Rhee Said 10 Reject
u. ). Plan 10 Unity,
Neutra|ize Korea
Allies Also Criticized
For Falling to Consult
Seoul, Newspaper Says
By the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Sept. ,28.-The
New York Times said South Ko-
rean President Syngman Rhee
assailed today a proposal on the
future of Korea that was re-
ported to have been prepared by
the United States for introduc-
ton at the Korean peace confer
ence."
President Rhee, the story said,
also was sharply critical of the
Allies for planning a solution of
the Korean question without con-
sulting first with the South Ko-
rean government"
Un Washington State De-
partment spokesman said,
There is as yet no United
States plans for Korea"
(He added that the United
States is exploring various
ideas" in the hope of formu-
lating a position at the political
conference that will have the
full support of South Korea
and other members on the
U. N. Side)
Mr.. Rhee'S attitude was re-
ported in a Seoul dispatch to the
Times from Greg MacGregor.
The story added:
Britain. Canada and France
were said to be supporting the
United States proposal Among
it's provisions is a call for the
naturalization and unification of
North and South Korea and the
withdrawal of all foreign troops.
Also provided are mutual safe
guards against aggression be-
tween the Soviet Union and
Communist China on one side
and the republic of Korea on
the other.
Can't Take Plan Seriously.
1--WE cannot take seriously any
proposal for the naturalization
of Korea so long as we have
powerful aggreSSor nation S
which are left unpunished and
unconverted from their violent
ways.
Even if all members of the
United Nations should guaran-
tee our neutrality, we would not
accept that status since so many
nations are undecided on
whether to stand on the Com
muist or democratic side, where
as the whole Soviet bloc is
armed to the teeth for aggres-
sive warfare"
Unity Efforts Delayed.
Explaining his willingness to
shelve temporarily his active
campaign to gain that objective
so the fighting could be termi-
mated, Mr.. Rhee said:
by agreement with the United
States, the government of the
Republic of Korea has postponed
it's determination to unity North
and South Korea by military
means in order to see what may
come out of a political confer
ence. We have also entered into
a mutual defense treaty with the
United States.
"If 80 days after the political
conference opens it has failed to
achieve the objective of Korean
unification, then naturally we
shall resume the battle for ou1
national independence ano
unitV."

Three witnesses, two of them
born in Russia, testified before
the Senate Investigations sub
committee today in support of
Senator McCarthy's charge that
the Army has been indoctrinat-
ing itself with Communist
propaganda.
The Wisconsin Republican
several weeks ago released an
Army training document en-
titled psychological and Cul-
tural Traits. of Soviet Siberia"
and said that it was based
largely on writings of Com
munists.
The Army, denying the charge,
reported that Senator Mccarthy
had violated security statutes by
releasing the document which
was prepared and given limited
distribution in 1852 by G-2 of
the Far Eastern Command. The
document was classified re
stricted" when Senator Nc
Carthy made it public.
Taking time out on the day
before his marriage to Miss Jean
Kerr, Senator Mccarthy ordered
a public hearing to buttress his
charges.
Three Witnesses Appear.
Those who testified in his sup
port were:
l. Igor Bogoletov, who identi-
fed himself as one-time official
of the Soviet Foreign. Office. He
said the document contained
I'd CELEBRATE misinformation"
which SERVED the interests OF
the Communist cause"
2. Vladimir Petrov of the Yale
University faculty. who fled from
Russia after having served six
years in a Siberian prison camp.
He described the document as
extremely biased and an un-
scientific paper"
3. Louis Francis Budenz, one
time Communist editor and now
a Fordham University professor
He testified that "in my humble
opinion" the document was 1.-The
work of a concealed Commu-
MIST" Mr.. Budenz also identified
several authors, whose writings
were used as source material in
the preparation of the Army
document, as persons he knew
as Communists.
Maj. Gen. r. c. Partridge,
head of Army Intelligence, and
several of his aides, listened to
the testimony. Senator Nc
Carthy said Gen. Partridge will
have the right to answer the
charges whenever he desires.
Soviet Book Cited.
! Mr. Bogolepov testified that
he had seen writer by the name
of E. j. Simmons at the Russian
Foreign Office in Moscow. Sen
ator Mccarthy said a book by
Mr.. Simmons entitled, ~. S.
S. r. Concise Handbook" sort
of anthology of writings on So
Wet Russia, was cited in the

Three on Stand to Support
Mccarthy on Army Charges

Army document as one of the
sources of material. The Wis
consin Republican also said the
Simmons book had been used as
a basic textbook in Army courses.
Mr.. Bogolepov said the docu-
ment used almost word for word,
without giving the actual source,
statements by Stain in his look
problems of LeniniSm" to in
dicate that in Russia there was
no opposition to communism
and that in event of war with
Russia all the Russian people
would be aligned against this
country.
= Mr.. Budenz, in his testimony,
identified Corliss Lamont, New
York writer, as a Communist
and also Harriet Moore Gelfan,
who has written about Russia
under the name of Harriet Lucy
Moore. One of her articles was
contained in the Simmons an
thology.
Mrs. Gelfan Silent.
Called as witness, Mrs. Gel
fan refused to say. on grounds
of possible self-incrimination,
whether she is a member of the
Communist Party and whether
she had attended Communist
Party meetings where espionage
against the United States was
discussed.
Senator Mccarthy said that
Mr.. Lamont, whose book on the
Soviet people was listed in the
document as a source material,
had refused to answer Subcom-
mittee questions at a closed
hearing in New York recently.
The Senator added that he had
discussed the matter informally
with Justice Department lawyers
and that 1--WE are in complete
agreement that Mr.. Lamont
should be cited for contempt"

Police Ordered
To Stop Issuing
Courtesy Cards
Honorary Badges
Included in Action
To End Influence

The Commissioners today or.
dered an abrupt end to police
courtesy cards" and honorary
badges in the District.
The two Commissioners pres
ent approved recommendation
of Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray for the. discontinuance of a
policy which is pursued in many
cities but frequently abused.
Commissioner Camalier is on
vacation.
The cards and badges already
issued will not be recalled, Chief
Murray said.
Immediately after the Com
missioners acted. Chief Murray
instructed all personnel of his
command that henceforth they
shall attach no special value to
courtesy cards or badges. He
said the cards and badges are
simply souvenirs"
The chiefs order means that
policemen are not to be inf1u-
enced by any card holder in the
enforcement of laws. How many
cards are in circulation could not
be determined.
Bear Department Seal.
It has been customary for
many years for chiefs of the Me-
tropolitan Police Department to
issue the courtesy cards to friends
and other citizens highly recon-
mended to them. They bear the
department seal and signature OF
the chief and read:
The courtesies of the Metro
poiltan Police Department are
hereby extended to--."
The name of the holder is typed
in the blank space and his sig
nature is supposed to be affixed
along the margin.
The practice of extending
such cards is followed in many
Jurisdictions throughout the
United States.
! But experience here and else
where shows that the cards
sometimes fall into hands of un-
desirable persons. In addition,
possession of them often IS
abused by more respectable citi-
zens. And, furthermore, such
cards occasionally help build up
bribe racketS.
A feature article in This Week
magazine on July S focused at
tention on these evils, and many
others. This Week is supple
ment of The Sunday Star.
Several Communities Act.
Since publication of that ar
ticle, several communities have
moved to eliminate the practice.
One city which accomplished
this quickly was Richmond, va.
The commissioners today saw to
it that Washington was among
the first cities to take the step.
The decision brings relief to
/ Chief Murray. AS one who rec
ognized the dangers in the prac-
tice, he cut down drastically on
the number of cards issued since
he took Office almost two years
/ ago. But he has been under
constantly heavy pressure to is-
sue the courtesy certificates
more freely.
One of the more notorious
holders of Washington police
courtesy card, it developed, was
Henry w. (the Dutchman)
Grunewald. 1t was found on the

By she Associoted Press

TOKYO, Sept. %. - Prime
Minister Shigeru Yoshida's per-
sonal envoy will leave by air for
Washington tomorrow with de-
tails of a japanese rearmament
program drafted yesterday by
leaders of the nations two dom
inant political parties.
The envoy, former Finance
Minister Hayato Ikeda, is ex-
pected to ask for greater Ameri-
can aid to speed japanese de-
fenses against potential Com
munist aggression.
A source close to Mr.. Yoshida
said the 75-year-old prime min4
lister himself probably will leave
for the United States on the
same mission.
A joint statement issued yes
terday by Mr.. Yoshida. head of
the Liberal Party, and Mamoru
Shigemitsu, leader of the Pro-
gressives, indicated the two had
forged a bipartisan program of
straightforward rearmament."
YOshida Swings Over.
Mr.. Yoshida had expressed a
desire for United States mutual
security aid but Jagged in nego-
tiations in the face of heavy
left-Wing political attacks. The
new agreement indicated he has
swung over to the position of the
Progressives.
Mr.. Yoshida's intention to go
to Washington was first an
nounced by his secretary last
month, shortly after the visit
of United States Secretary of
State Dulles and United States
Senate Majority Leader Know
land.
Mr.. Dulles repeatedly ex-
pressed dissatisfaction at ia
pans slow rearmament. Senator
Knowland openly declared that
it made no sense that Japan
should be defended by only
10000 men of it's own national
safety force while South Korea
and Formosa each maintain al
most 20-diviSion armies.
Few people here expected Mr.
Yoshida to actually go to Wash
ington, however, because his po-
Sition was so Shaky.
Bipartisan Plan Drawn.
Yesterday, Yoshida started a
surprise move to stabilize ia
pans stormy politics. He called
on Mr.. Shigemitsu and ironeo
out long-standing differences or
the touchy arms issue. The two
leaders forged a bipartisan re-
armament plan to speed ma
tional defense.
Today, Mr.. Yoshida sent his
state minister, MaSazumi Ando
to Ichiro Hatoyama, leader oi
"a liberal representatives who
had bolted after denouncing Mr.
Yoshida's earlier rearmament
policy.
1t was expected that Mr.. Yo-
shida will regain the support o1

SuezEVaCuation
In 18Months
Reported SET
Egypt and Britain
Nearer Solution
Of Canal Dispute
BY the Associated Press

official Egyptian source said
today Britain had agreed to re-
move it's troops from the Stra-
tegic Suez base within 18
months. This put Britain and
Egypt nearer to a solution of
the Suez dispute but a British
Embassy spokesman said an
early complete agreement was
unlikely.
The Egyptian informant said
technical questions remaining
included the status of about
5000 British experts who would
remain at the base after the 18-
month period expires. Britain
wants them in uniform. Egypt
insists they wear civilian clothes.
The Informant said Egypt would
break off negotiations if this
demand is not met.
Main Hurdle Overcome.
The Egyptians want the ex-
perts to remain six years in
stead of the seven sought by the
British. This question is also
undecided.
But the Egyptian informant
stressed that main hurdle was
overcome with British agree
ment that the base would be
made available to Britain and
her allies only in event of actual
warfare against an Arab state.
Previously Britain had insisted
that the base be made avail
able in event of threat of war
against the Arab states or
Greece, Iran and Turkey.
The Arab states include the
eight members of the Arab
League - Egypt, Iraq, Saudi
Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan,
Yemen and Libya.
0U,UUU 10 De EVdcudLcus
The informant gave the fol-
lowing outline of the points
agreed upon:
/. British troops-estimated to
number 80,000-will evacuate the
base within a period of 18 months
from the signing of the agree
ment.
2. Four thousand British ex-
perts will remain in the base for
three years following the 18-
month period. They will be un-
der the command Of the Egyp-
tian Army commander in chief,
who will be assisted by a British
adviser.
8. Britain will not remove
any equipment from or diSman-
tie any installation at the base
during the whole period in which
the experts remain.
Disagreement Over Experts.
Points of disagreement were
listed as:
l. Britain wants to keep 5000
experts for two and half years
after the three-year period al
ready agreed upon, making a
total period of continued British
presence of seven years. Egypt
wants "a few hundred experts
only" to remain in the base
after the three-year period for
an additional one and a half
years only. a total occupation
period of six years.
2. Britain wants her experts
to wear uniforms. Egypt insists
they must wear civilian clothes
The informant warned that
this last point, however, could
jeopardize the whole outcome OF
the present talks if Britain in
sists that her experts remain in
uniform.
We're ready to break the
talks in that case" he said. 1.-THE
Anglo-Egyptian 1885 treaty pro-
vided for 10000 men to remain
at the base. Egypt'S people shall
not tolerate that almost hall
