...Within the hour. State Department Press Officer Lincoln White told reporters that Herter had expressed the U.S.'s "profound and growing concern" over 1) the highhanded suppression of political opposition by South Korea's 85-year-old President Syngman Rhee, 2) brutal Korean police action against student protest marchers, and 3) other "repressive measures unsuited to a free democracy."
