The pawn |is Korea and now it's our move. Having established la strong communist regime in northern Korea, the | Soviet Union is prepared to withdraw its Red troops | from that area. We are called upon to follow suit |in the southern part, leaving the zone we now oceupy ‘f‘,\tposcd to capitulation to the Communists of the north. It is not as simple as that, and, 1t is to be hoped, | neither are we. The implication that Russia is acting lon a high moral plane, end wants the Koreans to i"uvmn themselves, both north and south, is the most \\merupulous and dishonest pretense, for that is not | Moscow’s intention at all. The Kremlin intends to | make all Korea a communist puppet state, and that ' {is the fate to which we shall leave the country if American forces withdraw. The truth is, however, that Russia’s position in Korea is morally quite indefensible. Under the cir- | cumstances, the United States will be fully justified in standing by the Koreans until a better destiny seems to be in sight for them. Russia is a member | of the United Nations.

Whit-} ficld Davidson of - Dallas, Texas,! certainly seems to love the real- ! estate operators. He has been hearing charges of irauds against veterans by 27 Dal- s home builders, first exposed by ! this column and later indicted by the Justice Department, and be- lieve it or not, levying token fines that don't even make up for the illegal profit ex- tort from the veterans. of remarks from the bench, also ave indicated almost brazen toward the real-estate h boys When Roscoe Dodson guilty to overcharging an $1,000 for a home, all he was fin- ed by Judge Davidson for break- ing the law was $100. Dedson didn’'t en e to pay back the overcha s¢' he came out $900 to the good on his illegal deal. Another builder, W. C. Chappe! did even better. He overcharged a veteran $1,500. When he started to plead guilty, Judge Davidson said he would accept a plea of “nolo contendere”—no contest. In the end, Chappell also was fined $100 and alloweéd to keep the re- maining $1,400 which he had over- charged the veteran. The judge went up to a fine in one case. He soaked H Little and L. M.

Jackson. E. T. Swango,| | whose house was sold to the vet-| eran and who was also implicat- ed, got off with a $1 fine—be-| cause the Judge said he seemed | like such a “fine fellow.” “A veteran returning home af- ter the war became a citizen and a person capable of handling his own affairs,” Judge Davidson re- marked from the bench. In ex-| plaining his leniency toward the| | real-estate operators, the Judge also pointed out that real estate had | gone up since the deals were made —so the veterans weren't really losing anything. He didn't say ! what his attitude would have been if the real estate had gone down! | instead of up. { | | ! PRESIDENT OF HOME : | BUILDERS | Of the cases in court so far, the only operator who had pleaded not guilty is R. S. Shelburne, former president of the Dallas Home Build- e By a strange conincidence, he also the only operator who has paid the overcharge back to vet- erans. This repayment in itself would seem to be a confession of Iguilt. But when Shelburne saw | how the other cases were going, he | ;}.lvaded not guilty and asked for ia jury trial. | | Defiantly, Shelburne's lawyers | told newsmen they would fight the case to the Supreme Court even {if he got fined a three-cent pos- | tage stamp.
