U.S. Accuses Reds
Of Truc iolation
PANMUNJOM, Korea, Sept.
24 (A')--Possibly 23 U.S. war
prisoners who the Reds say
won't go home will reach here
today amid charges the Com
munists are violating the truce
with an ominous air buildun.
It was believed the 'United Na
tions Command was contemplat
ing a official protest charging the
Communists brought jet fighters
and other planes into North Ko
rea after the armistice.
'Violated Telma'
Lt. Gen. Samuel E. Anderson,
U.S. sth Air Force commander,
declared in a statement Wednes
day: "We have two recent indica
tions that the Communists have
violated terms laid down by . the
truce in introducing warplanes
into North Korea."
Later he conferred with all five
Allied members, of the Military
Armistice Commission. An Air
Force spokesman insisted the
meeting had no connection with
Anderson's charges but it ap
peared certain the matter was
discussed.
20 Americans Due
The Communists in all are de
livering more than 300 prisoners
who they say have cast their lot
with communism.
A Communist newsman and the
Peiping radio said there will be
23 Americans, one British soldier
and 335 Koreans. Officially, the
Cominunists have said there will
be more than 20 Americans, one
Briton and more than 300 Ko
reans.
The prisoners, brought down
from nearby Kaesong, go under
the custody of Indian sodiers in
a barbed wire stockade.
Pilot in Okinawa
Anderson said his statement
was based on radar sightings
"quite recently" and on the word
of a North Korean anti-Red pilot
who flew his MIGIS to Seoul
Monday.
The whereabouts of the North
Korean pilot was a secret. He

dent Eisenhower said today in a
message to, the AFL convention
that the Taft-Hartley Act is es
sentially sound but has "a num

gress next January to change
Eisenhower's message which
was read to delegates by Vice
President Richard M. Nixon, made
no reference to the controversy
stirred up by AFL leader Martin
P. Durkin's recent resignation as

Nixon, however, in remarks of
his own, told the convention Eis

with Durkin on T-H law changes

Canada Will Not Fight
For Korean Unification
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.; Sept. 23 (W)—Canada served notice
today its troops will not fight to unify Korea by force. It favors a
negotiated settlement of the Korean problem, UN supervision of
elections. to choose a government for unified Korea,, withdrawal of
all foreign troops, and an international guarantee fbr Korea's safety.
These views were outlined to
the UN Assembly by Foreign
Secretary Lester •B. Pearson,
closely. concerned with the Ko
:ean problem since it first came
before the UN even before the
rCorean War.
Oppose Force
His statement was, seen as Can
ada's answer to reports that South
iorean President Syngman Rhee
wants to resume the war and try
to unify Korea by force of arms
if the proposed peace conference
does not produce results within 90
days after its start.
"So far as the' Canadian gov
ernment is concerned," Pearson
said, "We will not support any
military action, and we would be
opposed to any attempt to inter
pret existing United Nations ob
jectives as including the unifica,
tion of Korea by' force.
'"E`ith Needed'
"On • the - other hand, we are
aware that the signing 'of an ar
mistice does not discharge us
from obligations we have already
taken in Korea as a member of
the United Nations."
Marian -Naskowski, Polish dep
uty minister for foreign affairs,
later accused the UN of attempt
ing to impose a two-sided con
ference on the Communists. He
said the UN had not taken ad
vantage of possibilities opened by
the armistice.
He also demanded that the UN
seat Red China and supported So
viet proposals for an immediate
ban on atomic and hydrogen
weapons.

Cost of Living
Continues Climb
To New High
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (11")
Living costs across . the nation,
continuing an advance that start
ed last . February, moved _up in
August to a record high, 13 per
cent above the 1950 pre. , Koteit
level, the government announced
today.
The increase of three-tenths per
ceht, to 115 per cent of the aver-.
age 1947-1949 - base, period, Means
an automatic three cent an hour
wage increase for 1,300,000 rail
workers next month. Their wage
rates are tied to the cost of living
index with adjustments being
made every three, months.
The three cent hourly increase,
coming on top of a 10 cent rise
the rail workers already had
gained because of higher living
costs, will add an estimated $lOO
million a year to railroad pay
rolls.
The largest increase in beef and
veal prices in any single Month
since June, 1948, a one and one
tenth per cent increase in rents,
slightly less than a one per cent
increase in transportation costs,
and fractional advances in the
price of medical care, movie thea
tre admissions, helped push the
index up.
Somewhat lower . over the
month were clothing prices, house
furnishings and fresh fruits and
vegetables.'

United Nations Is
°Sheer Necessity'
Eisenhower Says
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (W)—President Eisenhower said today
the United Nations has become a "sheer necessity" in the face of
terrible new weapons of mass destruction.
Speaking in the White House rose garden, the President told
members of the U.S. committee for United Nations day:
"With all its defects, and with all the failures that we can chalk
up against it, the UN • still repre
sents man's best organized hope
to substitute the conference table
for the battlefield."
Then, in an obyious reference
to the hydrogen bomb and other
ultra-modern weapons, Eis e n
hower declared:
"In these days, when every new
invention of the scientists seems
to make .it more nearly possible
for man to insure his own eliinin
ation from this globe, I think the
United Nations has become sheer
necessity."
More than 200 members of the
committee heard the President's
informal, talk. The Delegation rep
resented 82 national organizations
and a total membership of some
35 million 'Americans.
Eisenhower told the group: .
"There is obviously one deep
and abiding bond that joins us
together—you have faith and be
lief in the United Nations, and
so do L
Reaffirming that the U.S. gov
ernment is "committed irrevoc
ably" to support the UN, the
President hailed the global organ
ization as being necessary "to de
cency, to justice and to peace in
the world."
Want to Evade
Income Tax?
Fly a MIG
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (JP)—
For real nice take-home pay, you
can't beat flying a Russian plane
into a United Nations airport.
The 22-year-old senior North
•Korean lieutenant who did it,
bringing a MIGIS to an airstrip
near Seoul, picks up the $lOO,OOO
reward this government had of
fered anyone who first delivered
a Russian plane.
• The • internal revenue people
have said it is tax free, even if
the pilot should come here, since
it was income earned outside the
United States.
They figured out that anyone
in 'this country who is single, with
no dependents, would have to
earn $940,550 in a year to have
$lOO,OOO left after federal taxes.

Parachuted
into -pain
MADRID, Spain, Sept. 23 (W)—
A story that Lavrenty P. Beria
has parachuted into Spain got
Madrid up in the air today.
But you couldn't prove from of
ficial sources that anybody had
seen hide or hair of the Krem
lin's most prominent purge vic
tim of 1953.
The national police chief said
the whole thing was laughable.
- "It looks as though Beria will
now be replacing the flying sauc
ers," he said.
The Monarchist ne w spap er
ABC set off the uproar.
Admitting it did not know
whether the story was true, ABC
published a report that Beria and
a number of other Russians
jumped several days ago into the
Mancha region.
ABC explained it assumed no
responsibility for the Beria story
and published it only because of
the bare possibility it might be
true.
The story went on to say a
number of FBI agents, bearing
special credentials signed by Vice
President Richard Nixon and a
Senate subcommittee, had ar
rived to escort the former secret
police, boss to Washington.
This angle ignored the detail
that U.S. law restricts the oper
ation of J. Edgar Hoover's agents
to the United States.
