U.S. Accused Of Running A "Police State"

SOVIET CRITICISM OF S. KOREA ADMINISTRATION

Paris, Dec. 6.-Russia accused the United States of running a "police state" in American- occupied South Korea, today.

Mr Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate, opening the Political Committee debate on the Korean problem, said that the South Korean police is persecuting "democratic leaders all over South Korea.”

He said: "South Korea is a police state and police-controlled by the United States Army and 53 percent of the police officers annex the rank of lieutenants and former collaborators with the Japanese."

Mr Malik charged that

the American-sponsored election in South Korea on May 10 was "illegal-just like the plebiscite under Hitler."

EROSION IS SHRINKING

THE U.S.

6,400 Acres Being Lost Every Year

New York, Dec. 6. A War Department geologist said that the United States is goiting smaller by about 6,400 acres a year. Erosion along the $2,000 miles of the country's shore linea is causing the shrinkage.

A little arithmetic, based on the those figures, show that it erosion continues the United States theoretically would cense to exist in about 300,000 years.

The geologist, Dr Marun A-Mason, of the beach erosion board, U.S. War Department in Washington, however, made no such predictions. He made a plea at the Gist raceting of the Geological Society of America that some.hing be done to stop the

erosion.

An American resolution was rug- gested in the Committee which was that UNO set up a new Korean Commission to go to Korea Imme- dintely.

Shanghai Americans Want Guarantees

Of Protection

Shanghai, Dec. 6. Twenty-five hundred Ameri- cans here are today increasingly concerned at the lack of assurances from Washington that they will be protected if and when the Communists enter Shanghai as expected.

The American Consul General, Mr John Cabot, discussed the situation today at a closed meeting of the American Association to which nearly all Ameri- cans belong. There was no state tent, but it was understood that the leaders of the American com- munity pressed for a clear-cut statement of Washing- ton's intentions.
