South Korea Pleads With u. S.
For A-Weopons, Rhee Says

Soviet and, also. q sufficient
number of British subjects
have already Joined communism.
Those people like Winston
Churchill must get the votes to
stand against communism. If
they don't, there won't be any
thing there.
80 many French people are
already on the Communist side.
(Gen. Charles) De Gaulle alone
was considered really anti-Com-
munist."
Finds Gas Locked Up.
Mr.. Rhee said, without giving
dates, that South Korea had
planned to move against the
Communists in the north since
the armistice was signed q little
more than a year ago, 'but when
we were ready to move up, we
found our gasoline drums were
all locked up"
Asked who had done that, Mr..
Rhee replied: "1hose who have
the right to control that. The
United Nations, the Americans,
but whoever it is, they began to
ration the ammunition to three
days use each time.
Mr.. Rhee said Chinese Nation
aliStS on Formosa "are willing
to go over on the mainland
and start some fighting, but
the United States does not allow
that" He said that last winter
they were ready and they asked
for some amphibious equipment,
but they didn't get any," l
Wants to Resume Fight.
His own government, Mr.. Rhee
continued, wants to resume
fighting with the Communists in
the north, but American officials
"say we're in peace" and he
added:
80, whenever the Commu-
niSts, our enemies. want to come
in and take over, we have to let
them do it. That's the idea"
He said he thinks President
Eisenhower lis trying all he can
to solve this problem, but Amer
lean officers think that we should
not resume the fighting now be-
cause this would precipitate
World War III"

President Syngman Rhee says
South Korea is crying" for
atomic weapons from the United
States to help it drive the Com
munists from the northern half
of Korea.
In a copyrighted interview
with the magazine U. S. News
and World Report published to-
day, Mr.. Rhee also declared that
Britain and France are not anti
Communist nations, and that the
United States is restraining him
and Chang Kai-shek from fight
ing the Chinese Reds by with
holding support.
Reiterating that South Korea
can drive the Communists from
the northern half of the penin-
sula, Mr.. Rhee said. however,
that he is asking the United
States ito give us naval sup
port and air coverage" as well
as assistance in doubling the
650.0O0-man South Korean
Army.
Views Expressed Here.
During the interview, granted
during the 79-year-old South
Korean leaders, recent visit to
Washington, this exchange oc-
Cured:
@. Would the atomic bombs
be useful in such a war against
the Reds in North Koreal?
Rhee: I told your people:
you'll never dare use the
atomic bombs if you have them
piled up like a mountain"
Q. Why?
Rhee: They are afraid.
@. Could you use them in your
army?
Rhee: We are crying for it.
@. You mean for artillery?
Rhee: If we had bombs they
would be useful.
Celebrating on his assertion
that Britain and France are not

HONG KONG, Aug. 9.-From
this Far East vantage point it

thread of peaceful co-existence. /"
bangles over the happily little
Kingdom of Thailand.
When communism was estab-
lished in Indo-C China through the
settlement at Geneva, Thailand
became the next target by geo.
graphical position.
The question was: What in
strument would the Reds use on
Thailand. a country that has
never been a colony. is not over
crowded. is generally prosperous,
is cordial to the West, and has
outlawed communism?
The answer came quickly in
the person of Pridi Phanaomyong.
Who is Pridi Phanaomyong?
If you combed through Thai
lands leftwing nationalists for
a counterpart of Indo-C -China's
Moscow-trained Ho Chi Mimi,
you would come up up Pridi.
Considered a Champion.
Pridi was suspected of moth
ing more sinister than being a
liberal-minded reformer. Peo-
pie considered him a champion
of Thailand, a foe of corruption,
and Socialist. But a Commu-
mist? Never!
That's what they used to say
of Ho Chi Mimi.
Pridi, educated in France, has
been a Thailand Socialist for Is
years. He assumed much direct
power after participating in one
of Thailand's many coup d'etats
in the early 1930s.
Pridi became Premier for a
while after the war. He stepped
out in favor of friends and fol-
lowers because he preferred to
WELD his power from behind the
scenes. A coup d'etat in the late
1940s drove him underground.
Many sincere people thought it
q great tragedy.
His disappearance was COM
plete. When the Reds took
China. reports put him in Shang-
hal. But his Thai friends usually
rejected the reports because they
persisted in believing he was not
Communist.
Softening- Up Needed.
Then came Geneva, bringing
the Communists into Southeast
Asia. The Red River delta in
Wet Nam became the advance
post for propaganda, infiltration
and conspiracy. Thailand must
be softened up.
Who appeared on the scene?
Pridi. He had been in Red China
all the time.
Using all the stock Red cliches,
Pridi reappeared by acclaim
ing-in the Peiping Peoples
Daily and on Peiping radio-the
great victory of Geneva"
'Thailand is still under the
control of the United States i'm
perialiSts and the reactionary
regime of (Premier) Pibulsong-
gram" he said. "Thailand is a
base for aggression, threatening
peace and creating world tension
This will bring disaster to the
Thai people.
"The United States imperial
lists and the reactionary govern
ment are doing their utmost to

tween the people of China, Thai
land. Wet Nam. and the whole
worlds peace-loving people.
Only by peaceful co-existence
with the worlds democracies can
Thailand hope to maintain her
independence and integrity. In
order to counteract the tension
and misunderstanding created by
United States imperialists, Thai
land must befriend the Chinese
Peoples Republic and Wet
Nam democratic republics and
peoples democracies every
where. !.
He called for a struggle against
PibulSonggram and United
States imperialism"
Thus spoke the new Pridi, the
man so lately hailed by his own

countrymen as a non-C Commu-
mist fighter against corruption.
He still commands a following in
Thailand among the solid citi-
zens and would be hastily pressed
into leadership by the Thai
underground Communists, who
many believe number a few
hundred thousand.
Like the Panchan Lama in
Tibet, like Ho Chi Mimi in
do-China, like Kim II Sung in
North Korea, communism has
found in Pridi ready-made,
native spearhead for conquest,
a spearhead whom many West
erners, including Americans, in

HammarskjoId Says
World Destruction
Danger Spurs U. n.
BY the Asseeiossd Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 9.-The United Nations
chief executive said today that
the organization still falls short
of its goals but that the threat
of world destruction must spur
it to work for cooperation.
Making public his 1953-54 re-.
port to the General Assembly,
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold said in a foreword:
"Such an account confirms the
diversity and scope Of the efforts
by the governments of members
to develop effective international
cooperation through the United
Nations. It is also a reminder of
the wide gap between purpose
and achievement"
Partly to blame, Mr.. Ham
marskjold said. is the world It
self:
"At present the organization
is severely handicapped by the
fact that it has to function in a
world where the necessity of CO.
existence is as yet not fully
recognized. But this is, in itself,
an additional and compelling
reason for doing everything pos
sible to strengthen the United
Nations. The increasing danger
of destruction will sooner or
later force us out of a system
Of balance Of power into q sys-
tenn Of truce and universal in
ternational cooperation"
Truce Work Praised.
Mr.. Hammarskjold praised the
fact that big powers conferred in
Geneva and won an Indo-C China
truce. But he cautioned that
meetings, no matter how worthy,
outside the U. N. structure will
weaken the U. N. and make it in
effective
He deplored a logjam he said
has kept half the nations of
Europe among many others out
side the U. N. Russian vetoes
have blocked the Communist
applicants, western opposition,
the Soviet satellites.
Arab Peace Outlook Dim.
Other gloomy observations in
cluded these:
There is no chance now for an
Arab-Israel peace in the Middle
East.
No solution has been found to
fluctuations in raw material
prices.
The Disarmament Commission
failed Ito register even modest
progress toward agreement" Un-
relenting efforts are more ncces-
sary than ever because of the
destruction new war will bring.

the seas and planned eventually
to come here, only a compare
lively few millions actually came,
for it takes great deal of cour-
age to tear oneself up by the
roots and trek to a foreign land.
The commies failed to take into
account that those immigrants
who actually came were those
who not only wanted freedom
and opportunity but who had
the intestinal fortitude to reach
for it. They had the real pioneer
ing spirit that was so necessary
to assist in developing the United
States of America. They were the
strong, the courageous, the in
telligent of the country from
which they came-not the weak
lings, the fearful and the unin-
telligent.
They contributed largely to the
building of what has become the
greatest citadel of liberty and the
greatest civilization the world
has ever known-a nation whose
citizens have achieved standard
of living heretofore undreamed
of. The rosy reports these new
comers had heard about this glor-
ious land, they found to be no
exagerations. they came-thssa
saw-they worked-they partt
pated in the good things-and
were satisfied.
That is why the Reds have
failed to arouse even spark of
interest among most of our citi-
zens of foreign ancestry. Blood
will tell. These people are the di-
rect descendants of the strong,
heroic and mentally acute of Eur
ope. Yes, indeed, there, is some
thing to heredity, especially
when it takes root in good soil.
The courage which inspired their
forebears to come here to Amer
| lea is now reborn and relives in
them-they are not in the market
for any ism" but good sound
| Americanism.
That fact is too much for the
small minds of Malenkov, Molo-
tov, Vishinsky and their pals to
grasp-but it does explain their
great unsuccess in trying to ped
die Communism to our Ameri-
cans of foreign lineage.
