Indian guards abandoned ' the
captives last- midnight after the
Reds wouldn't take them.
The U. N. Command virtually
told the Communist Command to
take them back.
"We welcome any statement that
you will make as to your plans for
removing tnem as rapidly as pos

Pentagon officials said that only
the Reds' refusal to take back the

days of grace before "undesirable"
discharges become effective.
Indian Lt. Gen. K. s. Thimayya

He said, however, the Red gen

camp to care for the men, which
he agreed to provided it is In ac

said no further meetings were
scheduled with the Reds. ,

The Army notified Dickenson of
the charges last night, then placed '

The 23-year-old soldier stands
accused of unlawfully holding ''in

"favorable treatment." The formal
charges say his activities ' hurt -other
prisoners of war held by the
Reds, . . 1
Officials explained that the filing
of these charges based on accusa

is only a preliminary action. It
does not even necessarily mean he
will be brought to trial. ' -
An official announcement by the '

whether to try Dickenson until
after an investigation of the
charges and evidence has been
finished and its results 'fully re
viewed for legal sufficiency." The
Army said this preliminary will
be held "at the earliest date
possible."
Dickenson, whose home Is in the
