MUNSAN. Korea. (Tuesday) tP
Communist negotiators accused the
United Nations Command of "en
gaging in lies" In proposing pris
oner exchange Monday, and the
charge brought a prompt Allied
demand to prove the charge or re-
iraci n.
Additional heat was added to the
stormy session by Communist char
ges that Allied planes flew over
several cities in Manchuria on Sun
day. Allied negotiators on the truce
supervision subcommittee switched
tactics Monday alter tailing for
three straight days to tret an oral
statement of the Communist stand
on airfield reconstruction. Instead
the U.N. asked the Reds to agree
to restrictions.
The request got a chilly recep
tion. The Reds charged that Allied
planes flew over Mukden, Wushien
and other Chinese communities but
did not say any were attacked.
A U.H. spokesman at Panmun
jom said "We assume the charge is
similar to a lot of other allegations
they have made and completely Ir
relevant to uie meeting."
A Fifth Air Force spokesman at
Seoul denied that any Allied planes
flew over Northeast China Sunday.
The outburst of Communist tem
per came after Rear Adm. R. E.

Vote Slated

ing. A favorable vote will qualify
the district for state aid totaling
S160.891. Cost of the building Is es
timated at $312,891.
Christy stated today that con
firmation has been given by the
state board of planning, Sacra
mento, that in event the camp Is
occupied, a new site can be chosen
and the school built elsewhere

able to the board. This area is on
the site of the building now being

voters in the district and the pro
posed issue must be passed by a
