THURSDAY, APRII., 16, 1 953 Reds., : ihie(onvOys.'*o :Ship, SupOWs Spotter PlarteS Driven Away By Heavy Fire MUNSAN, Kore a, Thursday, April 16 (JP) The Communists used convoys 'of disabled Allied prisoners heading southward Wednesday to shield huge mili tary supply movements and drove off U.S. spbtter planes- with fur ious' antiaircraft fire. The first convoy of sick and wounded Allied prisoners was due to reach Kaesong, Red armistice headquarters, today for exchange beginning Monday. Two other convoys were en route over roads jammed with Red military traf fic. 3d Convoy Not Seen U.S. 'reconnaissance planes lo cated two of the convoys Wednes day. One was seven miles north of the Korean Red capital of Pyongyang and the other still was deep in North Korea, near the oft-bombed bridge and rail cen ter of Sinanju, 50 miles below the Manchurian, border. There was no sign of the third convoy the Reds ,have said is on its way. Circling low to take a close look and to photograph the prisoner convoys, pilots said they were driven off by savage antiaircraft fire. One flier said he had never before seen so many Communist• vehicles on the move over Kor ean roads. Prisoners Make Demands At the other end of the repatri ation road, 770 Chinese sick and wounded from Cheju Island stag ed a 2 1 / 2 -hour - sit-down demon stration aboard an Allied repatri ation ship at Pusan. They left sul lenly but without violence, only after U.S. guards came aboard with fixed bayonets. The prisoners through spokes men made numerous demands, such as allowing one of their lead ers to go ahead and inspect pris oner facilities. The incidents deeply disturbed Allied authorities anxi o u s to bring off without a hitch next week's exchange of 600 Allied sick and wounded, including 120 Amer icans. naturally • y.oodi f oervice PORTAGECLEANERS 118 S.

France and • Indonesia also, urged an early resumption of the talks. Vishinsky called on the UN to stop "quibbling" about details and instead help the Panmunjom ne gotiators reach on agreement. Gross briefly replied that the U.S. believed the sound course is for the UN Assembly to keep its hands off the Panmunjom talks until they are completed. He said he would support the Brazilian proposal, which was drafted as a counter-move against a Polish om nibus peace plan backed by Vish insky. • • Psych Prof to Speak Dr. William U.

Both the living and the dead were brought down from the mountainside in a dramatic rescue operation by land and air that extended through the after noon and much of last night. Only one of the survivors was reported in critical condition today.

Defense Mobilization Director Arthur S. Flemming said the ad ministration is not seeking to per petuate the curbs, but wants to give state and local governments a chance to step in with their own controls if they are needed. But Republican members of the House Banking Committee, ques tioning him, indicated a strong liking for the present April 30 expiration date. Chairman Wol cott (R-Mich.) said he had found little committee sentiment for an extension of any curbs except those applying to the most critical defense housing areas. The Senate Banking Commit tee has already approved a bill, now awaiting Senate action, to extend general rent controls to Oct. 1 and those on critical areas to April 30, 1954. There were some indications that the committee might approve a shorter extension than the five months asked by the White House. Wolcott saiu he understood that Eisenhower was concerned chiefly with giving legislatures ample time to act, and was not com mitted' to the - Oct. 1 date. Flemming said several times he didn't think an earlier date would allow the. necessary time for local governments to act, and said the Oct. 1 date is "acceptable" to the President.
