U. S. Weighs Withdrawal
Os Troops From Korea
B r JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer
Top United States policymak
ers are expected to take a new
look soon at the possibility of
withdrawing American forces
from South Korea.
If this is decided upon, they
would be pulled back to Japan
and other forward bases in the
Pacific.
Several recent developments
have combined to strengthen
speculation within the Defense
and State Departments that
withdrawal may prove possible
in the months ahead. But the
issue is controversial and is sure
to be fully debated in the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the National;
Security Council when it is
raised.
The developments bearing on
the situation are these:
1. Increasing evidence—in
cluding the current American-
Red Chinese talks at Geneva—
that Red China is co-operating
with Russia's policy of easing
East-West tensions. The pros
pects of war in the Formosa area
have declined steadily in recent
months. The dangers of some
new military aggression by the
Reds in the Korean area are
rated very low. The Far Eastern 1
front from Indo-China through
Korea seems to bfl stabilizing.
2. The introduction of a new:
personality into the Joint Chiefs!
of Staff. Gen. Maxwell Taylor,
Rhea Renews
His Pledge of
'No Incidents'
SEOUL. Sunday. Aug. 7 (/P). —
President Syngman Rhee again
has promised the United Na
tions command that his South
Korean soldiers will avoid any
incidents which might provoke
a rekindling of the flames of
war in Korea.
"I did not mean to use force
when I said (last Monday) we
would take over places the Com
munists hold south of the 38th ,
Parallel.” Mr. Rhee said in an
interview today.
"Gen. Leminitzer was here
Thursday and 1 told him the
same thing I am telling you. I
do not say we will never use
force, but for now we have no
idea of using force.”
Called Threatening
The United Nations command
er-in-chief, Gen. Lyman Lem
nitzer. rushed here from Tokyo
to call on Mr Rhee and find
out what was behind his state
ment last week asserting the
Communists would have to leave
any ground they hold south of
the 38th Parallel. The Reds oc
cupy the city of Kaesong and
the nearby Ongjin peninsula
“Lemnitzer told me my dec
laration was threatening," said
80-year-old Rhee, his bronzed
face crinkling in a smile.
“I told him I didn’t mean for
it to be threatening.”
Mr. Rhee said Gen. Lemnitzer,
Chen. Isaac D. White. United
States Ambassador to Korea
told him he would be throwing
a monkey wrench into the works
No Action Planned
“They are always telling me
I will throw a monkey wrench
into the works or rock the
ship,” Rhee said.
Gen. Lemnitzer asked Mr
Rhee if he did not plan to use
force then what did he plan
to do.
"I told him.” Mr. Rhee said,
"that we didn't plan to do any
thing but that I thought that it
was up to the United Nations
command to go to the Commun
ists in Kaesong and on the Ong-1
jin Peninsula and tell them if'
they wanted to prove their desire
for peace then they should get
out of South Korea.” j

Surpluses Cited 1
As Peace Tool
By the Associated Press
Senator Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma yesterday urged
President Eisenhower “to use our
vast farm surpluses as a weapon
to crack the Iron Curtain.”
“We have something that i
Soviet Russia and Red China!
urgently need.” Senator Kerr said!
in an interview. “If these stocks
of food, feed and fiber are
handled properly they can end,
international tensions and make
foa peace.”
Other Senators, including
Stennis. Democrat of Mississippi,
Russell. Democrat of Georgia and
Young. Republican of North;
Dakota have suggested that
United States farm surpluses
might be sold or traded to Iron
Curtain countries if the Com- ;
munist world demonstrates it
is sincere about ending the cold
war and expanding trade.
Benson Plans Tour
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son said Friday he will go to
Western Europe this Fall at the
suggestion of President Eisen
hower to discuss marketing prob
lems and surplus disposal.
Spokesmen for farm organi
zations. including the National
Grange and the Farm Bureau
Federation, also have been urg
ing sales to Russia and its satel
lites. Officials have said they are
weighings the idea.
Senator Kerr, who has been
blasting Mr. Benson's farm poli
cies said:
“I would not be adverse to
Benson doing something worth
while. He's been the symbol of
futility for a long time.
"With a third of China now
suffering from famine and with
much of Russia threatened with
it. our surpluses and our capac
ity to produce food may mean the
difference between avoiding war
and winning the peace."
Stennis Favors Trade
Senator Stennis. a member of
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee. said he favors trade with
Russia and other Communist
.nations “as a basis for better
(understanding and more peaceful
'relations.”
"It's certainly a field worth
trying and I think Secretary
should make an effort
|to move our farm surpluses into
'new channels.”
But Senator Kefauver, Demo
crat, of Tennessee, expressed
doubts about resuming trade
with Communist areas “until we
make certain that the new Soviet
attitude is more than a gesture.”
He said he was willing to see
the United States “take the first
step toward peaceful relations”
but it should be wary pending
clarification of the situation.
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota, also expressed
doubts about selling surpluses
to Russia “until she demon
strates that she is sincere at
the October foreign ministers
conference.”

going about the routine of taking

Peace Pipe and Painting
Given Russian Visitors
I By TOM WHITNEY I
Associated Press Staff Writer
BISCAY, Minn., Aug. 6 UP)— i
Six Soviet farm leaders were
presented today with a peace
pipe made of Minnesota plpe
stone and a painting by a handi
capped girl.
The pipe gift was sent to the-
I Russians by women of Pipestone
County.
A textile painting was sent to
them, along with her auto
graphed photograph, by Pat Shu
maker of Cedar Hill Farm, Ren
ville, Minn.
Pat wrote to the Soviet dele
gates: “I am a handicapped girl
'and among my many hobbies is
painting. Perhaps you could give
this picture to some handicapped
person in your country.”
The Russians said they were
jvery pleased with both these
tokens.
The six Soviet delegates trav
jeled from Worthington by bus
'on their way to Minneapolis.
Interest I* Intense
Interest in seeing them here
in Minnesota is intense. In
Olivia Park, when they stopped ,
for cold drinks and cookies, about,
400 persons were assembled. A ]
band concert was given for them.
It was a merry occasion. Some of
the Russians- danced jigs for the
benefit of the onlookers.
The Americans swarmed about
the guests. Some asked for their
autographs. Others attempted to ,
talk to them without interpreters.,
The warmth of the reception
there seemed greater than any- ;
thing they have encountered
since leaving lowa.
While still in Worthington the
Russians visited a grain elevator
and then drove to Olivia to see
alfalfa chopped.

Americans Critical
Os Russian Farming
STALINGRAD, USSR. Aug. 6
(IP). Members of the visiting
, farm delegation from the United
; States have begun to discard
• politeness and speak out on what
they consider are some of the
faults of Soviet agriculture.
Until now they have been re
luctant to voice criticism because
of the hospitality they have been
shown.
Soviet Agriculture, official
newspaper of the Ministry of
Agriculture, reported yesterday
that the American delegation
visited the Stalin farm in the
Rostov-on-Don region and was
told by the farm chairman “we
have an amateur theatrical cir
cle, football team, movies, etc.”
But. the report said, Charles
Hearst of Cedar Falls, lowa,
came back with a question about
what happens on the collective
farm when the machine tractor
stations fall down on their quota
of work.
"In cases like that we simply
(don’t accept their work,” the
farm chairman replied,
i But Mr. Hearst's question,
"Who gets fined, who gets fired?”
' went unanswered.
