We bring you now late dis
patch from our special CORE
spondent in Kaesong.
Gen. Ridgway, commander of
the United Nations forces. again
distorted facts in his reply yes
terday to the second request .
of Gen. Kim II Sung, supreme
commander of the Korean Peo-
Piles Army. and Gen. Peng Teh-
huai, commander Of the Chinese
Peoples Volunteers.
He stubbornly alleged in his
reply that in the course of in
vestigation of August % of the
Kaesong neutral zone on the 22nd,
Liaison Officer Col. Chang (Chun-
sham of our side had clearly re-
jected the demand of the liaison
officer of the opposite side to con-

"StrOng Slander Perpetrated."
1t will be recalled that strong
slander was first perpetrated by
Vice Admiral &C. Turner) Joy,
head of the delegation Of the
United Nations force, in his re-
port to Gen. Ridgway on the Incl
dent.
A spokesman of our delegation
Of Gen. Nam II in his statement
on the incident has fully exposed
this SANDER, which was obviously
malicious in character.
Nevertheless. disregarding the
fact, Gen. Ridgway has again
brought forward this slander IN
order to camouf1age the illegal
bombing of the Kaesong neutral
zone by military aircraft of the
United Nations forces.
To get a clear picture on the
matter, this correspondent inter-
viewed Col. Chang. liaison officer
of our side, who made the follow
ing statement:

posed to have refused the demand
Of the liaison officer of the other
side to make another investigation
up to daybreak. This is pure lie
from start to finish. Not only did

mand to come again and make a
further investigation up to day.

that we could welcome their COM
ing back for re-investigation which
they consider it necessary, and
that they could at any time.
Evasion Is Charged.
In the course Of the inveStiga-
ton by both sides during the
Of August %, Col. Kinney,
liaison officer Of the United Ma
tions, from beginning to end
showed unwillingness to go through
with the investigation.
When our side demanded that
they Immediately come over for a
joint investigation, the liaison off,
GERS of the other side refused on
the ground that it was too late at
night.
However, after solemn and firm
insistence by our side, the inves-
legations did begin.
While examining the various
bomb craters and bomb frag-
ments, Col. Kinney said it was
pointless to go on with the in
vestigation. After that. as each
bomb crater was examined, Col.
kept showing his impa-
tience and kept urging his as
Col. (James c. Murray,
to end the investigation.
AS our side insisted on going
on with the investigation, Col.
refused on the pretext
that it was raining and main
tanned that he would come again
to reinvestigate in daylight.
Alleged Quotations. 4
The exchange of conversations
at that time was as follows:
Col. Kinney: It's dark and it's
raining. I'll come back and take
a look after daybreak.
Col. Chang: We should now
proceed with the detailed investi-
cation. What is wrong with in
vestigating now? Could this
evidence still be insufficient? AS
