Rheefs Quiet, Niennese Wife

Chance Dinner Dote

In Korean History
By jones {. Roper

A vivacious, dynamic Austrian
woman is a secret power behind
President Syngman Rhee of
South Korea.
She's the wife Of the tough.
swashbuckling warrior states
man. You don't see her often,
and you don't hear much about
her.
But the comparatively young
Mrs. Rhee supplies much OF the
drive that has given her 79-year-
old husband his diplomatic and
political power.
Mrs. Rhee, who will arrive in
Washington tomorrow with Mr..
Rhee for a state visit, met her
future husband by chance. It was

Head Waters Influence.
She was dining at the Hotel
de Russie with her mother. the
wife of a well-to-do Viennese
iron merchant. The head waiter
placed Mr.. Rhee at the same
table.
Mr.. Rhee was in Geneva on
one of his trips to promote
Korean independence from the
Japanese. To his surprise, he
found that the pretty girl at
his table-her name was Fran
cesca Donner-knew all about
the problems Of Korea and had
read articles that Mr.. Rhee had
written.
The course Of diplomacy took
Mr.. Rhee back to the United
States, but Miss Bonner came
to America to marry him. The
wedding was in Ne wYork, Oc-
tober 8, 1884.
They lived in Honolulu and
later in Washington for some
years while Mr.. Rhee promoted
Korean independence and tried
to get himself recognized as the
head Of the legitimate govern
ment of the country.
Koreans are known as the
Irish of the Orient" and Mr..
Rhee pursued his goals with
fanatical stubbornness, but he

THOSE 1856 SHIPS

The government Of the Soviet Union has apparent
ly moved closer to agreeing to return 1876 naval craft
sent them by this country under the LendLease pro-
gram during World War II. After many years Of
fruitess note exchanges, the Soviet Ambassador in
Washington informed the State Department several
weeks ago that representatives of the U.S.SR would
agree meet representatives of the United States for
discussion of technical questions connected with the
transfer of 1856 naval craft
In one Of the Soviet notes in the current exchange
the Russians pointed out that they had returned to
the United States three icebreakers q frigates,
ankers and dry cargo vessel and that Russia agreed
to return 1856 naval vessels. This admission was
at least putting the Russians record as obligated
to return these vessels to the United States.
If this indication proves accurate appraisal,
the Russians preparing to remove Of the rritat
ing obstacles in the way Of better relations between
the two countries All Americans who know the facts
have bitterly resented the Russian refusal to return
these ships 1t has been nine years since World War
II and the refusal to return vessels rightly owned by
the United States throughout this long period is one
of that governments most fragrant and open viola
tons Of law and treaty.

drop on many of these goods al

Quick House Approval Forecast
For Billion Dollar Sales Tax Cut

WASHINGTON, R - Speedy
and overwhelming House approx
al was forecast Thursday for a
bill to cut a wide range of excise
or sales taxes almost one billion
dollars.
But the bill, okayed by the
Ways and Means Committee over
opposition by the Eisenhower adj
m1nlstratIon, threatened to set off
a storm in the Senate over an
other issue.
Sen. George D-G0 said he
might move to tack onto the ex-
else tax measure-When it hits
the Senate-his controversial pro-
posal to increase individual in
come tax exemptions and thus
lower taxes, particularly for low
income families.
The administration argued that
the government cannot afford
now such broad and sweeping
revenue reductions as are pro-
vided in the bill to cut to 10 per
cent all excise taxes now above

DEATH SENTENCE

The year 1858 passed into history the blacklist

to a single American shipyard. Meanwhile foreign
yards "buzzing with activity" Meanwhile, our
existing merchant fleet built at high cost during the
war emergency and largely obsolete carried less
than so percent Of our own foreign trade
This is the background against which the Randall
Commission presented its recommendation that the
determination of the active merchant fleet require
ments of the US. take account of the availability
Of foreign vessels and Of the Importance of their
dollar earnings from shipping services
In other words" says Louis E. Wolfson board
chairman Of New York Shipbulding Corporation "for-
eign credit first then American welfare American
standards Of living, American business"
Baeically, the question for the American people
to consider is whether not it is now time to start
looking to our own interests-on the sea as we'll as

get moneys worth; again. for the third time
build eXtravagantly after the chips down.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALvERSON

The reason why the mean sun
and the real sun seldom cross the
meridian together is that the orbit
in which our earth travels around
the sun is an ellipSe.
In winter, when the earth is at
perihelion or closest to the sun,
the earth is attracted by the sun
with greater force SO that our
movement is accelerated or in
creased. At perihelion we are
100000 miles closer to the sun,
50 that our movement along the
orbit is swiftest about the first of
January.
Our movement is sloWest about
July LIST when the earth is at
aphelion or the greatest distance
from the sun.
In 1919, Kepler discovered the
laws concerning planetary motion.
He stated that the motion Of the
radious VICTOR, or the line joining
the planet to the sun, is such that
it sweeps over equal areas Of the
eIlipse in equal times.

Neglected. Horse Found
Dying From Starvation
OiUner's Cruelty
To 4-Year-OM
Stallion Told

A sordid tale of a mans
cruelty to dumb animals
reached The Citizen today.
It's the story Of Rusty, a
four-year-old stallion in the
last stages of starvation be-
cause his owner neglected to
care for him properly.
Rusty's plight was brought to the
attention of Humane Society agent
Fred Henning two days ago by a
group of small boys. The horse is
tethered in a vacant lot near Roose-
welt Blvd. His condition, Henning
says, made it obvious that he had
not been fed for at least two
weeks.
Henning has an idea who owns
the horse and there is a very good
possibility that the man will re-
ceive a stiff Jail sentence for his
action.
ofi.er Failures Here
And Humane Society officials say
that there are a lot of other horse
owners in Key West who face trou-
BILE unless they begin to care for
their animals properly.
In case of Rusty, Henning said
that unless they can find an own
er who will care for him properly,
he will probably have to be shot.
