The UN Far East commander
Made it clear in a letter handed
the Reds at Panmunjom that his
demands included U.S. airmen
held without prisoner of war-clas
sification because the Commu
nists insist their planes crashed
in "neutral" Manchuria.
Clark bluntly rejected as "whol
ly unacceptable" the Reds reply
Monday to his original demand
Sept. 9 for an accounting. That
Red answer was to the effect
that most of the men listed never
had been captured and that others
died, escaped or were released at
the front.
Clark pointed out that the "list
included many names of Men who
had been listed by Red broad
casts as prisoners of war or who
had written home from Red
camps that they were prisoners.
Also on the , list were the names
of 23 Americans who were turned

Clark's demand for an account

3404 Allied prisoners including
944 Americans.
Thursday the Allies conceded
at a meeting of the armistice com
mission secretariat that . 27 Artier
ican names should be deleted but
then added on 41 American names
as well as those of two British
soldiers and a Canadian. That put

23 U.S. PWs

TOKYO, Friday, Sept. 25 (I')—
The Communists yesterday made
public the names of 23 'U.S. pris
oners they said refused to go
i home where "those who speak
out for peace and freedom are
rapidly being 'silenced."
The quotation was from a state
ment, purportedly signed by all
23, handed out by a Communist
correspondent at Panmunjom.
The statement quoted them as
saying they still loved America
and hoped to return some day
but for now felt they could best
work for peace behind the "bam
boo curtain:"
A quick flood of reaction in
the United States from anguished
relatives of men named on the
list was one of almost unanimous
disbelief.

Hydrogen Bomb

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (if 3 )--
The dread hydrogen. bomb may

Americans
The word seeped out, today as
President Eisenhower met in a
prolonged 3-hour session with
his National Security Council, the
commanders and civilian chiefs
of the armed forces, and a com
mittee of advisers on defense of
the North American continent.
No information was. released
after the secret session as to what
took place. Vice President' Nixon,
one of the 26 participants, com
mented in reply to questions that
meetings of 'the council are "al
ways completely - confidential."
The' extraordinary nature of the
session was attested by the fact
that more than twice the usual
number attended. '
Of primary concern, obviously,
was Russia's position in the atom
ic arms race, and America's abil
ity to unleash retaliatory action
if the Soviet Union should start
war with hydrogen bombs.
But it was the amazing pro
gress in development of H-bombs
for the American arsenal that
stirred alarm.
Nuclear scientists are on the
track of methods for making and
exploding hydrogen weapons so
simplified and so relatively cheap
that any nation with a moderate
military budget may be able to
manufacture them well within
the next decade.

Famed MtG's Value
Reduced to Zero
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (JP)—The price of Russia's renowned
jet fighter, the MIGIS, fell from $50,000 to zero on the American
market today.
.Gen. Mark Clark's Far East Command announced withdrawal
of its offer to pay $50,000 to any Red pilot who delivers a Russian
built jet into the hands of United Nations forces in Korea.
At the same time the United
States offered to return to its
"rightful owner" the MIGIS flown
to an American airbase in South
Korea last week by a young
North Korean pilot.
Some officials here said the en
emy aircraft was an old type from
which American aviation experts
could learn very little. It is
known that the Communists have
developed, an advanced model jet
known as the MIGI7.
The reward for the delivery of
MIGs has been withdrawn "dur
ing this period of armistice dis
cussions." This seemed to indi
cate it would be reinstated if
hostilities were resumed, although
there was no official statement to
this effect.
Pentagon sources suggested the
armistice alsb entered into the
offer to return the MIG sur
rendered in South Korea.
Reporters were unable to learn
where the surrendered MIG is at
this moment. Last Tuesday -the
U.S. Air Force said it had been
dismantled and loaded on 'a C 124
Globemaster for shipment to the
Air Materials Command at the
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base I
near Dayton, Ohio.
The Defense Department said
definitely today, however, that ,
the plane has not been brought tot
this country.
