REMEMBER THE 660,000-MAN ROK ARMY !
With the spotlight on Geneva these days, it has
been easy to forget the Asian problems that seemed
so earth-shaking but a short time ago. But we are
reminded by Korean Ambassador Ben C. Limb that
they are all still there. The Formosa tension remains.
Quemoy Island and the Matsus have not moved an inch.
The swift industrial expansion of Japan and its drive
for trade with the Reds go on. Nehru is still “neutral”
—by his own peculiar standards. Communist infiltra
tion and turmoil continue in Indo-China, a fact of which
we have been reminded only because the fabulous
Perle Mesta was among the westerners rescued from
the recent Saigon rioting.
But the Republic of Korea, Col. Limb recently
assured us in a San Francisco speech, can be “the
world’s anchor in Asia.” The ROK army, now 660,000
strong, and which was manning 70 percent of the front
line positions at the end of the Korean fighting, says
the ambassador, is described by Gen, James A. Van
' Fleet as “the largest, most loyal and most modern anti
communist army of any country in Asia.”
Col. Limb further points out that his country “is
the only land base for the military power of the free
world on the Asian continent. As such it remains a
bastion of democracy. So long as the Republic of Korea
remains free, with a strong and well-equipped army,
the Red imperialists cannot count confidently on the
indefinite possession of their huge Chinese conquest.’'
In his address to a joint session of Congress a year
ago, President Syngman Rhee said: “We shall never
forget that from our valleys and mountains the souls
. of American and Korean soldiers went up together to
God. May the Almighty cherish them as we cherish
their memory.”
Nor will Americans forget. But we should remem
ber, too, and consider well the advice of Col. Limb
that it is on this hallowed ground that the free world,
if need be, can best mount its defense against the Asian
Reds.

Walsh Boy Found
(Continued from Page One)
been chasing ptarmigan and had
climbed over a divide east of the
road and had covered more ter
ritory than anyone had antici
pated.
When brought to town, Timmy
was reported apparently none th^
worst for his 18 hours spent out
in the open.
First to reach the child, it is
reported, after the signal from the
plane, were Dave Willoya and
Jerome Trigg Jr.
' Local business men, friends of
the Walshes, and total strangers
to them, searched all night and
all morning until the child was
found. Even the city fire siren
was sounded to alert those who
were not aware of the search
under way.
Other citizens assisted by con
tributing hundreds of sandwiches
and gallons of hot coffee which
was sent out to the searchers
throughout the night.
Nome has experienced floods
and fires and other catastrophes
and has always shown a commun
ity spirit of helping one another
but never has it been so com
pletely eyident as in the search
for little Timmy who probably
was the only one concerned who
was not worried.
Captain Indicted
For Misusing
Air Force Papers
WASHINGTON (JV—The Justice
Department yesterday announced
the indictment and arrest of a for
mer Air Force captain and con
gressional investigator on charges
of misusing a classified Air Force
document.
The man is R. S. Van Fosson,
who resigned from the Air Force
last Nov. 23 and was hired the
jiext day as an $8,200-a-year in
vestigator for the House Un-Am
erican Activities Committee.
He left the committee last Jan
uary.
At the time of his employment
at the capitol, a committee source
said Van Fosson’s separation from
the Air Force was associated with
his delivery to the committee of a
secret document.
Van Fosson was arrested by
U.S. marshals at his home in Sil
ver Springs, Maryland.
At the same time a sealed in
dictment returned by a federal
grand jury here Wednesday was
opened in district court.
It charged the 36-year-old for
mer Air Force captain with un
lawfully removing and “convert
ing to his own use” a classified
document from the files of the
Air Force Office of Special In
vestigations.
The indictment itself disclosed
that the document related to Jay
Lovestone, general secretary of
the Communist Party in the Uni
ted States 25 years ago, and now
executive secretary of the Free
Trade Union Committee of the
AFL.

Stevenson Will
Run Again,
Talk Indicates
CHICAGO Ub—Adlai E. Steven
son was all but an officially an
nounced candidate today for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion next year.
In an informal and unusual
news conference Wednesday night
the 1952 Democratic nominee
made it plain to all who came ,to
question he will announce in No
vember he is running again.
Without committing himself fi
nally at this time, Stevenson out
lined what he regards as a possi
ble winning Democratic campaign
against President Eisenhower. He
said he doesn’t believe Eisenhow
er is “invulnerable” despite the
outcome of a similar race three
years ago.
The Stevenson campaign credo,
as revealed at a crowded news
conference after a cocktail party
and dinner given by former Dem
ocratic National Chairman Ste
phen A. Mitchell, was this:
1. Eisenhower has “sharply
reversed” the previous GOP for
eign policies in favor of “bold and
vigorous” action at the Geneva
Big Four conference but those
policies could change for the
worse again “at any moment.”
2. While the Eisenhower Ad
ministration now seems to agree
generally with the Democrats in
Congress that action is needed on
education, health, housing and
highways programs, the Republi
cans only make promises “and the
Democrats believe in action.”
3. He has “some misgivings”
about the threat offered by the
Republicans to federal develop
ment of natural resources and
what he said is the Eisenhower
Administration’s oppositon to “the
Democratic concept of govern
ment for all of tlie people and not
the few.” \
