Decision
Continued From First Page. J

Korean President, be recaptured.
If they do agree, it will still be
within the power of President
Rhee to Illustrate the truce by
carrying out his threat to pull
his armies out of the United
Nations Command. If they do
not agree. the responsibility for
continuing the war will still rest
squarely on the South Korean
President.
Officially, the United Nations
leaders are still pinning their
hopes on the possibility that
the Communist will agree to a
cease-fire and that the South
Koreans will not take violent
steps to wreck it. But with each
new development, that hope has
grown obviously more remote.
Everything that has happened
since the truce became imminent
indicates that the U. N. leaders
have seriously underestimated
the determination of the fiery
old South Korean leader to block
the truce, and his ability to do it.
AS far back as September,
1851, President Rhee was calling
for an end of the truce talks un<
less the Chinese Withdrew from
North Korea, unless the North
Koreans were diSarmed and the
country unified. Even at that
time, he was insisting that un-
less the Reds agreed to these
terms within a specified time,
that the fighting should be re-
sumed.
TOday'S Terms Similar.
Today, his terms are much the
same:

They don't want to risk being
held responsible, in the public
mind. for blocking the Presi-
dents efforts to balance the
budget. And they won't want to
have it said they prevented ex-
tension of the excess profits tax
and thus helped General Motors
save $124 million during the
next six months"
Democrats, in their turn, were
critical of what they called be
ing taken for granted" by the
Eisenhower administration. One
ranking Democrat on the Ways
and Means Committee said he
was sick and tired of hearing

policies and then come out peri

gued, he would back down quick
ly enough.
The second idea was that. If It
came to a showdown, President
Rhee could not get his people.
and particularly his army, to 60
along with him. In the face of
conflicting orders, it was said,
the ROK army would follow the
course of sanity and follow the
UN lead.
Both these hopeful ideas have
become a little forlorn in the
course of the past few days.
In the first place, it has be-
come clear that the business Of
calling President Rhee's bluff is
not as simple as it seemed at
first. Before that can be done.
the United Nations must reach
the decision to Scuttle and run
in Korea. It must abandon it's
former ally to certain defeat at
the hands of the Chinese Com
muniSts and must extricate its
own forces from a war zone in
the face Of enemy opposition.
Would Amount to Defeat.
Such a decision, in anybody's
book, would amount to a COM
plete defeat for the free world.
Quite apart from the strategic
interests involved, it would OBJ
! literate at one stroke the sig
nificance of the sacrifice of
thousands of lives lost in the
United Nations cause. The whole
principle of collective security,
which from the beginning has
justified the war in Korea, would
be placed in mortal peril.
Even looked on purely from a
military point of view, the prob
lem of evacuating the United
Nations forces from the Korean
peninsula would be enormous.
There is no indication whatever
that the Communist forces would
be content to sit back and allow
the operation to be carried out
without opposition. Recent re-
ports from Korea reflect the fear
OF military experts that q fight
ing withdrawal, involving a rear
guard holding action might re-
suit in huge losses of men and
materiel.
Syngman Rhee, who is well
aware of these factors, is bank
ing on them to prevent the u. N.
from pulling out of Korea. Es-
sentially, it is a question of who
can call the others bluff first.
And in the showdown that seems
to be developing, Mr.. Rhee ap-
pears to hold the upper hand.

Cambodia King Threatens
To Stop Helping French
BY the Associated Press

BANGKOK, June 25.-King
Norodom Shamouk of Cambodia
has threatened to pull his troops
from French Union forces in
ndo-China unless his kingdom
is granted independence, q
spokesman said today.
Kreng-Nill, who speaks for the
Cambodian government, told
newsmen here that King Moro
dom wrote President Auriol Of
France that he would accept
only independence comparable to
that enjoyed by India in the
British Commonwealth.
Cambodia is one of three as
sociated states of Indo-China.
The other are Laos and Wet

signing of any armistice.
2. The simultaneous with
drawal of Chinese and U. N.
troops from Korea.
3. A fiat 90-day time limit to
the post-truce political confer
ence, with the war to be resumed
if no settlement is reached.
1t is fair to say that no one
on the U. N. team took Mr..
Rhee very seriously in 1851. To-
day, they are taking him very
seriously indeed, but there is still
no inclination to meet his terms.
The reason is simple enough.
There is no way that the U. N.
can force Red China into ac-
cepting President Rhee's terms
except by defeating them first.
What the South Korean pro-
posal amounts to is a dictated
peace that could only be realized
after a costly offensive in Korea,
and perhaps an allout, air at
tack on the mainland of China
itself.
Some in U. s. Agree.
There are, admittedly, some
people in the United States who
have long argued the ultimate
wisdom of just such a course.
They have opposed the Korean
armistice as fiercely as President
Rhee himself and called for a
military decision of the conflict
at any price.
A decision at this point to
prolong and intensity the Ko-
rean War could only be taken,
however, in defiance of the
overwhelming weight of Amer
lean public opinion. Certainly.
it would be supported by none of
the other members of the United
Nations. In effect, it would
amount to an admission that
the Government of the United
States had been sandbagged
into a fight which, it had in
advance labeled as unnecessary
and unjustified.
If the U. N. cannot accept his
terms, the question remains as
to what President Rhee can do
about it. On this point as well
he has made no effort to con-
ceal his plans. What he proposes
to do is simply remove his army
from the United Nations COM
mand. Then, any agreement
which the U. N. might reach
with the Communists would not
be binding on him. Whatever
happened, he would be free to
continue the fighting.
Hope Lies in Bluffing.
The hope that he will not carry
out his plan has been based on
two ideas. The first is that
President Rhee, who knows per-
fectly well that he cannot fight
successfully alone, is bluffing. If
his bluff were called, it was ar

hope-that the ROK army would
abandon President Rhee In the
crisis-haS been shaken by the
release Of the North Korean
prisoners. In that the action
directly threatened the fate of
the truce negotiations, it can
perhaps be regarded as a good
test of President Rhee's control
Of his own people. AS such, it
was most disappointing to U. N.
hopes.
There is no doubt whatever
that when 1t came to the freeing
Of the prisoners, the ROK forces
knew that they were acting on
orders Of their president that
violated the orders of the U. N.
command. There is no doubt
either that they carried out
President Rhee's orders with en-
thusiasm and efficiency. The act
OF defiance was strongly sup
ported by the civilian population
and. according to all reports.
greatly strengthened President
Rhee's personal popularity
throughout the country.
It would seem, then, that
American leaders must face the
grim probability that President
Rhee is determined to carry out
his plan to wreck the Korean
truce and has the power to do it,
In deciding what they will do
about it, the United Nations has
three possible alternatives, none
of them pleasant.
Third Alternative.
The first two, and some of the
objections to them, have already
been discussed. The problems
that would be involved in giving
in to Mr.. Rhee's demands or in
abandoning him to his fate
would seem at this point so great
as to rule them out as practical
possibilities.
The third alternative, which
has certainly never entered into
the official negotiations in the
Korean crisis, would be to force
acceptance of the truce terms by
South Korea, even if it meant
the removal of President Rhee
as the head Of the Korean gov
ernment.
Drastic as it certainly would
be, such a solution to the dilem-
ma is far from impossible. In
light of the general hostility that
Mr.. Rhee has drawn down on
himself by his present behavior,
it might even be looked on as
the most likely course.

BY jones (. Roper

Prof. Harold c. Weber Of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology testified today that field
tests will be necessary to de-
termine the value of battery
additive AD-X2. 4
This testimony, delivered be-
fore the Senate Small Business
Committee, seemed aimed at:
/. Bureau of Standards Di-
rector Allan V. Astin, who says
the chemical is worthless because
four series of tests at the bureau
have indicated that it does not
prolong the life of storage bat
teries as it's manufacturer claims.
2. DR.. Keith j. Ladder of Cath
olic University who, acting as a
committee consultant, interpret
ed data from NIT tests as dem
onstrating that AD-X2 meets all
of the claims of the manufac-
turer-and then some.
NIT last year tested AD-X2
at the request of the Small Busi-
ness Committee. Secretary of
Commerce Weeks cited the NIT
test and DR.. Ladders analysis
of them when he announced his
decision to fire DR.. Astin partly
for lack of objectivity toward
AD-X2.
Today the Small Business
Committee called DR.. Weber to
the witness chair to give his own
Interpretation of his experiments
with AD-X2. He started off by
reading a message from NIT
Vice President j. A. Stratton,
who refused to indorse or con-
denim AD-X2.
Tests Were Limited.
Under questioning of Commit
tee Chairman Thye DR.. Weber
testified that he intended to
write neither a favorable nor an
unfavorable report on AD-X2
because:
Field tests would be neces-
sary before you come to a def
mite conclusion.
Anyway, he said, the NIT tests
did not cover enough ground to
make final decision. He advo-
Gated the field tests because
you cannot ignore" favorable
results reported by satisfied users
of AD-X2.
Senator Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida asked DR.. Weber
about DR.. Ladders analysis of
NIT data.
He drew conclusion which
I did not draw" DR.. Weber soid.
II have never been able to draw
a conclusion from the informa-
ton I had.
II do not interpret the NIT
report as substantiating the
claim of the manufacturer"
DR.. Ladder, in analyzing the
NIT data for the committee,
concluded: They demonstrate
beyond reasonable doubt that
this material (AD-X2 is in fact
valuable and give complete sup
port to the claims of the manu-
facturer. They also show addi-
tional desirable effects not spe-
cifically claimed by the manu-
facturer."

point, can possibly predict. But
at least a hope would be left that

principles for which the United

not be completely sacrificed to
the ambition and the stubborness
of one man.
