Embassy here, at 1920 Massachu-
sets avenue. The Embassy re-
quests that all packages be sent
directly to New York, however, as

Next to. the plight Of the
orphans, the most vivid impress
sion Mime. Yang brought from
Korea was of the incredible dirt
and overcrowding in Pusan.
'It was originally a simple fish,
ing village. with low, Japanese
style wooden houses. and only the
main roads paved" she said.
Nov over a million people live
there, including many u. NJ.
troops. The heavy Army trucks
are breaking down the few roads
that were paved, and raise tre-
mendouS clouds of dust. Every
thing is dusty and dirty"
Water Scorce
The people can never really get
clean. she added, because water
is in very short supply. "It is sold,
by the bucketful, and you cannot
buy much. no matter how wealthy
you are, because it is needed for
drinking purposes" she said. The
springfield water supply, which
was ample for the towns normal
population, cannot supply the in
creased population.
Women try to wash their clothes
at the few small streams, but soap
is also scarce. and mot very good
so that nothing ever looks clean,"
she said.
BY comparison. the envoy's
wife found Seoul, the former capi-
tai, a beautiful CITY," "The
StTeeCS are comparatively empty,
compared to Pusan's overcrowd-
ing" she said. "And the buildings
are almost all destroyed. But
much of the rubble has been
cleared away. The streets are
wide and clean. You can see that
it must have been a beautiful city.
I feel sure it will be again."
In fact. so impressed was Mime.
Yang with Seoul. even in its
badly SCARED condition. that she
thinks maybe some day, when
all this is over" that she would
like to move there with her hus-
band and their two children,
Sheila. II, and Charming, Z.
