in an effort to disrupt peace talks
The possibility of a growing
divergence of views between Chi
nese and North Korean truce
negotiators was raised by Gen
Nuckols.
Gen. NuckolS said he believed
the Chinese were receiving in
structions from Peiping. capital of
Red China. while some directives
to the North Koreans were handed
down from "the Communist hier-
archy."
His use of Communist hier-
archy" was interpreted to mean
Communists in Moscow.
North Koreans Blamed.
Gen. Nuckols made this state
ment only "a hours after he re-
ported that U. N. authorities in
Korea felt the ambush Of the Chi
nese patrol was the work of North
Koreans trying to sabotage armis-
tice talks and make the Chinese
fight the war for them.
Co-incidental with Gen. Nuckols'
comments, members of the U. N.
motor convoy to Kaesong today
noted for the first time several
score men of military age wearing
the white garments of farmers.
Heretofore peasants seen working
in the fields along the way were
mostly old men and women.
Associated Press Correspondent
Robert B. Tuckman reported those
seen today were healthy young
men wearing leather military belts
and blue sneakers, such as those
worn by soldiers in the North
Korean Army.
Chinese placed a patrol of a
dozen or more soldiers north of
the Red outpost at Panmunjom
along the road. They patrolled
at intervals of a few hundred
yards along this outskirt of the
neutrality zone. None was armed.

Says He Can Get Witnesses.
They wanted to know if he be-
lieved any of those named in the
letter were guilty Of treason under
the accepted constitutional term
and whether he could prove any
overt acts against the United
States.
Mr.. Kohlberg looked over the
list and replied that "some OF
them" were. He added that they
were guilty of giving aid ano
comfort" to world Communism.
He said he could produce wit
nesses to support his charges but
insisted he would offer actual
proof "only in court"
Mr.. Kohlberg also said that in
his opinion the present truce ne
gotiations in Korea are shadow
boxing" and offered as IAN in
formed guess" that the country's
political future already had been
settled by a secret agreement in
Paris between Mr.. Jessup and the
Russians.

The importer insisted, however,
that he was making no charges
and had never made any charges
against Mr.. Jessup. But he used
the term himself at one point
when he said he had made the
charges" in Baltimore speech
and the State Department had de-
MED them by saying it was "a bad
guess"
He explained that his informed
guess" came from what he con-
sidered leaks" to newspaper col
umnists and magazines.
In his letter he said that with
men like Jessup running our af-
fairs" there is no wonder that
New York parkway signs now
read: I'm case of enemy attack
on New York this parkway will be
closed to all except military and

He said Ambassador Jessup and
"his group" had brought about
the situation in which Soviet
power has grown from 200 million
to 800 million, including 500 mil
lion in China.
Denies Receiving Lobby Pay.
Mr.. Kohlberg also had an Army
intelligence document forecasting
present events in Korea. The
document was referred to by the
eight Republican Senators in
their report over the week end
on the Macarthur inquiry. Mr.
Kohlberg said the Senator'S were
wrong in saying the State De-
partment had ignored the intel
ligence report. They read it, he
said. and then did what it warned
against.
Mr.. Kohlberg also repeated de-
malls that he ever received pay
from so-called China lobby and
freely admitted he had supplied
Senator Mccarthy. Republican,
of Wisconsin, with information
on Ambassador Jessup and
others, and thought his campaign

Mrs. Smith pointed out that, if
Republican Floor Leader Wherry
Of Nebraska agreed with Senator
Mccarthy, he could remove her
from the Elections Subcommittee.
That subcommittee is part Of the
Rules Committee, on which Sena-
tor Wherry is ranking Republican.

Mr.. Sodaro made the statement

In closing, Mrs. Smith said the
most direct answer to Senator
