The Conference

And if the truce is signed, what
then?
First, arrangements must be
made for the political conference.
The United Nations General As
sembly will meet almost immedi-
ately in New York to decide who
shall represent it. The United
States has firm ideas about only
two countries-the United States
and South Korea. The Reds will
be left to decide what nations will
represent the foe.
Second, the prisoner of war
exchange must be carried out.
Third, the conference itself. The
first business of the conference
presumably would be to agree on
an agenda. 1t will be a surprise
to au-eSpecially Syngman Rhee-
if the conference ever completes
an agenda.
The Communists are expected to
demand discussion of Red Chinese
membership in the United Nations
and the status of FormoSa. Secre-
tary of State Dulles said last week
the United States would oppose
discussion of the first point. Ear
lier he has shown that the United
States would like to dodge the
second item, too. For United
States negotiatorS are caught in
the middle between Congress on
one side, which champions Chang
Kai-Shek, and our allies on the
other side, who recognize Red
China.
There is even considerable doubt
that the Reds and U. N. repre-
sentativeS could agree on what to
discuss in the case of Korea. The
United Nations wants free elec-
tionS followed by unification of the
country. The Reds can be ex-

file on Bishop Oman has received
rather wide public circulation. To
this and other committee pro-
cedures, the cleric has long taken
exception.
The fire was smouldering last
winter when the House committee
launched an investigation of Com
munists in education. Bishop Ok
nam branded the committees
methods as incredible.
A few sparks started flying.
Chairman Velde, on a television
broadcast, took a slap obviously
aimed in Bishop Oxnam's direc-
ton, and added that it was "en-
tirely possible" that Red inf1ltra-
ton of churches might be q
subsequent topic for investigation.
His own committee shushed Mr..
Velde almost instantly.
Jockson's Speech
Before the sparks could die
down, Mr.. Jackson, Republican
member from California, poured
high-octane fuel on the fire in
speech on the House floor. Bishop
Oman, he said, 'has been to the
Communist front what Man O'War
was to thoroughbred horse racing"
In April, the bishop and Mr..
Jackson debated the matter on
the radio. The cleric said false
and misleading data were being
circulated by the committee. He
gave as an example of misleading
information a citation naming him
as member of the American Civil
Liberties Union. The committee
does not list ACLU as a front
group.
At Westminster, Md, meanwhile,
a Methodist Church meeting as
sailed the attacks on Bishop OK
nam. Mr.. Jackson retorted that
the place to settle the matter was
not over the radio or in the news
papers, but before the House COM
mittee in open session, with the
witness under oath.
Bishop Oman then asked for
such a hearing. It was held on
Tuesday.

TINE WORLD spent another
week on tenterhooks, await
ing the signing of a truce in Korea.
President Syngman Rhee of South
Korea had another attack of mis-
givings about armiStice terms, but
at the close of the week the long
awaited signing seemed closer-if
poSsible-than it had ever been.
Aside from minor though costly
skirmiShes on the front, Korean
developments last week could be
classified into two parts, those
dealing with the truce and those
concerning the political confer
ence, which is to be called within
80 days after the signing.
Evening star., 1953-07-26
The Background

For 38 years-since he received
his bachelor of sacred theology de-
gree at Boston University in 1915
the California-born, 61-year- -old
G. Bromley Oman has been &C
tive in the 9-million- member
Methodist Church. For II years
he has been q bishop, first In
Evening star., 1953-07-26
The Truce

AS the week opened, Gen. Mark
w. Clark permitted himself a
luxury he had not INDUCED during
all the previous ups and downs of
the truce negotiations: Public,
unreServed optimism. The Com
muniStS, meanwhile, made public
the truce terms they wanted every
one-especially Syngman Rhee-
to know and accept. Here are the
assurances" which the United
Nations has given the Reds, as
confirmed by a U. N. official:
Q South Korea will not obstruct
an armiStice, and will withdraw
its troops from the buffer zone.
Q The U. N. Command will not
support any ROK violation of the
truce, even If the Reds resist.
What is more, the u. N. will, "to
the limits of its ability" see that
armistice terms are enforced.
. There is no time limit to the
truce.
. The U. N. will protect all North
Koreans, Chinese and neutrals
who enter South Korea to super
wise the arn1istice.
Q The u. N. Command still Is
responsible for recovering the
$1,000 North Korean prisoners
South Korea released June 18.
Rhee's Reaction
The Reds revelation brought
strong reaction from South Korea.
DR.. Rhee and his Foreign Minister
wondered out loud about some Of
the concessions Negotiator Walter
Robertson had made to them few
weeks ago, concessions Washington
had not confirmed. Friday Rhee
brought his objections out into the
open. He said, in effect, that the
United States was double dealing.
He was apprehensive about three
questions:
/. Would Indian troops be pre-
vented from setting foot in South
Korea?
2. Would the United States set
q time limit on the political con-
ference, and then release South
Korea for new efforts to "eject
the invaders?
8. Would Korean and Chinese
prisoners spurning repatriation be
released, the former in South
Korea, the latter in country of
their choice?
Yes or No?
DR.. Rhee said Mr.. Robertson had
said yes to those questions in their
talks. The Reds said the United
States had promised the opposite.
The United States let the infer
ence of double-dealing stand.
But after Rhee's explosion Friday,
President Eisenhower and congress
sional leaders hastily announced
their intention to give South Ko-
rea 5000 million in post-truce
economic aid, a decision which
President Rhee was said to have
approved heartily.
With the Rhee objections still
hanging fire, the Reds and the
U. N. went ahead with their plans
for signing.

Omaha, then in Boston, then In
New York and finally in Wash
ington.
In that period and in that ca
pacity, it was inevitable that
Bishop Oman should have made
a great many friends, large num-
ber of associations and at least a
few enemies. One of his most de-
voted foes over the years has been
the Rev. William Harllee Bordeaux,
an orthodox Presbyterian min
lister who is general secretary Of
the American Council of Christian
Churches.
Splinter Group
DR.. Bordeaux organization is an
offshoot of the former Federal
Council of Churches (now the Ma
tional Council of Churches), in
which Bishop Oman has long
been active. The official statement
of the Bordeaux faction about it's
own status is that
The American Council of Christion
Churches wos organized in le4l by
Protestant churches to offset the mod
ernist. socialist influence Of the National
Council and to odvonee Chhstion
cooperation among churches remaining
true to the historic Chistion foith.
The National Council denies
heatedly that 1t is a liberal"
group, asserting that it represents
80 denominations (25 Protestant,
S Eastern Orthodox totaling SO
million members, and that these
sectS range from the liberal to the
extremely conservative.
The American Council claims
is million members in IA denom-
nations, but more conservative
estimates of the groups strength
range around 100000.
Bad blood has persisted between
the two groups since the 1941
schism. The National Council re-
fuses to recognize it's smaller rival
as more than a loose confedera-
ton Of wrong-headed individuals,
while the American Council says
the larger group Is dominated by
pinkos.
Oxnom's File
Against this backdrop of inter-
denominational strife. the Bishop
Oman case began building up sew
eral years ago. Items from news
papers-all of them derogatory in
nature-began to find their way
into House Un-American Activities
Committee archives. Committee
Spokesmen last week said they
were unable to state when the
Oman file began to develop, but
that 1t was several years ago.
Also into the files went letter.
heads with the bishops name on
them-letterheads which, in the
judgment of the committee, ema-
mated from questionable organiza-
tionS.
How many, or If indeed any, of
the items in Bishop Oxnam's file
came from DR.. Bordeaux Office is
matter of conjecture. The COM
mittee'S policy-and a bone of
contention between the committee
and many of its critics-is not to
divulge the identity of individuals
who furnish information. Repre-
sentative Jackson, California Re-
publican who has been in the
anti Oman forefront, denies fatty
that he has been "fed" any anti
Oman material by DR.. Bordeaux.

Miner To Be Buried in Colorado

The body of Herbert Pierce, 43, coal miner who was killed in an accident at the Evans Jones Coal Mine May 21, was shipped to Denver, Colorado for burial, it was announced this week.
 In addition to his son Leon ard Pierce of Palmer, Pierce is survived by married daughter in Kentucky, broth CT in Arkansas and a half-sisters in Colorado.
 Pierce died shortly after be- ing removed from the mine where he was caught in a roof lfal while snoring up an out cropping. He had been a long time miner, holding miners papers. William Slusser who was injured in the same acci- dent, was discharged from Val ley Hospital a few days after the accident.
