us. Relations
With South
Korea Strained
BY MURRAY BRONSON
and GENE KRAMER

SEOUL tR-U.S.-South Korean
relations are more strained now
than at any time since the critical
days Just before the armistice was
signed---and there are signs that
q Showdown may be near.
While refusing to discuss the stu
alton publicly, US. officials here
and in Tokyo have indicated in
private that American patience is
being worn thin by Korean grum-
bling over us. military and eco
nomic policies.
One responsible official said he
would not be surprised to see
President Syngman Rhee "Ten us
to get out OF Korea lock, stock and
barrel"
The time is drawing near, he
said, when the United States might
consider such an order a bluff
and call it.
A top us. diplomat told news
men that Korean officials have
roadblocks i'm the path Of a sue
cessful American assistance pro-
gram.
Korea had insisted for a year
or more that it should take over
the spending Of aid funds. But two
other problems appear to be the
source of recently mounting ten
sion:
/. South Korea refuses to accept
the new U.S.. military strategy of
redeploying ground and air forces
for instant retaliation in the event
of a Communist attack anywhere.
2. South Korea insists on re-
naming almost wholly aloof from
Japan, her closest neighbor in the
Western camp.
ROK generals have accused the
United Stat#s of "hesitating to
give us the minimum weapons of
self defense. Other officials have
charged that the United States is
abandoning their country to the
Communists by withdrawing four
infantry divisions and some air
units.
US. military experts argue that
the redeploysnent is necessary to
provide mobility. Gen. John E.
Hull, U.N. land us. Far East
commander, and Gen. Maxwell
Taylor, 9Th Army commander,
have assured South Korea that it
will not be abandoned.
After 40 years as a japanese
colony, Korea is determined not
to become tied to Japan economi-
cally or militarily.
The United States, committed to
help both nations, would like to
see undevelaped Korea buy con-
sumer goods from japan. 1t would
save Americ an dollars. But South
Korea refuses to buy from Japan.
There ha We been indications
Washington has adopted a new
get tough policy for South Korea.
If it should be necessary. And it
is a fact that negotiations for a
vast new military aid program
have been shifted from Washington
to Seoul-to be handled by US.

scene all along.

Nixon Calls
"Irllrrlanis1ll"
Campaign Issue
BY Al poPklNe

81 LOUlS N-Vlce President
Nixon singled out what he called
Trumanism" here last night as
the big 1854 campaign issue.
He called on the same voters.
Republicans, Democrats and in
dependents, who sent President
Eisenhower to the White House in
1852 to 60 back to the polls and
give him another Republican Con-
gress in November.
In a speech at a $1O0-a.plate Re-
publican fund raising dinner, Nixon
said the issues now were the same
as they were in 1852.
The issue, he said, is the Essen
hover record versus q return to
Trumanism."
On a 31-state campaign tour he
said he was waging for the sole
purpose of helping elect a working
Republican majority in Congress
In the Nov. 2 general election, the
vice president intensified his criti-
cism of the Truman administration
In his swing across the former
presidents home state of Missouri.
He said "a million citizens voted
in 1852 by the greatest majority
In American political history to get
rid Of the mess" under the Tru.
man administration, a mess he
said was made up of Korea, COM
munism, controls and corruption.
He said in its first 20 months
the Eisenhower administration had
made big strides in Cleaning DIP
the mess in Washington but there
is a lot more to be done on the
constructive side"
Applauded frequently by some
800 OF the party faithful who
staged a flag waving demonstra-
ton before he began to speak,
Nixon said that unless President
Eisenhower gets a Republican Con-
gress his program Twill be sty-
mied."
During the Eisenhower admins
tration, he said, both the war in
Korea and fighting in Indochina
has ended and "for the first time
in IL years the world in which
we live is at peace"
1.-The Truman-Acheson policy got
US into war;" Nixon said. "The
Eisenhower-Dulles policy got US
out of war"
The vice president said the gov
eminent is spending less money
in the field of foreign aid today
but despite the cut in spending
the nation is stronger militarily.
Nixon, who turned toward South
Dakota today where he speaks at
Huron tonight, said the Eisenhower
administration has cut IL billion
dollars from the federal budget
and as result gave the taxpayers
their biggest tax cut in the ma
tons history-74 billion dollars.
He added the Eisenhower ad.
ministration had taken effective
steps to kick Communists and Sc.
curity risks out of government
jobs without violating American
traditions. The threat of commu-
nism, he said, is no longer brushed
off as a "red herring"
Earlier. yesterday, Nixon spoke
at Nevada, Mo-, and Fort Scott,
Kan, before flying here in a char
tered plane.
The youthful looking vice presi-
dent appeared tired when he ar
rived at St. Louis late in the after
noon but by speech time his broad
smile. had returned.

Evacuation of
 Dien Bien Phu Wounded Proposed

GENEVA, R-Russia proposed today an immediate meeting of representatives of French Union forces and the Communist led Vietminh to discuss evacuation of wounded from Dien Bien Phu, the besieged French stronghold in northwest IndOchina.
 It also suggested that leaders of the Vietminh, who have fought the French for more than seven years, be invited to participate in the Geneva debate on peace in Indochina-along with represent atives of the United States, Brit ain, France, Russia, Red China, and the three associated states of Indochina m Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. With the exception of the Vietminh, the French have proposed the same list.
 Bidault had asked that the evacuation of Hundreds and hun dreds" of wounded from Dien Bien Phu be agreed before de- ciding on the nations which will participate in talks here on peace in Indochina.
 The rebels have denied a re- quest from the garrison com mander, Brig. Gen. Christian de Castries, for a brief truce to per init evacuation of the wounded.

BazOOka Shells At Calena Kill One And Injure Six

FAIRBANKS R-One service man was killed, another lost both legs and five other persons were injured seriously in two separate accidents involving dud bazooka rockets at Galena, Alaska, the Air Force announced yesterday.
 The first accident occurred Sat urday when three children enter ed an old bazooka firing range area. They picked up a dud rock ct in the snow and took it back to the village, there, they threw it against stationary objects until it exploded.
 All three children received wounds and burns over most of their bodies.
 Ladd Air Force base officials said the bazooka range is posted with warning signs which two of the victims were old enough to read.
 Four Air Force men were sent to the range Monday from Cam pion Air Force base at Galena to post additional warning signs around the abandoned range.
 After completing their work, one of the men located another dud rocket in the snow and took it back with him to the work party's vehicle The three-quarter ton weapons carrier had just started back to the base when the man dropped the rocket. It ex- ploded, injuring all four men ser iously.
 The three children were the sons of Charles Evans, a Civil Aeronautics Administration en- ploye at Galena. They were identified as Dick IA, John 10, and Allan 6. All are expected to recover.
