SOUTH KOREA RELEASES
VOLUNTEERS"

The South Korean Government, on
the down-grade economically, and unable
to equip man-power reserves of 100000
men, rounded up last December to fight
the Communists, has been compelled to
release 10000 of the volunteers" be-
tween the ages of twenty-six and forty to
return to their farms and villages.
1t seems that President Syngman
Rhee advised United Nations officials
that he could supply 100000 men, in ad-
dition to the 100000 South Koreans now
fighting but that he must have guns and
supplies before they would be able to
fight. So far, the 100000 members of the
national guard, the first-line reserve, are
relatively unarmed.
The release of the men followed cri-
tieism of the government in the National
Assembly, wherescharges were made that
some of the volunteers died from manu-
triton and lack of care during the winter.
The Korean Defense Ministry, very
short of money, is finding it difficult to
pay the troops of the regular army, much
less buying the clothes and food for AGO.
600 future soldiers. The pay of the South
Korean soldier is not much, Just fifty
cents a month for private and twelve
dollars month for acknowledgement.
Even this, however, is a problem to the
small nation.

DISCLOSURES FAIL TO
SHOCK PEOPLE

The revelations in Washington, con-
corning the use of Influence" to get jobs
and make profits and the disclosures OF
the Senate Crime Investigating Commit
tee, revealing very definitely the power
of underworld characters in political af-
fairs; have aroused considerable atten-
ton but public indignation is not as vocal
as one might expect.
Certainly, the investigation should
continue and every effort should be made
to find out the truth in regard to the mat
Eers under investigation. In fact, the scope
of the inquiry should be enlarged in order
to uncover the ratrer reprehensible prac-
tees Of all Influence peddlers'' and to
disclose the full scope of underworld acti-
vity Ia connection with public affairs and
public officials.
One of the reasons why shocking re-
velati0ns have not produced a more Sc
rious.rep percussion in public opinion is the
undGnbted fact that many Americans take
suchsthings for granted. In fact, there is
a tendency on the part of many people to
dismiss the surprising stories with shrug,
largely because those who read them take
it for1granted that such matters are to be
epected There is, also, unfortunately, the
suspicion that such practices represent the
common behavior of politicians, influence
peddiers and underworld characters

DOES RUSSIA HAVE so BOMBS?

Amid the speculation of many
Americans as to the number of atomic
bombs possessed by the Soviet Union, it
might be good idea to pass along the
opinion of Dr. Harold C. They, one of our
leading atomic scientists.
Dir. Trey thinks thai fifty might be a
good guess as to The number of bombs
possessed by the Soviet. He says that he
is sure that ''the Russians have the bomb
and that they have exploded them"
Fhe scientist does not hesitate to sug-
gest chat ''if full-scale war should break
out, the bomb should be used Immediately
and on the most effective target posi-
ble." AT the same time, he expresses the
hope that the nation will not 'misinter-
pref border Incidents"

FBI REPORTS ON COMMUNISTS IN us.

Recently discussing the Communist
Hoover, director Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, stated that, according to the
FBPs new count of Party members, there
were 43,217 Communists in the United
States Against them, the FIJI has $500
agents, which makes it "a physical i'm
VIGILANCE"
1t is interesting to note that the FBIs
tabulation by states shows that $3.50 of
the Communists are in eleven states, with
New York having 22,575; California A.
$50; Illinois, 3,1O5; Pennsylvania, 1922 !;
New Jersey, 1,571; Ohio, 1000; Washing
ton, 807; Michigan, $50; Massachusetts,,
750; and Connecticut, $50.
If one will then turn to the census fig
uros, showing the white foreign-born pop
ulation of the various states, he will dis
cover that in the number of foreign-born,
New York leads all the country, with g.
$50, $50, followed by Pennsylvania, Iilli-
nois, California, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Michigan, Ohio, Connecticut and
Minnesota The reader will note that this
listing includes ten of the eleven states
with the largest number of Communist
Party members The other state, Wash
Hgton, ranking seventh in the number of
Communists, ranks thirteenth in the num-
Der of foreign-born, but being on the coast,
probably picks up a few extra Commun-
lists.
The above figures are not cited to re-
fleet upon the white foreign-born popula-
.tion of the United States but to show to
the readers of The Citizen that Commun-
ism is an ism brought into this country
from other lands where democratic free
doms are not known. 1t is perfectly natural
for foreigners, when they come to the
United States, to be more susceptible to
the propaganda of Communism. The only
way to change this situation is through
the slow process of education.
1t is interesting to note that in the
South, where the population includes mil
lions of Negro citizens, the number of
Communists is relatively low. Mississippi
has one, South Carolina, IT; Tennessee,
81; Arkansas, 40; Louisiana, So Ken
lucky, III ;ssssGeorgia, 76; Virginia, 90;
Okla h9maY g12Q; North Carolina, 1870; Ala
barla, 1873; Florida, 225; and Texas, 227
In otherMords, the thirteen Southern
States listed have slightly more than 1900
Communists according to the FBI. These
figures demonstrate the loyalty of the peo-
pie of this section, including both races,
and the absence of high percentage of
foreign-born whites
We have no idea as to the Identified
ton of the seventeen Communists in the
State of South Carolina, but we are quite
sure that they have little chance to increas-
ing their number. Much the same observa-
ton applies to the other Southern States
While no one should overlook the presence
of even a few Communists, especially if
they are fanatical and ready to go down
i,he Party line, there is no reason for INTEL
ligent and loyal citizens to be frightened
out of their wits over the alleged menace
of Communism" in this section of the
country.

Vests lead was the diamond
three. South took the trick with
the ace and promptly ruffed dia-
mond in dummy. Then he started
to take out trumpS. He was annoyed
when East showed out on the first
lead, but things still looked good,
since South could probably get rid
of his last diamond on dummy'S
clubs. Events did not dork out just
that way, however After cashing
the top trumps, South laid down the
club jack and led the deuce toward
dummy, but West ruffed with the
heart jack and banged down the
diamond queen.
1t is to be suspected that's most
players in iSouth's position would
meet the same defeat in this case,
because there is every reason to feel
that all 13 tricks can be claimed
the odds against the 40 trump
break are enormous Nonetheless,
an sextremely. careful and expert
declarer would not risk the vulner-
able slam for an extra 80 points.
This sort of player, after winning
with the diamond ace, would make a
safety play That play would con-
sist of leading the ten, nine, seven,
or four of trumps from, the closed
hand. True. in almost every case
this would be a needless sacrifice,
but observe how effective it would
be when the trumps are so badly
divided. Assuming that West puts
up the heart jack-if he doesn't, he
loses it-he can make no return that
will give South the slightest en-
barfassment.

Seattle Opens in Portland For Series Which Gould Decide League Race
By the Associated Press

Hollywood's stars, still entertain ing a faint hope of overtaking Seattle and winning the Pacific Coast league flag, are scheduled to open a five-game series tonight against Los Angeles, which would like to finish third in the stand ing.
 Chances are that both teams will fail to achieve their obiectives.
 Seattle is in Portland for the beginning of series in vhich it could clinch the penAant. But Portland has been playing inn proved ball lately, and the Rain iers may have their hands full.
 Oakland, reposing in second div ision, two points behind fourth place Los Angeles, is entertaining San Francisco. Sacramento and San Diego tied just notch above San Francisco, are fighting 1t out in San Diego.
 Rain cancelled last nights games in Hollywood and San Diego. Hollywood had a game scheduled with Seattle. The cancellation means the Star Rainier game will not be played, even if it could de- termine the flag. San Diego's wet grounds kept Los Angeles idle.

The first game in the Elks bowl ing league will be rolled Sept. 10, it was announced today by the bowling committed
 Team captains are asked to elect league secretaries by Sept. 3 so that bowling schedules may be prepared, the announcement said. Secretaries are to be elected by the captains.
 The Elks bowling committee has held three meetings with represen- tatives of the prospective leagues in an effort to appoint captains who would select their teams.
 Captains arc asked to familiar ize themselves with the league rules that are posted in the club. Copies of the rules may also be obtained from the secretaries when they are elected.
 New pins have been received and will be placed in use for league bowl ing exclusively, the announcement said. The alleys have been resurf- aced. The bowling committee will possibly obtain additional balls. Sug- gestions from interested boWlers as to weight, color and composition are asked.
 The committee is composed of Dr. William Blanton. chairman, Ernest Lincoln, secretary and James Will her
