U.N. Worried yRhee Threats
To Upset Arn1istice Plans

Mr.. Rhee's latest outbursts in
fer that, South Korea won't quit
fighting even If an armistice is
signed.
The ROK army now consists
of Is well-trained divisions and,
although it is much more for
midable army than South Korea
had when the war started "a
months ago, competent military
leaders feel it still wouldn't be
a match for the Communists
so long as the Chinese remain
in Korea.
Insists on March to Yalu.
Mr.. Rhee's stand is that an
Armistice will not guarantee
peace in Korea. He insists the
only way to end the war is to
unity North and South Korea.
The way to unity it, Mr.. Rhee
says, is to march to the Yalu.
The u. N. Command is trying
to convince him that it's purpose
in Korea was to halt aggression.
That means pushing the Reds
back Of the 38th Parallel, where
they started and where they are
now.
The proper way to unity
Korea, the UNC maintains,
is to follow an armistice with a
peace conference which would
specify proper elections.
On the surface, it would seem
there is little to worry about,
for the U. N. provides all of
South Korea'S munitions.
But the ROK Army, which
mans more than half the battle
line, could refuse to abide by
the rules OF an armistice. It
could refuse to withdraw across
the line of demarcation which
the armistice specifies. It could
attack with limited support
right at the moment an armis-
tice was being signed.
These are a few of the worries
the U. N. Command has to think
about right now and statements
from the ROK presidential
mansion in Seoul aren't exactly
helping things.

TOKYO, May 9.-The United
Nations Command is becoming
increasingly alarmed over threats
by President Syngman Rhee that
he will refuse to observe an
armistice in Korea.
Gen. Mark w. Clark, the UNC
supreme commander, conferred
in Tokyo today with United
States Ambassador to Korea
Ellis Briggs and Ambassador
Robert Murphy, political advisor
to Gen. Clark.
A source close to the UNC said
Mr.. Briggs, who has been guiding
United States diplomacy in
Korea for the last six months.
told Gen. Clark that recent
Spontaneous" d e m n strations
against a Korean truce were
sponsored by the Rhee govern
ment.
Two weeks ago in Seoul. sew
eral thousand young Koreans
paraded the streets of the former
ROK capital, bearing signs pro-
claiming "On to Yalu" and
"Unification!"
U. S. Embassy Stormed.
In Pusan recently, one youth
full crowd of demonstrators, car
rying similar signs, attempted
to push down the gates in front
of the United States Embassy,
but were halted by Korean po-
lice. -
Mr.. Briggs is known to have
protested the demonstration to
Mr.. Rhee himself.
It is understood that Mr..
Rhee said that irresponsible
elements in the crowd tested
the strength of the lock on the
United States Embassy.
Mr.. Briggs said it had better
not happen again.
The demonstrations the Rhee
government are staging, how
ever, aren't causing the UNC
as much concern as the state
ments the 76-year-old President
has been making in the last two
weeks.

KnowIand Suggests
Van Fleet Train Allied
Troops in Indo-China
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senator Knowland, Republican.
of California suggested today
that Gen. James A. Van Fleet
would make a good man to head
a United States military mission
to train native anti-Communist
troops in Indo-C China.
Senator Knowland, who heads
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee and is a member of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, said he does not believe Gen.
Van Fleets obvious differences
with Gen. Omar N. Bradley over
Korean policy should make any
difference on such an assign
ment.
Gen. Van Fleet, who led troops
in Korea for % months. has said
the war ought to be pushed to a
decision because, he maintains,
conditions there are more favor
able to the allies than to the
Communists. Gen. Bradley.
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. has said an all-out aggres-
sive move might touch off the
wrong war at the wrong time in
the wrong place.
Funds Earmarked.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has earmarked $400 mil
lion in proposed new foreign
aid funds for use in financing
the training. equipping and even
paying of troops fighting the
Reds in Indo- China.
This is in addition to $50
million in special aid Harold
E. Stassen, the Mutual Security
director, said yesterday has been
transferred to the French gov
ernment out of foreign aid
money. Mr.. Stassen said the
French would use the money
on their home finances, thereby
releasing funds for Indo-C China
use.
Mr.. Stassen's announcement
emphasizing the administra-
tion's concern with Indo-C China
was followed later in the day
by a Joint statement from Pres
ident Eisenhower and Prime
Minister Louis st. Laurent of
Canada.
Red Gestures in Doubt.
They declared that Red ag-
gression in Laos, the Indo-C China
state being invaded by Wet
Mimi forces, casts doubt on
Communist peace gestures else
where. The statement wound UP
two days of conferences between
Gen. Eisenhower and Mr.. st.
Laurent and their top aides.
1t said that although recent
developments in Korea "have
seemed more hopeful, neverthe-
less in Laos a new act of aggres-
sion has been committed which
might have serious consequences
for Thailand and the whole of
Southeast Asia"
"It. was agreed" the COM
munique added, 'that while
every effort should be made to
bring about a relaxation of cur
rent tensions, the free nations
could not afford to diminish their
efforts toward the achievement
of united strength and ability
to meet aggression.
Would Get Job Done.
Senator Knowland said he be-
IeveS that, while the French
might insist on retaining author
ity over the Indo- China training
program, he believes Gen. Van
Fleet could head a military mis-
sion which would actually get
the job done.
Before going to Korea Gen.
Van Fleet headed the United
States military mission to Greece.
In that job he helped the Greek
army win its warfare over Com

Wet Nam Premier
Looks for Red Peace
Move in Indo-China
BY the Assoeidted Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, May 8.
The Premier of Wet Nam, one
Of the three French associated
Indo- Chinese states, declared to-
day he believes the Communist
led Wet Mini rebels may soon
propose an armistice in their
seven-year-old war in Indo-
China.
Speaking in an interview, the
Premier, Nguyen Van Tam, de-
scribed such a move as very
possible" He added, however,
that he did not think any such
offer by the Wet Mini would be
sincere. ...
French sources say an armi-
stice offer would be q smart
move for the Wet Mini because
Of it's possible effect in slowing
the French war effort and dis
rupting promised American mill
tary aid. Wet Nam officials
frankly are frightened that rebel
chief Ho Chi Mini will grab at
the chance.
The Wet Nam Premier made
his statement as thousands of
Wet Mimi troops continued their
withdrawal from the little noun
tain kingdom of Laos, after over
running a third of the country in
a tightening .26-day invasion.
French bomber and fighter
planes harrassed the retreating
rebels but French and Laotian
land forces made no attempt to
pursue them.
French military sources in
Hanoi were convinced the Soviet
Union and Communist China
were behind the Wet Mini with
draWal. They believe the pull
back order was issued by Mos
cow and Peiping because the
rebel invasion of Laos had Gre
ated a storm of world protest
that embarrassed the recent
Communist Peace campaign.

CITY.-Among

linked more closely with Indian
history than Oklahoma. This
State used to be known as the
Indian Territory. There were
few white men in it until near
the close of the past century.
About 100 years ago, a move
ment of Indians started into the
Indian Territory. These Indians
belonged chiefly to five tribes
with their homelandS in South
eastern United States. The tribes
were the Creeks. the Choctaws,
the Cherokees, the Chickasaws
and the SeminoleS.
Some members of those tribes
failed to join their friends in 60
ing to this area, west of the Mis-
siSSippi. Many SeminoleS, for ex-
ample, stayed in Florida.
Later came Indians from vari-
BIS other parts of the Unit
States. These included Sacs k91d
