Rhee Sees No
Peaceful Korea
.UnificatiOn
BY SPENCER DAVIS

WASHINGTON Up - President
Syngman Rhee of South Korea said
after a conference with President
Eisenhower today that he sees mo
possibility of unifying Korea by q
peaceful means"
Rhee made the statement to
newsmen after the opening of talks
with Eisenhower and other Ameri-
can officials on military and eco
nomic problems confronting parti-
toned Korea.
A reporter asked Rice whether
he and Eisenhower discussed the
possibility of resuming the war in
Korea. Without saying whether
that subject was taken up, the
South Korean leader replied:
1--WE see no possibility OF unifying
Korea by peaceful means" he
said. II think you all agree on
that"
Geneva Conference
Rhee mentioned the recent &C.
neva conference on the Far East
and the conference at Panmunjom
which led to the Korean armistice,
and asked:
What have they accomplished?
The only thing accomplished is to
see the Communist cause grow
stronger"
Asked whether Eisenhower
agreed with him that there can be
no peaceful unification of Korea.
Rhee smiled and said:
Il don't think l can answer
that"
Rhee described his talk with Fl.
senhower as Every interesting"
He referred to it as something
like a family discussion" and
added that neither he nor Eisen-
hover was trying Ito fight for his
own cause"

Korean President had set a blunt

day. He thanked the American
people for their aid but said there
would be no unification worries if
the Allies "only had a little more

munistS.

some people had little cold feet"

deducted.

SUIT GOES ON as YEARS

RALEIGH, N. C.-(P)-Although
all the original parties are long
since dead, the lawsuit in which
they become embrOiled 46 years
ago is still alive.
J. M. Lewis and wife filed the
suit in 1907 against S. w. Harris
and wife. The Lewises claimed the
HARNESSES had entered their proper
ty and removed timber valued at
$780, The defendants denied the
charge saying they owned part OF
the property.
The case dragged on until 1917
but there was no action from 1917
until 1858 when M. M. Banks ac-
CURED the Lewis property and re-
vived the case. He asked that
descendants of the HARNESSES be
made defendants, and got a court
order fOrbidding them to enter the
property.
Another judge decided it was
time to end the case and he dis
missed it. However, the State
Supreme Court recently gave it new
life by ruling that the Judge ex-
ceeded his authority.

Test Chemicals To
Control Brush Along
Drainage bitches

Strange as it may seem, they're
spraying brush in winter now.
There is a logical reason for this
Off-seasOn timing, according to DR..
Henry w. Indyk, research agrono-
mist at the University of Delaware.
Indyk is working on a project to
see which methods of chemical
brush control work best on the
banks of drainage bitches. This
consists of spraying various chemi-
Gals on test plots of hardwood trees
and pines.
I'm the winter or dormant season,
there is less danger of damaging
agricultural crops through wind
drifting the spray" the agronomist
explains.
The brush control is conferred in
the southern half Of the state, where
good drainage on numerous acres
of farm land depends on an extern
sive Open-ditch drainage system. A
right-Of-way along one bank of the
ditch is necessary to allow equip
ment to pass through for mainten-
aRce operations.
If brush isn't kept down, it can
Over-run the bank within five years.
The present means of controlling
plant grOwth-by axe and brush
hooks costly in time and labor.
Chemical control appears the
most effective method. The Della
ware project will test several brush
killers such as 2, AID, 2, 4, ST, and
GNU and Animate. These are being
applied tor plots containing pines,
naples, oaks, gums and shrubs. The
action of the sprays on the pines
will be noted particularly because
very little previous research has
been reported on these rapid-grow-
ing trees.
Various combinations of chemi-
Gals will be used in fuel oil and in
dry form on the soil surface. Re-
searchers will observe the relative
killing actions and the regrowth of
the plants after the initial killing.

MultifIOra Rose

Let's have the straight facts
on multiflOra rose, which we hear

ment we hear a lot, and it seems
there is a lot of INSTRUMENTATION
about this living fence shrub. It
is only human nature to think
/ twice about a shrub with thOrns,

We are mainly interested in null
tifiora rose as a living fence, wild
life cover and food, and erosion
control to prevent gUllies on slopes
from eating their way back into
cropland fields. Multifora rose. is
used on more American farms
every year, so there must be some
thing to this rose shrub.
( There is more than one type of
multiflora rose and the one we
speak of in this article is known
by the scientific name of Rosa Null
tlhOra. This is a vigorous, up
right, thorny shrub with reclining
branches about to IL feet high,
and about as wide as it is tall. The
foliage is similar to other roses.
Small, white flowers come out in
numerous clusters in May and
June. Pea sized, red fruit per-
sists throughout the winter.
MultifiOra rose was introduced
from China and has been used in
this country for many years as an
ornamental. 1t is used by rose
growers as a hardy rOOtstalk on
which to bud other ornamental va
rleties Of roses. Before multiflora
rose was introduced for soil con-
servation, wildlife, and erosion
control, it was experimental with

Most all plants will spread here
