Proposal for
Free Korea
Denies Wish for
Military Bases
NEW YORK-(A')-A six-point
United States program for creat-
ing a free and united Korea under
the guidance of the whole United
Nations was outlined by American
sources at the UN yesterday.
The Americans disclaimed any
wish for military bases in Korea
and called for urgent steps to re-
habilitate the war-torn land.
* *
THE AMERICAN program,
which dovetails closely with a pro-
posal being circulated by the Brit-
ish, follows in brief :
1. Korea should be free and
united.
2. The method of unification can
best be determined by a strong
United Nations commission in Ko-
rea with between seven and four-
teen members.
3. Korean people 'to be con-
sulted by the commission should
be chosen in free elections by
secret ballot on the basis of uni-
versal suffrage.
4. Strong emphasis on a pro-.
gram of rehabilitation and recon-
struction.
~r5. Settlement of the Korean
problem must not be dominated
by any one nation but must be
accomplished by the United Na-
ions in cooperation with the
Korean people.
6. It must be made certain that
free and independent Korea will
pose no threat to its neighbors.

Willilams Proclaims Atom may'

A4-Day' Proclamation
The following is Gov. William's Atom Day proclamation:
Forces which throughout time will affect the lives of all
mankind have been set in motion by the release of atomic energy.
If these forces are to build rather than destroy, they must
be identified and controlled. The sooner we learn to live with the
atom, the sooner will we benefit by the now incredible pgtentialities
of atomic science.
In these days of world-wide ideological conflict, the United
States and its free people must take the lead in applying the awe-
inspiring possibilities of atomic science to the promotion of
universal health and welfare. The University of Michigan is now
engaged on such a project at, its atomic research center.
To focus the attention of our people on the benficient poten-
tialities of atomic energy, the University of Michigan has proposed
that the first Monday in October be observed throughout the
nation as ATOM DAY.
Therefore, I, G. Mennen Williams, Governor of the State
of Michigan, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 2, 1950, as
ATOM DAY in Michigan, and urge all our people on that day
and every day thereafter to aid in putting atomic energy to work
as an instrument ,for the good of all the peoples of the world. ,
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of
Michigan, this twenty-seventh day of September, in the Year of
Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty, and the Common-
wealth of the One Hundred Fourteenth.

In his statement, Gov. Wil-
liams urged the people of Michi-
gan to use Atom day as a start-
ing date for a continual effort
to make atomic energy work for
the good of mankind.
"If-these forces (of atomic ener-
gy) are to build rather than de-
stroy, they must be identified and
controlled. The sooner we learn to
live with the atom, the sooner
will we benefit by the now in-
credible potentialities of atomic
science," the message said.
IN THE MEANTIME Phoenix
officials here were working out de-
tails of plans with the State De-
partment which would send the
special Atom Day program around
the world on the Voice of America.
The program, which will fea-

Commission, General Dwight
Eisenhower, president of Colum-
bia University and Warren Aus-

to the United Nations, will be
carried by Voice of America sta-
tions on Oct. 9 and 10.

ing of the drive for $6,500,000,
which will turn plans for the me-
morial atomic research center into
reality, will be told on regular
newscasts sent by the "Voice."
Final details for the day's pro-
gram are still being added by pro-
ject directors.

Army To Draft
300,000 Men
In SixMonths
WASHINGTON-(MP-The Army
yesterday announced plans to
draft 300,000 men in the next six
months.
This is in addition to 50,000
summoned in September which
was the first month of the draft
program touched off by the Kor-
ean outbreak and the vast defense
undertaking.
PREVIOUSLY, the Army had
called on selective service to sup-
ply 120,000 men in October ani*
November.
Thus the 300,000 to be in-
ducted in the next six months
represents an increase of 180,-
000 over the pending draft calls
already announced.
It raises the Army's total draft
program to 350,000.
ON CAPITOL HILL, Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Arm-
ed Services Committee reported
that the Army in the next six
months will draft 1,400 dentists
and 2,500 doctors; and call up 700
doctors in the reserve.
Washtenaw county's Draft Board
announced that its November in-
duction quota has been set at 70
men-12 more than the October
call.

President Declares U.S.
Must Not Cut Defenses

He told his weekly news con-
ference he is very happy about
the success of the forces routing
the North Korean Communists.
He said he hopes it will wind up
with a peace satisfactory to every-
body.
BUT he agrred with General
Omar N. Bradley, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the
greatest danger facing the UnitedI
States'is that it may let its guard
down after the war is over.
The President predicted there
would be what he called sincere
efforts in Congress to block de-
fense programs now under way,
when the fighting ceases.
But he said it would not be Ad-
ministration forces doing the
blocking and he hopes the effort
will not succeed, although the pro-
gram will take money.
T R U M A N parried questions
whether American forces would
pursue fleeing north . Koreans
across the 38th parallel dividing
North and South Korea. He could-
n't answer that now because that
line had not been reached, he said.
Other officials have said the
resolution gives MacArthur au-
thority to cross the parallel if
necessary to destroy the Commu-
nist army.

TOKYO -(P')- General Mac-
Arthur today turned over to
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee the capital city of
Seoul.
TOKYO-(A')-General Douglas
MacArthur was reported parading
in the streets of Seoul today in a
victory celebration with South Ko-
rean President Syngman Rhee
while elsewhere army officials re-
ported the North Korean Army in
complete rout and no longer an
organized force.
Preparations for the victory pa-
rade have been under way for sev-
eral days and a 50-piece marine
band was assembled for the occa-
sion.
AP CORRESPONDENT 0. H. P.
King reported from Seoul that the
marine musicians served as litter
bearers for the wounded while
waiting to play the victory march.
The general is expected to
hold conferences there on the
probability of United Nations
forces crossing the 38th parallel,
which divided North and South
Korea when the war broke on
June 25.
The forces he commands were
o ly a few miles from the para-
llel.
BRIG. GEN. Kong Nam Bong,
operations officer for the Repub-
lic's forces, predicted his troops
would reach the 38th parallel
within 24 hours. An Eighth Army
communique said two divisions of
South Korean troops were within
45 miles of the parallel.
Meanwhile United Nations
forces conducting a huge mop-
up operation in the south re-
captured Taejon, highway and
rail hub 90 miles south of Seoul;
Namwon, 42 miles northwest of
Chinju and Hadong, 20 miles
southeast of Chinju.
With the recapture of Taejon
came a flickering of hope that
Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, miss-
ing commander of the U.S. 24th
Divi'sion, might be alive as a Red
prisoner.
Dean was last reported outside
Taejon July 21, just after his cut-
up division had abandoned the
town.
The U.S. Eighth Army com-
mander, Lt. Gen. Walton H. Wal-
ker, told war correspondents at
his South Korean headquarters:
"The North Korean army is in,
complete rout and no longer ex-
ists as an organized force."
THE AIR FORCE, however, re-
ported that the North Koreans are
continuing to build air fields north
of the 38th parallel despite the
disintegration of their army in
South Korea.
Walker estimated that of the
once overwhelming Red force of
150,00 men in South Korea, more
than three-fourths have been or
will be destroyed.
Those who escaped the trap were
fleeing headlong to the north.
THE NEW Delhi radio broad-
cast a report that North Korean

Premier Kim Il Sung 14as ordered
all such Red troops as are able to
return north of the 38th parallel.
