U.S. ARMY FORCES HAVE BEGUN TO WITHDRAW FROM KOREA
WASHINGTON, May 27 (Rec. 3 p.m.)—United States Army forces have begun withdrawing from Korea, and will have completed the movement by July 31, says the New York “Times” correspondent in Seoul
The correspondent quotes the highest American authorities as the source of his information. He says the army is moving swiftly and quietly to transfer the bulk of its supplies to the Korean Republic, and move its 7500 men and officers to Japan and Hawaii. United States troops leaving Korea will carry little more than personal effects and a change of uniform, leaving behind weapons, ammunition, machinery, spare parts, trucks, jeeps and communications equipment for the Korean Army. The correspondent says it is generally believed the United States Army prefers the withdrawal to be announced when it is completed. There is strong opposition within the Korean Government to the withdrawal. State Department officials remain silent, except to say that discussion with the Korean Government is continuing.
