...late 1950, Army Corporal Mitchell Red Cloud Jr., an American Indian from Wisconsin, died gallantly, won the U.S. Medal of Honor for holding his position, though mortally wounded. At ceremonies earlier this month, honoring Red Cloud and other Indians killed in Korea, peppery old (82) Korean President Syngman Rhee loosed a surprise blast at some of Hollywood's vaguely historical horse operas. Cried Rhee: "Movie producers [should] stop making films that show American Indians being killed by white men. It is very, very unwise and inhumane. The Communists are making use of such films to back up their claims...
...picture accompanying your Feb. 25 story on Admiral Radford shows him standing beside a scroll. This scroll [see cut] was drawn and given to the admiral by President Syngman Rhee. Its Chinese characters...
...year to go until West Germany's next general election, German voters had been presented with what seemed to them clear evidence that Konrad Adenauer's credit in Washington was decreasing.

This week, at 70, Ewha is not only the largest (4,800 students) women's university in Korea, it is also one of the most respected of all the nation's universities. Said President Syngman Rhee at the 70th anniversary celebration: "I express my thanks to God that our women's university has grown so large and will continue to grow. For the past 70 years, Ewha has steadfastly gone forward with a good, true goal...
...Rhee, of course, was reelected, but by the lowest margin of his career-barely more than half the vote. The late P. H. Shinicky polled an extraordinary ghost vote of nearly 1,500,000. But the real surprise of the ballot box was the defeat of Rhee's hand-picked vice presidential candidate by Rhee's bitter foe, husky, affable, 56-year-old Chang Myun, who anglicizes his name as John M. Chang. A onetime friend of Rhee's and former Korean Ambassador to Washington, U.S.-educated (Manhattan College) Chang thus became eligible to succeed Rhee...
