Rhee's Offer
SEOUL, Korea, June 1-—
UP — President Syngman
Rhee has handed the United
States a ‘‘compromise" plan
under which South Korea
would agree to an armistice
in return for a promise of
military and economic help,
a South Korean source dis-
closed Monday.
The source said the proposal al-
ready has been forwarded to Pres-
ident Eisenhower through U. S.
Ambassador Ellis O. Briggs.
The Rhee proposal was expected
to be the major topic of discus-
sion at Monday's meeting of the
National Security Council In Wash-
ington, at which President Eisen-
hower will act as chairman.
Under the Rhee proposal, the
source said, the United States
must promise to come to Korea's
aid in the event of a Communist
invasion. It must promise to give
military aid and to guarantee
large-scale economic rehabilitation
of South Korea.
Earlier, South Korean Foreign
Minister Pyun Tong Tae said his
country believes the Communists
will accept the latest Allied truce
proposal.
“The new proposal is exactly
what the Communists have de-
manded,” Pyun, who also is acting
premier, said. “And now we come
to the point where we cannot com-
promise further.”

Rhee and his officials bitterly
opposed the new UN truce plan
because it would drop demands for
immediate release of Koreans on
armistice day, bring foreign troops
into Korea to take custody of the
prisoners and leave the country di-

Pyun said South Korea would
disregard an armistice reached on
the basis of the new proposal.
“We have been fighting as the
vanguard of the free world,” he
said. “And we will continue in order
to warn the rest of the free world.
"People say we would be cut off
