Eisenhower
Naive Says
Korea Paper

SEOUL, April 80 Pl.-The
semiofflcial newspaper Korean
Republic said today President
Eisenhower has shown "surpris-
ing naivete' and seems to have
gone too far in his quest of
peace"
The newspaper, subsidized by
the government of President
Syngman Rhee. criticized botn
Mr.. Eisenhower's willingness for
cease-f1re talks with Red China
and his exchange of letters with
Soviet Defense Minister Georgi
Zhukov.
1T almost appears as If pre-
occupation with the avoidance of
war had affected his usually
good judgment" the newspaper
said.
I'm the last few days." it said,
Mr.. Eisenhower has Contra
dicted his own State Department,
evoked sharp criticism from con-
gressional circles and displayed
surprising naivete about an ex-
change of letter with Marshal
Zhukov."
CThe papers reference to
the State Department was to
statement issued by Under
secretary of State Herbert
Hoover, jr., last Saturday
which ruled out any discus
sion with the Chinese Reds
unless the Chinese Ma
tionalists participated. Sec
rotary of State Dulles returned
from vacation and on Tues
day said cease-fire talks could
be carried on without the Ma
tionalists but he personally
would prefer talks through
the United Nationss
president Eisenhower. at
his Wednesday press confer
ence, said cease-fire talks
with the Reds would not af-
feet" the Nationalist and that
the United States would not
discuss Nationalist affairs be-
hind their backs. He also said
he approved the Dulles state
ment and that there might
nave been an error in
terminology" in the State De-
partment position expressed
Saturday by Mr.. Hoover.)
The newspaper called Mr..
Eisenhower's willingness to dis
cuss cease fire without Nation
allst China present as sheer and
amazing sophistry, considering
that it is spoken by one ally
about the vital interests of
Little wonder" it said, that
William Knowland, the Republic
can leader of the Senate, felt
lmpelled to issue a point by
point refutation."
The paper said that in cores
bonding with Marshal Zhukov
the President is falling into a
trap" because "if Zhukov wrote
a conciliatory letter he did so
only as part of (getting) con-
cessionS from the United States
and eventually to bring about
downfall"
Frankly, we think Mr.. Essen
hover is playing with dynamite.
His motives may be of the purest,
but his judgment is in error. He
IS risking the alienation of the
only real friends in the Far
East" the Korean Republic con-
Guided.

There's little excuse for resi-

Millions Spent Here
To Aid Recreation

Golf courses in the District
area have been hit hard by the
increased popularity of the sport.
Public and private facilities both
have been heavily taxed by the
growing number of enthusiasts
who play from dawn to dusk.
The majority Of the golfers take
advantage of the more than 20
privately operated golf and coun-
try clubs in nearby Maryland
and Virginia. A number of these
are open to the public.
On summer week ends about
5000 persons a day take advan-
tage of. .federally owned courses
at Langston. Anacostia. Dupont
Park, Rock Creek and East Po-
tomac Parks. Facilities also are
availa5 Die for miniature golf and
driving ranges scattered through
out tie Metropolitan Area.
Boating Is Popular
There is more than 100 miles
of shoreline adequate for boat
ing within the Metropolitan Area.
This includes the AnacoStia,
Potomac Rivers and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal. all Of
which are under the jurisdiction
of the National Capital Parks.
Dotting the waterfront are II
public and private clubs where
canoes, sailbos+s, Inwboats and
m torboats can be stored or
rented. Since The iIavigaole -ivers
and available docking space in
the immediate vicinity offer
limited possibilities for large
boats ana fishing, many District
yachtsmen are attracted to
Chesapeake Ray facilities.
Three types of cruise ships OPP
crate out of District hfrbor,.
Excursion and moonlight cruises
ON the Potomac River are run
daily in season and steamers
carry overni ght passengers and
their automobiles to Norfolk, Va.

muda also have legun operation

ated by The parks agency. TIE
