North Korea's Red Leaders
Are Little-Known in the West
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—There probably never
was @ war in which the leaders on one side —the
guys who started it—were as little known as are
the North Korean puppet rulers and generals of
today. Communist China has its Mao Tse-tung,
Indo-China its Ho Chi-Minh, but North Korea has
o~ly unknowns,
in real control of the situation are the head men
o some 3,000 to 4,000 Russian “advisers.” They
+ re left behind in North Korea when the Rus
¢ 'n oocupation forces ostensibly withdrew last
1" ember. Who the real bosses are, who furnishes
t" o brains and does the generaling, nobody knows
o ‘side of Moscow and North Korea itself.
“he day after the North Korean attack began,
P ongvang radio gave one feeble clue. It announ
ced the names of & seven-nran military committee
with ebsolute power to rule the Democratic Peo
ples’ Republic of North Korea.
There are three concealed belly laughs in this, It
isn't & republic and it isn’t democratic if the com
mitiee of seven has absolute power. And the akso
lute power is held by the Ruskie masters who tell
ihe stooges what to do anyway. .
Intelligence reports do yield some surprising in
. mation on the seven. Most of them are revolu
tonists and political exiles with long prison rec
¢ is. Some were educated in Japan, some in
China’s Whampoa Military Acadenry. A few are
1 loscow-trained professional conrmies. i
HERO BY PROXY
Kim Il Sung—the last names are given first—is
chairman of the committee of seven and ostensible
premier of North Korea, but that isn’t his. real
name. The original Kim Il Sung was a guerrilla
leader in Korea, believed to have been killed in
Manchuria. The Russians took the present whoever
he-wes, gave him Kim’s name and tried to build him
up as a national hero. He has been decorated by
Stalin for World War II services.
One of three vice-premiers and minister of for
cign affairs is Pak Huen Yung. He was an active
commie organizer in Korea from 1920 to 1925. He
was gradg}ated from the Lenin Institute, Moscow, in
1930, -enteted the underground and was at one time
Leld prisoner by the Japs. In 1945 he was secretary
general of the Communist Party of South. But when
an order was given for his arrest, he fled to North
Korea.
Marshal Choe Yongyun is minister of national
defense and titular commander-in-chief of the
North Korean armies, He is a graduate of China's
Whampoa Military Academy, and a veteran of the
Communists’ famous Eighth Route Army.
Choe was exiled fronr Korea in 1925. During the
war he was identified as commander of the Chi
nese Communist Volunteer Corps in Yenan. He re
turned to Korea with the Russians in 1945, becom
ing chairman of a so-called Democratic party,
which he converted into a Communist front. Then
he became director of public safety.
KIM COMMON IN KOREA
The second vice-premier is Kim Chaek, who is
also minister of industry. He is known to have
joined the Comnrunist Party in 1926 and to have
been graduated from Moscow’s Communist univer
sity. He was imprisoned by the Japanese in Seoul
in 1927. He is a top commie, and he substitutes for
Kim Il Sung whenever the premier is absent. The
two Kims are, however, no relation. The family
name Mim is as comnron in Korea as Smith is in
English.
Kim 11 Sung is related to the third vice-premier,
Hong Myonghin, having married his daughter,
Hong is a curious misfit in the North Korean
ruling clique. He is over 60, a Japanese-educated
scholar versed in the Chinese classics. He published
a newspaper and taught in Chosen Christian Col
lege in Seoul before the war.
Hong got into politics in 1946 after the libera
tion as & moderate leftist in South Korea. Two
yoars later he joined other moderates in opposition
to South Korea’s United Nations elections and to
President Syngman Rhee.
Chong Chuntaek is chairman of North Korea's
planning committee. He is about 40, an industrial
expert educated by the Japs in Seoul’s higher tech
nical school during their occupation of Korea.
Pak Ilu is listed as minister of internal security
in the North Korean cabinet. He has a 20-year rec
ord as & Conmunist, and was a leader in the anti-
Japenese resistance movement in the 1930’5. He
fled from Korea to Yenan in 1941 and has close
links to the Chinese Communist movement, in which
he organized the Korean Revolutionary party and
army. Fis main job now is head of secret police.
Our progress of civil defense throughout the
VUnited States at this stage approaches that of zero.
~Nuclear Scientist Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, on “hys
terie’ in civil defense plans.
Congress Should Stay on Job
And Tackle Statehood Bills
Notwithstanding the Korean war, Congress is still
planning to go home August 1. This being an elec
tion year the intention is understandable; but it is
hardly wise or practical.
With every passing day it becorxes clearer that
the war in Korea is not to be a brief affair. Already
President Truman is seeking more money to wage
it. Even if the fighting doesn’t spread to other areas,
he may want to come in at any time with requests
for still more money, controls on the civilian econ
omy, more extensive manpower mobilization,
Moreover, the new demands thus far submitted
are causing congressional leaders to condense their
schedule and squeeze out legislation that deserves
attention at this session,
A prime example is afforded by the 4"Honse-a\p
proved bills providing statehood for Hawaii and
Alaska. Recently these measures were endorsed by
the Senate Interior Affairs Committee, Chances of
ultimate .enactment are strong right now.
Much congressional time and taxpayers’ money
already has been spent in advancing the statehood
proposals this far. They’'ve been kicking around
Capitol Hill for years and this is the closest they
have ever come to final adoption.
1t would be not only a foolish waste but a toying
with the country’s security to let this legislation die
at this point, Both Hawaii and Alaska are vital de
fense outposts in the Pacific, the area most imme
diately threatened by the Korean war. Were the
two territories woven more tightly into the nat
ional fabric, the likelihood is they'd get better pro
tection.
General Eisenhower and many others have called
attention to the weakness of Alaskan defenses. Ha
wail is better off, but hardly in ideal shape.
Senators don’t want to take the bills up because
they’re controversial and debate would be long.
What this really means is that Congress is taking a
politics-as-usual approach to the Korean war, and
simply doesn't wish to spoil its plans for getting
back home to begin campaigning.
Naturally nobody likes to have his plans upset.
Our armed forces fighting in Korea undoubtedly
were happier living the relatively soft life of occu
pation troops in Japan. But they have no choice.
And if Congress wants to measure up in this emer
gency, its course of duty is also plain.
Let the lawmakers recess for several weeks in
September and October when the hot campaigning
develops. But otherwise they ought to stick by their
posts.
.
Senate Acted Wisely In-
Giving Pike Another Term
Responsible citizens will surely hope there’s no
repetition of the events surrounding Senate confir
mation of Sumner T. Pike to a new four-year term
on the Atomic Energy Commission.
In approving Pike, 55 to 24, the Senate brushed
aside an adverse 5 to 4 report handed down by the
Senate mrembers of the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee.
The four Republicans and one Democrat who op
posed Pike in committee did not specify their ob
jections. Instead they made only vague charges of
incompetence to reporters outside the committee
room,
Pike's three fellow commissioners testified to his
ability, loyalty and integrity. It was noted that he
is the last remaining member of the original com
mission, and thus the only one who %nows the
-whole atomic story from the start.
. No witnesses were called against Pike, and he
himself was not asked to testify, though he was
present at the committee session. Yet the adverse
vote followed. X
It was no atonement for their previous failure
that Pike’s critics spelled out their objections a lit
tle more in Senate floor debate. Then it was too
late to hear the pertinent witnesses, to hear Pike's
defense. .
From the debate it became clear that Senators
Millikin and Johnson, the two Colorado senators,
were angry at Pike because he favors hoarding Col
orado uranium reserves for emergencies and using
foreign supplies instead. Uraniuny, of course, is the
basic material in present atomic work.
Senator Hickenlooper's chief complaint appears
to be Pike'’s alleged laxity in an incident involving
transmission of certain atomic information to Bri
tain in 1948. Hickenlooper believes the information
should not have been passed on and that Pike
could have prevented it. 3
Senator McMahon, chairman of the Joint Com
mittee, told the Senate, however, that Pike’s indi
vidual responsibility in the British incident was not
so great as Hickenlooper suggests.
Plainly both these complaints, and any others,
ought to have been threshed out at the committee
level where there was some chance of arriving at
the facts. In refusing to present their case there, the
five objecting senators have been derelict in their
duty, To say the least, their performrance has been
mysterious.
The Senate acted wisely in ignoring their adverse
report and giving Pike an other term.
R
I am an optimist and always have been. I proved
that in 1948, I think.—President Truman.
The United States will not allow war to occur.and
she will maintain peace because nobody will dare
to start one.—Ambassador Warren R. Austin, U. S.
representative to the United Nations.

Completes Movie
About Tapeworm
ATLANTA—After two years
work, scientific film specialists of
the Communicable Disease Center,
Public Health Service have com
pleted a motion picture biography
of one of those strange human
parasites, the tapeworm.
The film’s first scheduled show

be held August 17-24 at the Fifth
International Congress of Micro
biologists in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Star of the movie is the broad

hosts to complete its life cycle, the
film shows. They are a fish-eat
ing mammal, such as man or the
dog, and two aquatic animals, a
crustacean called a copepod, and
a fish, usually a species of pike.
Improper sewage disposal makes
possible completion of the cycle
from man to fish.
The adult tapeworm is ivory
colored, attains a length of from
three to 30 feet in man, and may
live there for a year or more.
Nearly 10,000,000 persons in the
cooler regions of the mnorthern
hemisphere (in the U. S.: northern
Minnesota and northern Michigan)
are parasitized by this tapeworm,
the film reveals. Those who harbor
the parasite may develop a blood
condition resembling pernicious
anemia.
American housewives far from
the endemic regions may become
infected in their kitchens, scien
tists say. They run this risk by
tasting such foods as improperly
cooked gefulte fish or minced fish
while preparing them for the table.
The film advises never eating
fish. until it has been thoroughly
cooked or frozen.
Far too technical for public dis
tribution, the film portrays for
public health scientists and labora
tory workers the life cycle of this
tapeworm.
Approximately half of the 16-
minute black-and-white motion
picture was shot through the
microscope.
The Audio-Visual Production
Services of the Communicable
Disease Center in Atlanta pro
duced the film. Dr. Malcolm S.
Ferguson was project supervisor.
Mrs. Sylvia C. Day was film edi
tor, and cameramen were Seymour
Black and John Gust.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.—
(AP)—Dick Umberger, Winston-

runs during a recent 27-inning
stretch in the Class B Carolina
League. He blanked Durham 1-0,
shut out Burlington 11-0 and beat
Fayetteville, 4-2. But the tall

over the feat, Last year at Leban

Trucks Pound
Highways In
6-Month Test
LA PLATA, Md.—(NEA)—The
most deliberate beating ever given
a highway is being pounded out by
a fleet of heavily loaded trucks
lumbering along day and night,
back and forth over a mile-long
strip of road in Southern Mary
land.
So far the highway has survived
better than the drivers. Two sea
soned truck jockeys quit after one
week of their monotonous grind
to nowhere,
But when the test ends in mid-
December, some highway officials
think the three-lane stretch of
concrete road may be ready to
give up, too. At least it will pro
vide engineers with the answers
to the big puzzle of the highways:
Do big trucks really break up
our roads? If so, what Joad weight
does the serious damage? And how
fast does the break-up occur?
Share Costs
Eleven states and the U. S. Bu
reau of Public Roads are sharing
the costs of the test, which grew
out of a suggestion by the Mary
land State Roads Commission.
Although only eight trucks are
being used, their operation has
been scheduled to pound out the
equivalent of 20 years of normal
wear in six months.
The trucks roll day and night,
rain or shine, seven days a week.
On an average of once every min
ute, every slab of eoncrete in the
test strip gets a multi-ton jolt.
Drivers work eight-hour shifts—
and they have no pleasure traffic
to worry about. The road is a sec
tion of U. S. Route 301, between
La Plata and the Potomac, and it
has been closed off to the public.
Measure Beating
To measure what the repeated
jolts do to the road, a corps of
technicians from the Highway Re
search Board has set up instru
ments that produce charts, graphs
and pictures of the beating the
road is taking.
The trucks operate in pairs, each
pair being loaded with a different,
but carefully measured weight.
Lightest load is 18,000 pounds, the
