ROK Official Says U.S. Must Drive Reds From North The United States will have to drive Russia out of North Korea if Korea is ever to be united again under a democratic form of government, Young Han Choo, consul general of the Republic of Korea, said here today.

Every day that goes by without action being taken against the Russians strengthens the Red hold on Korea, he said. Choo was in Corvallis on a two-day stopover to visit Korean students attending Oregon State college. Thirteen students from the Republic are taking courses here. There are 3500 in the United States. His territory takes in the states west of the Mississippi river.

The slight, graying consul general indicated a quick sense of humor, but also a deep conviction that the only way his country was to advance would be through the assistance of the United States. If the United States would "give Russia a shellacking" in Korea, it would do more good for world peace than any other means available he declared. Unless action is taken soon, he said, Russian propaganda would prevail and the Reds would take over the entire country. UN Gets Blame Choo blamed the United Nations for the predicament his country is in today. It was his personal belief, he said, that if the United Nations had not held out for a CHERYL CRANE, daughter of Actress Lana Tur ner and Steve Crane, rests her head oa her father's shoulder as she arrived at Beverly Hi lis police station where the wai booked for the murder of Johnny Stompanato, one-time bodyguard to Mickey Cohen.

New storms threatened in Northern California but officials in the disaster region assumed a fatalistic attitude. Good weather or bad, things were bound to get worse, they said. Cloudy skies and scattered showers continued over the Carolina Coast where tides swept into Charleston, S.C. streets Friday. The U.S.

Weather Bureau issued warnings of beach erosion and lowland flooding in the wake of the 7.4-foot tide which splashed over the coast. Thunderstorms, often accompan ied by 50 mile-per-hour winds. raked down the Plains states into Texas. California Hardest Hit The big weather story remained in Northern California Where 12 persons already have lost their lives in the $12 million onslaught of hail, rain and snow during the past week. Continuous downpours have affected 4,309 California families, the Red Cross said, and 2,171 homes and 239 businesses were damaged.

President Eisenhower declared the state a disaster area Friday and released federal funds for storm victims after a formal plea from Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and consultations with California con gressmen. A respite from the week-long storms Friday gave volunteer road crews, many of them rein forced with convicts, a chance to barricade rising rivers with lev ees. As the Pajara River south of San Francisco receded, however it eroded levees and carried them along with it.

The coastal storm farther north was termed the most spectacular In 10 years. It ripped two destroyers, the USS La Valette and USS Terry, loose from their towlines and buffeted the ships for three hours until a tug secured them once again. California weather officials said the state's condition would worsen no matter which prevailed, rain or shine. More rain would only multiply damages while a warm spell could melt down snow packs in the High Sierras and send them cascading into the lowlands. The storm center in the midwest touched light snows in mountain areas.

Two Inches of new snow fell sine? Friday night at Lander, and another inch at Capser, Wyo. There were widely scattered showers in the Ohio Valley and along the South Atlantic Coast, but no amounts fell.

Her face appeared drawn. She posed for pictures but said nothing to reporters. Police said her daughter, Cheryl, who plunged an eight-inch carving knife into the stomach of underworld character Johnny Stompanato, 41, Friday night at the Turner Bel-Air home, would stay in Beverly Hills jail "for the rest of the investigation." The arrangement worked out by Police Chief Clinton Anderson, filmland Attorney Jerry Geisler and Superior Judge Clarke E. Stephens, meant Cheryl would not have to go to juvenile hall in Los Angeles County jail. Under Sedation Jail attendants said the tall, pretty teen-ager slept until 7:30 a.m.

under sedation. The girl, daughter of Miss Turner by one of her four marriages, told police she rammed the knife into Stompanato after a wild argument in the actress' bedroom. She had a breakfast of bacon and eggs, milk, orange juice and coffee which was brought to her by a friend of the family, who purchased it at a corner drug store. "She ate very well," said a jail matron. With her at breakfast in addition to Lane and Geisler, were Cheryl's father, Steve Crane, and his attorney, Arthur Crowley.

Lana's agent said that although the glamorous actress had been given a sedative she did not sleep during the night. At 4:30 a.m., the agent, Glenn Rose, said she was taken to his apartment in evade the press and the constantly ringing phone. Stompanato, one time bodyguard of Mickey Cohen and a former associated of the assassinated Bugsjr Siege, fell to the floor in the doorway of Lana's bedroom and died. After Stompanato fell, Miss Turner bent over his body, took out a handkerchief and wiped up blood that had spread across his chest. Then she began crying.

Booked On Murder Charge Later, as Cheryl was booked on suspicion of murder shortly be fore 3 a.m. pst, she said: I wish I were like my mother. At least she is able to cry. I can't." Cheryl said the 41 year old Stompanato had threatened to mutilate Lana at the height of the argument. The girl said she ran into the kitchen, picked up the knife and thrust it into Stompan- ato's stomach "with all my might" as he stormed from Lana's bedroom.

Famed Hollywood lawyer Jerry Geisler hurried to the Beverly Hills police station for the booking of CheryL "Justifiable Homicide" "It was justifiable homicide," (Continued on page 8, column 4) Headon CRESWELL (UP) A north-, bound Greyhound bus collided head-on with a car on Highway 226 just south of here Friday night killing five persons in the car and injuring nine bus passengers.

Mathews, 16, Cottage Grove; Thomas Riley Huckegy, 22, Lindsay, Peggy Jean Works, 16, Anlauf, and Deanna Gayle Oleson, 15, Curtin, Ore. Nine bus passengers were taken to Sacred Heart hospital in Eu gene where three were admitted for "observation of injuries" and six were treated and released. State police said the auto was heading south and apparently crossed the highway in front of the bus, which was traveling about 51 miles per hour when the collision occurred.

The consul general advocated continuation of nuclear tests by the United States, and tabbed Russian talk of halting the tests ras "so much propaganda." He said those politicians, scientists and clergymen who are calling for the United States to halt the tests are "doing the work of Russia." In more peaceful tones, the consul general said Korea was in need of more electrical energy if she is to progress. What she needs more than anything, he stated, Is an atomic power plant to provide electricity at low cost so that more manufacturing plants can be built and expanded.

Hatfield Objects To Centennial Costs PORTLAND (UP)-Secretary of State Mark Hatfield said here Friday he had "no legal authority to object" to any expenditures made by the Oregon Centennial Commission. But he added have some personal opinions about how the money should be spent, but that is not the point at issue. The Secretary, here to address a meeting ot KepubUcan women, said his office had withheld issu ance of warrants dn Centennial Commission expense vouchers pending receipt of "more detailed explanations." Hatfield said such requests for more intormation on vouchers were commonplace with other state agencies and should not be construed to imply criticism of the Commission or its manage ment.

He said officials of the Com mission nad assured nis oil ice through correspondence that full details were forthcoming and that that should end the matter. A controversy had arisen when Hatfield's inquiries were taken to be an assertion of mismanagement. The Secretary denied today that that was his intention. Chairman Anthony Branden- thaler of the Centennial Commission said he would like to discuss the question with Hatfield. He said the Centennial Commission employes are in the position of people going to meet customers.

He said: "You can't invite a foreign ambassador up to an eight-dollar hotel room and when you do invite him up, you're ex pected to offer him a drink." Managing Director Floyd Maxwell of the Commission said the Commission's job is promotion. He said "we're running a circus, not a penal Institution." Brandenthaler said he paid his own expenses on trips to the east in connection with the Centennial for which he has not collected expense money. He said, "We have tried to keep this out of politics and so far we have succeeded."
