Monument To Americans Killed On Korean Island Fulfills Ambition NAMHAE-DO, Korea, AiP A granite monument will be unveiled here' next 'Friday to 11 U.S. airmen who died on this South Korean Island Aug. 7, the only Americans killed in Korea during World (War U. For Kim Kuk Hyung this fulfills an 11-year-old ambition.

"It is my way of repaying the United States for its fight against fear, oppression and imprisonment," he said. "This monument will always be a reminder of the goodwill between America and the Republic of Korea." Kim's dream was born the day a U.S. B24, returning from a bombing mission on the Japanese- occupied port city of Yosu, hurtled into Namhae Do's Dangwoon Mountain, 100 miles southwest of Pusan. Kim, a minor official on the island, buried the bodies and erect- ad a wooden cross. For two years he tried unsuccessfully raise funds for a suitable memorial.

Then he entered the pharmacy business and his fortunes improved. In 1948 and 1949 he tried to take masons to the site but was driven off toy Communist guerrillas, then harassing the Southern Islands. When the Korean War broke out in 1950 Communists occupied the island. Kfm was imprisoned, but later escaped. After the war, Kim made a scale model of the monument.

Finally the foundation was laid. Today it rises in feet high against the green Korean mountainside. "A memorial monument to 11 distinguished U.S. Flyers." It has become an epitaph to these Americans, although their bodies were removed shortly after World War Oil. '1st Lt.

WORLD Mew Mid-East Crisis Rumbling By ED OBEAGH Associated Press Analyst WASHINGTON iffl The Middle Ens; is short of many things, but never runs of trouble.

As the Suez affair weren't toad "rough, a Syria crisis now is ore-wing on the edge of it. Could be a bad one, too, and another to world peace.

Syrja has toeen accepting arms from Russia.

Also, all 'but unnoticed in the furor over Suez, pro- Soviet officers have seized formal control of Syria's army. It would surprise nobody if the army seized control of the government.

Red President Sees Hope For Release Of 10 Americans ROME (ffi Communist China's President Mao Tze-tung was quoted Tuesday as expressing the hope that negotiations with the United States for the release of 10 Americans still held In Red China's prisons can be "favorably concluded." The weekly Tempo Revlsta published an interview between Mao and Curzio Malaparte, well-known Italian novelist and newspaperman, in Peiping earlier this month. Malaparte quoted the Chinese president as saying, after an earlier reference to Roman Catholic priests and missionaries: "Also there are many American prisoners in the jails of China. On last our ambassador and the ambassador of the United States hi Bern are discussing them in Geneva. Nor can I tell you what will be the result of these negotiations, since they are complicated and delicate. I hope, in any event, that it will be possible to reach a favorable conclusion." U.

Alexis Johnson, U. S. ambassador to Prague, and Wang Ping-nan, Communist Chinese ambassador to Warsaw, have been meeting regularly in Geneva since Aug. 1, 1955, to negotiate release of the prisoners. Their talks have been deadlocked for most of the time.

Firm Salvages Fir Trees Killed By Beetles The largest salvage logging program ever undertaken by Weyerhaeuser Tim'ber Co.

has resulted hi saving 62,500,000 board feet of insect-killed and wlndfelled timber from decay, according to Weyerhaeuser's managing forester Edwin F. Heacox. Much of the timber salvaged was killed in the Douglas fir bark beetle epidemic which swept through 8,000,000 acres of government and privately owned fir forests in Washington and Oregon several years ago. The beetles have always been present in the forest in all numbers. But the population of these insects was increased In 1950 and 1951 after heavy gales down large amounts of timber.

The beetles bred rapidly in windfalls and soon infested the standing trees. TREES GONE By -the spring of .1953 aerial photographs of the firm's tree farms showed many scattered clumps of dead and dying trees. In salvaging this timber, speed was essential. If left standing in the woods five or six years, the dead trees would begin to decay and lose valuable wood. Weyerhaeuser research scientists worked in cooperation with government agencies on methods of controlling the beetles, company foresters and logging engineers revised routine plans and went to work on a vast salvage program.

They located beetle-killed timber on aerial photographs. New logging and forestry access roads were pushed into areas of undeveloped virgin timber where beetle epidemic had left its mark. Mobile logging equipment was used. Such equipment could move quickly and with comparative ease to scattered pockets of beetle killed trees. crews armed with power saws began falling the dead trees.

As the beetle-killed timber toppled to the ground, light logging trucks and mobile loaders followed the falling crews. Trucks and loaders moved into the toack areas of the tree farms on the newly constructed unsurfaced forestry roads. The timtoer killed by the beetles and felled by the wind was picked up and hauled to the mill. The elephant's trunk contains more than 40,000 muscles. Railroads May Raise Rates On Some Items OLYMPIA Railroads operating within the state have been granted a 6 per cent increase in rates for hauling cement and stone.

Engineer Outlines Two Planr For Full Use of wo NW Rivers from WASHINGTON iff-jte Power Commission engffit San Francisco Monday two plans which he said Would result in full development of the power potential of the Snake and Salmon Rivers in the Pacific Northwest. plans were described by Allan 'J. at a federal Power COJttffiisslon hearing on the Pacific Northwest. Power 1 application build Pleasant Valley and Mountain Sheep dams on the Snftke. Under one plan, Meadowcroft said, high dams would be con- struoted at the Nez Perce and Asotin sites on the Snake.

The other plan envisions dams at the Mountain Sheep, Pleasant Valley China Gardens and Asotln sites on the Snake and at the Lower Canyon site on the Salmon. Meadowcroft said the power plants In both would have a total generating, -capacity of more than kilowatts. Another FPC engineer, Wilfred A. Froggatt, also of San Francisco, said the construction cost of either dam building plan would be about 615 million dollars. He added that both plans are feasible.

The engineers said the two plan's were studied as alternatives to PNP's two-dam proposal. Humphrey Bogart Back In Hospital SANTA MONICA, Calif.
