Joy goes right into conference
with Ridgway but he didn't do it
tonight. He went straight home. -
1t was the second time Admiral
Joy has come to Tokyo since the
Reds suspended the talks August
%. On his previous visit he con-
ferred at length with Gen. Ridg-
way.
The source close to the top AL
lied negotiator said he didn't know
how long the admiral would
be in Tokyo "and I doubt that
he knows himself"
Suspended armistice negotia-
tons sank closer to a complete
break under an outburst of Red
charges that grew like a fostering
sore.
Full-scale fighting in the IA
rnopths-old war was ready to flare
at any moment if cease-fire talks
collapse completely.
A see-Saw battle blazed for the
fourth day along the east central
front u N. troops smashed out
bloody gains through savage
counterattacks by massing Red
forces.
Gen. RidgWay was stonily silent
about the latest Communist
charge that his U. N. forces
violated the Kaesong neutrality
zone.
But his Public Information
Office issued a release saying the
Reds deliberately "set about to
bring the peace negotiations to a
standStill, without consideration
for the fact that their own forces
are dying at the rate of over a
thousand a day"
Change in Red Line Seen. q.
The release said the Chinese
and North Koreans originally
entered truce talks determined to
secure by conference what they
had failed to do in battle.
Subsequent events have in
dicated there may be change ir
the Red line of thought.
In view of the fact that Russia
announced that her representa-.
tiveS will be at San Francisco. not
to sign the Japanese peace) pact
but to denounce it. it becomes
clearer as the war is prolonged
day by day, and as the 4th oi
September (opening day of the
treaty conference) draws closer
that the new motive for sus-
pending cease-f1re talks is CLOSELY
tied up with the japanese peace
treaty.
"The overt effect of such tao
tics is obvious. 1t makes one
nation-in this case Korea
totally helpless pawn in the ex-
pansionist Red struggle elsewhere
Having failed to destroy the
Republic of Korea and to en-
slave the Korean people by force
OF arms, the Reds may be deliber-
ately prolonging Koreas suffering
and frustrating it's eventual uni
t1cation in order to blackmail the
rest of the world at San Fran
CISCO"
Statements issued by the Public
Information Office usually reflect
the thinking in the Supreme AL
lied Commanders headquarters.
Charges Held Manufactured.
The statement again accused
the Reds of manufacturing
charges to prevent resumption of
peace talks. Negotiations began
July 10 and were broken off
August % by the Reds on the al
legation that an Allied plane
bombed the Kaesong neutrality
zone where they were held.
All charges have brought de-
mails from the U. N. command.
An official Communist note. de-
livered last night, told Gen. Ridg-
way IF you are determined to
break up the negotiations. YOU
should openly and formally de-
clare your intention to do so. in
stead of ceaselessly carrying out
such scoundrelly provocations."
1t told. the U. N. commander
If you still have the intention of
reSuming the Kaesong talks" he
must "conscientiously and respon-
sloly deal with the series of grave.
provocative incidents"
Red China's Peiping radio
added to the scope of Communist
charges.
Peiping said an American plane
bombed Manchuria and American
warships entered Chinese waters.
The broadcast said two bombers
flew across the Yalu River border
between Korea and Manchuria
last Wednesday. One of them
dropped bomb in the Antung
area of Manchuria, the radio as
serted.
Peiping said American warships
entered North China waters the
same day. The ships we're alleged
to have flashed their searchlightS
and shot flares along the Shan
tung Coast near Chefoo, off the
north coast of Kung Tung Island
east of Chefoo, and off the east
coast of Lung Kou Chen.
Previous Red charges centered
on alleged U. N. violations of the
Kaesong neutrality zone. There
has been a long series.
Admiral Joy added to the equal
ly long series of denials last night
The Reds had charged that
South Korean troops" murdered
two military police in the zone
