Truce Effort Hinges on Rhee
As NeutroIs Accept u. N. Plan

Korea. In view Of South Korean
opposition to the truce proposals,
the Swiss were apparently anx-
ious for reinsurance that all Red
prisoners were under control of
other United Nations troops.
Doubt About Others.
While the Swiss position on
the truce negotiations was great
ly improved, however. there was
still a good deal of doubt about
some of the other commission
members. OF the five proposed
nations Switzerland. Sweden,
India, CZechoslovakia and Po-
land) only Sweden has given
definite assurance so far that
it will serve.
In London yesterday, Indian
Prime Minister Nehru reaffirmed
his governments offer to serve.
but added that the decision
would have to be reconSidered
if South Korea refuses the terms
OF the armistice. A check Of the
Polish and Czech Embassies here
yesterday turned UP no hint as
to the plans of the Communist
countries.
Essentially, however, the ball
seems to have been handed
back to the South Koreans. The
chances of a successful Korean
truce rest on the hope that, once
the agreement has been signed
by the United Nations and the
Communist leaders. President
Rhee will reluctantly change his
mind about carrying on the war
on his own.
Hope for Break Dim.
Hope for break in the South
Korean attitude before the sign
ing of the armistice are dim
ming. Ne official reply has been
received from President Rhee to
last weeks note from President
Eisenhower urging him to go
along with the U. N. leadership.
Mr.. Rhee is quoted in press
dispatches, however, as saying
he cannot agree with President
Eisenhower's view that a truce
in Korea will be advantageous
to this country in many ways"
Apparently referring to Gen.
Eisennower's June 6 letter,
which urged him to accept pres
ent truce terms, Mr.. Rhee said
in a statement:
1--WE regret very much, how
ever, that we take a view diff
ferent to (Gen. Eisenhower's)
friendly advice, and that this is
unavoidable because a truce on
the present terms simply means
a death to U.S."
What will happen if there is
no change in the ROK attitude
after the signing of an armistice
is a question on which no re-
sponsible American official is
willing to speculate at this point.
But there is no tendency to
minimize the problems which

DR.. You Chan Yang. Korean
Ambassador, said last night that
if the proposed truce in Korea is
signed it will be a prelude to a
bigger war aimed at the United
States.
In a radio interview. the envoy
reiterated that his government
is determined not to sign the
truce. which would leave Korea
divided. 1--WE feel definitely this
is not going to bring peace to us
or to you either" he said. "This
is a prelude to a larger, much.
more destructive war. When the
Communists are fully prepared
and have enough stockpiles, they
will strike at the heart of the
industrial centers Of the United
States, because that's what they
hate most"
If the truce is not signed and
U. N. forces press on to victory.
he said, there will be "a tre-
mendous moral result in all the
Asian countries who are con-
stantly under fear that the free
world will sell them down the
river. They will Jump on the
band wagon. They will see this
concrete example in Korea"

SEOUL, June 11.-Allied troops
reoccupied Seoul in September,
1850, after landing at Inchon
and routing the North Korean
Reds. A throng of Koreans
gathered in the battered capital
city to hear an address by their
white-haired President, Syng-
man Rhee.
It was a momentous occasion
for the little man who had en-
dured prison torture and SO
years of exile in his long, relent-
less fight against monarchists,
japanese militaristS and now the
Communists. Americans present

Cling speech from the leathery-
skinned Harvard and Princeton
graduate.
Mr.. Rhee fastened a fond gaze
on his people and said:
we have returned to our be-
loved city. Now let's get the
stink out of the streets and get
some trees on those mountains.
The incident illustrated several
points in the character of the
78-year-old chief executive. He
is a simple, direct man with
no apparent affectationss, but
stubborn in persiSting for what
he believes is best for his Korea.
Loves Trees and Flowers.
He is q passionate lover of
trees and Towering things. He
has mania for sanitation.
Today in the midst of a great
armiStice crisis which has found
him, standing up both against
the Reds and the United Nations
at times, he still is exhorting
Seoul residents at least once
each week to clean up and plant.
THE development of the coun-
try is as important as the ar
mistice question" he explained.
His love is for a country in
which he was born UNDER a
monarchy, March 26, 1875; which
threw him in prison when, as a
Methodist mission convert, he
tried to stir up the spirit of
democracy, and from which he
was exiled. fleeing for his life
soon after the japanese took
control in 1910.
He returned to Korea in 1945
after Japan's defeat only to be
caught up shortly in a war which
kept him moving in and out of
Seoul as its fortunes swayed.
Mr.. Rhee lives in a fine, con-
crete and tile mansion on
Seoul hillside. He spends many
waking hours in his spreading,
beautiful gardens.
This week, when Gen. Mark
Clark flew to Seoul for an urgent
conference over Mr.. Rhee'S bitter
opposition to a truce with the
Reds, they held their meeting
in the garden Office" A third
party present was Mr.. Rhee's
little brown and white terrier,
"Smartie,"
On a table in the garden, Mr..
Rhee types personal letters and
important statements on a small,
Swiss portable typewriter. He

units, and with a second dog,
Chindo.
Mr.. Rhee toyed with the bears
and stroked his terrier last
Monday while telling newsmen:
II am being criticized by every
one-except the Korean people"
While talking with important
guests, Mr.. Rhee is apt to stop
his conversation momentarily
while walking over to pull UP q
weed. He pruneS his own trees
and hedges and attends to his
flowers and shrubs daily.
After a 6 am. arising and a
light breakfast, Mr.. Rhee reads
newspapers for an hour, then
sketches Chinese characters on
paper with a brush dipped in
heavy black ink.
Feeds Goldfish.
Mr.. Rhee, who in boyhood re-
ceived a classical Chinese educa-
tion, is highly proficient at this
form of painting. His characters
spell out such notices as "re-
spect heaven and love humans"
At $3.50 am. he goes to a large
pond and feeds bread and rice to
more than 100 goldfish.
Then he walks to his Office
and receives reports on the war.
He conSults with his ministers.
BY $50 am. he is back in the
garden receiving visitors and
giving instructions to his Secre-
tarieS.
Just before noon he sits down
to his typewriter to bang out
personal letters or statements.
Very often they are appeals to
his people to plant trees. use
coal instead Of wood for cook
ing and heating. One of his
favorite sayings is make the
mountains green"
For long those mountains have
been stained red by the blood of
many nations in a now stale
mated war.
Mr.. Rhee deplores the barren
hills Of Korea. He flies often
to the battlefront in light Army
planes. scanning the terrain
closely.
"On several occasions, Presi-
dent Rhee has discovered tree or
brush fires during his trips"
said his secretary, Chang Ki
Bong.
"On each occasion, the presi-
dent made note of the exact
location and sent out fire fight
ers Immediately"
Eats What He Likes.
At 1890 pm. daily, Mr.. Rhee
lunches with his Austrian-born
wife, Fresncesca, 20 years his
junior, whom he wed in 1884. His
digestion is remarkable. He eats
what he likes, including chicken,
fish, beef and pork. He prefers
Western food but occasionally
eats rice and some Korean
dishes.

to 4 pm, Mr.. Rhee plunges

AGRICULTURE AND DEFENSE

TEL AVN, - QIP) - Israel's
determination to attain agricul-
tural self-sufficiency was exhibit
ed again this week in the decision
of military authorities that all
soldiers in the fighting services
will undergo a specific period of
agricultural training in addition to
military courses.
A second phase of the military
program aimed at providing
more skilled farm personnel to
increase the country's productiv-
ity will be in the inclusion of Spe-
cial training depots of Nahal in
the general training program.
During the past three years
Nahal, which trained soldiers in
agriculture and military techni-
ques, operated as a separate
formation.
The soldier-farm program was
described. by military authorities
as having a beneficial influence
on the soldiers, helped improve
health and put new immigrants
in direct contact with veterans in
both new military and farming
methods.
