- NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (W)—Atom
spy Harry Gold was quoted by
Senate probers today as linking
an ousted American employe of
the United Nations to a Russian
spy ring of a decade ago.
The, former $10,450 a year UN
employe is Alexander Svenchan
sky, 44, a target of spy hunters
ever since the U.S.. State Depart
ment made an adverse report on
him in 1950. He uses the name;
Shura Swan, at times.
Robert Morris, counsel for the
Senate . internal security subcom
mittee, quoted Gold as saying in
a sworn statement:
"I heard of Shura Swan from a
man called Abraham Brothman.
Brothman was one of my sources
of information for the Soviet Es
pionage organization, of which I
•was a courier. I met Brothman in
September, 1941.
"About a half year after that,
Brothman first mentioned Shura
Swan. Brothma.n said it was Shu
ra Swan whd had introduced him
to Soviet espionage .work."
Brothman, 40, is serving a sev
en-year prison sentence for cOn
spiring to obstruct justice by ty
ing to federal grand jury prob
ing communism.
Gold's testimony was a factor
in the conviction of Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg, who died in the
electric chair last June as con
victed atom spies.
Gold is serving a 30-year term
in Lewisburg, Pa, federal pris
on as a confessed member of the
Rosenberg spy ring.
Svenchansky was fired by the
UN last Dec. 5, after he refused
to answer questions, about corn-,
niunism before an earlier Senate
committee. A UN administrative'
tribunal ruled his firing illegal.
When the UN refused to reinstate
him, the tribunal directed that hel
receive $20,000 damages.
He had been chief of the Rus
sian-language broadcasting sec
tion for the UN at $10,450 a year.

Asian and Arab delegates' who
talked about the atrocity charges

They expressed their 'horror also
at the evidence but made it clear
they would sit on the fence when
the case comes up in the political

American Delegate Henry Ca

his case for presentation to the

Americans did riot appear to feel
that the atrocity case would bring
on a new debate on the Korean

American sources said they did

atrocities' stop them if they really
wanted a conference.
Lodge sent a letter this morn

Secretary-General. formally re
questing that the atrocities item
be put on the assembly agenda.
The request will be debated prOb.'-
ably Monday by the steering com

new business, and the Assembly
will be asked next week to de

item at this time.
The odds are that the assembly

PANMUNJOM, Oct. 31 (!P)—
Kicking, screaming, cursing anti-
Red North Korean • war prisoners
faced Communist persuaders in
the Korean neutral zone today—
as they had promised to do—and
most of them chose emphatically
not to return to their Red-ruled
homeland.
Indian guards had to restrain
some of the violent prisoners—the
first North Koreans to attend "ex
planation" sessions—from attack
ing Communist interviewers.
The guards also had to drag
some of the POWs into the ex
planation booths.
The guards carried clubs but
didn't use them.
The POWs apparently had
planned their actions in advance.
They entered the explanation
area without much resistance but
as soon as they saw Communist
officers they burst for t h
Meanwhile. word leaked out of
'the neutral zone stockades that
another of the 1 i t t le group of
Americans who balked at going
home now is wavering in that
direction--although no move has
been made yet by the Allies to
question any of these (men.
Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya of In
dia said one of 22 Americans held
in the neutral zone has asked him
if relatives could come to Korea
and try to persuade the men to
return.
The chairman of the Neutral
Nations Repatriation Commission
said he was told the Americans
there was nothing in the Korean
armistice rules to prevent it.
Thimayya said he believed
there were others among the 22
Americans, one Briton and 331
South Koreans in the neutral
stockades who' would change
their minds. ,

Dean to Continue
Red Peace Talks
PANMUNJOM, Oct. 31 (IP)—Getting nowhere in five days,
special U.S. Envoy Arthur Dean meets Red diplomats again today in
another try_for agreement on a time and place to hold the Korean
peace conference.
The session seemed likely to yield another Red turndown on
Dean's proposals
But the D9an party was not pessimistic. The emissary of
Secretary of State Dulles has said he expected early sparring by
the Communists and would allow 10 days to 2 weeks to see if the
Reds really want' the conference.
Dean. plugged for the second time yesterday for a detour around
the Red Iroadblock—a demand that such non-belligerents as Russia,
India, Burma, PakiStan and Indonesia be admitted to the conference.
Ki Sok Tok ; North Korean foreign ministry counselor, called "ab
surd" Dean's proposal that the parties first choose the time and
place.
Ki said the propoSal was "only a trick" and the Reds found it
`absolutely unacceptable."
Dean patiently asked the Reds to "think it over carefully" and
give him another answer. Dean said he was willing to recess until
Monday but the Reds insisted on another session today.
Dean suggested that one way out of the. controversy over neu . -
trals might be to drop it in the lap of the conference itself.
"Suppose," Dean said, "we were to proceed and had the political
conference just between the two belligerent sides. 'How do you know
now that we cannot agree at the conference? Why not try to get
together at the political conference itself and work together?"
Dean did not pursue this line further but a source close to the
Dean mission indicated this :clea might he pressed next week if
the deadlock continues.
Dean came to Korea bound by a United Nations' stand against
inviting neutrals to the conference. But a spokesman for Dean said
the envoy has a lot of room in which to maneuver in his talks
with the Iteds.

tosing Ground
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (M
A Senate group reported today
communism has lost a lot of
ground in Western Europe, but
that to under-e stim a t e :Red
strength anywhere in the world
"could prove to be suicidal blind-*
ness."
The report was issued by a Sen
ate Foreign Relations subcommit
tee to 'give the American people
what Sen. Gillette described as
"a factual, statistical measure
ment of the world Communist
conspiracy:" Gillette is a sub
committee member.
Not. only have the Communists
"lost heavily" in membership and
trade union support in Free Eu
rope, the report said, but in Latin
America their strength has been
reduced more than one-third in
recent years.
