Planning Commission, urged
that the sewer be run from the
airport along Route 7 to Diff
cult Run, cross the river at
Great Falls and continue to
the Districts treatment plant
at Blue Plains.
Aud Advances Plan
David v. Aud, the Districts
director of sanitary engineer
ing, recommended a route that
would follow the rivers edge
and would include spur lines to
serve Fairfax and Montgomery
Counties.
Mr.. Finley said this route
would open up the Potomac
River Valley to intensive de-
velopment which, he said, will
come on the heels of any sewer
Improvements brought into the
area. ..
He said a sewer route back
from the riversides, although
more expensive to construct
because pumping station
would be needed, would not
tempt developers to try to
change zoning restrictions
presently in force.
Richard H. Kraft, director
of the regional planning coun-
Gil, sided with Mr.. Auld. He
said the route along the river
is based on sound engineer
ing" plans. 1t is up to the
various county governments in
the region to see that no
changes are allowed that would
lead to the ruin of the valley,
he said.
At one point, Mr.. Finley
charged that Mr.. Auld's recon-
mended route would be waste
full" saying it is designed tc
handle too great a capacity
Of flow. Mr.. Auld countered
by saying studies Of expected
growth in the region indicate
the need for the size sewer

Mr.. Moss warned that Fair
fax has no funds to construct
a separate sewer line along

problem. He said any plan that
is finally decided on for the
airport sewer route must in
clude the Fairfax line If the
purpose Of the project is to be
carried out.

7 Members of the NCRPC

New Crisis in South Korea

rioters-a most unfortunate
result, unless the State De-
partment is in possession of
justifying facts which it has
not revealed"
The right of revolution is
traditional. II there is to be
armed revolt, it would appear
that the many Communist
agents operating in South
Korea will assist substan-
TALLY in that direction. Then
what will happen on the
armiStice line as between
North and South Korea? To-
day there are 100000 South
Korean troops and 10000
American troops guarding the
line. Does anybody believe a
revolution could occur with
out involving the troops on
the armistice line? And If
that happens. does it not
seem logical that Communist
China, which controls the
North Korean army, will find
some excuse to start hoStili-
ties? Will this mean a re-
opening of the Korean War
in the year 1860 when the
R pu b lican administration
had expected to be telling
the American voters that it
had achieved peace in Korea
and the Far East?
Everything depends on how
potent the State Depart
ment's public reprimand is
going to be. Will it cause a
chain reaction inside Korea
and force the Rhee govern
ment to abdicate? Will this
not be pointed to throughout
the Communist world as an
alleged example of how a
powerful Western nation
handles a "puppet" govern
ment?
Maybe the Korean crisis
will be composed by the
steady hand of Syngman
Rhee. He is in his 80s and
so is Konrad Adenauer, but
nobody in the State Depart
ment interfered when the
German leader said he
wouldn't run for President
but would stay on indefinitely
as the Chancellor. It's GER
tainly a strange precedent
for the United States to be
intervening in the internal
affairs of another country,
and particularly at a time
when 10000 American
troops are facing an I'M
scrupulous enemy who may
not hesitate to take ad-
vantage of the diSsension
among the Western allies in
the Far East.

Attacks on Anti-Communist Groups
Called Strong Sign of Instiqotors

Are the recent riots in
South Korea a curtain-raiser
for another invasion from the
north?
This question is being asked
anxiously by responsible mill
tary men in Washington, who
suspect strongly that the So
called political uprising may
be nothing more than a prel-
ude to another invasion.
The reason for this type Of
prelude, it is said by some
Americans who have an
intimate knowledge of the
Korean situation, is to soften
American public opinion so
that when the invasion starts
under the pretext that it is
intended to liberate the South
Korean people from the
tyranny of the Rhee regime"
there shall be no repetition
OF June rs, 1850, when we
rushed to the support of the
free Koreans.
In support of this theory
as to the actual reason for
the tragic developments in
the main cities of South
Korea, it is pointed out that
in a dispatch from Seoul the
Associated Press correspond

stated: Three buildings were
on fire: that of the pro-
government newspaper; the
headquarters of an Army

and an anti-Communist and
propaganda gallery" These
last were established by the
ROk government some five
years ago. They contain a
mass of pictures, literature
and exhibits of Communist
infiltration and propaganda
weapons" These exhibits
have made a serious i'm
preston among the Korean
people.
The question arising in
many minds is why should
the young demonstrators
against the alleged electoral
corruption of the incumbent
administration direct their
attention in such a vivid
manner on the buildings
where the anti-Communist
Recommendation was housed,
as well as against the build
ing OF the Counter Intelli-
gence, which contained so
many files discriminating
Communists and their sup
porters?

could give the Communists
the opportunity they have
long sought-to involve the
United States in a serious
quarrel with its own allies in
the Far East.
What the Department of
State has done in openly rep
rimanding the government
Of President Rhee is a bold
step. 1t could prove disas-
trous. for it establishes a
precedent that will plague
the diplomacy of the United
States for years to come. 81
For the Department Of
State has undertaken to pass
Judgment on the activities
OF the incumbent party in a
national presidential election
in a country with which this
Government is at peace.
Was the election of Mr..
Rhee "rigged"? His only op-
position candidate died while
in Washington. The vice
presidential contest was Bit
terly fought, but the Rhee
party elected its candidate.
Charges have been made that
many illegalities occurred and
that the government support
ers actually produced ballots
that were not marked by the
voters themselves.
Even if the accuracy Of
these charges were conceded,
does this mean the United
States Government has set
itself up as the judge Of elec-
tions inside other countries?
If so, there are plenty of
elections in Latin America
that will be brought to the
attention of officials of the
Department of State by de-
feated parties in years to
come.
Couldn't the American Gov
eminent have expressed it's
diSpleasure privately and
called for a redress of griev-
ances" by plain-spoken words
in the course of diplomatic
conversations through the
respective ambassadors here
or in Seoul, Korea? The an
swer given is that the United
States has tried this very
tactic for several months but
that its efforts were fruitless.

KoehIer Hits President
On Keeping Files Secret

A former Truman admins

by Congress to declassify Gov
ernment files.
The President permitted all
his department heads to keep
lids of secrecy on much of their
work despite a legislative
amendment, John T. Koehler
charged yesterday.
Mr.. Koehler, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy and
chairman of the Maritime Ad-
ministration, addressed a meet
ing of the District Bar Asso-
citation.
After years of hearings, Con-
gress in 1858 passed an amend

should not withhold informa-
ton from the public.
The President approved it,
but with the comment that the
change could not apply to his
inherent powers to withhold
information and that this also
was true of his departments.
The Presidents action was
in effect a veto by approval,

throughout the world by the
reported irregularities in the
Korean elections finally con-
vinced the Department of
State that it had to do some
thing publicly.
In the Far East, however.
this will be construed as pull
ing the rug from beneath the
Rhee government. AS The
Star commented in an edi-
torial yesterday. "if the State
Department is trying to bring
down the government of
Syngman Rhee in its hour of
crisis, the lecture which Mr..
Herter has addressed to the
South Korean Ambassador
makes a certain amount of
sense. If this is not the case
there is a notable out-of-this
world quality about the Secre-
tary's dissertation on what is
and what is not suited to a
free democcary.' :"
The editorial added:
What are the facts about
the rioting, which began in
more or less serious form a
month ago? According to the
Associated Press, police coun-
ter-measures at first were
relatively restrained. This
seemed to encourage the
mobs. This week, when the
heavy loss of life occurred,
the mobS were on the verge
of taking over Seoul. Led
by high school and college
students, they stormed
through the streets, stoning
police, burning buildings and
communicating police cars.
Some 500 students swarmed
over a barbed-wire barricade
in front of the official resi-
dence of President Rhee. At
that point the police opened
fire, and many members Of
the mob were killed or
wounded.
This was deplorable. But
at that stage. one of two
choices was available-bow
to mob rule or use force. We
think it was necessary to use
force and that force will con-
tinue to be necessary until
order is restored. The alter
native is for the Rhee gov
ernment to abdicate, and
we do not suppose this is
what the State Department
wants. Nevertheless, Mr.. Her.

The Vice President can
also take comfort from the
fact that Republicans out

The New Jersey primary
severely damaged the favorite
thesis of the right wing Of
American politics. 1t is that
a big conservative vote exists
which has not been going to
the polls because it was not
being offered a choice be-
tween conservative and liberal
candidates.
New Jersey was offered
precisely that choice in un-
mistakable terms. A Re-
publican incumbent Senator.
Clifford Case, consistently
liberal and running on his
record, was challenged by
Robert Morris, a close asso-
ciate of the principal right
wingers in Congress.
Mr.. Morris was no under
dog in the classic pattern. He
is vigorous and articulate.
His intensive campaign was
lavishly financed and sup
ported by many big names.
The State party leaders, for
many of whom Senator Case
is too liberal, abStained for
the most part.
When the votes were
counted. he led nearly two
to one. Nor did any other
indicators offer solace to the
conservatives. A Democratic
liberal, Thorn Lord, was his
party's overwhelming choice
to run against Senator Case.
These results are a vinoi-
