Rhee TV Plea to Americans
Annoys Official Washington
Government Views His Action as Going Over
Its Head to People During Truce Joekeying

torials, the United States still
has a propaganda weapon to use
in Mr.. Rhee's own back yard.
Perhaps he feels that in max
ing films and recordings for use
in the United States he Is simply
retaliating.
But some officials here, in ad-
dition to being annoyed over Mr..
Rhee's apparent attempt to
undercut established United
States policy on the truce nego-
tiations, noted that Mr.. Rhee
was speaking out on a subject
still under negotiation. At least,
the United States still feels that
it is negotiating in good faith
with Mr.. Rhee.
Mr.. Rhee's action makes even
more tenuous the position of
You Chan Yang, the South Ko-
rean Ambassador to Washington.
Mr.. Yang has campaigned Wig
orously on TV, radio and the
lecture platform for his govern
ment's stand on the truce prob
lem. The United States Govern
ment considers some of his state
ments improper.
He's Certain to Go.
It's almost a sure bet that once
the Korean dispute eases, Mr..
Yang will leave Washington.
Perhaps friendly hint at a
cocktail party would persuade
Seoul to recall Mr.. Yang. The
United States would hate to
throw him out.
Washington has expelled only
two Ambassadors for interfering
in American affairs. The first
was British Ambassador Lord
Sackville lin 1888. In the midst
of a political campaign, he made
statement favoring the re-
election of President Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland, al
though the beneficiary of the
statement, declared Lord Sack
vile PERSONA non grata.
In 1915, the United States also
threw out Count Dumba, Am
bassador of Austria Hungary, for
aldlegedly inciting strikes here.

Senator Taft, Republican. of

gress to reject President Eisen-

thority to send Government-held
farm surpluses to friendly for

handling these surpluses. There

Senator Taft limited the White
House request may have been an
effort to separate the farm sur
plus problem from the $5.3 bill
lion foreign aid bill passed by
the Senate Wednesday.
Gen. Eisenhower asked broad
authority to use Government

other emergency relief to foreign
nations during the next two
years.

He asked the right to fix terms

paying the costs, including de-
livery, and said this should be
separate from the long range
military and economic assistance
program of the Mutual Security
Administration.
Republican chairmen of the
Senate and House Agriculture
Committees promised to hold
early hearings on the White
House request. But tentative
plans to adjourn Congress July
81 and powerful opposition to
the proposal indicate slight
chance for it's approval.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
OF Minnesota, tried to attack the
Eisenhower request to the for

but stirred up bipartisan oppo-
sltlon and was defeated.
Democrats generally blasted
the Eisenhower request as a

more than SO billion worth of
farm commodities now held by
the Government under its price
support program.

Western diplomats in Vienna,

believe Rakosi has been elimi-
mated as Hungarian dictator
premier because he was a friend
of the late Soviet Premier Stain.
Even though he still holds a
prominent place in the party
hierarchy, it is believed he has
lost much of his powers as one

whole new Kremlin policy. both

Wiping out the one-man dicta-

During the last days of Stains
reign, Rakosi was one of the few
high-placed Jews in the Com
munist world to retain his post
after the anti-Semitic wave that
stemmed from Moscow's attempts
to stamp out any Jewish SYM
pathies for Zionism or the state
of Israel.
Rakosi has had a long, bril-
liant and often violent career in
the Communist International. He
was a secretary to the Comintern
executive in Moscow at the age
of %. He returned to Hungary
to carry on illegal Red activities
and served a couple of long
prison terms on charges of mur-

one of the five Vice Premiers in
Rakosi's former cabinet.
Move a Formally.
Rakosi's government resigned
Thursday in the wake of Hun

cred largely a formality.
