The world needs America now more than ever before, a young Korean doctor said here last night. Dr. Eung Soo Han, late of Seoul, Korea, stressed that “American ism Is the fight for peace -and world unification.” The 29-year-old physician, now studying as a staff physician at the North Carolina Sanatorium at MQCain, spoke at a dinner meet ing of the Dunn BusinasSo-aH** ■Professional Women’s Cliib, held at' the armory at 6:30.

DESCRIBES KOREA Speaking in halting English, the bright-eyed doctor described for his audience some of the features of his country and outlined the dif ferences among Koreans and other Asiatic races. He said that Korea, a country roughly the size of Utah, has roughly eight times the population of North Carolina. Its climate Is rather damp from May to July, with heavy rains predominating. This, he stressed, explains why the North Koreans attacked South Korea in June: their Russian - made tanks had wide treads which would allow them to cross flooded rice paddles, while the narrower American-made tanks bogged down. Koreans are a homogeneous race, he said, stemming from pure Mon golian blood. Nonetheless, there are some differences between North and South Koreans, the doctor stated. The northerners are more act ive in thinking and movements, the speaker pointed out; their section Is highly industrialized, while .-the south is primarly agricultural. The north is also more mountainous than the relatively flat south. CHINESE ARE TALLER As for differences among Chin ese, Japanese and Koreans, Dr. Han pointed out that the Chinese are the tallest of the three and have rounder faces. Tastes iii food differ, too; the Chinese Ilk*, oily food, the Japanese are partial to dry food and the Koreans “like chicken.” * "I’m a kind of Rebel from South Korea,” the speaker said, “so nat urally I like Southern fried chick en.” The war In Korea is a result of the country’s peculiar/location be tween China, Manchuria and Jap an, said Dr. Han.

A voice vote killed the first measure with one comittee member speaking for it. The second bill died 23-4.
