Few expect the American Con-
Igress to build South Korea into
|a junior grade United States. It
lis likely, therefore. that Amer
Iica's non-military aid will be
stopped in two or three years.
That will chop around $500 mil
lion OF the American taxpayers
bill.
But the $40O million plus drain
to maintain the Republic Of
Korea's military establishment
probably will have to continue
as long as the Communist threat
remains in the North.
For there is no denying that
South Korea stands on Americas s

Imitation Problem
Deficit financing has produced
an appalling imitation. however,
and it still persists. The cost
of-living index is now 10000
compared with 100 in l947. 1t
jumped 10 times from 1949 to
1851, another Is times from
1851 to 1852, and 40 per cent in
1858.
The pressure is still on. all
though American aid admins
traitors give President Rhee and
his economic advisers credit for
ID stout effort TO stem the adj
vance. Setting the exchange
rate at 500 hwan to the dollar
this summer set on q new furry
of activity.
Continuing government def
cts, large military expenditures,
reconstruction and expansion OF
industry. the low level of con-
|sumer goods production and the
scarcity Of imports - all these
leave prospects for early eco
|nonnic stability and self-suffi-
cheney less than bright.
Korean leaders are willing to
risk the imitation, however, II
they can just get money to build
basic industries and factories
that can produce consumer goods
quickly.
Too Chin Paik. the economic
|co-ordinator, told Undersecretary
of State Herbert Hoover, Jr., and
international Cooperation ad-
|ministrator John B. HOLSTER on
their recent visit to Seoul that
economic aid from America
ought to be doubled Ito an ag-
|gregate of about $500 million.
Korea s main complaint Is that
aid funds have been doled out
so slowly that most Of the money
has had to go for consumer goods
to sustain a tolerable standard
|of living. Korean economists
claim the country needs a COM
paratively large amount Of aid
money in one lump. so that a
significant portion can be used
flor capital investment.

Federal Judge Luther w.

declare the issue moot. Mr.
Rubinstein's death leaves
nothing to be decided by the

The Justice Department
had sought to deport the
financier on the grounds
that he had been convicted
In 1947 Of draft evasion.
Deportation had not been

This indicated that light bomb

The Nationalists have been

come If and when the United

ton Of Nationalist troops from
the Tachen Islands.
The Senate began the second
day of debate on President Eisen-
hower's request for authority
to use the armed forces to pro-
tect Formosa, the Pescadores and
other islands in that area In
friendly hands.
Senator Knowland said that II
the Communists attack the evac-
uation movement from the Tach-
ems. the question before the
Senate today is whether anyone
should expect the Navy to pursue
its attackers to the l2-mile limit
from the China coast and then
stop.
He was referring to proposed
amendments which would elirni.

Meanwhile. the two Senate
committees which approved the

report that the administration
doubts that Russia would inter-
vene In q showdown over For-
naosa.
The report from the Foreign
Relations and Armed Services
Committees admitted the possi-
biIity that II shooting starts. the
Chinese Reds might invoke their
defense treaty Of 1850 with Rus
sia, and said this is q calculated
risk. But the report added:
THE Executive branch indi-
Gated to the Joint COMMITTEES
that it very much doubts
whether the terms of the treaty
would be invoked even If further
difiiculties should arise between
the United States and Cora-

Senator Knowland told report.
ers the Nationalists have shown
they are able to protect them
selves on Quemoy and Matsu.
He recalled that in 1949, the
Chinese Reds landed two divi.
sions on Quemoy and lost the
entire force without dislodging
the Nationalists. He said the
only reason the United States is
considering the coyerage Of an
evacuation from the Tachens is
because they are so far north.
Chang Kai-snek cannot protect

Revised School Report Gard
To Use Letter Grade System
New Form Devised by Special Committee
Has Check-Mork EvuIuution Method

The District public school sys-
tenn today made public q new
elementary report card, reviving
letter grades abandoned in 1887.
A new report form expected
to go into use next September
also provides for detailed evalua-
tion of pupils by q check-mark
system. thus combining ira
ditional and more contemporary
methods Of reporting.
The new report card was de-
veloped by a special committee
Of parents. teachers and SUPER
visors, which worked for a year
and a half.
School officials had felt that
the present elementary report
card = which uses only "out-
standing progress" satisfactory
progress" and needs much inn
provemept" - was not giving
parents enaugh information
about their children.
Five Grade Levels.
The new grades viii be Ave
A for outstanding progress 3
for above-average progress. G for
satisfactory progress, D for be-
low-average progress and q for
Unsatisfactory progress.
A mark of A will mean that
a pupil is working much above
the level expected for his class
B win mean work somewhat
above class level. &c" work OF
expected quality, and ID" and
~" work below par.
Chief criticism Of the present
cards has been that they do not
rate pupils sufficiently in COM
parison with classmates, but
