Sedalia Democrat, Monday, January 29,1968 The World Today Location Cloudy Question By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) The first reaction in this country was dismay that this might mean another war, astonishment that it could happen at all. and anger that it did happen. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said, strong advice to the North Koreans is cool In the six days since the North Koreans captured the USS Pueblo, an electronic spy ship, and forced it into Wonsan Harbor with 83 men aboard, the mood in this country seems to have cooled a bit, too President Johnson led the cooling. Ignoring some of the hawk cries in Congress, he set about trying to get the ship back in a peaceful way, first by appealing to the Russians to intercede. then to the United Nations If the cooling keeps on, but the peaceful efforts fail, this country may find it embarrassing to take military action at all without some fresh Korean provocation that arouses American anger all over again The possible products of military action would, by themselves.

be enough to make Johnson hesitate before trying it But another factor may be the cloudy condition of the whole episode. In the first place, there is the unresolved dispute between the United States and North Korea on where the Pueblo was when it was captured. This country insists it was in international waters, more than 12 miles off the Korean coast The North Koreans insist it was spying within Korean territorial waters There is not much doubt the electronic ship was spying, in or out of Korean waters, and that that was its mission On Jan. 24, the day after the Pueblo capture, the North Korean delegate to the military armistice commission in Panmun- jom, Korea, Maj Gen Pak Chung Kook, told the U.S delegate, Rear Adm. John Smith On Jan.

20 he had complained to the Americans that the United States had sent a of armed spy boats' into North Korean waters, along with a group of South Korean fishing boats which were used as a shield. Despite his complaint on Jan 20, Pak said, the United States did the same thing on Jan 21, Jan. 22 Jan. 23 (when the Pueh lo was and even the next day, Jan. 24.

Adm Smith replied that Pak statements were but promised to investigate. This makes for a cloudy picture. And, since the United States has lo be concerned about world opinion before it takes any fierce action in Korea it has the Korean charges to think about It also has to think about the kind of military action it might take. 1 If it moved into Wonsan Harbor to blast the fortifications and sink the Pueblo, so the North Koreans couldn't keep it, they might retaliate by executing the 83 men captured on the Pueblo. Besides, if the United States started blasting the Wonsan area or other parts of North Korea, it might precipitate a war all over again by the North against South Korea Still worse.

Red China, as it did in the first Korean war, might move in against the United States. And no telling what the Soviets might do When he made his accusations on Jan. 24, Pak told the United States all it has to do Is admit provocation" (with the spy ship), apologize and assure North Korea "you will not recommit such criminal acts Save Girl, Father From Deep Well KANSAS CITY, Kan A 5-year-old girl fell into a well Sunday and her father jumped in after her, then both were helped out by volunteers Police said the water was 85 feet deep and the water surface was 15 feet from the top Bill Hurtie, 38. of Kansas City, and his family were looking at a house with a real estate saleswoman when his daughter, Cindy, fell through planks covering the well in suburban Shawnee heard one of my sons yelling, Daddy. Cindy's fallen into a well, Hurtie said.

rushed to the well and saw Cindy floating in the water about 15 feet saw my baby down there and 1 just jumped I even know how to He grabbed hold of a tree root growing out of the well wall, otherwise they both probably would have drowned, Hurtie said. They were in the water 15 minutes. think I could have held on to that root much Hurtie said later. He collapsed after he and his daughter were helped up a ladder by George N. Baumgartner, 47 The ladder was held by three other men.

Judging from the way American emotion has cooled down, and the delay that will be inevitable if the United Nations gets involved, the answer to all this may be some form of American-Korean compromise. Bombs Torn Apart During Plane Crash WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon says that while no hope any of four lost hydrogen bombs will be found intact, the search will be pressed for months if necessary in frigid Greenland. Serial numbers on weapons fragments found at the crash site correspond with Strategic Air Command listings of serial numbers on various components on all four bombs, the Pentagon said Sunday know damned well that those bombs were tom apart when the plane came down and an Air Force colonel said at the crash site on the ice of North Star Bay, 7V2 miles from Thule Air Base on Greenland's northwest coast. Searchers have found the four parachutes that were a vital part of the delivery sys teras A Pentagon nuclear ex pert, serving as part of the search team, acknowledged the chutes are sealed within the casings of the bombs. can draw your own conclusions from the fact the chutes were found separate from anything one source said.

Their purpose is to slow the descent of the weapons in an at tack so the plane that drops them will have time to get out of the area before they explode Maj Gen Richard 0 Hunzik er, director of the 24-hour-a-day recovery effort, said the four chutes were found in a compact area near the dark burn marks on the ice where the B52 bomb er crashed a week ago. Officers at the scene indicated the search for more fragments may go on until the summer breakup of the bay ice about June. Defense officials at the crash scene and in Washington kept a tight security lid on the nature of many of the fragments being found so as not to reveal construction details of the bombs all believed to be in the 1.1 megaton range. Several search officers said in private that one of their primary missions Is to assure Denmark, which governs Greenland. that everthing possible is being done to find the bombs and to eliminate any possibility of dangerous radiation Defense officials have stated it ls impossible for the devices to detonate They say radiation found at the site so far has been light, closely contained and ls considered negligible The mechanics of the search are dictated by the severe nature of the Arctic weather and icy terrain Some 1.500 pounds of horsemeat have shipped in to feed the Eskimo sled dogs that carry the searchers from the air base to the crash scene Electrical generators are being hauled to the site to provide light in the nearly coastant polar darkness What nearly everyone associated with the bomb search expressed fear about was the onslaught of what Thule veterans call a severe polar storm in which blowing snow duces visibility to zero.

(UPI) Sees Rocky As the Best Vote-Getter By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A key group of Republican leaders concludes Nelson A Rockefeller would be their best vote-getter in the presidential race but that Richard Nixon Is first choice among party professionals In New shire, supporters of George Romney express worry about a Rockefeller write-in campaign As for the man the Republicans are expected to run against, the Gallup reported President popularity has gone up 10 percent since October. The only announced Democratic candidate, Sen Eugene J.

McCarthy of Minnesota, proposed a Latin-American program that would include return of Cuba into the family of nations." Republican chairmen from 11 states of the heavily populated Northeast plus Washington, agreed at a Saturday meeting in New York on Rockefeller strength as a potential presidential nominee and popularity with party professionals. The conclusions were presented to newsmen without details It was reported they reac hed no formal conclusion. A spokesman said there seem to be much enthusiasm for Romney at the twcMiay closed meeting. Rockefeller has maintained he a candidate and supports Romney for the nomination But Romney men traveling with their candidate in New Hampshire expressed fear of a Rockefeller write-in vote in the March 12 primary there. Such a development, they said, could cut into support.

The Gallup Poll said Johnsons popularity rating, which now stands at 48 per cent of the public approving the way doing his job. is his highest figure since his June meetings with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin in Glassboro, N.J. After Glassboro, lus figure was 52 percent. In the new poll, 39 per cent of those1 interviewed expressed disapproval and 13 per cent were undecided Dr George Gallup said factors involved in the rise in Johnson's popularity are: Many people apparently think he has shown more aggressiveness in dealing with problems; -There is more optiipism concerning Vietnam; seem to be rallying around him as the probably candidate McCarthy, running in six presidential primaries in opposition to Vietnam policies, said in proposing a political economic reform program for Latin America "We ought to set1 things couldn't be opened to Cuba We COLD SINUS Miseries? your head pounding running ate your waletlflf and Have blown your until it it raw? ttVtr aorry you're obviputly aware at 09t SYNA-CLKAK and it out fault.

Frank Carlson is an excuse to keep the door open to the Goldwater-Reagan wing of the GOP Dreiling issued a statement in which he said the formation of a Kansas Citizens for Reagan organization shows that and rejected Gold- waterites, vintage of 1964, will again dominate the Republican national convention.

The President called for an increase of $200 million to $4.7 billion in educational spending in fiscal 1969. That would follow the pattern of a gradual rise this fiscal year after large jumps in spending between fiscal years 1965 and 1967.

As expected, the budget for the fiscal year starting July, calls for sizable cutbacks in outlays for college and university buildings and other facilities, down $83 million to a $213 million total. But it would increase funds for loans and grants to college and graduate students from $597 million to $673 million. For elementary and secondary schools, the budget proposes to reduce aid for school books, equipment and guidance services from $237 million to $155 million. It asks more money, however, to train teachers and help poor children. And it proposes a new $30 million program to prevent school dropouts.

Impact aid for areas with large numbers of children of federal personnel would be increased. But legislation beginning in fiscal 1970 would cut these expenditures gradually to a level consistent with the bur- WANTED TRAINEES Qualify for Opportunity in Automation Men and Women Are Urgently Needed TRAIN ON IBM EQUIPMENT Persons selected will be trained in a program which need not interfere with present job.

It was a small loss, since the hour had all the pretentions and all the faults of the annual Emmy and Oscar limp jokes and the breathless none of their class. Major disappointment of the weekend was the two-hour production of an original drama, and on NBC. The network paid author William Hanley $125,000 for production rights when the play was Broadway-bound. The drama was slow-moving, actionless and talky. and it was completely unleavened by humor.

The problems of the family of and made the woes of pale by comparison. The father, a structural steel worker, feared he was losing his skill, his wife feared her unfaithfulness of years past might be revealed, a married daughter was leaving a husband who wanted to start a wife-swapping arrangement; a son was a mindless invalid; an uncle was a brooding alcoholic. There was a good cast including E. G. Marshall, Kim Stanley and Edmond but the drama overwhelmed and engulfed them.
