The Irish of the Orient,
as Koreans are called. were
all smiles and full of vitality
yesterday at the Korean En-
bassy reception.
They were at once reflect

newly organized Korea and
the vigor of the man who has

Chung Hee Park.
Gen. Park himself regis
tered pleasure over the way
his talks with President Ken
nedy had progressed yester-
day, and his host, the Ambas-
Sador, Gen. II Kwon Chung,
had marry a furrow on his
brow. The two men COM
posed the receiving line to-
gether with the Foreign Min
lister Gen. Choi Duk Shin.
This was definitely the
generals hour. The mill

are now running the coun-
try and the American mill

Confidence in the military
junta could not have been
more joyously expressed than
it was by the outspoken,
ebullient Gen. James Van
Fleet.
THIS is THE FINEST
THING that has happened to
Korea in thousand years"
he said. They will have good
government, honest govern
ment, effective government,
and stability - and by
stability I mean no Com
munists in the country. They
will also go back to represen-
rational government which
is what the Korean wants"

exclaimed enthusiastically.

Compromise
On Aid Seen
Plan EnVisions
Some Borrowing
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star Staff Writer

A compromise that would
give President Kennedy a long
range foreign loan fund fl
nanced partly with Treasury
borrowed funds and partly from
annual appropriations, was
being discussed in Capitol cor
ridors yesterday.
One informed source dubbed
it a "two-door" spending plan
instead of an all "back-door"
program.
"Back-door spending" is a
term the opposition has applied
to Treasury borrowing for any
function of Government.
The theory behind this COM
promise is that the administra-
ton would get a long-term au-
thorization and would be sure
of a definite amount of money
each year from the borrowing
authority, but would have to
come back to Congress an
nually to get the remainder of
the required funds.
Could Match Spending
Those who favor this solu-
ton say that in passing of the
additional money, the Appro-
priations Committees also could
find out how the TreaSury-b -bor-
roWed funds were being spent.
The House bill, passed Fri
day, killed the Presidents re-
quest to borrow $8.8 billion
from the Treasury over a five
year period, and substituted an
authorization of $1.2 billion for
this year only, to be obtained
by congressional appropriation.
The Senate bill, also passed
Friday, gave the President both
the five-year duration and the
borrowing authority, but trim
med the funds to SO billion.
Another compromise men,
toned yesterday would keep

Drowning Man Saved

A 58-year-old former Wash

Bethesda housewife who found
him floating unconscious in
the surf of a New England
beach.
Reported in good condition
yesterday was John ]. Hessman.
a retired guard for the General
Services Administration and a
resident here for is years.
His rescuer, Mrs. Leroy
Voris, of 5000 Grosvenor lane,
Bethesda, happened to be at
the Plymouth, Mass, resort
with her husband who is an
employe of the National Acad-
emy of Science. She had ac-
companied her husband on a
business trip.
According to Mr.. Hessman's
son, John F. Hessman, of 1916
PenroSe street, Rockville, the
incident took place Friday.
Mrs. Voris. who was in a
boat, discovered the uncon-
scious man floating face
down. She pulled him out,

He was taken to Jordan Hos

Both of these moves will do
much to answer the criticism
of West Berliners that the
West has sat on its hands since
the closing of the sector bound
ary between East and West
Berlin a week ago. Although
neither move can be expected
to work any drastic change in
the situation, they represent
together a strong reaffirma-
ton of the Western pledge to
defend it's interests and rights
in West Berlin.
Gesture Was Needed
The need for the gesture was
Many observers here in
the past week have noted an
alarming disintegration of mo-
rale in West Berlin as a result
of the latest Communist moves
and a growing bitterness over
what appeared as Western in
action. Written protests deliv-
cred earlier by military COM
here and allied en-
bassies in Moscow have not
provided the kind of tangible
reinsurance that the city badly
needs.
The response seems to have
been nicely calculated by the
administration in Washington.
The original demand of Ber-
liners-among many others
was for a personal visit by
President Kennedy himself.
Diplomatic opinion here held,
however, that this would have
been extravagant move in

year public works program,
made public yesterday.
The proposed projects for the
six-year period beginning next
July l total 1891 million. The
Federal Government would
provide S271 million and the
District the $50 million bal
ance.
Work Slated for SO
The proposed construction of
the new river crossing is we'll
in the future. About $1.1 mil
lion for planning and some
right-of-way aquiSition is ear
marked for fiscal 1868. Con-
struction would start the fol-
lowing year and it would take
two years to complete the
bridge.
The Government and the city
would split the cost of the Sill
million bridge.
Tentative plans are for the
bridge to tie in on the District
side with the proposed Pali-
sades parkway and to Mac
Arthur boulevard. On the Vir-
ginia side it is to connect with
the proposed Pimmit Run free
way.
The District also is planning
to build a bridge at Three Sis
terS Islands, just upstream from
Key Bridge. Money to get
started on this bridge and its
highway connections is in
cluded in the city's proposed
budget for the current fiscal
year.
Freeway Speeded
A four-year speedup for the
Northeast freeway, in link in
the so-called third route to
Baltimore, is proposed in the
new six-year public works pro-
gram. Planning and some
right-of-way acquisition would
get underway during the next
fiscal year, rather than in fis-
cal 1867.
The $50 million eight-lane
highway would run from Elev-
enth street and Florida avenue
NE. to the District line, just
east of Sargent road. 1t is to
connect with Maryland's Inter
state Route 95. Under the re-
vised plans, construction would
be completed in 1868.

The same held true of most

out as too drastic at this stage
of the game, not to mention
the fact that the East German
government promised to reply
to such a move by blockading
Berlin. Even lesser retaliatory
