Soviet GuiItin Korea;
Council |nspects Gun
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 19.-
Gen. Macarthur charged yesterday
that Communist China provided a
major share of the muscle of the
North Korean army by swelling it's
ranks with 10000 to 10000 COM
bat-seasoned troops of Korean
origin.
Russia supplied the North Ko-
rean Communists with weapons
and munitions sending in wide
variety of equipment as late as
1850, Gen. Macarthur said.
In his fourth report to the
United Nations Security Council.
Gen. Macarthur made it clear
that this outside aid pumped up
the striking power of the North
Koreans to the point where they
were able to launch their invasion
of South Korea June 25. The
U. N. commander pointed out, for
example, that North Korea's in
dustry sis not capable of providing
heavy equipment such as armor,
tanks and artillery"
Delay Effort Fails.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik tied the Council
up in a wrangle lasting more than
two hours as he waged a losing
fight to delay the reading of Gen.
MacArthur's report. He finally
was voted down 10 to l.
At the end of the reading
American Delegate Warren R.
Austin introduced exhibits. includ-
ing a submachine gun.
Gen. Macarthur said the weap
on was physical proof of Soviet
delivery of munitions to North
Korean forces during 1949 and
1880"
For awhile the gun lay on the
table almost studiously unnoticed
by the Security Council members
But after Mr.. Austin completed
reading Gen. Macarthur report
and suggested that the Council
members examine the accompany
ing exhibits, Sir Gladwyn Jebb,
Council president. said almost
wryly: II suggest that they be
passed around"
Malik Takes Walk.
The delegates, all except Mr.
Malik, showed marked interest.
They held it, hefted it, aimed it,
and as it circled the table toward
Mr.. Malik. the Russian arose
abruptly and took a walk. Nor
wegian Representative Bredo Sta
bell proffered the gun repeatedly
to A. A Soldatov, senior Soviet
adviser, but the Russian seemed
not to see.
1t was after the Council ad-
journed that newsmen had an
opportunity for a closeup at the
weapon, crudely made. but very
strong.
1T is a good gum" explained
Col. John T. Cole of the United
States Military Staff Committee.
1T is very workable"
Technically labeled a 7.62-mm.
PRSH-A1 sub-machine gun, Col.
Cole said it apparently CORE
sponded to the American 80. "a
modification of the Thompson
sub-machine gun"
Captured Near Taegu.
The official American notation
said it had been captured from the
North Koreans in the ricinity of
Taegu before July 81. The report
said:
LAS a Soviet pistol. it has selec-
tive automatic or semiautomatic
action. 1t was the standard Soviet
sub-machine gun of World War II
and still is in manufacture"
Upon returning to the meeting
Mr.. Malik called Gen. Macarthur
an "obscurantist Fascist" and
said the generals report was a
"bloodthirsty document trying to
justify" American aggression in
Korea.
He accused the United States
Air Force of attacking civilians
and bombing schools, hospitals
and homes. Mr.. Malik main
tanned that the Soviet Union sold
weapons to the North Koreans
only when Russian troops with
drew in December, 1948.
Mr.. Malik's 22-minute speech
was a reiteration of Communist
claims that the United States is
the aggressor in Korea-claims
which have been completely re-
jected by the non-Communist
world. The council adjourned
without fixing a date for it's next
meeting.
Earlier Mr.. Malik had remained
expressionless with his earphones
off so he could not hear the Rus
sian translation of Gen. MacAr-
thurs words. Looking off into
space he scribbled idly on a piece
of paper before him.
