The concern over what was
being termed in recent weeks
a potentially explosive situa-
ton in South Korea has now
abated somewhat.
Reports from Seoul, Pusan
and Taegu indicate that the
bulk of the students have
gone back to their claSsrooms,
leaving the conduct of the
government in more expe-
rienced hands.
The administration under
Acting President Huh Cheng,
after the inevitable hesita-
tion of the first days follow
ing the forced resignation of
President Syngman Rhee,
appears to have taken mat
ters in hand. Mr.. Huh has no
political ambitions and is
unlikely to accept any high
Office after the election. But
he is an intense patriot who
will do his best to keep Korea
on the right path during the
next few difficult months.
Our graveSt concern after
Mr.. Rhee's removal was the
Korean armed forces. Last
month Gen. Carter Magruder,
the Allied commander in
Korea who has the heavy
responsibility of fighting of
any Red aggression from the
north. felt compelled, because
of certain trends in the off,
GERS ranks of the ROK de-
fense establishment, to issue
a strong warning to the young
officers not to engage in any
personal vendetta because of
the political turmoil.
A number of high-ranking
and able ROK officers were
suspected by the students. be-
cause they were appointed by
Mr.. Rhee, of having particle
pated in the ballot-box stuff
ing last March. They were
clean, but for the sake of ma
tional harmony agreed to re-
tire voluntarily. Their re-
placements are equally worthy
nonpolitical men.
According to reports from
Allied headquarters, the po-
litical upheaval has had little
effect on the morale and dis
cipline of the 600,000-man
ROK forces. The Communists
tried to take advantage of the
situation and made efforts to
propagandize the military,
particularly on the front lines.
with broadcasts and PAM
phlets. But as far as it can
be determined the effect has
been nil. 1t is for this reason
that both the embassy in
Seoul and the Magruder COM
mand are strongly advising
Washington to increase the
economic and military aid to
Korea as the best assurance
that in the strenuous months
ahead it is more important
than ever to provide the arm
ed forces with modern equip
mcnt. This would be a far
better morale booster than all
the speeches and assurances
which have been transmitted
from Washington since Rhee
left Office.
There is no doubt that
since the downfall of the
R h e e administration h e
Communists have tried to fish
in troubled waters. In the
early days of the revolution

Juneau Voters Fail to
Decisively Decide On
Manager Council Govt.

JUNEAU, tR = Juneau voters
gave their approval yesterday to
bond issues amounting to $780,
900 for civic improvement and to
a new charter which calls for a
city manager form of government.
The new city charter was APP
proved by a 775-676 vote.
Confusing the issue, however,
was an advisory vote asked by the
city council as to whether Juneau
residents preferred a mayor-coun-
Gil or a city manager-c council form
of government.
The voters, despite favoring the
new charter, which calls for a
city manager, said they preferred
a mayor council form of govern
ment, 640-480.
The council had asked for the
advisory vote for its guidance
should the voters turn down the
proposed new charter.
The conflicting vote showed the
whole question right back to the
council to decide.
A 100000 bond issue, one of
four, was given overwhelming
support for paving a 1000 foot
extension of the runway at Ju-
neau Municipal Airport and in
stallation of runway Lighting
Reelected to the city council
were the three incumbent candi-
dates, Fred G.. Baxter, Roy Con-

ACS Underseas Cable
Broken Tuesday Night

SEATTLE, R : The undersea
cable carrying telephone lines to
Alaska broke Tuesday night, cut
ting off 81 lines including the
major news wires. Service was
cut north of Juneau.
The ACS pinpointed the break
in Flat Bay, between Skagway
and Lena Point, but said the cause
had not been learned by Wednes-
day afternoon.
Maintenance personnel were
flown to the site from Juneau
and the cable ship Basil Lenore
sailed Wednesday afternoon from
Seattle. The vessel will take four
days to reach the site and repairs
are expected to take one day.
Service was rerouted, mean
while, via Helena, Mont, and Cal
gary, Alta, along the Alcan High
way to Dawson Creek, then to a
connection with the cable at
Whitehorse.

Home Arts Club Praises
Mildred HARDWOOD For
Girl Scout Leadership

Mildred HARDWOOD, whose lead
ership for the last Is years in
Girl Scouting here and who re-
tired this year from the Girl Scout
Board, was given high praise by
the members of the Home Arts
Club which has been the sponsor
of the Girl Scouts since 1947.
Through her efforts the Scout
movement has grown from one
troop to an organization of about
125 girls of several troops. AS a
lone troop it was necessary to
have a local organization as a
sponsor, and through her efforts
and enthusiasm the Home Arts
took on this responsibility.
The present organization which
makes the Nome troops part of
the Farthest North Council with
headquarters at Fairbanks, will
not require this sponsorship, ac-
cording to information presented
at the meeting.
Following the meeting, over
which President Esther Mccoy
presided, the members who met
in the multi-purpose room of the
school, repaired library books be-
longing to the school library.
New members were welcomed
to the civic group and were Max
inc Book, Walda Reed, and Mrs.
