Present : Senator Charles E. Potter, Republican, Michigan ; and Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Republican, Wisconsin. Also present: Senator Henry C.

The subcommittee is appointed by the chairman, Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcom- mittee on Investigations. With me I have Don 07Donnell,who is a special counsel who has been handling the work for the atrocities investigation. On his left is Frank Carr, executive director of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. On my right is Robert Jones, of my office, who has been working with the hearings. Within the past few weeks we have heard much about vicious war atrocities committed by Communists against allied troops in Korea. Our Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge presented the background and nature of some of these atrocities to the United Nations. Yesterday the Soviet spokesman, Andrei Vishinsky, attempted to repudiate these charges, saying that American claims represented nothing else but deliberate lies and propaganda. I may say that I was extremely pleased that Ambassador Lodge yesterday called for the establishment of a United Nations Commis- sion to investigate war atrocities in Korea. If, as Vishinsky claims, these atrocities were a "cowardly" ma- neuver to cover the worst crimes perpetrated between American mili- tary circles-then we shall call his bluff. Let the chips fall where

  • South Korea Section 3
    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • The Honorable John Marshall Butler United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce Washington 25, D
    The Honorable John Marshall Butler United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce Washington 25, D. C. Dear Senator Butler: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 24, 1957 enclosing a copy of a letter received by you from Mr. L. P. Hubbard of Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Hubbard suggests that corporations be required to make available to a central committee of its stockholders a list of all stockholders in order that they may arrange regional meetings to discuss matters of common interest and to send delegates to a national committee with instructions to attend annual meetings and vote their proxies for them. As you know some of the States have laws which require corporations to make a list of stockholders available for inspection by stockholders. Rule X-14A-7 of the Commission’s proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires listed companies which intend to solicit proxies either to furnish stockholders, upon request, a reasonably current list of stockholders or to mail for such stockholders any proxy material which they may wish to transmit to other stockholders. In some cases, corporations will elect to mail the material in lieu of furnishing a list of stockholders and in other cases they will elect to turn over to the stockholders a list of stockholders. In addition to the above requirement, Rule X-14A-8 of the proxy rules requires an issuer to include in its proxy material proposals which are proper matters for stockholder action and which a stockholder wishes to submit to a vote of his fellow stockholders.

  • The Chief's Gorilla Guide for Looking Good in Uniform
    The Chief’s Gorilla Guide For Looking Good In Uniform By Chief Master Sergeant Robert D. Chiafos CHIEF, IOWA CIVIL AIR PATROL ACADEMY Camp Dodge, IA 3rd Edition (Revised) January 2007 The Commander’s Responsibility Each commander needs to acknowledge and accept responsibility for the appearance of all individuals under their command. Every military unit has a uniform culture. Left undirected, and on their own, members of the unit will collectively and unconsciously set a standard for wearing the uniform. Once established, that standard will perpetuate itself. As new members come in they will observe the standard, and dress down or up to match it. In any unit where uniforms are not inspected regularly, or where the leadership fails to immediately confront individual violators; the standard will plummet like water seeking its lowest level. This is a serious breach of military discipline and the worst kind of leadership! Sadly, in some units, the senior members are the greatest offenders. No matter how bad the current standard is in your unit, it can be turned around. First, the commander must meet standards, if you don’t - correct it! You cannot conduct an inspection, or correct infractions, when the offenders look better than you do. Next, demand compliance from your Cadet Programs Officer, and all cadet officers and NCOs. When infractions are observed, use the chain of command to immediately confront and correct violations. When repeated correction fails, revoke the privilege of wearing the Air Force Uniform. Openly reprimand offenders and reward those who exceed the standards. Uniform inspections must be the first order of business at any CAP meeting, gathering, or other event.

    Analysis on Media Coverage of Kim Jong-Un in the Norwegian newspapers, Aftenposten: After emergence of Kim Jong-un in the North Korea from Sep 2010 to Des 2016 Jinha Sim EAST4593. Master‟s Thesis in East Asian Culture and History At the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITETET I OSLO June 2017 © Jinha Sim 2017 Analysis on Media Coverage of Kim Jong-Un in the Norwegian newspapers, Aftenposten: After emergence of Kim Jong-un in the North Korea from Sep 2010 to Des 2016 http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo II Abstract The Propaganda Model claimed that the media collaborating the propaganda of state foreign policies, created manipulated public consents. In this thesis, I tried to find out whether or nor the Propaganda Model can apply to a country which has no direct national interest, so relatively neutral like in Norway. I analyzed 289 news articles in Aftenposten, Norway‟s biggest newspaper, with the searching word „Kim Jong-un‟ from Sep 2010 to Dec 2016. I focused to code news sources, the third filter in the Propaganda Model, in news articles and found out that the reliance on the dominant Western media and quotation from elites (i.e. governmental officers and experts) in on the dominant Western media in favor of South Korea was high in Aftenposten. In types of sources, the government related sources from the US, the UK, South Korea and Japan was 68 per cent, in contrary China and North Korea was only 2 per cent. When it comes to sorting out frequency of direct quotations, North Korea was merely 4.8 per cent as same as China while the US were made up the biggest 31.1 per cent.
