Communism Is Termed
'Decivilization' By Pyun
Pyun Yung Tai, former professor at the University of Korea,
termed Communism a “decivilization” in his description of the
present Korean situation at the Westminster foundation Wednesday
night. '
Movies of the destruction of Seoul, capital city of South Korea,
were shown preceding Pyun’s lecture. He said that 25 per cent of
the city was completely destroyed.
All the modern buildings of im
portance were in that sector, Py
un added.
Having left Korea only five
weeks ago, Pyun said that no
sensible Korean objects to the
UN intervention because they
realize Korea will be free only if
the world is free. So they are will
ing to put up with the destruc
tion going on in their country, he
said. But. he added, if the UN
should pull out, their attitude
would be one of shock for they
can’t believe the possibility of
such an event.
< Communism A Disease
Pyun said, that he does his bit
to try to improve the parts of his
government which he doesn’t ap
prove of, but that he could never
do this under any Communist
rule. “Communism is like a dis
ease. It’s something you can’t
wish away,” Pyun stated. There
fore, he claims that the Koreans
need outside help. He said, that
to i. ‘m Communism is a decivili
zaUon, anti-cultural, anti-relig
ious, anti-everything.
. • In answer to the question “Why
do. the. Communists want South
Korea,” Pyun said that to the
Rusians it would be of paramount
strategic importance as a watch
tower over China. The Russians
want ; that huge Chinese popula
tion behind them, he said.
“After the hellish experience
I’ve had, it’s consoling to find
freedom and joy of life in this
country,” said Pyun. “To be able
to live yourself, and let others
live is really something we must
fight for,” he emphasized.
Pyun, who was recipient of a
grant-in-aid under the State De
partment’s program for exchange
of persons, is now vice-president
of the Korean Red Cross. Pyun
has conferred with Washington
officials and now plans to visit
American colleges to study the
American public school system.
The small-featured Korean was
educated in China, has written
four books, has taught in the
University of Korea,' and was re
cently active director of the Red
Cross there.

Science Annex
To Be Added
The General State authority
yesterday approved construction
of a $950,000 addition to the new
Mineral Sciences building at the
College.
The addition was requested, the
authority said, by President Mil
ton S. Eisenhower, who told the
agency the building is needed to
permit research into the uses of
sub-marginal mineral resources
and the study of industrial non
metallic minerals.
The additional space will pro
vide for lectures, laboratory ex
perimentation, research, and the
treatment of minerals.
As a result of increased con
struction costs, the request said,
the present.building lacks facili
ties for special research in coals,
claysi and other sub-marginal
minerals found in the state.
