Beard Efforts 10 Get
Tax Data Opposed
Special Dispcfch 10 The Stor

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-United
State Attorney Bernard j. Flynn
today opposed moves by Sam
Beard. Washington gambler, for
discovery" of details in the Gov
ernment's $2,141,731 tax evasion
charges.
The prosecutor contended he
had already supplied Boards at
torneys with a listing of all the
bank checks involved in the 1914
case charging evasion of $478. .007
in taxes. He contended no further
details should be necessary.
Evasion charges for 1945, 1946
and 1947 totaling approximately
81 .664 900 were brought before
Federal Judge Calvin w. Chestnut
a month ago, and the judge at
that time declined to order the
prosecutor to supply Beard with
additional particulars. The re-
fusal involved Boards own action
in declining to let tax agents in
spect his records when he was
under investigation.
Mr.. Flynn's opposition to the
new move was on the grounds
that it was merely an attempt
on the part of the defendant to

PentogonS Statement onKoreo

at the request of Secretary Pace,
reported upon the progress Of
the new training program, and
indicated that in his most opti-
mistic estimate a minimum of
three years would be required
to make the ROK army COM
pletely effective under then
existing conditions. He gave his
recommendations for expand
ing and improving upon the
program.
These recommendations were
put into effect promptly.
In April, 1852, Gen. Van
Fleet recommended to Gen.
Ridgway that a program be in
stituted to develop an ROK
army of 20 divisions.
Gen. Ridgway, in comment
ing to Washington on Gen. Van
Fleets proposal, stated that in
the preceding eight months
Korean leadership and training
had greatly improved but that
the training program for a 10
division army was only then be-
ginning to bear fruit.

Ridgwoy Message
Sent to Van Fleet

Gen. Ridgway accordingly
sent the following message in
April. 1851, to Gen. Van Fleet:
Secretary Pace has expressed
his major interest in long-range
planning for use of indigenous
personnel wherever we may be
forced to fight. Would appre-
ciate staff study with your per-
tinent comments and recon-
mendationS.
New subject. Secretary has
also pointed out our vital in
terest in stepping up ROK
training. to include training of
high ROK commanders above
regimental level. Would like
brief summary of program
United States now conducting
for the training of ROK officer
and enlisted personnel together
with such expansion of our
training activities as you may
recommend. The basic objec-
tive should be the transfer at
the earliest practicable date that
it could be reasonably expected
to the ROK military establish
ment of responsibility for the
security Of its country against
external aggression.
Upon receiving a copy of this
message, Secretary Pace COM
mended Gen. Ridgway for his
prompt action. At Secretary
PAGES request, the Chief Of
Staff Of the Army, Gen. Collins,
made a man Of outstanding
competence available to Gen.
Ridgway for training the South
Korean forces.
Subsequently, the Chief OF
Staff of the Army, in a radio
to Gen. Ridgway, stated the
desirability of developing all
possible ways of utilizing Ko-
rean .nanpower not only to aug
ment U. N. forces but in time
to replace some of the United
States units. and queried Gen.
Ridgway as to his views.

3 Top Po||sters See
Eisenhower Holding
Popular Vote Lead
BY the Asseeio.ed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. Sl.-Three of
the Nations top political poll
takers say that, as of now, it looks
as II Gen. Eisenhower will COM
mand a slight lead In the popular
vote on election day.
But the pollsters-Dr. George
Gallup. Archibald M. Crossley and
Elmo Roper-Say this prediction
must be tempered by the question:
How fast is Gov. Stevenson CATCH
ing up?
The consensus of the polltakers
came out yesterday at a meeting
Of the New York Chapter of the
American Marketing Association,
and the dominant mood of all
three Of them was: Caution.
Remember 1948 Upset.
They were remembering the way
the voters upset, their 1948 pre-
dictions that Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey would beat President Tru-
man.
And. although they said they've
corrected their methods since
then. they still were wary about
estimating the outcome.
None was willing, yet, to pre-
dict what the ELECTORAL vote will
be. although all said their latest
findings indicate an Eisenhower
popular-vote victory.
However. there has been a re-
cent trend toward Gov. Stevenson,
they said. and they haven't de-
termined to what extent it will
count by Tuesday.
Mr.. Clossley said the big head
ache is the undecided category
He estimated 10 per cent of the
voters are in this group.
Basic Conflict on Problems.
Mr.. Roper said he had found
that lot of voters were "in basic
conflict" on such problems as
whether they preferred a more
popular candidate with a less
popular party. or a less popular
candidate with a more popular
party.
AS of October Is, he said 10 per
cent of the questionnaires he had
received revealed such conflict. but
that this percentage had been re-
ceived revealed such conflict, but
that this percentage had been
reduced from 81 per cent since
mid-September.
Mr.. Gallup said his organiza-
ton, the American Institute of
Public Opinion, Is making its final
poll and will publicize the results
Monday.

sion of the Korean Army, which
is under intensive study by the
Department of Defense.
1t is thus clear that for the
past year and a half the Depart
ment of Defense has consistent
ly and aggressively supported an
expansion of the ROK Army.
The primary limiting factor
throughout has been the neces-
sity of developing adequately
trained Korean leadership. Gen.
Van Fleet has established and
conducted an outstanding sys-
tenn of training of the Korean
forces which is definitely pro-
ducing results. However, it
must be remembered that prior
to the past war Korea was oc-
cupied for decades by the Jap
anese who furnished all of the
officer leadership of the Korean
forces. Many of the division and
corps commanders now fighting
actively and successfully in
Korea had little or no experience
in military leadership prior to
two years ago. Many of them
have been developed in actual
combat. AS rapidly as others
can be trained and developed it
is our purpose to expand the
Korean forces with a view to
their ultimately being prepared
to defend their own country.
The soundness and effective
ness of our program for the
training and expansion of the
South Korean forces is attested
by the fact that today there are
more South Korean troops en-
gagged in front-line combat than
United States and other United
Nations forces. It is likewise
atteSted to by the brilliant sue
cess in combat of a number of
South Korean divisions during
the recent fighting.

South Korean Army
Problems Outlined

Gen. Ridgway replied, outlin-
ing the problems involved in
expanding the size of the South
Korean army. He emphasized
that the basic problems were
leadership and training, not
manpower. He stated that as
trained and experienced officers
were developed they should be
utilized first to improve the ef-
f1ciency of existing units rather
than to divert them at that
time for the creation of addi-
tional new units.
Gen. Van Fleet, in agreeing
with Gen. Ridgway, stated in a
radio message to him in May.
1851: 1.-THE development Of an
effective combat force of any
new nation is necessarily a
long-range project.

The Defense Department to-
day issued the tollo,Uing state
n1ent in connection 1Uith the
political controversy oper train-
ing and use of South Korean
troops:
In response to inquiries as to
whether the Department of De-
fenSe has provided needed sup
port and assistance for the ex-
pansion and training of ROK
forces, the SECRETARY of Defense
has authorized the release of
the following information from
the files Of the Department of
the Army and the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff. The record on the
subject has been carefully re-
viewed and it indicates that
since April, 1878 months
ago-the Department of Defense
has pushed vigorously the ex-
panded training program of the
Republic of Korea forces.
The South Korean army. after
being overrun by the Commu-
nists, has grown from a small
force of from $4,000 to 10000
to a ,well-trained. well-equipped,
and well-led force of over 40O,-
600 supported by the United
States. with substantial addi-
tional numbers supported by the
Republic of Korea. The De-
partment of Defense has ap-
proved the plans for expansion
of the Republic of Korea forces
as recommended by the COM
mander-in-chief. Far East Com
mand, who has the RESPONSE
bility for such recommends
tions.
Secretary Of the Army Frank
Pace. jr., while in Korea in
April, 1851, requested Gen.
Ridgway to take immediate
measures to strengthen the size
of the South Korean forces and
their training.
Evening star., 1952-10-31
Preferred to Restrict
Force to 10 Divisions

Gen. Ridgway therefore rec
commended that the number Of
divisions in the Korean army be
retained at 10 for the time
being, but that the army be
strengthened and increased by
the necessary auxiliary support
ing units which it had previ-
ously lacked and which were
essential for the creation Of a
Self-suffcient, balanced and ef-
fective Korean army.
The Joint Chief of Staff and
the Secretary of Defense ap-
proved Gen. Ridgway's petition.
When Gen. Ridgway went to
Europe in May, 1852, to COM
mand the NATO forces, both
Secretary Lovett and Secretary
Pace emphasized to his success
sor, Gen. Clark, the need for
expanding the strength of the
South Korean army, and the
advisability Of replacing some
United States and other U. N.
troops with South Koreans as
early as practicable.
Gen. Clark has since gone into
this problem very thoroughly
and has submitted a series of
recommendations covering vari-
Gus aspects of training and or
ganizing additional South Ko-
rean forces. AS a result, an in
crease has been made of South
Korean personnel on duty with
United States units and the
South Korean Service Corps,
which furnishes important sup
port for U. N. forces, was in
creased to a strength of ap-
prOXimately 100. 900.

Danish Folk Theater Thrives

Something new has been added
in the way of folk theater in Den
mark.
Eggert Nielsen, four years ago
created somewhat of a stir among
the business-minded cooperative
leaders by proposing that they or
sanize an Andels Cooperative
Theater. AS editor of their paper.
which has the largest circulation
in the country, he had for some
years been stressing the cultural
and educational aspects of cooper
alton. With the invasion of the
radio, of lurid, foreign films and
sensational pulp magazines, many
other thinking people were Won
dering what would happen to the
traditions of the rural D a n S h
family.
Mr.. Nielsen thought that may
be something could be done about
it. The consumer societies belong
ing to the F.D.B. (the Cooperative
Wholesale) cover virtually all of
Denmark. There are almost 1000
of them representing some $780,
600 families. A number of friends
connected with the theater, work
ed out with him proposal to form
travelling Andels Theater in CO.
