Ladejinsky Hired
By FOA for Job
In Viet Nam
WASHINGTON, UR—The For
eign Operations Administration
<FOA) announced today it has
hired Wolf Ladejinsky, fired as a
security risk from his post as
agricultural attache in the Tokyo
embassy, to do a land reform job
in Viet Nam.
Foreign Aid Administrator Har
old Stassen said in the announce
ment that FOA has reviewed Lad
ejinsky’s file and found him “eli
gible for certification for security
and loyalty.”
He commented that “in this
very difficult matter of evaluat
ing personnel from a security
standpoint, individuals sometimes
reach different conclusions, even
as judges of any court sometimes
have dissenting opinions.”
The shift to FOA, which had
been predicted, was at least a
partial solution for a problem that
' had ranged the Agriculture Dept,
and the State Dept, in opposition
to each other.
Ladejinsky had security clear
ance from the State Dept, but his
post was shifted to Agriculture
Dept, control by an act of the last
Congress and Secretary of Agri
culture Benson, on advice of his
security officer, ruled against re
tention of Ladejinsky in the at
tache position.
In the FOA job, Ladejinsky’s
pay will be $11,803 a year, the
same amount he has been getthag
from Agriculture Dept, funds.
Also figuring in the controversy
was a letter, made public at the
Agriculture Department, which
some Jewish leaders viewed as
having anti-Semitic implications.
The author, George N. Vitt of
New York, denied any such inten
tions. Vitt, a Russian emigre, is
industrial editor of American Ex
porter Publications in New York.
Secretary Benson said Monday
it was a “mistake” for the letter
to have been released and de
clared he was “shocked that anti
Semitic implications have been
raised.”
Vitt’s letter was shown to news
men by Benson’s executive assis
tant. In it, Vitt praised Benson’s
refusal to allow Ladejinsky to
continue as agricultural attache
and said a “goodly share” of Rus
sian revolutionaries who came to
this country were “found among
the Russian Jews.”,
Joseph F. Barr, national com
mander of the Jewish War Veter
ans, said at the White House he is
not satisfied with Benson’s posi
tion regarding the Agriculture De
partment’s handling of the letter.
In a statement, Ladejinsky said
he regrets having to end his work
in Japan but believes his new as
signment “will offer opportunities
for constructive accomplishment.”
As to Benson, Ladejinsky said
he would pass no judgment. “I
will leave that to his fellow men,”
he said.

TOKYO, lvP>—Kyodo News Ser

ing item, quoted here in full, in its

Japan's Defense Policy
Still Based on Cooperation
With U.S., Radford Hears
TOKYO, Ut)—Japan’s defense
policy “is firmly based on long
range cooperation with the United
States,” Defense Chief Seichi
Omura Tuesday told Adm. Arthur
W. Radford, chairman of the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Omura told newsmen, after
meeting with Radford, that he had
assured the admiral that the De
cember change of government “in
no way altered Japan’s basic
stand” of cooperation with the
United States.
He said he also stressed:
1. American loans of ships, air
craft, and war materiel are indis
pensable for implementation of
Japan’s plan to expand its own
defense forces.
2. Japan’s share of the cost of
supporting U.S. forces based in
Japan for Japan’s defense should
be cut 45 million dollars because
Japan is budgeting that much
more for building up its own de
fense force.

Breaking Up-Down Habit
HONG KONG, UPi—'The Kwong
ming Daily News of Peiping has
adopted a new look. Its new type
setting machine sets Chinese
characters from right to left hori
zontally instead of vertically, the
New China News Agency reported
Tuesday from Peiping.
“In its inaugural issue with the
new look the editors published a
long letter to readers stating:
‘Writing horizontally is conform
ing to the living habits of the Chi
nese people,’ ” the news agency
added.
Chinese folklore recounts that
vertical Chinese writing started
when an emperor tried to abolish
all history by burning written
works. Scholars urged the people
to make records by writing on
halves of bamboo poles, top to
bottom, and then glueing the
halves together.

Missing Man Safe
In Cape Lisbourne
After 17 - Day Trek
A dramatic 17 days of silence
was broken last Friday when word
was finally received from a man
who left Point Lay by dog team
Dec. 13 for Point Hope and never
arrived.
The 74th Air Rescue Squadron
at Ladd AFB was prepared for a
search mission when pilot John
Cross of Cape Lisbourne sent
word that Owen Tuckfield had
arrived in that village after a
forced wait in an isolated cabin.
Tuckfield expected to be in
Point Hope by Dec. 24, giving
himself 11 days for the 150-mile
trip. His scheduled route was
coastal to Cape Lisbourne and
south over Portage to Kukpuk
River and Point Hope.
The bulletin from Cape Lis
bourne was sketchy. All known
is that Tuckfield holed up in a
cabin somewhere between Point
Lay and Lisbourne and waited
out the weather. It is not known
how much he ate or how warm he
was. Three of his dogs died during
the 17-day trek and vigil.
The bulletin added that Tuck
field is well.
It was reported that the long
time resident of Point Lay was
traveling to Point Hope to spend
the holidays with friends.
A daughter, Ann Marie, was
born Dec. 22 to Edward and Laura
Ahkolik at their home on D St.
