SEOUL, July Tert of
the statement of President
Syngman Rhee as issued By the
South Korean Office of Public
Information:
In reply to questions sub
mitted to him by foreign cor
respondents, President Syng-
man Rhee today released the
following:
Question /: What is the
meaning of the heavy attacks
launched by the Chinese Com
muniSt troops against the
ROK (Republic of Korea)
troops just when it appears
that a truce is near?
Answer: The meaning is
clear if we keep in mind the
fact that the Communists are
aggressors and their aim is
not peace but conquest.
Through these attacks they
want to accomplish two things:
First, they want to push
ahead as far as they can into
territory that is more advan-
tageous to them, so they will
be in a good position to renew
their aggression at any time
they choose. To those who
are at a safe distance it may
not appear to be very signifi-
cant to have a million enemy
troops entrenched just 40
miles from our capital city;
but we Koreans know very we'll
that the Communists have
not given up their intention
of conquering us and mean to
carry out their plan at the
first opportunity.
In the second place, the at
tack has been launched for
psychological effects. They
want the world to know 1t is
not they who are tired of this
war and want to end it. They
are trying to make it perfectly
plain that the United Nations
are hurrying to get an armis-
tice as soon as they can, while
Communist armies, on the
other hand, are pushing the
war as hard as they can.
One of the principal pur-
poses of the Communists in
this whole war is to prove to
the people of both sides of the
Iron Curtain that two rela-
lively weak Communist Satel-
liteS are more than a match
for the entire United Nations,
even though the great and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-07-22

show our willingness to coop
crate with the United States
and we decided to postpone
our determination to get the
Chinese Red troops out of
Korea before the signing of an
armiStice. But this was a
conditional agreement. If the
United Nations does not con-
slider our desire for survival,
we cannot regard the under
standing as binding upon us.
Question 3: If the armistice
is signed what will be the ma
jor problem for Korea follow
ing the truce?
Answer: The major problem
is the withdrawal of the Com
munist Chinese aggressors
from our land. Real peace is
impossible So long as a million
foreign Communist invaders
remain in Korea. We have
agreed to postpone our efforts
while the United Nations I'M
dertakes, for a period of 80
days in a political conference,
to persuade these aggressors
to withdraw. After that, if
their efforts should fail, we
shall be at liberty to follow
our own course of action.
In this connection, I must
say that we have asked the
United States either to jointly
resume with us military opera
ton to accomplish our common
objective or to promise to give
us moral and material support
in our efforts to carry on our
fight unilaterally. I am in
formed that some Omitted
States) Senators have declared
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-07-22

the United States could not
agree to that.
The general belief is that
there is no hope of getting the
defense pact ratified by the
United States Senate before
the closing of the congressional
session this year. Meanwhile,
We are informed that Gen
William Harrison has accepted
in toto 10 items demanded by
the Communists at Panmun-
JON.
So you see. the more we try
to cooperate the more con-
fused we are getting to be.
However, we are still trying to
cooperate all we can.

1000 Chinese Reds
Hit South Koreans
AT Five Positions
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, July 22.-About 1000
Chinese Communists, attacking
along a one mile front. today hit
five South Korean positions in
the Kumsong bulge sector OF
Central Korea, scene of last
weeks big Red assault.
The 9th Army said three
prongS of the attack were beaten
back before dawn. But at the
other two points the Reds at
tackled again after being hurled
back. Last reports from the
front said sporadic fighting con-
tinued.
Elsewhere along the rain
soaked battlefront three dozen
or more small-scale fights flared
briefly in the pre-daWn darkness.
BOmberS Pound Reds.
Allied fighter bombers flew
through heavy clouds and driz-
cling rain and dropped nearly
100000 pounds of high explosives
on Red frontline positions in the
Kumsong bulge area. the 5th
Air Force said.
Radar- equipped B-26 bombers
maintained their round the
clock pounding of Red battle
front positions with night and
daylight attacks, the Air Force
said.
Other B-26s dropped $4,000
pounds of explosives on a Com
munist railroad yard at
HWangju.

powerful United States is
engaged in the fight.
If they can make this inter-
probation seem reasonable to
their victims, and their dupes,
they have won a tremendous
psychological advantage. AS
we all know, in the cold war,
the appearance of victory can
be as important as victory it
self.
If the Communists can make
such attacks upon us without
in any way disturbing the ar
rangementS for a truce, how
much aggression will we have
to endure after the truce is
signed? This is a question that
must be answered.
Question 2: The Communists
have published reports that
they have been assured the Re-
public of Korea will honor the
armistice and will withdraw all
It's troops from the battlellne
when a truce is signed. Is this
true?
Answer: Some press reports
indicate the Republic Of Ko-
rea has completely surrendered
all of our terms for an armi-
stice and will honor it at all
costs. According to our under
standing with Mr.. Robertson
we will not sign the truce but
we promise not to obstruct it
provided he could confirm
after his return to Washington
the understanding we reached
with him. I do not believe re
has quite done so and we are
waiting to hear from him.
We have done our part to

In Negligence as a
City, HoIfzoff Rules

The United States must OBJ
serve the same high degree of
liability in negligence cases as
must the District. Federal Judge
Alexander Holtzoff ruled yester-
day.
Veteran attorneys believe it is
the first time the doctrine had
been spelled out in this jurisdic-
tion.
Judge Holtzoff'S ruling came
as he awarded a total of $500
damages to woman injured
when she fell over a broken
curbstone on Constitution ave-
nue. near Twenty-first street NV.
Suit was brought against the
Federal Government, since it has
control of that section of the
avenue through the National
Park Service.
Assistant United States At
torney Robert Scott argued that
although the law holds a munic-
ipality such as the District to
a high degree of liability, the
Federal Tort Claims Act holds
the United States liable in the
same degree as a private individ-
ual.
But Judge Holtzof said: "Mu-
nicipal corporations may be con-
sidered as a private individual" /"
So, he said the liability of the

Politics is a strange thing Republican president is elected to lead country and year later political ed dies backwater into small town like Kodiak.
 Politics decrees that minor political jobs be filled by of the right party So in Kodiak group of 26 registered Republicans select candidates to fill the commissioners position
 Two hundred and fifty other persons however realizing that such job presently filled properly, have signed petition king that Mrs Anna May Vokacek be retained in the job she has filled capably for the past five years
 Surely, of these 250 there must be than 26 who are Reoubcans And surely hope the word of 250 will carry weight with the Hon. M. L. McCarrey than tha the registered Republicans who number few.
 Mrs Vokacek has been with the district court since September l929 when she hired under Republican ad mnistraton deputy clerk Anchorage Two years later she became chief deputy clerk and held that job until l946 wh she to Kodiak In 1948 she named comms- soner here.
 Mrs. Vokacek's qualifications for the job are well enumerated in the letter adjoining column, and the for keeping her in it well listed in the petition which is quoted on page of this weeks Mirror.
 We only add our voice to the many and ask Judge McCarrey to heed the that the present commissioner be retained regardless of her politics or hs J.C.

 l This letter has to do with your report of the latest politi- cal gymnastics of the local re- publican party featured on the front page of last Saturdays MIRROR.
 The local republicans wish ] for some unknown reason to appoint a new commissioner. ! Why?
 We have in the present com missioner a person who has lent great dignity to that of. ] flee. We have in the pesent 1 commissioner a person with a great deal of legal experience and possessing an envious Knowledge of the law. And we have one who has been the personification of judicial de- corum. Surely all those things place her among the highest, if not the highest, among the most capable commissioners throughout the territory.
 The administration of jus tice carries with it great re- sponsibility. The commission CTS duties daily take her into the very homes of many Ko- diak citizens Her conduct and dispatch and judicial fairness in handling all of these prob lens in all of their ramifica- tions has been a great source of pride to all of us. Why then suggest taking it out of her known capable hands and give it to someone who will initiaily be absolutely unac- quainted with the thousand and one details synonymous with that office?
 i As brief as it's political con- trol may be the local republi- can party has great responsi- bility of its own. MT. and Mrs. John Q. Public are going to judge it by it's initial machina- tions. If this is an expression of their ideas of improvement in the commissioners office then the result of thelr de- Alterations is something that a lot of us aren't going to swal- low easily and without squawking to high heaven. ' l wish to make no comment on the qualifications of the suggested nominee for that office. He is, and has been, my friend. My disappointment with him lies in the fact he did not take his own ego in hand at the time of his nomi- nation and back away from it in the face of a predecessor who was meeting all of the qualifications, and more, of that office.
 Uh-uh. MT. and Mrs. Re- publican who endorsed this proposed change, you're not going to get away with this one without a battle. You've got a tiger by the tail.
 Very sincerely yours, ] Buck Hoylman
