By ROBERT TUCKMAN SEOUL (AP)-United states state secretary Dulles and Presi- dent Syngman Rhee. with a mu- tual security pact apparently rea- dy for signing, turn today to the explosive question of unification for Korea.

Dulles was calling on Rhee at 10 a. m. (9 p. in. Thursday, EDT) for the third formal meeting since the American dlplomatls' arrival Tuesday.

It was the last such conference scheduled although Dulles said he might see Rhee a fourth time just before he departs Saturday around noon.

Dulles said Thursday's etirlg was devoted largely to disc ssion of the vast program of economic aid planned by the United stntrl to rebuild war-wrecked South Korea.

The other major objective oi the Dulles mission, to negotiate a security treaty between the United States and South Korea, seemed near settlement.

subordinates of Dulles and Rhee on a special committee have been working for the last two days on the treaty's provisions.

They reported their work nearly finished and the pact could be concluded before Dulles and "his party leave.

The treaty, which must be ap- proved by the U. 8. Senate. would commit the United states to come to the aid of south Korea in the event of'a new Communist attack.

Eisenhower i Adhering To Earlier goals"

By DOUGLAS 3. CORNELL

WASHINGTON tAP)-Prosi- dent Eisenhower reported to the people Thursday night the admin- istration is adhering firmly to the goal it set six months ago al- though it had not yet "conquered all the problems of our nation.”

The chief executive spoke over all radio networks.

As he analyzed things:

"The future. both immediate iand distant, remains full of trial and hazard. -

'”The end of our staggering

economic burden is not in sight.

”The end of the peril to peace is not clearly in view."

But he said there is in liifzht a firm and binding purpose guiding all objectives and deeds.

"This purpose," the president said. "is to serve and to strengthen our people, all our people. in faith in freedom and in quest of peace: and to strengthen all other peoples who share with us that faith and that quest."

Two Precious Victories

In the field of foreign relations. Eisenhower said that the Korean truce has produced ”two precious victories."

First, he said, it has been shown that the free world can and will meet aggression in Asia-"or any- where in the world."

Second. he said, we have won the chance to show that free peo- ple can build in peace as boldly as they fight in war. '

Eisenhower went back to the State-of-the-Union message he delivered to Congress six months ago to describe the major purposes of his administration and then to report. as he sees ll. what is being done to carry out these purposes.

He mentioned use of U. s. influ- ence ln world affairs in a way to deter aggression and eventually attain peace. He spoke of estab- lishing a national administration of integrity and efficiency that would be honored at home and respected abroad.

He listed. loo. encoulagemen to creative initiative in the nation's economy and a dedication of the administration to the well-being of all citizens.

"These purposes." he said. "give meaning and sense to all that has occurred in these last six months. We have adhered firmly to these purposes."

"The seed potato crop on the Island this year is very good, with every indication of all excellent yield” states Mr. Henry Ma.c1..al.'cn, head of the Certified Seed Potato Inspection Branch. Experimental Falm.

Tilers has been little or no early blight, but some late blight is showing up in some districts. In

spite of the wet season we are experiencing, the blight is small! compared to other years. This is

explained by the fact that al- though ihe weather is wet there has. been no excessive heat. and the brisk breezes which follow the rain dry off the leaves before the fungi have a chance to become established in the plant.

This year shows an increase in seed potato acreage of 5200 acres. A staff of 28 inspectors is engaged in field inspection at the present time.

The Red blockade of free Amer- ican food in West Berlin was breached by 60,000 from five Rus- sian-occupied provinces and 70,000 from East Berlin and its suburbs.

Desertions from the Soviet aone army and people's police set a record of 51 in a. single day. The total for the year rose to 2,606.

Resort in Forgery V

Meanwhile West Berlin author- ities reported East Germany has resorted to forgery in s new and desperate effort to combat the successful relief program.

They said forged food coupons had been picked up at food- dis- tribution centres in West Berlin from members of West. Berlin's 250.000 unemployed. The unem- ployed men. they said. had ob- tained the coupons from East Ger- man Communists.

The jolnt United States-West German food gift. program. begun July 27, is intended only for East Germans. Recipients of the 10- pound food parcels must first prove their East German,resld- cnce through the presentation of official papers. They are then is- sued with food coupons and told to take their place in line.

A block of land has been secured from the Provincial Sallatorium Commission for the erection of :l Composite Junior High School for Charlottetown. it was announced last night by Dr. R. G. Lea. chal'r- 5 man of the City School Board. The land has lmmcdintely north of that Sanatorium and has a frontage oil 350 feet on North River Road andl a depth of about 750 feet npproach- l mg the level of McGill Terrace.

The transfer of land from owllershlnof -the Snnatorlu-m Coni- nllssion to the school Board followed negotiations between two bodies and with the approval of the Provincial Government.

It was also announced that at A meeting between members of the School Board building committee and the architects (Messrs. E. H. Blanchard. Charlottetown. and Wil- liam Downle. Halifax) final Pip- proval was given to the prelim- inary plans.

Work is now proceeding on detail- ed plans and specifications prelim- inary to calling for tenders, It is anticipated that tenders for excava- tloll and foundation will be called later this month.

Present plans call for the erection of a one-story, U-shaped building fronting on North River Road. Pro- vision is being made for 18 acade- mic class rooms in addition to space for vocational arts and household economics, combined auditorium and gymnasium.

The ground lends itself very suit- ably for the type of building plan- ned and has surroundings sufficient for a. playing field, Dr. Lea states. Access to the building may be by way

. of Maple street and McGill Ter-

race as well as North River Road. It is hoped to have the building

for occupancy for the Fall term of

1954.

The School will provide facilit-

ies for the pupils of Grades VII to X

schools. As previously announced. it is the School Board's intention to

continue the present system of providing educational facilities to the end of Grade X at Rochford Square School, and to accept on a rental basis a school in be erected by the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation for the accommodation of those pupils now enrolled in Grades VII to X in Queen Square. provided the building is subject to School Board approval as to the details of plans and mtimnted cost and that the basis of rental be subject to agreement.
