
were based on a 1922 japanese
survey of Korea.
The major. asserting that Air
Force claims of damage and de-
struction are conservative, said
photographs taken during the
raids must show trucks actually
burning before a kill is credited
to a pilot.
ut is very frustrating to shoot
up a truck. see it shoulder and
then go out" he commented.
He described the Soviet built
MIG-15 jet fighter as a fine air.

pilots tactics improved as the

bridges, roads and railroads. He
told Of hitting a single railroad
bridge six days in succession. and
each day the bridge was repaired.

Harley Hise. Sept. l3.-Does not

that Mr.. Boyle called him in some
instances. He does not know how
many, very few possibly, to meet

for him.
William E. Willett. former di-
rector, RFC, Sept. 19.-Testifed
that from recollection and accord
ing to his Office record, he does
not remember Mr.. Boyle talking
to him about ALC, nor did he
know in 1949 that Mr.. Boyle had
any connection with ALC.
E. Merle Young, September 10.
testified that Mr.. Boyle had never
spoken to him about the ALC loan
and that he did not know that Mr..
Boyle had at one time been an at
torney for the corporation until
the recent newspaper notoriety.
Homer w. Stanhope, controller.
ALC, September 20, testified that
to his knowledge neither Mr..
Boyle nor Mr.. Siskind had any,
thing to do with preparation Of
the application for the loan.
Defends Actions.
Accordingly. it Is readily seen
that when I stated on August 6
that had not discussed this loan
with any one. those were the true
facts. I did make an appoint
ment for Mr.. Blauner to see Mr..
Hise at the RFC on February %,
1949, at Mr.. Blauner's request. I
did not discuss the case with Mr..
Hise. nor was I asked to, then or
thereafter. / made this appoint
ment in the same way that have
made many appointments for
people to see some person at a
Government agency.
Much has been recently pub
lished about the fact that the
Democratic National Committee,
through its chairman, or other
officers, has made appointments
for individuals with the directors
of the RFC. II a person seekSan
appointment with an official Of
any governmental agency or with
members of the Senate or House,
I feel it is not only proper for the
staff of officials of the Demo-
cratic National Committee to make
such appointments, but it is their
duty to do so. 80.

lspect to me has been and is

Accordingly. to the best of my
recollection. am stating in detail
lmy relationship with the American
Lithofold Co.
About February /, 1949, was
RETAINED as Washington counsel by
Mr.. r. J. Blauner. president Of the
American Lithofold Co. I had no
prior business or social relation
ship with Mr.. Blauner prior to that
time, although I had met him.
my agreement with American
lLithofold was the usual general
retainer agreement and provided
for the payment of $500 a month.
The payments were made effective
as of February /. 1949. and were
to be in biweekly installments of
$3.50 each, the last being dated
April Is, 1949.
Thus I received the total sum Of
$50 from the American Litho-
fold Co. After my withdrawal
from the private practice of law
on April 20, 1949. Mr.. Cecil A.
Green, who was the Washington
representative of the company.
had recommended to Mr.. Blauner
that Mr.. Siskind be employed to
represent the company. On April
80. l949, a further check in the
Iamount of $3.50 was forwarded by
the company and when I was ad-
vised of its receipt. it was turned
over to Mr.. Siskind.
Newspaper Stories Cited.
On July 20, 1851, the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch published an article
that I was paid $4,000 by Amer
ican Lithofold Co. after 1t obtained
lRFC loans. That statement and
the subsequent articles appearing
in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
were unfounded, distorted and
false. On August 6, 1949. I
issued a statement as to my rela-
Itionship with the American Lith-
ofold Co. and I am now repeating
what I then said:
Il was engaged by the Amer
ican Lithofold Co. in February,
l1949. with monthly retainer of
$500. The retainer was for gen.
ieral legal services and had nothing
to do with the company's applica-

to do with the application. I had
nothing to do with the presenta-

the province against whatever
decision the United Nations
Commission for India and PAX
istan might arrive at. But there
ensued the shocking sight of
open war between sister do
minions, between troops that
had once been brothers in arms,
and each of whose commanders
in chief were still British gen.
erals.
In January. 1949. UNCIP sue
ceeded in bringing about a
cease-fire line between the op-
posing forces was marked out.
It is from this time that COM
plete deadlock has prevailed over
the conditions under which the
plebiscite (agreed on In principle
by both sides) should be held.
Kashmir consists of three
provinces-Ladakh. wild and
mountainous; Kashmir with its
famous and ineffiably lovely val
ley in the center. and Jammu
in the south. Only in the three
eastern districts of Jammu is
there an acknowledged Sikh and
Hindu majority. Elsewhere
Moslems number about three
out of every four. Geographical
ly, the map suggests that Kash-
mir should be part of Pakistan,
with which it has always been
linked commercially as it is re-
ligiously. India had no con-
nection with Kashmir except by
a primitive road unusable in
Evening star., 1951-01-28

Pakistan retorts that such an
arrangement would make a
plebiscite meaningless and that
UNCIP had assured her that
no preliminary disbandment of
the Azad forces was required.
The correspondence on these
points is so long and involved
that its exact meaning is really
a case for lawyers. But the
main facts are clear enough
India insisting that all hostile
forces must be withdrawn and
the overall control left to her;
Pakistan as firmly refusing.
The question of the withdrawal
of troops is still the chief
stumbling block.
In the autumn of 1949 UNCIP
threw up its job and eventually
the Security Council appointed
a leading Australian jurist, Sir
Owen Dixon, as mediator. He
laDOfed laSt year from May ~
to August %. and produced a
plan to partition Kashmir-
those areas which were pre-
dominantly Moslem to go to
Pakistan. those which we're
mainly Hindu to 60 to India,
and a plebiscite to be held in
areas where any uncertainty
prevailed. But this plan. too,
proved unacceptable. Appar-
emily India was prepared to ac-
cept, but in Pakistan the mere
mention of partition is like a
red rag to a bull.

PIeven Brings Problems Here

the threat of additional imitation
has brought down more than
one cabinet.
M. Pleven gingerly balances the
parties which are cooperating in
his coalition. He cannot act on
wage increases without the sup
port of the rightist parties Rad
ical Socialist and Popular Repub-
licans. If they oppose wage in
creases. as they have in the past,
an issue will be handed to the
Communists and the Socialists
which probably would bring down
the Pleven cabinet.
What can the United States do
to help relieve this vicious circle
Of higher prices, higher wages,
higher taxes and then higher
prices again?
M. Pleven wants something con-
crete done about stabilizing the
prices Of raw materials, which will
take the inflationary air out of
the retail price index and relieve
the pressure for wage increases.
The French are interested-and
M. Pleven will pursue the point
in the creation of commodity
groupings among the various ma
tions which buy and sell in the
world market. They are inter-
ested in organizing. for instance,
countries which export and i'm
port copper into a cooperative
group which will stabilize the
price In copper and arrange for
orderly buying which will not tend
to push prices upward. And SO

on the partition of the Punjab
gave her a corridor-to the fury
of the Pakistanis.
But we are long past those
days. Of the five main areas
India rules three. south and
east of the cease-flre line,
through pro-Congress Moslem,
Sheikh Abdullah. The other
side Of the line is ruled by the
Azad Kashmir government,
headed by a clever barrister
named Sardar Mohammed Ibra-
him, with an army, the Azad
Free Forces, which, it is stoutly
asserted, consists only Of local
men.
Violent Emotionalism
1t is obvious that no plebi-
scite can be held unless the
troops on both sides are with
drawn and UNCIP's proposal
was that this should be done
pari passu in equal stages. Un-
fortunately, UNCIP seems to
have given a misleading expla-
nation of its plans to Karachi
and to New Delhi.
India insisted and still insists
that, before a plebiscite is held,
the AZad Free Forces must be
disbanded and their district put
under control by the Indian
Army for the protection of all
Kashmir. India maintains that
UNCIP accepted this view.
