Korea Unrest Keeps
Rhee From Accepting
Bid 10 Visit D. c.
BY the Assseio.sd Press

SEOUL. July 3.-President
Syngman Rhee said today he
cannot accept an invitation from
President Eisenhower to visit
Washington because there is a
certain unrest" in Korea.
The 79-year-old chief execu-
tive did not rule out q later
trip to the United States. how
ever.
Il honestly desire to fulfill my
long cherished wish" Mr.. Rhee
said in a statement. but, since
the failure of the Geneva con-
ference. the Korean people and
Republic Of Korea armed forces
have been profoundly affected
and naturally there is a certain
unrest"
. He did not elaborate on the
unrest.
Mr.. Rhee also is having diff
culties with South Korea's new
National Assembly. which this
week refused to confirm his
cabinet.
It was reported in Washington
yesterday that Mr.. Rhee had
been invited to make an official
visit to Washington for confer
ences with Gen. Eisenhower and
other officials on Korea's future.
The invitation was extended
after allied and Communist ne
gotiators at Geneva made no
progress in efforts to unity the
battered peninsula.
Mr.. Rhee long has contended
that Korea never can be unified
by negotiation and has called
on the United States and other
U. N. nations who fought in
Korea to join him in a march
north. United States officials
have said they will not reopen
the war to achieve unif1cation.
South Korea has a well-trained
army of 20 divisions.

that military aid to Turkey in
the IL months beginning July l
will be greater than that which
the Eisenhower administration
had recently planned. Delivery
Of a half billion dollars worth of
arms and equipment previously
programmed for Turkey also will
be speeded up.
The communique was issued
following Mr.. MendereS depar-
ture from Washington for An
kara. He had conferred here for
four days.
The communique said the
United States was aware that
Turkey is carrying a defense bur-
den which places a heavy strain
upon the resources of its country
and people," It added that
American assistance is necessary
to help it achieve the necessary
strength for the defense of the
free world as a member of the
North Atlantic Treaty. Organi-
zation.
Since there is no planned in
crease in the $3.5 billion overall
global request by the admins
tration to Congress. the new
agreement apparently means
that Turkey is getting a higher
priority by a reallocation Of
funds. Presumably some other
nations are getting a lower pri-
ority.
