color and may be washed away
by the rain.
Then, 1t. Col. Lee Song Yang,
liaison officer of our side, said:
We may take some of the oil back
for analysis.
Col. Kinney then said: I'll take
all these questions into considera-
ton. I'll be back to have another
look after daybreak.
Then Col. Chang said: Your
duty Is to investigate. I am not
satisfied with your irresponsible
attitude.
Disagreement Noted.
Col. Kinney said: Let's resume
the investigation after daybreak.
Col. Chang then said: 1 don't
want to do that. Rain may wash
away some of the evidence.
Col. Kinney then said: Won't
be washed away.
1t. Col. Lee then said: How
about oil?
Col. Kinney: Oil won't mix with
water.
Col. Chang: AS far as we are
concerned we consider the in
vestigations care over). But you
are welcome to make another in
vestigation if you think it neces-
sary, provided you contact us by
telephone before then.
This was the final exchange of
conversation between the two
sides. and it is also the full record
of the discussions on the question
of reinvestigation after daybreak.
I am ready to confront Col. Kin
ney on the accuracy of this record
of the conversation. I think that
to express facts is the latest that
can be expected of an honest
soldier.
We have just quoted from the
statement of Col. Chang, the liai-
son officer of our side.
Ridgway Reply Cited.
In his reply yesterday Ridgway
declined to make a direct answer
to the various questions and evil
dence (raisedD by Gems. Kim II
Sung and Peng Teh-huai. He has
stubbornly refused to order the
liaison officers to come
to Kaesong to make a thorough
investigation into the incident of
the bombing of the area near the
residence of our delegation by an
American plane.
He deliberately justified the
fact that on August 23rd our side
did not refuse to make a thor
ough investigation in daylight
after the investigation by the
liaison officers of both sides. And
he endeavored to frame lies again
with the statement, we quote from
the statement, "On the night of
August 22nd your liaison officer
Chang repeatedly refused to dis
cuss with my liaison officer to
continue the investigation during
daylight and to leave all related
evidence in place"
Rejection Is Denied.
AS far as our 1iasion officer re-
jecting the request of the Ameri-
can liaison officer for reinvesti-
cation is a lie that has already
been exploded, as all the world
knows. The fact is that after the
bombing Of the neutral zone by
the American aircraft on the
night of the 22d the American
liaison officers at first refused to
come to Kaesong to investigate
on the pretext that it was late at
night, and then when they finally
came to the bombed area they
considered the evidence Of the
bombing by the American aircraft
as nothing worth looking at, that
it was not easy to conduct the in
vestigation in the dark and that
we must wait til daylight.
Our liaison officer replied
that further investigation was
as the existing evi-
dence was in itself conclusive.
Our side did not turn down the
reinvestigation by the American
side for the next morning, but
only that they make contact by
wireless beforehand.
Report Released.
However, the American liaison
officers did not come back to re-
during the daytime on
23d. but instead imme-
