(AP Wirephoto via radio from Tokyo.) l'ed ore° Proposal Rejected by UN MUNSAN, Korea, Thursday, March 13—(R)--The Reds changed their tough tune at the Korean truce talks Wednesday, apparently because of the stern Allied warning against further threats. There still was no progress. In sharp contrast to their tirades of several days ago, the Reds Wednesday suggested mildly that neutral truce inspectors in cluding Russia—be permitted to examine secret military equip ment' The United Nations command rejected the proposal on grounds it "amounted to a forced gather ing of military intelligende." The Allies want inspection of replace ment equipment only. Regarding Russia as one of the neutral inspectors, the Allies pre viously, said no—finally and irre vocably. That is one major road block in the current truce super vision negotiations. In an adjoining faded tent at Panmunjom, Allied truce dele gates told the Reds again they could not accept the vaguely worded Communist proposal of March 5 to exchange prisoners on the basis of lists already traded.

They lost f our Tuesday and seven Monday. In addition, one MIG was probably destroyed and 10 damaged. Allied losses, if any, will be recorded later in a weekly summary. In Wednesday's seven-minute dogfight high over northwest Ko rea. .the U.S. jets outnumbered the Reds for a change-20 F-86s against. 1.7 MIGs.

He said he would have stopped them if he had known. In fact, Morris told investi gating senators, he did not even learn of the shipments until De cember, 1949, or January, 1950. Morris, New York lawyer pick ed by President Truman to clean up the government, was back for the second day before the Senate investigations subcommittee, and again it was a rough and tumble session. In one angry flareup, Morris told Sen. McCarthy, (R-Wis), "you've knocked off a lot of characters but you're . not going to knock off me." McCarthy had declared the oil shipments helped "sign the death warrants of American boys in Korea," and had said to Morris: "Either you were the greatest dope and the greatest dupe of all time, or you were responsible for earning a vast amount of money that was soaked in Ameri can blood." McCarthy challenged Morris to name "any characters McCarthy knocked off that shouldn't have been knocked off." Morris mentioned no names. The oil was, hauled between June, 1949, arid May, 1950, by ships of United ' Tanker Corp., New York. The Korean war be gan in June, 1950. ..
