Rhee Emigrates in 1912 and Leads Exile Government
Rhee left Korea in 1912 after bitterly opposing Japanese occupation and lived in Hawaiian exile for 33 years. He led a provisional Korean government in exile from 1912 to 1941, traveled globally to plead his cause, and played a divisive role during the Korean War by clashing with the United States and United Nations over strategy. He opposed the war truce, arguing his forces could push into North Korea and unify Korea under one flag.

GI Bill plans expand veteran education and home loan aid
Proponents of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee bill say it aims to help veterans returning from Korea and other conflicts by extending education allowances to those with more than 180 days of active duty. The plan sets monthly education aid up to 36 months with varying amounts for dependents, plus loan support for city and farms but excludes new starting business loans. Widows of service-connected deaths would qualify for loan aid.
