Take the first point. South
Korea has 20 divisions of troops
numbering about 100000 men.
Seoul wants to add 400, 900 more
men to match the million-man

Flying Housewife Discovers

A flying housewife, Mrs. Helen
J. Frye thinks that people who
feel that airplanes are hazards
don't know what they're talking
about.
Mrs. Frye, Washington depart
ment store employe and a first
lieutenant in the Civil Air Pa
troll, explains that airplane acci-
dents are like automobile acci-
dents-the machine stands up,
but the pilot, or operator, can
fall down on the job.
A resident of 5003 Fifty-third
place, Hyattsville, Md, she be-
lieves that a thorough knowledge
of air navigation and weather
will prevent accidents and she
thinks the public ought to IN
derstand light planes and take
an occasional ride.
"Most Relaxing"
"After working all day, flying
to me Is most relaxing, Mrs.
Frye says" All the tiredness dis

She and her husband, Kermit,

man for the Chesapeake 81 Po-
tomac Telephone Co., have a

Safety Measures
Urged During Fire
Prevention Week

District Fire Chief Millard II.
Sutton, in statement issued for
the start of Fire Prevention
Week today, said that citizens
should feel 'tcontrite and
ashamed at the thought that
80 per cent Of all fires could
have been prevented.
Last year. he said, more than
1900 persons died and more
than 1854 million in property
was destroyed by fire.
Chief Sutton suggested that
citizens observe these protective
measures.
/. Don't smoke in bed.
Q. Keep matches out Of chill
dren's reach.
8. Empty attics and Easements
Of papers and other combust-
ible trash.
4. Replace frayed light cords.
5. Don't use fuses OF the
wrong capacity.
8. Have heating equipment in
spected before cold weather.

Bar Unmarked Police Cars

A suggestion that unmarked
police cars be used to trap speed
ing drivers was turned down
yesterday by a member Of the
Arlington County Board and the
Commemorative Attorney of
Arlington.
The board, however, asked
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg to investigate a citizens
complaint that cars and buses
create a. hazardous condition
between North Kentucky and
Harrison streets on washington
boulevard by excessive speed.
The citizen had requested un-
marked police cars placed in the
area to trap speeders.
Board Member Robert A. Peck
and Commonwealth Attorney
William j. Hassan rejected the
unmarked cruiser plan, pointing
out that plainly Hnarked police
cars serve as a deterrent to
crime.

has been completely out Of line.
In 1948, for instance. the United
States was paying ten times as
much for wan as persons trading
on the black market. In effect,
this meant that the United
States army was paying five to
ten times as much for it's Serv-
ices as an individual would pay
and it meant that the United
States was giving the Koreans
a subsidy that Congress never
voted.
Hidden Subsidy.
Although the spread in the
official and black market ex-
change rates has been narrowed,
continuation of the 180 rate-or
even acceptance of a $50 rate
would mean prolongation of a
hidden American subsidy for the
Koreans.
The South Korean position,
however, is that accepting a rate
closer to the black market figure
of 600 would be putting South
Korea at the mercy of the black
market.
Aside from the exchange-rate
dispute, South Korea has two
general complaints against us:

ROKs say they don't like the
way much of the economic aid Is
being spent by us. They figure
they should have lot of fac
tories and harbors built already
with the money that the United
States contributed in past years.
They like the American pro-
posal that all procurement in
this program be made in nom
Communist countries. But they
want to go even further. They
insist on a requirement that no
procurement for the Korean aid
program be made in country
that trades with Red China or
North Korea.
/ Aimed at Japan.
The South Koreans bill this as
an expression of high principle
and super anti Communism. But
it also seems aimed at barring
the shipment of Japanese made
goods to South Korea.
Japan and Korea are tradi-
tional enemies. The Koreans
want no Japanese goods. Amer
ican officials, on the other hand,
are eager to build up Japan's
trade-and thus reduce the need
for American aid. American Of

When American and Korean
diplomats meet these days, they
politely smile-but they want to
snarl.
Blood pressures have been
mounting since July. when the
United States got set to increase
It's economic and military aid to
war-devastated South Korea.
We meant well, of course. But
Korean President Syngman Rhee
was in Washington at the time
and he looked our gift horse in
the mouth and wasn't satisfied.
The arguing hasn't stopped yet.
Increased Aid Planned.
The United States was ready
to give South Korea aid Of about
$7OO million this fiscal year
considerably more than a year
earlier. About $420 million Of
this would be in direct military
assistance; $3.50 million would be
in economic aid.
The United States also was
ready to reassert some of its
established policies-such as US
ing military forces to defend
South Korea against unprovoked
attack.
In return the United States
wanted the Seoul government to
do some things: Try to balance
it's budget, encourage private in
vestment, establish realistic ex-
change rates, keep the United
States informed about how Seoul
was using it's foreign exchange
and promise to spend American
aid money in non-Communist
countries.
Mr.. Rhee didn't accept this
package deal. Lesser represent
atives of the United States and
Korea argued about it here until
a couple of weeks ago. Then the
negotiations were transferred to
Seoul, with United States Am
bassador Ellis D. Briggs debat-
| ing personally with Mr. Rhee.
Result: Stalemate..
Exchange Rate Is Issue.
Many factors contribute to the
bitterness, but perhaps the great
est aggravation for both sides is
! the rate-of-exchange issue.
A goodly amount of money
more than 81 million a month
rides on the outcome of the
American drive for a realistic"
rate of exchange in South Korea.
The dispute arises from the
fact that United States forces
civilian and military-buys a lot
of services from Koreans. The
United States pays the Korean
individuals in wan, the local
currency.
The United States buys wan
from the Korean government at
the rate of 81 for 180 wan. On
the black market, however. q
81 bill would buy up to 600 wan.
So the United States feels that
it is getting short-changed when
it gets only 180 wan for its dollar.
And it has been buying about $4
million worth a month.
Payment Deferred.
Since July, the United States
has been drawing wan from the
Korean government, but not pay
ing for the currency pending ne
| gotiations over the conversion
rate.
When negotiators failed to get
together, South Korea served
notice that it would not turn
over any wan to the United
States after October /. The
United States said, in effect:
VERY we'll, then, we'll have to
fire all the Koreans now working
for U.S." This apparently made
the Seoul government reconsider,
because it has agreed to keep on
supplying the wan needed to
meet the United States "inl-
mediate" needs.
But the overall exchange
problem continues. South Korea
is fighting to continue q practice
that has reaped the government

U. 5. Officials Agree
On Plans 10 Extend
Rock Creek Parkway
New Alone Highway
To Include Bridge and
Tunnel Through Zoo

Federal park officials have
agreed on plans for the long
awaited extension of the Rock
Creek and Potomac parkway
through the Zoo. it was learned
yesterday.
At least part of the way
including a new creek bridge and
a tunnel through Zoo property
the extension will be designed
to handle four lanes of traffic.
AT present, the four-lane
parkway, winding along the Po-
tomac River and Rock Creek
dead-ends at a creek ford neai
the Calvert Street bridge and
leads directly to the Zoo. On
the otherside of the ford
closed by every sizeable rain--it
feeds into a two-lane Zoo road
Under the latest plans. the
parkway will veer to the right
shortly before reaching the ford,
cross the creek on new four
lane bridge. tunnel through a
rocky hill near the creek and
continue along the Zoos eastern
edge as a four-lane road as far
as. the Harvard street entrance
the Zoo
From there, the parkway
would pick up as a two-lane
road, skirting the eastern edge
of the Zoo, to merge with the
two-lane Beach drive just south
of Klingle street. just before
making this connection, Beach
drive crosses the. creek to its
eastern side via a second ford.
This plan is at least a partial
victory for officials who have
been urging extension of the
parkway as a four-lane road.
But as recently as early this
month. it was learned, park Of
ficials presented a plan showing
the bridge and tunnel extension
as only a two-lane roadway. This
fits in with the traditional think
ing of park officials that parks
are places for meandering, leis-
