Hodge Accomplishes Mission In Korea

REPLACED BY AMBASSADOR

Washington, Aug. 23.-The United States today officially ended its military occupation in Korea with an announcement that Licut.-Gen. John R. Hodge, US military commander, is turning over duties to Mr John J. Muccio, special United States representative with the rank of Ambassador.

The move was expected since the United States recog- nised the Korean Republic and since Syngman Rhee, Korean President, was inaugurated on August 15. Mr Muccio will have the title of senior United States repre- sentative in Korea, and this marks the end of three years of occupation, but this does not mean full withdrawal of United States troops. They will remain to assist the Korean Government.
