Congress Votes More for Korea
While Aid Charges Prove False
WASHINGTON—(NEA)-—Congressional charges
that only S2OO worth of U, S. military aid had
redched Korea when the shooting started make
good headlines, but otherwise they aren’t borne out
by!the story. .
Republican Senators Ferguson of Michigan and
Knowland of California say they're going to de
mand fnvestigation of just how much aid Korea
did or did not get. Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson'’s
new Armed Services investigation sub-committee is
also feeling around on this, The question will
probably drag on as long as the Pearl Harbor in
vestigation and be just about as fruitless,
Somebody to blame is wanted badly. A quick
look at the record indicates that plenty of goats
are grazing around,
U. S. occupation forces in Korea consisted of the
24th Army Corps of two divisions under Lt. Gen.
John R. Hodge. When the Russians announced
they had pulled all their troops out of North Korea
on Dec. 31, 1948, it was felt that the U, S. should do
likewise, So the 24th Corps was deactivated Jan.
15, 1948, The last 1500 U. S. troops left Korea
six months later,
They left behind them 500 U. S. military ad
visors for the young Korean army of 65,000 men.
They also left behind them nearly all of their
equipment,
WHAT SOUTH KOREANS GOT
1t had an original cost of $56,000,000, a replace
ment value at 1949 prices of $110,000,000. Included
were:;
Small srms for a ground force of 100,000 men
plus 50,000,000 rounds of ammmunition, Two thou=
sand rocket launcherg and 2.4 inch bazookas plus
40,000 rounds of ammunition. An unspecified
number of 37 and 87 mm. anti-tank guns, 105 mm,
artillery, 60 and 80 mm, mortars plus 700,000
shells. Twenty lialson type planes, 4900 motor
vehicles and 79 Navy-type vessels including mines
sweepers, landing craft and picket boats.
Subsequently, the Koreans were given $150,000
worth of spare parts to keep this equipment in
service, This ought to dispose of the S2OO charges
mentioned in line one,
On the strength of this equipment, plus 40,000
Japanese rifles and ammunition given earlier to
arm their police organizations, the South Koreans
built up their forces to an estimated 96,000 men as
of June 25, 1950—a year after the Americans pulled
out,
It is noteworthy, however, that no tanks were
included in the above, and no air force, The com=
mon explanation for this is that the South Korean
Army was too anxious to attack the North Koreans,
This ean be chalked up as an error or a good
thing, depending on how you look at it. If the
South Koreans had been the aggressors, it is doubt«
ful if they would have got outside help. And they
might have got a beating.
WHAT SOUTH KOREANS WILL GET
As for later military assistance to Korea, Con
gress didn't complete action on MAP—the military
assistance programy—until Sept. 28, 1049. Then it
took three monthg t 0 ;sake &a arms aid agreement
with the Koreans and another three months to get
it ratified, on March 28, 1950, This was the first
date on which # was legally possible to furnish
new military aid to Korea.
Ten million dollars worth of arms aid was then
authorized for Korea, But it appears that only
$233,000 worth of supplies were delivered before
A-day, June 26, 1950. The main trouble seems to
« have been that Korea was not given a high priority
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The story of economic aid to Korea is ancther
headache of compounded delays. President Tru~
man first asked Congress for $150,000,000 for Ko~
rean aid on Jan. 7, 1949, On Oct, 6—nine months
later—Congress gave hinx $30,000,000. :
The following January, the House killed an ad
ditional $60,000,000 appropriation for Korean aid
by a vote of 193-191, A month later the House
reversed this action, but that still gave the Koreans
only 40 per ceat of the assistance the President had
originally asked for the period ending June 30,
1950.
In the last few months, Congress has approved
$100,000,000 economic assistance to Korea for the
“ year ending next June 30. And an undisclosed
share of the $303,000,000 military assistance ear
marked for the China area will go so Korea.
Investigating all these dabs and delays seems
somewhat pointless however, since aid to Korea
s now beyond the bookkeeping stage, Department
of Defense has instructed Gen. McArthur to give
all assistance necessary from his supplies in Japan,
He reguisitions replacements, More supplies are
xinfl direot. The total will pun Into billions of
llarg-—-not just millions.

is still known throughout the world as the great

DAILY MEDITATIONS
BY PETER EDSON
Once Driven to 38th Parallel,
Korean Reds Will Pose Problem
We are still struggling to hold a sizeable beach
head in Korea, Though our military leaders are
confident we can stay on the peninsula, there’s ad
mittedly a serious risk to our positions.
Yet even if we should be thrown into the sea, we
would come back to smash the Soviet-directed
aggression of the North Koreans: So it's fair to
ask at this critical period: How far should the ag
gressors be pushed back?
All our original plans called for driving them
only to the 38th parallel, the artificial boundary
established in Korea by U. S. and Russian occupy
ing forces at the end of World War 11.
Since then high officials both in the U, S. and
the United Nations have been wondering whether
that will be enough. No decision whether to go
father has been reached, and probably none wilk
be until the necessity for it is greater.
Suppose we decide in the end it is still wisest to
halt at the 38th parallel, This will leave the
North Koreans with a staging base from which to
mount a new attack southward when their Russian
masters again should consider the moment suit
able.
Tp be sure, if we give the northerners a thorough
pummeling in pushing them that far, their strength
will' certainly be badly depleted for a long time.
We already are pounding their industry and trans
portation heavily,
But the enemy might succeed in saving fair
amounts of material and pulling back substantial
remnants of his forces—all this to serve as the
nucleus for a new invading army at a later time.
One way to meet that prospect, of course, would
be simply to occupy South Korea for an indefinite
period. But this obviously could be no more than
a tentative solution of the Korean problem.
Korea should be unified, The United Nations
tried to achieve unity and failed because Russia
would not allow it. There is no reason to believe
she ever will so long as she controls the northern
area. Except, of course, on her own terms.
The UN now recognizes the South Korean gov
ernment as the legal government of all Korea.
That being so, the legal foundation exists for crush
ing the puppet North Koreans completely and oc«
cupying the whole peninsula with American and
UN military forces.
If peace and unity are ever to be brought to that
country, it can only be through the permranent wip
ing out of the invasion threat from North Korea,
Anything less than that means an armed truce be
tween South and North which could be broken at
will of the proved aggressors. :
Should the U, S. and UN decision be to continue
fighting north of the 38th parallel, the move must
have full UN sanction. It can’t be an American
effort, but must be a world attempt to restore last«
ing quiet to a trouble spot,
One might argue that a drive over the 38th
parallel involveg risk of general war, The answer
to that is: no more than does the present action, If
Russia wants war, we shall have it.. If she does
not, plunging into North Korea will not produce it.
There won't be a getting together of conservatives
unless they abandon the name of the Republican
party, I believe the Southern people will always
vote the Democratic ticket.—Ellis Arnall, ex-Gov
ernor of Georgia.
For the first time in many months occupational
shortages, besides the usual hard to fill undesirable
and low paying jobs, are being reported.-—Robert C.
Goodwin, director, Bureau of Employment Security.
Even a battalion of Philippine or Pakistan troops
would dramatize that this is in no way a white
man's imperial war of exploitation.~—Sen, William
H, Benton (D, Conn.) on Korean war.
I never did perform ~ ..in the nude. I only
create an illusion of nudity, But I won't tell you
how I do it. My act . ~ is art.—Sally Rand, fan
dancer.
The Korean war is not the U, S.’s war; it is the
UN’s. Russia is testing the UN and if it had failed
to act it would have ended then and there.—James
F. Byrnes, former Secretary of State.
It is the business of government to be big in a
country where nothing else is small.—Former Con
gressnran T, V, Smith. :
1 have always believed the States Righters were
Republicans under the skin—State Rep. Thomas
Russell of Louisiana.
I no longer lock like a ball player, — Steve
O'Neill, manager of Boston Red Sox, explaining
why he no longer appears on coaching lines,
The Soviet system in its march toward world
domination acts wherever nationalism and social
revolt offer an opportunity.—Gen. Charles De
Gaulle of France, :
In the international realm, where we cannot stand
alone, we have stout and loyal allies; never write
off even the least among them.—Gen., Dwight D.
Eisenhower,

Correct Handling, Harvesting
Of Cotfon Bring Extra Profifs
Proper harvesting and handling
of seed cotton in Georgia, result
ing in higher grade lint, can in
crease profits for cotton farmers
from $lO to S2O a bale, and at the
same time eliminate a great deal
of worry and expense for the gin
ner, James F, Forehand, Extension
Service cotton ginning specialist,
points out,
The grade of lint produced here
has declined appreciably in the
last few years and complaints on
the condition of seed cotton deliv

Although modern gins are
equipped to do a good job of pro
cessing rough-harvested cotton, no
plant can give as good a sample
rom wet, trashy, excessively
tramped cotton, as can be obtain
ed from the same gin with day,
clean fluffy cotton. 2
| Damaging Materials
~ Foreign materials such as dirt,
stalks, leaves, rocks, matches, bits
of metal and clothing not only
damage the grade of cotton but
can cause serious damage to gin
equipment. This brings slowdowns
during periods when greatest ef
liciency is imperative, Metals and
objects striking machinery during
the ginning process often cause
sparks which set off gostly gin
fires.
Asphalt particles in cotton are
the sources of eontinuous and in
creasing complaints from gotton
mills. Cotton thus stained may be
undetected and processed into tex
tiles, damaging the fabric to such
an extent that it must be sold as
seconds. There are many oppor
tunities for asphalt to get into cot
ton during its long journey from
the field to the textile mill.
To obtain better grades by
proper harvesting and handling of
uéeit:; seed cotton farmers are urg
e .
(1) Supervise field picking work
to eliminate wet, trashy cotton.
(2) Defoliate cotton if advised
by county agent. Deloliation elim
inates the source of much trash,
allows faster picking, more dew
free hours for picking, and in gen
eral tends to increase the grade of
the sample.
(3) Avoid too much tramping of
cotton in wagons, trucks and trail
ers, since this embeds leaf par-«
ticles, grass seed and other trash
in the lint. ;
(4) Keep cotton clean and dry
‘after it has been harvested. Wag«
ons or trailers should be clean be
fore loading and the seed cotton
protected with tarpaulins.

C ll'ng Layers
For More Profif
A sure way to reduce feed costs
in the egg laying flock at this
season is to cull early moulting
birds, County Agent D. L. Branyon
suggested to Clarke county farmers
this week,
“Those early moulters are low
producing birds at best and most
of them do not pay for their
keep,” the agent warned.
In citing the meed for culling
poultry flocks, Mr. Branyon con
tinued, “some culling should be
done throughout the year, but
‘there are certain times that are
‘better than others for determining
the good and poor layers. August
and September are two of the
best months in the year for doing
this job.”
A hen that has been out of pro
duction for some time and is not
getting ready to lay again soon
may berecognized by the shriveled
scaly comb and wattles, small dry
vent, hard abdomen, and close~
setting pelvic bones. The agent
continued that a good method of
culling is to handle the birds at
night while they are roosting.
