No, the timetable was determined more bv technoloeical than political factors. every voter to watch. Sudd ort New ler DID PRESIDENT EISENHOWER impound funds that Congress voted for defense? Congress appropriated more than the President asked for mUitary hardware, but trimmed other defense projects by $945,800,000. This left $468 million extra which Ike threatened to impound.

Except for driblets, most of this money was frozen until the political clamor broke the ice Jam. WHICH COUNTRY has superior military strength? Russia has 175 army divisions to our 14, 20,000 combat planes to our 13,000, 600 submarines to our 113, 110 missile-firing subs to our five, 30 to 50 operational ICBMs to our seven, 750 operational intermediate-range missiles to our 60.

Chang's charges of corruption in the Rhee government soon resulted in an assassination attempt Chang was beaten last March 15 when he again ran for vice president He charged balloting irregularities and the nation agreed, erupting into; violence which ousted Rhee. In the first free elections last month, Chang's Democratic Party rolled into office with 179 seats In the 231-member house. Then began the In a large part on personalities. Even if he had strong support, Chang would have troubles ahead with unemployment crime, a poor trade balance and Communists on the border. Korea's Democratic Party must resolve its differences quickly to prevent trouble from hungry enemies.

The man who led the long fight against corruption in the government of South Korea President Syngman Rhee now is having trouble finding support. John M. Chang, vice-president for nearly four years under Rhee, was elected prime minister only after the new legislature rejected a rival, Kim Do-yun. The spHt which developed in the ranks of the majority Democratic Party threatens to make him a helpless figurehead. It's an extremely serious problem for Chang.

With the Communists hunched along the 38th Parallel, he cannot afford to have a divided government The turn against Chang by members of the legislature is unfortunate, because he suffered for years before the student riots of last April resulted in the ejection of Rhee.
