VtUNSAN at The U. N. Cora
tnjnd Sunday pondered Communist
demands for a crackdown on South
Kdrean President Syngman Rhee's
government, and also a Bed hint
that a Korean armistice agreement
was possible without the Southern
republic's signature.
; yvithout closing the door 00 an
armistice. Communist leaders in a
tense plenary session of truce ne
gotiators Saturday at Panmunjom
bitterly assailed Rhee's arbitrary
action freeing z,000 anu-nea war
prisoners this week.
-The feeds demanded recapture
of the prisoners. They accused the
AJlies of conniving with South Ko
rea in the escapes - and bluntly
aflced "is the United Nations Com
mand able to control the South Ko
rean government and Army?"
The Commurists said "we are
awaiting the reply of your side,"
and asked and got an indefinite
recess.
Bhee Responsible
Gen. Mark Clark called the. re
lease "completely unauthorized"
and said "The entire responsibility
rests squarely upon President
Rhee and the government of Ko
rea." The U. N. commander in a state
ment from his Tokyo headquarters
saia the action "has been a deep
anc personal disappointment to me
and my entire command.
"It has given rise to wholly un
founded suspicions of collusion on
the part of the ROK government
and the U.N.C. to circumvent or
abrogate the prisoner of war agree
ment at Panmunjom."
The pact provided for the event
ual freeing of the prisoners if
through several administrative
steps they continued to refuse re
patriation. ' Violation of Authority
"There has been no collusion nor
has the U.N.C. in any way been
a part to this completely unau
thorized action," Clark said. He
called it a "direct violation of the
authority vested" in him.
Clark said the Allied command
had been aware that certain South
Korean government elements ad
vocated freeing the captives.
"The personal assurance of Pres
ident Rhee. however, rere con
sidered sufficient guarantee that
no such action would be taken
without prior consultation with
me." Clark explained.
He said he had considered re
pli8nb South Korean guards at
Allied stockades but decided
against doing so because they had
been trustworthy and had per
formed their duties commendably.
Furthermore. Clark said, replacing
the South Korean guards would
have constituted a serious drain
on . our front line forces." ;
The Peiping Radio x x x fifth
graf.
The Peiping Radio, quoting a
Red correspondent at North Ko
rean trace 1 headquarters atJCae
song, said "observers" there felt
that u. N. commander Gen. Mark
W. Clark's "answer to these cru
cial questions will decide further
progress of the talks."
: The Communist high command
letter asked whether the U. N.
can control the South Koreans
then:
"If no. does the armistice in Ko
riea include the Syagman Rhee
clique?"
Ask Assurance
: It asked that, if South Korea is
not included, "what assurance is
there for the implementation of
the armistice agreement on the
part of South Korea?"
: Lt - Col. Milton Herr, an : official
U. N. spokesman, said the Reds
seemed to be offering the U. N.
a separate truce without South Ko
rea signing.
; The U. N. Command was in the
middle of a nutcracker situation.
On one side were Red demands
that the U. N. take full responsibil
ity for the prisoner breakout.
' On the other side was a Repub
lic of Korea (ROK) demand that
the remaining 9,000 North Korean
anti-Reds still in the prisoner com
pounds be freed immediately. An
other 600 broke out Saturday night
Allied to Reds
General Clark was forced by
circumstances to be allied with
Communist criticisms of the Rhee
government'i action.
Clark in a crisply worded letter
to Rhee told the ROK president
that the prisoner release was a
"clear violation of my authority"
and the U. N. commander said he
could "not at this time estimate
the ultimate consequences" of the
South Korean leader's "precipitous
and shocking" act

Casualty Total
WASHINGTON UB The Army,
after a three-year check of the
records of each man. has issued a
new and final account of its World

936,259 Army and Air Force per
sonnel. ;
Deaths totaled 234.874.

three services. !
The new Army figure was about
12,000 less than the casualties esti
mated in 1946, 'but the number of
deaths was a little over 5,000 more,
than the original count

WASHINGTON U) U. S. offi
cials decided Saturday that the
Reds seriously want ; a truce in
Korea. But they; were deeply con
cerned about ' how to meet Red
demands for a guarantee that
South Korea will observe the
terms. :
Another move in the so far de
feated efforts to get South Korean
President Syngman "Rhee's coop
eration will be made shortly.
A special emissary of the ad
ministration is being - sent to try
to impress upon - Rhee tile grave
dangers for South Korea which
President Eisenhower and Secre
tary of State Dulles see in his
course of conduct
This special mission will be
State Walter S. Robertson, the
State Department's Far East chief.
He will' go to - Korea, probably
leaving Sunday afternoon or Mon
day, at the invitation of Rhee but
by the expressed decision of the
President and Dulles to try to
break the crisis in relations be
tween the South Korean and Uni
ted Nations allies.
Failed U Break Contact
Belief that the Reds really want
a truce grew out of the attitude
they took in the most recent meet
ing of true negotiators at Pan
munjom. They failed to break off
contact or reopen vital parts of
the terms already agreed.
Some such action by them had
been feared as a result of Rhee's
release earlier in the week of thou
sands of North Koran prisoners
of war who, under the truce terms,
were not supposed to get their
freedom for many months.
What the Reds did do in the
brief conference, however, pre
sented the United States with
grave difficulties in framing a
reply for the ' U. N. Command to
make at the next session, which
will be called when the U. N. is
ready to reply.
Ask Recapture .
The Reds asked essentially for
two things first, the recapture
of the thousands of the released
through South Korea with the
blessings of Rhee's government;
second, firm assurances that if a
truce is finally signed the South
Korean government and army
about 16 divisions will abide by
it
Privately, responsible, officials
considered the Red demands not
unreasonable in the circumstance
and short of what the Reds might
have done if they wanted to wreck
truce prospects. . Meeting the de
mands was quite a different mat
tr, however.
While Gen. Mark Clark has said
he would recapture the prisoners
it is considered virtually impos
sible here that he would get all of
them. Moreover it is manifestly
impossible at this time for Clark's
U. N. Command to guarantee South
Korea's behavior on any point

Bradley Says
Russia Fears
U.S. Strength
By JACK BELL; i
.Washington wv-Gen.
Omar N. Bradley has told sena
tors he believes Russia is "pull
ing back" in the cold war be
cause the Soviets fear increased
17. S. military strength and need
time to consolidate their position
at home. f :
Bradley, retiring chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testi
fied recently - before the Senate
Fore gin Relations Committee , on
the administration's' foreign aid
bill and his testimony was made
public Saturday. .
The question and answer ses
sion turned at one point from
the question of foreign aid to
domestic defense funds and to
the administration's decision to
cut five billion dollars' off Air
Force funds. Bradley called this
decision a "stretchout" of the
drive toward the goal of a 143
wing Air Force. '
Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala.) ob
served that probably the great
est victory the Russians could
win "would be to get Us to re
lax." :
143-Wing Goal
v Bradley said the military high
command would like to reach
the 143-wing Air Force geal "as
soon as . we can." Secretary of
Defense Wilson has contended
that the five billion dollar cut
doesn't mean abandonment of
the goaL
But Bradley said the U. S.
can't wait too long.
""The longer we put it off, the
greater risk we are taking be
cause certainly Russia is getting
stronger in some ways, particu
larly her atomic stockpile,"
Bradley testified.
Racing Atom Bombs
He said he hoped that "before
that stockpile becomes too for
midable, we would reach this
strength in Air Power we think
is necessary to combat a rea
sonable stockpile of A-bombs on
their part f ;
Chairman Wiley R-Wis. asked
if Bradley was implying that
President Eisenhower and others
who had decided on the cut in
Air Force money requests were
