Americans Amaze—Red Rough * * + * * Mark Twain of Orient
A Manchurian-born Korean who has been in this country 25 years took a squint-eyed view of America Tuesday in a lecture at SC and confessed that Americans still amaze him.
Dr. No-Yong Park of Oceanside, who has been called the Mark Twain of the Orient, said he has found Americans the hardest-working, most progressive, forward-looking, adventurous people in the world, but stiil unhappy.
"One of the most impressive things I have seen in America,” he said, "is the tireless work which the people of all ranks do.
"In old China as well as in other Asiatic countries, only the poor worked like mules and the idle rich lay around like lizards and did nothing, made nothing and were good for nothing. But here in democratic America, not only the poor, but the rich work. In fact, the richer he is the harder a man works.
"Even after their death, most Americans do not seem to get much rest, lor some of them believe that heaven is not a place of leisure, but it is a sort of workshop where the souls of the mortal beings play harps and sing and dance with the angels.
Now the American dance, especially ‘ the jitterbug, is hard work in any language. Certainly no soul can get much rest if it is to dance a jitterbug in heaven.
"At times, it seems foolish to work so hard as the Americans (Continued on Page Four)
If the United Nations really want to crush the Communists in Korea, they must attack the Reds where they are vulnerable instead of blasting the harmless mountains of the country, an SC audience was told Wednesday.
“A truce in Korea will no more insure peace and freedom in that-country than it did in China,” said Dr. No-Yong Park of Oceanside, an authority on Far Eastern affairs, in a public lecture on the SC campus..
Strengthened
"The Chinese Communists are employing in Korea the same strategy with which they conquered China. Last summer they were losing the war. Jacob Malik made a proposal for a truce. The United Nations fell into the trap and have sought vainly to make peace.
“The Communists have utilized every minute in strengthening their position. They have grown so powerful and so firmly entrenched in the mountains that it is almost impossible to drive them out of Korea without making terrific sacrifices in men and materials.
“What is still worse is that even if the Communists were driven out of Korea, they could and would return any time they wanted so long as they control China.
‘'One of the sensible courses to take in the face of this situation in Korea is to hold the line with or without a truce and try to help rehabilitate tbe country."

Convention Sidelights Highlight Shiny ‘Chapeu*
By Wimp Hiroto
It appears as though Democratic conventioneers took care to view the Republican convention on television . . . for personal as well as political interest.
Of the many interesting sidelights evolving from the sessions now in progress, the coup de grace is the fact that Congressman Sam Rayburn of Texas, Speaker of the House of Representatives and permanent Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National convention, is using the services ol a make-up expert to cut down reflection of the Amphitheater lights off his bald head during his appearances on the speaker’s stand.
Although unknown to most televiewers, a television network held a Coaching School for Candidates. It was during this school that Speaker Rayburn became interested in what could be done with his bald head. (It had been
pointed out that the lights would reflect off the bald expanse into television cameras and create distortion.)
Rayburn is not the only pupil using the lessions learned.
Mrs. Georgia Nees Clark, first woman Treasurer of the United States, modeled several dresses before the school's TV cameras before eventually deciding upon the gfray silk shantung dress with pastel collar and cuffs for her
speech Tuesday.
Governor Paul A. Devers of Massachusetts, temporary chairman and the Demo's keynote speaker, was a "correspondence” graduate of the school. He was sent a list of instructions ... the same instructions given Speaker Rayburn and the other “pupils.” Senators Benton (Conn.), Kerr (Okla.), Martin (Penn.) and Kennedy (Mass.) were among the notable graduates.
Another TV network got into the humor of this, the second "Greatest Show on Earth,” by turning up with these prognostications:
“The Democrats will win this convention."
“It will come to light that Senator Kefauver does not and never did wear a coon.skin cap. He just used too much tonic and his hair grows like that."
