UN RejAkcts Report
As 'Unsatisfactory'
Air Force to Pay
Red Pilotsloo,ooo
For First MlOl7
BULLETIN
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. (JP)
The Air Force said today the
Communist pilot who landed
his • Russian - built MIGIS or
MIGI7 plane near Seoul will be
paid $lOO,OOO.
The April offer was $lOO,OOO
for the first MIG and. $50,000
for any later deliveries.
SEOUL, Tuesday, Sept. 22 (W)
—An anti-Communist North Ko
rean in his flight to freedom yes
terday may have brought to Seoul
a new type MIGIS or a MlGl7—a
twin jet job which is one of Rus
sia's newest.
The Seoul newspaper Tong-a
Ilbo, quoting an officer who had
seen it, said flatly it was a MIGI7.
This seemed unlikely since the
MIGI7 previously had been re
ported based only in Russia and
Germany.
A spokesman for the sth Air
Force, which previously had said
it was a MIGIS, declared he could
not "confirm anything :that the
Seoul press reports."
Some Allied, airmen, who
caught brief glimpses of the Rus
sian-built jet-after -the North Ko
rean pilot made a perfect landing
at Seoul's Kimpo Airfield, thought
it was a new model MIGIS.
The pilot presumably flew it
to Seoul to collect the $lOO,OOO
reward offered last April by Gen.
Mark Clark for the first MIG
flown to South Korea.
The whereabouts of the pilot
were unknown. The sth Air Force
said the fugitive pilot "is out of
our hands."
The MIGI7 is an improved ver
sion of the MIGI7 with new ra
dar equipment and having . a
speed of more than 650 miles an
hour.
President Asks
No Sacrifice
In Defense
BOSTON, Sept. 21 (W)--Presi
dent Eisenhower declared tonight
no defense sacrifice—"no labor, no
tax, no service"--is too great for
America to bear against enemies
of freedom "equipped with the
most terrible weapons of destruc
tion."
It was Eisenhower's, first public
mention of such weapons since
Russia announced last month—
and the U.S. Atomic Energy Com
mission confirmed—that the So
viet Union has exploded a hydro
gen bomb.
The President's remarks came
in a speech prepared for delivery
at a $lOO-a-plate dinner of New
England Republicans in Boston
Garden.
He listed the things Which he
said his administration has ac
complished so far, and cited other
things which he predicted will be
achieved at the next session of
Congress.
Nowhere in his speech, how
ever,'"did the chief executive say
anything about the income tax
and excess profits tax reductions
scheduled to go into - effect in Jan
uary,
The fact he entiOn
tax cuts, coupled did
with not
his m state
ment that no tax sacrifice is 'too
great for America to bear, raised
a question of whether the, admin
istration might be reconsidering
its pbsition on takes in the light
of Russia's possession of the dread
H-bomb.
" The President said that in this
age, of
_peril, "the security of our
whole nation—the preservation of
our free system—must dir e c t
every thought and every decis
ion."
PANMUNJOM, Tuesday, Sept. 22 (PP) The United * Nations
Command _yesterday, rejected as. "totally unsatisfactory and un
unacceptable" a Communist preliminary report that more than 900
Americans. and 2500 other- Allied soldiers believed still in North
Korea were "never captured."
At a long and heated session of the Joint Military Armistice
Commission, the Reds not only shrugged off an accounting of the
missing men at this time but de
manded the Allies account for 98,-
742 missing Chinese and North
Koreans.
There were these other devel
opments in a busy day:..,

PANMUNJCM, Tuesday,
Sept. 22 (JP)—A Communist cor
respondent said today 23 Ameri

The correspondent, WilfrOd
Burchett of the Paris L'Hu
manite, described them as cap

prisoners.
prisoners who have refused re
patriation. The Allies maintained
the unwilling prisoners should
not be forced to submit to "ex
planations" by Red representa
tives during a 90-day period due
to begin Friday.
2. The Allies said they would
complete by tomorrow the last
transfer of anti-Communist pris

guards . . . with the delivery of
1479 North Korean prisoners to
day the Allies complete the de

Lee Renews Demands
North Korean Gen. Lee Sang
. Cho. senior Red member of the
l Armistice Commission, handed
the Allies Monday a bulky roster
of 82,158 Koreans and 15,504 Chi
nese he said haVe been in Allied
custody and have neither been
returned nor reported dead or
escaped.
Lee also renewed demands for'
an accounting of 27,000 North Ko
reans released by order of ,Presi
dent Syngman Rhee last June.
The Red list apparently in
cluded these North Koreans and
7800 others refusing repatriation
and all of the 15,000 Chinese who
have refused to go back to Red
rule. The Allies acknowledged re
ceipt of the list and reserved a
reply for later. As for the Ameri
can, South 'Korean and All i e d
soldiers, tbtaling 3040 missing
men, Lee charged the list was
"crudely manufactured.".

The Brotherhood of Rail road

when present contracts expire.
W. P. Kennedy, president of the

"We feel that the railroad work

sent, are entitled to these in
creases," Kennedy said.
All the union's contracts ex
pire on Oct. 1.
Kennedy said he had "every
reason to believe" that the BRT's

Meany Charges
With Bad Policies
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21 (FP)—AFL President George Meany charged
today that under the Eisenhower administration "human values
have very definitely been submerged to the material welfare of the
greedy few."
Meany's keynote address at opening sessions of the annual AFL
convention hit hard at administration policies and said labor unions
must step up their political activity.
Delegates applauding Meany's ,
sharp words of criticism at the
'national government included
Martin Durkin, AFL Plumbers
Union President who recently
quit as Secretary of Labor in Eis
enhower's Cabinet. Durkin sat in
a front seat among the delegates.
Meany said he recently re
ceived a pamphlet prepared by
the National Association of Man
ufacturers praising administration
policies. He said the pamphlet
came to him in a letter mailed
free from the White HoUse.
The AFL chief read from the
pamphlet and took a critical view
of nearly every point the NAM
found worthy of praise. Then
Meany said:
"Now I'm sure the NAM r can
afford to buy a 3-cent stamp. But
maybe they feel theY have taken
over Washington to such an ex
tent they are now an official part
of the government."
Meany said that apparently
contrary to the NAM the AFL
was looking . to Washington for
aid in public housing, education
aid, ' changing the Taft-Hartley
law more to union liking, and
on many other subjects.
"We are sure deep down in our
hearts," said Meany, "that the
things that are good for Arr-'rica
are good for the American Fed
eration of Labor."
to Ask
Increwse
general chairman's association of
the BRT had voted unanimously
today to adopt the recommenda
tion. The association guides wage
and rule policies of the union. Its
members serve as business agents
for BRT locals.
Kennedy told a news confer
ence - the action was. taken "after
we'd given very careful consider
ation to the increased productivi
ty of railroad employees, particu
larly those in the yards."
A reliable estimate, based on
railroad figures, puts the present
wage scale at $14.50 a day for
yard workers and $13.50 for road
workers.
The BRT, which is the nation's
largest union of operating rail
road workers, represents conduc
tors, switchmen, brakemen an d
dining car stewards.

Investis , ation
Of ; eria's
Flight Seen
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (/P)--
Vice-President Nixon and two
senators confirmed today that
American agents are investigating
reports that Lavrenty Beria, de
posed chief of the Soviet secret
police, has escaped from Russia.
They agreed, however, the truth
of the reports is far from estab
lished.
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis), quoting
"people who claim to have been
in contact" with the fugitive in a
European hideout, told newsmen:
"The man is a Russian who
looks like Beria, who says 'I am
Beria' and gives details of an al
leged escape from Russia and is
willing to talk."
In New York, Nixon said he
heard about 30 days ago "from
people who are supposed to have
the story" that Beria had fled
Russia. But he said he doesn't
'know whether the story is true.
"The report came td my atten
tion," Nixon 'told reporters, "and
is in the hands of the proper in
vestigative organizations of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
the Central Intelligence Agency,
and the State Department."
One angle of the case under
scrutiny is that the fugitive wants
political asylum in the United
States.
The State Department declined
comment, but government offi
cials privately were inclined to
scoff at the story,
The fantastic report originally
came from a high Senate source,
thoroughly informed about the
operations of McCarthy's Senate
investigations subcommittee, who
asked not to be identified.
At his latest news conference
tonight, McCarthy said:
,
"I am not claiming it is, but it
well might be that the mystery
man is Beria."
