Rhee Demands Offensive
To Drive Chinese Reds
Out of North Korea
SEOUL, (JP)— President Syng
man Rhee Tuesday demanded an
immediate all-out offensive to
drive Chinese Reds out of North
Korea.
The South Korean leader de
clared “We can do so now,” with
out the help of Japanese or Chi
nese Nationalist troops. And he
indicated he didn’t think the move
would draw Russia into the con
I flict because the Soviet Union is
I not ready for a world war.

Execution Former Czech
Red Leader Forerunner
Of Widespread Purges
By RICHARD A. O'REGAN
VIENNA, Austria, (IP)—Rudolf
Slansky, former boss of the
Czechoslovak Communist party,
was hanged Wednesday with 10
others who once worshipped at
the shrine of Joseph Stalin. They
died at Prague’s Pankrac prison
as traitors to Stalinism.
Prague radio announced the
executions, carried out only six
days after the 11 were sentenced
to death. This foreshadowed a
possible new and even broader
purge of Czechoslovak Commun
ist ranks.
Eight of those executed, includ
ing Slansky, were Jews whose
confessions in their trial had the
appearance of a concerted attack
by the Comunist party on world
Jewry.
Most of the purge victims had
been high in Communist party
councils, giving the trial the ap
pearance of a climax of a struggle
for power between Slansky and
President Klement Gottwald. But
the anti-Zionist tone of the pro
ceedings indicated the purge was
to spread to all the other satellite
Communist countries and perhaps
even in the Soviet republics in
side the USSR.
Within the Soviet Union itself
were signs of a growing reign of
terror, particularly in republics
such as the Ukraine.

South African Bid To
Increase World Price of
Gold Appears Doomed
LONDON. (JP)—A bid by gold
producing South Africa to win
the British Commonwealth’s sup
port of a higher world price of
the shiny metal appeared doomed
to failure today.
'Official sources reported most
of the nine nations attending the
top - level Commonwealth econ
omic parley here are against the
move.
Deputy Premier N. C. Havenga
of South Africa claimed a higher
gold price had brought consider
able life to gold share on the
London and Johannesburg mar
kets in the past few days.
Political issues also were loom
ing. Prime Minister Churchill is
expected to renew Britain’s re
quest for representation in the
Pacific Defense Alliance of Aus
tralia, New Zealand and the
United States. Two past requests
have been refused.
