SynQnon Rhee Returns Home
Woodrow Wilson Once Referred to ROk President
AS Future Redeemer Of Koreo's independence

The key to American policy
In the Far East Is q recognition
that things viii not soon
change In that area and that
strong allies are indispensable.
It Is essential, therefore, that
friendly relations between
Japan and Korea be estab-
lished and this may prove
possible If a regional defense
pact Is some day developed IN
which Japan can play an
important military part.
But the emphasis of the hour
Is on ways and means Of re-
constructing Korea. The visit
OF the President Of the Repub-
lie Is opportune because the
Geneva conference revealed all
too clearly that the Commu-
nists have no intention Of
agreeing to the unification Of
Korea. More than tWo-thirds
OF the population is In South
Korea and. II the republic is
strengthened, it may In due
time exercise a big influence
on the people Of North Korea,
who silently watch the Red
Chinese take steps virtually to
annex the northern territory.
Since patriotism runs deep
among the Korean people, the
Red China government cannot
be relieved Of the burden Of
policing that area and keeping
large bodies Of troops there
q circumstance which some day
will be Of vast Importance If
the people of China rise up in
a liberation movement. At that
moment will come also the
chance for North Koreans to
regain their liberty, too.
Syngman Rhee comes here
to work out a program Of eco
nonnic reconstruction on which
the United States has promised
to help. The emphasis of his
mission is on peaceful effort
a change from the days when
it was being predicted that
Syngman Rhee would "go it
alone" For he has learned to
put his faith In the sincerity
and wisdom Of the American
Government and In the con-
viction that 1t will never let
him or his country down.

Syngman Rhee, president Of
the Republic Of Korea, has
come back 'home" - for In
this country he spent 80 years
Of his exile after seven years
In q japanese prison.
He is a world figure today.
but few of us knew him as
we sat on the same platform
to receive degrees at Princeton
University In June, 1910. He
had studied there for a doc
torate and had majored in
international law and Ameri-
can history. Previously he had
received a master of arts de-
gree at Harvard and his first
academic degree at George
Washington University.
Curiously enough, while stud
ying at Princeton, young
Rhee became acquainted with
Woodrow Wilson, then the
head of the university, who
often introduced him to
friends as "the future re-
deemer of Korea's independ-
ence."
Few men In modern history
have fought so long and so
bravely for the independence
of their native land. Associ-
ated as he was with the work
of the Presbyterian Board Of
Foreign. Missions in Korea.
the youthful patriot strove
constantly as a speaker and
as a writer to interest the
people Of this and other coun-
tries In the future of Korea.

Refusal to Demand Thot Our Allies Meet Us at Least
Part Way Is Blamed for Sudden Loss of Prestige

According to usually we'll
informed quarters. the deser-
tion Of DR.. Otto John. head Of
West German security. was not
an act Of actual treason but
the sequel of q series Of devel-
opments which convinced him
that by going over to the East
German government he could
best serve his fatherland.
Dr., John was pro-ally only
insofar as he believed that the
country could become great
once more through our assist
ance. American and other in
telligence personnel In close
contact with him reported that
he had become morose and
worried last winter soon after
the Big Four Berlin confer
ence was postponed to make
way for the Geneva parley. He
was among the first Germans
to suspect that Geneva would
be another Munich with Molo-
tov playing the Hitler role. It
was at that time, according to
some Of his contacts. that he
started his plans to 60 over to
the East German side II his
premonitions were fulfilled.
It is interesting to note. as q
confirmation of this specula-
ton, that DR.. John actually
crossed into East Berlin within
"a hours after the Geneva
truce" was signed and the
Communists sealed their most
spectacular victory over the
western powers in the nine
years of hot and cold war.
The "Dr. John affair" is re-
garded not as an incident. 1t

Gen. De Coursey said autopsies

studies of later tests on animals,
have resulted in development OF
a drug which has made animals
resistant to atomic radiation.
In addition, he said it had been

There are times when you
might feel you are about to walk
into a "social-trap." For smart
you this need be no worry if you
Cd apply general rules for good
etiquette, CO trust your own
judgment, CD preview awkward
situations that could happen to
you. Then you won't feel trapped
by the unexpected.
For a booster course" on
poise, confidence, go through
these problems reported by teen
ayers. Answers are guide-lines
to help you decide the thing
to do.
THE UNWANTED CHECK.
You. and your date are invited
to join a crowd you don't know
well. at dine-and-dance place.
You two order light. Some of the
others order as if they were
about to inherit a gold mine
from a long-loSt uncle. All are
away from the table, dancing,
except you two. when the waiter
brings the check to you.
Should you. boy: Pay for all,
hope to collect later? Direct the
waiter to the boy who seems to
be the leader or "big spender"?
No! Let the check rest until
others return to the table, then
offer to pay your share. Or ask
for your check, pay it then, if
you expect to leave ahead of the
crowd. Booster: To ask for q
separate check is the correct an
Swer for any problem about ex-

on date or special occasion, she

others will be drawn to them:
ST don't seem to know how

to improve my personality, but
don't seem to know how to go
about it. I've always been taught
to be modest-possibly even a
bit reserved. When I try to put
on an ELUSIVE cordiality, I feel
foolish. But surely there are
satisfactory ways for a girl to
increase her popularity"
Yes, there are, Amy, and they
don't call for putting on" any
thing. Popularity has to come.
from within, and young men
need to develop it just as much
as do young women. I get plenty
of letters from men who. it is
clear, are the kind to whom

iastically, Let's go some place
where we can each be alone"
Psychologist Merle e. Bonney
made some interesting studies
of popularity and learned that
it is not dependent on a high

by trying to be friendly. Pop
