South Korea AssaiIs
U. N. and U. S, Cites
Despair on Future
BY the Assceiofed Press

SEOUL, Jan. 8.-South Korea
tonight issued statement of its
problems with both the Com
munistS and the Japanese that
bristled with criticism of the
United Nations and the United
States and ended on a note of
bitterness and despair.
The statement, prepared by
the ROK Office of Public Infor-
nation, was described in it's
preface as the first of a series
that presents a highly authori-
tative point of view and is a true
expression of popular senti-
mentS."
Defends Rhee's Attitude.
The article said:
"The United Nations statesmen
have been busily and futilly
chasing the will-o'-the-wisp of
peace with an aggressor that does
not even understand the con-
cept."
President Rhee now faces re-
peated criticism for failing to
cooperate and for not modify
Ing his position. = the statement
said, but he cannot accept an
appeaSement of communism
that would doom his country.
ALSO terribly disillusioning to
Koreans is the United States at
titude toward Korean-Japan re-
lationS.
Charges SelI-Out.
1T is this blind attitude
toward Japan that has led
the United States to side against
Korea, country occupied by
Japan for 40 years, in its tenn
perate claims against the former
enemy"
The closing paragraph said:
If Korea is to be sold out by
her friend, as she was once be-
lore, the Koreans want to know
1t now-So they may have a
chance to sell out themselves if
they cannot save themselves"
Once before apparently re-
ferred to the truce terms, which
South Korea charged was ap-
peaSement and a Sell-out.

SceIba Forms Cabinet
But Chance Of Italian

BY the Assoeioied Press

ROME, Feb. 11.-Mario Scelba,
a tough anti Communist Sicilian.
gave Italy her fourth government
in six uneasy months last night.
But his chances of remaining in
Office in crucial days ahead
with only 16-vote majority at
best were regarded as slim.
Half a million workers went
on Commissioned general
strike in the northern industrial
state of Lombardy today, CUT
ting factory output and block
ing some transportation. The
strike was called for "a hours.
A three-hour strike of steel
and chemical workers was staged
yesterday at Genoa, La Spezia
and Savona along the Ligurian
coast.
The Reds also have threat
ened to spread their demonstra-
tons to the streets and squares
throughout the nation in protest
against the swearing in of Mr..
Scelba, who was one time riot
police boss.
Mr.. Scelba took into his pre-
dominantly Christian Democrat
cabinet four Social Democrats.
including the peppery Giuseppe
Saragat. and three Liberals. The
small Republican Party pledged
it's 5 votes, but would not come
into the cabinet. in which Mr..
Scelba is both premier and in
terror minister.
That gave Mr.. Scelba a 16-
vote majority in Italy's tumul-
tuous Chamber of Deputies.
whose Communist Socialist left
and Fascist Monarchist right
smashed down the last center
government in IL days.
Mr.. Scelba's first hurdle will be
on a vote of confidence in the
chamber. No date has been set
but it may come late next week.
Many observers said that even
if Mr.. Scelba survives the first
test. he would almost certainly
fall on any major issue such as
ratification of the European De-
tense Pact or action on Italy's
rising labor and economic prob
lens.
