Tough Regime Gives
Hope to Koreans

SEOUL, South Korea, Mar

Seoul now. Money lenders ano
black marketeers have vanished

glimmer of hope-and hope is
sonnet hing South Koreans
haven't had for a long time.
A tough government is re-
sponsible. A group Of young
soldiers with Gen. Chunk Hee
Park at their head, took over
this nation, torn by corruption
and mismanagement, 10 months
ago.

est.
Gone are the carefree days
of old President Syngmar
Rhee, ousted nearly two years
ago by a student revolt. Here
now is austerity and tight gov
eminent management.
People Benefited
Many South Koreans accept
this grim way of life because
up to now, tough as 1t is, it
appears to be working in their
favor.
This spring." said a rice
farmer outside Seoul, "the gov
eminent fertilizer arrived in
time for the first time in years.
After all, fertilizer is most i'm
portant to me. I think Gen.
Park is a good man."
Gen. Park is A. He and his
junta seized the government
from Premier John M. Chang,
Mr.. Rhee's successor.
The junta declared the Chang
government also was corrupt
and making no progress. Mr..
Rhee, Sc, is in exile and not
being allowed to return home
for the time being.
The soldiers are making prog
ress against the economic prob
lens that rank South Korea as
one of Asia's hardship cases.
Still Many Critics
Much remains to be done,
however, before the country
energies from poverty. There
are still many critics and skep-
tics to be convinced.
There are some fears that
the soldiers have tasted power
and will not stand aside for
democratic elections in 1863, as
they promised. This month
they in effect limited their
election opposition to amateurs
and other military men by ban
ming from political activity all
who held office under previous
regimes.
Even skeptics agree the SOL
diers are moving South Korea's
economy toward self suffic-
iency.
The country has been boil
stored since the Korean war
with massive doses of United
States aid. In 1961-62 Korea
will cost America $3.50 million
in aid.
The aid, which includes sur
plus agricultural produce,
makes up more than 40 per
cent Of the national budget.
Without this, South Korea
could not maintain its 100000
man army.
U. S. Aid Key Factor
United States aid also is a
key factor in Gen. Parks five
year economic plan, which he
hopes will bring an annual IL
per cent increase in the gross
national product.
This plan strikes at the
heart Of the economic troubles
insufficient agriculture and
lack of industrialization.
Price support programs for
rice have eased somewhat the
pinch of the rice farmer. Rice
is the most important crop and
farmers make up 10 per cent of
the population.
Gen. Park also cracked down
on usurious money lenders, is
suing government promissory
notes to creditors and granting
debtors loans at low interest.
This was mainly a farm aid

LONDON. Mar. "a (AP).-
For 40 years, Cyril Francis

DATELlNE GALlLEE
IsroeI-Syrio Clash
Brewing q Decade

DAMASCUS, Syria, Mar. "a
(AP). Fighting between Is
raelis and Syrians at the Sea
of Galilee this week under
scored another dispute that has
been brewing for a decade: A
threatened unholy row over the
waters of the Holy River Jor-
dan.
1t is a dispute between Arabs
and Israelis over the use of the
river waters. 1t is famed now
by an Israeli project to divert
part of the Jordan waters from
the Sea of Galilee to irrigate
the Negev Desert.
The dispute is not directly
connected with the Galilee
fighting but it is prominently
in the background. The Syr-
ians contend that the Sea of
Galilee, inside Israel but at
the Syrian border, is not Israeli
owned.
Arab spokesman insist they
will fight to prevent Israel from
siphoning off waters flowing
into the river Jordan from the
Sea of Galilee. Military plans
have been drawn up by the
Arab League to oppose this.
The League will take up the
question at a meeting in Saudi
Arabia next month.
Battles for Centuries
Within sight of the Syrian
shore, Israeli workmen are pre-
pairing lines that one day will
put the project in motion.
Battles over water have been
occurring for centuries in the
Middle East. You can see the
reason in a drive across any
desert such as the Judean Wild
erness between Jerusalem and
Amman, the capital of Jordan.
Most of the wilderness is Desc
late.
Yet in the Jordan River
valley, as the river leaves the
Sea of Galilee and drops toward
the Dead Sea, palm trees grow
and small farmers raise toma-
toes and watermelons for the
market at Beirut, L,ebanon's
capital. They do it with Jordan
water.
The United States has been
intimately involved in the con-
troversy. The Eisenhower ad-
ministration tried to get Syria,
Jordan, Lebanon and Israel to
cooperate in a unified develop
ment using Jordan Valley
water. The $200-million plan
allotted Arab states 81 per cent
of the water and Israel 80 per
cent.
Studied by Eisenhower
President Eisenhower's ennis
sary. Eric Johnston, made five
trips to the Middle East to get
the two sides together. Were
on the one inch line," he said
once. In fact, technicians on
both sides were near the goal.
But an attempt to finish it up
has remained postponed.
Israel, fully utilizing its water
reserves and needing more to
expand agriculture, has gone
ahead on its own. In 1859,
Finance Minister Levi Eshkol
termed the Jordan water di-
version a top priority project.
The Israeli plan is to pump
water from the Sea of Galilee
(also called Lake Tiberias) to
the Galileean Hills, then pipe
it 155 miles south into Israel's
Negev desert to irrigate $4,000
acres.
When the project is COM
pleted. according to Israeli, it
will carry 800 million cubic
meters annually from Lake tt
