TOKYO, Nov. 16.-A highly
placed officer said today the sur
prise announcement that Red
troops murdered more than 5000
American prisoners has stripped
the veil of mystery from what has
been holding up Korean armistice
talks.
The general officer, who is ex-
Iceptionally we'll informed on truce
negotiations, said:
THE Communists don't want to
have TO answer questions about
what happened to their prisoners. "
Since the talks began July 10,
both the Communist and United
Nations delegations have done sew
eral abrupt about faces. Each
change has been explained by
thousands of words of propaganda.
Tired mimeograph machines
have turned out tiresome COM
muniques.
But every time the U. N. re-
versed itself, or the Reds either,
the same basic problem was still
to blame.
The problem is in the objectives
of the two delegations.
The Reds want a ceaSe-fre.
The U. N. wants an armistice.
In fact, the U. N. delegation,
led by Vice Admiral C. Turner
JOY, almost got itself mouse
trapped into agreeing on a buffer
zone which would divide the op-
posing forces before the other
that the colonel's atrocity state
ment was somehow connected
with psychological warfare, of
ficials here firmly denied that
such was not the case.
Neither, they declared, was it in
any way connected with the truce
talks.
/ Indeed. they expressed concern
over adverse effects in both in
stances.
All Estimates Added Up.
The colonel apparently released
/ the figures on his own authority.
AfterWard, he declared that the
figures should have been put out
long ago to let THE GIs know what
the Chinese are doing"
:. Col. Hanley totaled up every
estimate he could find, even
though they were duplicated. it
was surmlsed here in the absence
of explanations of what his esti-
mate was based on
He said his information came
from various sources such as in
telllgence reports, agents, escaped
prisoners. survivors and families
of victims"
Several peculiarities marked the
release of Col. Hanley's charge.
/ PentagOn Still at Sea.
! One was that he made his
charge without the prior knowl-
edge of either Gen. Ridgway or
Gen. James A. Van Fleet, 9th
Army commander. Ordinarily
announcements with such far
reaching implications are released
only on the highest level.
And the fact that the Pentagon
maintained complete lack of
knowledge of the Hanley report
in advance-and indeed surprise
and amazement as twas most
unusual.
The Penatgon. as far as news
papermen could determine, re-
manned at sea as far as the cir
cumstanceS of the release. Yes

quarters in Tokyo and Army

were stunned when Col. Hanley
made public his figures.
South Koreans Not Surprised.
But South Korean government
officials said there was nothing
new in the atrocity statistics and
Expressed little surprise.
I'VE knew about the Communist
atrocities" said South Korean
President Syngman Rhee. 1--WE
just kept quiet about them"
There were reports that Gen
RidgWay would make an an

disclosure and drastically reduce
the figures as to the number OF
Americans and other United Ma
tions soldiers who have been shot
by the Reds.
But Col. Hanley stuck by his
! figures as Gen. Ridgway ordered
Col. Patrick WEIGH to interview
him and Col. Kenneth L. Booth
9th Army public information Of
flcer. Col. Hanley said the 9th
Army passed on the story.
Explanation Indicated.
But there was no question that
beyond the investigation of the
circumstances surrounding Col
Hanley's disclosure, the Army also
would have some explaining to dc
with reference to its casualty re-
ports.
The weekly statement of Amer
iican battle casualties has shown
little change in the number of re-
ported missing in action" men
who have "died''-Which presum-
ably is the category in which mas
sacred soldiers would appear.
Only 1873 men are recognized as
missing in action: died" while
1896 are carried as current
missing"
| Only the most optimistic person
could believe that actually only
1873 of all the captives have died
Wait for Identification.
The Army authorities always
has been extremely reluctant tc
pronounce soldier dead until alb
Isolute identification has been made
so that next of kin can be noti-
fed.
But actually. it was learned. oul
troops advances have disclosed
more than a thousand American
dead, often stripped not only OF
clothing but of identification tags
as well. Some have been killed in
battle. some probably put to death
after capture.
All of the former category nat
urally went into the killed in ac-
ton category but what happened
to the count on those who have
been lined up and shot after cap
Iture remains a mystery.
Senator Young and two Demo-
cratic Senators, Edwin c. johnson
of Colorado and Olin D. Johnston
of South Carolina, expressed puz-
element at the surprise voiced by
top military and Government Of
ficials over the Hanley report.
The reports also touched off
new demands from members of
| Congress and others for use of
atomic weapons in Korea, but all
available information indicated
that the Government would stand
firm against such a strategy.

,armistice details were agreed
upon.
That would have given the Reds
exactly what they wanted-a
cease-fire and freedom from U. N.
guns, planes and battleships with
out having to agree to a full arm
istice.
The difference in a cease-fire
and an armistice is this:
A ceaSe-fire is only part of an
armiStice. In addition to a cease
fire, an armistice would include
insurance against the resumption
of fighting, exchange of prisoners
and recommendations for the
withdrawal of all foreign troops
from Korea.
The startling information that
more than 5000 American soldiers
have been shot down after their
surrender may cost Col. James NJ.
Hanley his job. There is a red
hot Army investigation going on
as to what prompted the Seattle
lawyer to reveal the figures.
But what he said hit the nail
right on the head.
The famed security that shroud-
ed early truce talks long has kept
yelled the fate of American pris-
oners of War-a key question IN
the final almistice, if one ever is
reached.
There probably will be a lot
more maneuvering at Panmun-
jom before the truce talks end
if they ever do end. Right now
it looks as if they might go on
forever.
terday morning the Army finally
received a copy of the colonel's
statement to the press via the
radio. 1t already had been pub
lished in full in the newspapers.
Gen. Ridgway's headquarters
refused to comment until the in
quiry is completed.
Enemy Casualties Increase.
The Army, meanwhile. eSti-
mated that enemy casualties
through November 6 were 1,457,-
466 an increase of 1882 in a six
day period. OF the total, it esti-
mated, the Chinese Communists
had suffered 765,268 casualties in
Korea.
Prisoners of war increased by
554 during the period to bring the
total to 1892. OF the total
20,l42 are Chinese Communists.
The estimate placed Red battle
casualties l,050.770 and non
battle casualties at 237,724.

ROTARIANS HAVE
 ATOMS FOR LUNCH

The electrical makeup of atoms was the subject of Rotarian Don Hendershot'S "For the Mind" pro- gram at Thursdays noon Rotary luncheon. As background ma terial for the emerging atomic age ROtarian Hendershot gave docu- mented and diagrammed brief outlines on how electronS circle the protons and neutronS in stable atoms. As the makeup of atoms become more complex as the ele- mentS advance from the simple structure of hydrogen to that of such atoms as uranium, the mass increases in direct proportion to the total of protons and neutrons. If this center of the atom is bom- barded by an outside neutron, a disturbance occurs that releases parts of the atoms and energy is built up as when energy is used to diSlodge a rock at the top of a cliff, and builds up a release of energy when the rock hurls itself down the cliff. At this point, somehow one of the charts turned out to be a pin-up beauty, and Rotarians were we'll into Buck Rogers Atomic Age.
 President Bill Cameron an- nounced the new Boy Scout Com mittee for the troop sponsored by Rotary here in Nome: chairman, Jim Mclean, Don Hurlbert, Lu- ther Dunbar, Sam Mogg, and Stan Erickson. Scoutmaster will be Pete Hahn, and Institutional Rep resentative will be Rotarian A. Polet.
 A new roadside sign with the Rotary emblem and the name of the town and clubs meeting place has been ordered. Rotarian Larry Calvin, who won the door prize, said he had spots before his eyes from watching at atoms. It could also be figures from the new Federal tax on all such earnings.
 Guest at Rotary was the Rev. Howard Laycock, Protestant Epis- copal Minister from Pt. Hope, an other of the Arctic sky pilots who flys his own plane.
