Relations With South Korea Strained By MURRAY FROMSON "and GENE KRAMER SEOUL (®—U.S.South Korean relations aye more strained now than at any' time since the critical days just béfore the armistice was signed—and there are signs that a showdown may be near. While sie. to discuss the situ- tion publidly, U.S. officials here <a (ip Tokyo have indicated in private that| American patience is being worn |thin by Korean grum- bling over U.S. military and eco- nomic policies. One respcnsible official said he would not jbe surprised to see President Syngman Rhee ‘Tell us to get out of Korea lock, stock and barrel.” The time| is drawing near, he said, when the United States might consider suth an order a bluff— and call it. A top U.{. diplomat told news- men that Korean officials have roadblocks jn the path of a suc- cessful Am#rican assistance pro- gram. Korea sha; insisted for a year .|’ Other officials have the United States is eir country to the Communists |by withdrawing four infantry ayers and some air units, US. millitaky experts argue that the redeployjnent is necessary to provide moliilify. Gen. John E. Hull, U.N. jand U.S. Far East commander, | and Gen. Maxwell Taylor, 8th! Army commander, have assuret. South Korea that it will not be Abandoned. After 40 years as a Japanese colony, Korea is determined not to become tied to Japan economi- cally or militarily. The United States, committed to help both nations, would like to see hianveliesd Korea buy coa- sumer goods! from Japan. It would save American dollars. But South Korea refuses to buy from Japan. There have been indications Washington has adopted a new get tough policy for South Korea, if it should be necessary. And it is a fact that negotiations for a vast new military aid program have been shifted from Washington to. Seoul—to be handled by U.S. officials who have been on the scene all along. WOMAN SENTENCED _ IN BRITISH GUIANA GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, (@® — Janet Jagan, American-born wife of ousted Premier Cheddi Jagan, was sentenced to tiree months in prison on charges of Possessing subversive literatuve. The term will run concurrently with another three-month sentence she began serving last week after refusing to pay a $250 fine for hold- ing an illegal political meeting, Nixon Calls “Trumanism” Campaign Issue By AL DOPKING ST. LOUIS w—Vice President Nixon singled out what he called “Trumanism” here last night as the big 1954 campaign issue. He called on the same voters, “Republicans, Democrats and in- dependents”, who sent President Eisenhower to the White House in 1952 to go back to the polls and give him another Republican Con- gress in November. In a speech at a $100-a-plate Re- Publican fund raising dinner, Nixon said the issues now were the same as they were in 1952. The issue, he-said, is the “Kisen- hower record versus a return to Trumanism.” On a 31-state campaign tour he said he was waging for the sole Purpose of helping elect a working Republican majority in Congress in the Nov. 2 general election, the vice president intensified his criti- cism of the Truman administration in his swing across the former President's home state of Missouri. He said 34 million citizens voted in 1952 by the greatest majority in American political history to get rid of the “mess” under the Tru- man administration, a mess he said was made up of Korea, com- munism, controls and corruption. He said in its first 20 months the Eisenhower administration had made big strides in “cleaning up the mess in Washington but there is a lot more to be done on the constructive side.” Applauded frequently by some 900 of the party faithful who staged a flag waving demonstra- tion before he began to speak, Nixon said that unless President Eisenhower gets a Republican Con- gress his program “will be sty- mied.” During the Eisenhower adminis- tration, he said, both the war in Korea and fighting in Indochina has ended and “for the first time in 12 years the world in which we live is at peace.” “The Truman-Acheson policy got us into war,” Nixon said. “The Eisenhower-Dulles policy got us out of war.” The vice president said the gov- ernment is spending less money in the field of foreign aid today but despite the cut in spending the nation is stronger militarily. Nixon, who turned toward South Dakota today where he speaks at Huron tonight, said the Eisenhower administration has cut 12 billion dollars from the federal budget and as a result gave the taxpayers their biggest tax cut in the na- tion’s history—7% billion dollars. He added the Eisenhower ad- ministration had taken effective steps to kick Communists and se- curity risks out of government jobs without violating American traditions. The threat of commu- nism, he said, is no longer brushed off as a “red herring.” Earlier. yesterday, Nixon spoke at Nevada, Mo., and Fort Kan., before flying here in a char- tered plane. The youthful looking vice presi- dent appeared tired when he ar- rived at St, Louis late in the after- noon but by speech time his broad smile, had returned. The armies of Alexander the Great saw sugar for the first time when they invaded India. An elephant can run 100 yards in 6.4 seconds.

Va. cery store at Farmington, W Va.; , Lee $. Ford, 46, president of the Mannond Brick Co. at Grafton, | W. Va., and John W. Meredith, | former cashier of the bank. Fred Hallford, special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh FBI of. fice, announced the arrests. Mere- was re-arrested in connection | with the case. He has been free on $20,000 bond since he was ar- Tested on Aug. 12. At the time he was charged with making false en-| tries=of the bank’s records and| misapplication of the bank’s funds, involving $25,540. Manchin and Meredith were ar- rested at Fairmount and arraigned before the U.S. commissioner in Pittsburgh. Ford was Picked up in the lobby of a Pittsburgh hotel. Manchin was specifically charged, along with Meredith, with violating the Federal Reserve Act. Ford and Meredith also were jointly charged.

The FBI agent said Ford and Manchin “both admitted to FBI agents that they wrote checks drawn on the First National Bank at Fairmont, knowing they did not have funds on deposit to cover payment of the checks.

We don’t know yet however, just how the money was spent.” North Carolina. has an ideal ‘climate and ample average rain- fall to make it one of the nation’s best grassland farming areas. DEMOCRAT FACTIONS (Continued from Page One) senhower record—but in a differ- ent way. He told a $100-a-plave GOP fund raising dinner that the Teal election issue is the Eisen- hower record versus a return te what he called “Trumanism.” The vice president said a Demo- cratic Congress next year would mean a return to Truman-Achesoa Policies that “got us into wat.” He said Eisenhower-Dulles policies “got us out of war.” Nixon also linked the Truman administration with communism, controls and corruption. Rep. Sam Rayburn of Texas, ¢ Democratic House leader, con- ‘nded the Eisenhower administra- tion has made no changes in the Truman-Acheson foreign Policy but has “blundered” and lost prestige abroad. Dean Acheson was secretary of state in the Truman Cabinet. John Foster Dulles took over under Ei- senhower. Rayburn Interviewed an interview broadcast today ik burn called the GOP’s 1952 pla> form a “shambles.” He wed “very little of it has been carried out.” Truman also appealed for a Democratic Congress in a letter to party leaders at Indianapolis, Truman wrote that Eisenhower “will never get the authority and funds for an adequate program of international cooperation through a Republican Congress. He needs a Democratic Congress if he :s to go down in history as a success- ful president, who helped save the free world.” Leonard W. Hall, the GOP na- tional chairman, replied that the voters would first ‘consider the source” of Truman’s advice and then very likely “do the opposite of what Mr. Truman suggests.” recorded pie OCe' RSON — Dow! ae for Reservations ihany busy poopie bnew fret they do.
