"I Don't Care"

Said an old Syngman Rhee crony last week: when Rhee gets a critical note from President Truman or the State Department, his attitude is--"I know you don't like me and I don't care." Last week, obviously not caring how his acts affect his allies or the Korean war, stubborn, 77-year-old President Rhee kept trying to get his highhanded way and smashing at whatever interfered.

P: When the Voice of America in news broadcasts quoted editorials critical of Rhee, the South Korean chief silenced the Voice by denying it the use of his country's ten-station network.

P: To the Assembly went a Rhee ultimatum: adopt his proposals for presidential elections by the people (instead of by the Assembly as the constitution provides) or face dissolution. Said Rhee: "I may have to be obedient to the people . . . And the question will be very easily settled." Rhee's police still hold eleven opposition Assemblymen incommunicado.
