India Revives Appeal
For Big -Four TO Meet
And Settle Disputes
Rou Proposal Follows
AurioI's Suggestion
For Session of Chiefs
BY the Assoeicisd Press

PARIS. Nov. 14.-India today
called on the Big Four foreign
ministers to get together in a
supreme effort to ease the ten
|sions now frightening the world
The suggestion by Chief Indian
Delegate Sir Bengal Rau was
made to the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly after a series OF
similar appeals by spokesmen for
smaller countries.
Calling attention to the fact
that United States Secretary of
State Acheson. British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Y
Vishinsky and French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman are all
in Paris, Sir Bengal Rau asked
could they not meet and dis
cuss or rediscuss at least the most
outstanding matters of disagree
ment between them?"
Emboldened by Auriol Bid.
Sir Bengal said he was en-
boldened to repeat his plea, first
made last year, because of French
President Vincent Auriors sug-
gestion for a meeting of President
Truman, Prime Minister Churchill,
Prime Minister Stain and French
Premier Rene Pleven. Mr.. Aur-
iols proposal got a cool reception.
The less ambitious Indian ap-
peal for a lower level East West
meeting might be greeted with
more enthusiasm, but it was re-
called that the foreign ministers
deputies met for three months
last spring without being able to
arrange an agenda for their chiefs.
Denmark's Foreign Minister Ole
Bjoern Kraft made the most fer
vent and direct appeal from the
ranks of the smaller nations, ask
ing leaders of the Soviet Union to
grasp "the hand extended by the
West"
Speakers from Colombia, Uru-
quay and Paraguay pointed out
that small nations had to pay
the price Of world war, although
only the big powers had the
means to start one.
Mr.. Kraft told the assembly:
Perhaps it is of no Importance
what a small country says and
thinks, but the small states more
than any other feel the anxiety
and disquiet of the present day."
Western Leaders Absent.
Therefore, he said, he dared
to appeal" to the Kremlin to ac-
cept the disarmament proposals
submitted by the United States,
Britain and France as "an ade-
quate basis for work"
The diplomatic leaders of the
Atlantic pact-Secretary of State
Acheson, British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman-were
not in the Palais de Chaillot as
Mr.. Kraft spoke.
It was understood that they were
in their separate embassies work.

Atlantic Treaty conference in
Rome next week.
Before Mr.. Kraft made his ap-
peal, Gonzalo Restrepo Jaramillo
lof Colombia urged U. N. member
ship for Italy, Spain and "all
other countries which uphold the
principles of the United Nations
Charter"
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Sir
Mohammed Zafrullah Khan de-
llivered a slashing attack on what
he called "the assumed superiority
OF those who choose to describe
themselves as the white races, over
those whom they regard as the
non-white races"

Report Ransom Pleas
From Kin in Red China
Authorities Suspect
Communist Plot to
Bleed Sino-Americuns

Chinese residents Of Washing.
ton have received a number OF
ransom" pleas from relatives in
Red China, but most recipients
are reluctant to discuss them for
fear of reprisals.
George Moy, president of the On
Leong Merchants Association, is
advising the Chinese-Americans
to disregard the appeals, in the
belief that American dollars will
buy only temporary relief at best
and the extortion will continue.
Widespread reactions from Chi
nese colonies in San Francisco,
New York. Chicago. Boston and
Washington have convinced Unit
ed States authorities that a plot
has been organized in Communist
China on a political policy level
to bleed Chinese in this country
of millions of dollars.
Four Cases Reported.
Mr.. Moy said three or four spe-
cif1c cases had been reported to
him here. It is believed, however,
this represents only the individ-
uals who are convinced that they
cannot improve the lot of their
relatives by sending money.
The local letters reported fol-
lowed a ransom" pattern, Mr..
Moy said. Relatives wrote that
they would be locked up unless
they received various sums IN
American dollars. A few COM
plants have been received by the
Police Department and are under
investigation, it was learned.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California, has discussed the
matter with the Department of
State after investigating reports of
extortion letters being received by
West Coast residents. He said he
was informed the department
would make a complaint to the
United Nations if a certified list
of victims can be obtained.
Rusk Seeking Facts.

of State. said. eve are trying to

The Chinese Embassy here also
is compiling information such as
clippings from Chinese-language
newspapers in San Francisco,
New York and Hong Kong and
confidential reports from the in
terror of China of imprisonments
and suicides Of persons having
relatives in America.
The letters and cablegrams are
inter-family communications ano
not subject to examination by au.
thorities here or in foreign ports
like Hong Kong. About is million
communications pass between the
United States and Communist
China each week, it was said, anc

Iran Premier
Asks j. ). Loan
In Speech Here
Public Appeal Made
By Mossodeeh for
Help in Oil Crisis
By Gornett D. Horner

! Iranian Prime Minister Mossa-
degh made a public appeal today
for immediate financial aid" from
the United States to help start
Trans own oil production program.
The Iranian leader told a Ma
tional Press Club luncheon that
Iran can produce as much oil as
formerly was turned out by the
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
But he added that I'VE need
ia certain amount of immediate
financial aid to start our work"
His speech followed official ac-
acknowledgement of failure of Amer
lean mediation efforts SO far to
bring the Iranians and British to-
gether for settlement of their
stalemated oil dispute.
Compromise Sought.
Mr.. Mossadegh has been in
Washington since October %. en-
gagged in intensive conferences
with American officials seeking
some compromise of the deadlock
that has followed Iranian nation
alization of its oil industry once
operated by the British govern
ment-controlled company.
The Iranian premier said today
that 80 far no positive result has
been obtained" from this effort to
reach solution.
In view Of the stalemate with
the British. he said, he decided to
ask for a loan from the American
Government. But unfortunate
ly," the Premier added. mo result
has been obtained up to the pres
|ent."
Oil production in Iran has been
at a standstill since the Iranian
government expelled technicians
Iof the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
Says Iranians Competent.
"Our Iranian oil experts are
competent enough to produce the
same amount Of crude oil from the
wells as previously has been done
by the former company; and pro-
vided the marketing difficulties
are removed, we can expose for
sale large quantities of crude oil, /"
Mr.. Mossadegh asserted.
He also said that Iran can run
the big Abadan refinery ION a 30
per cent basis of its original yearly
capacity" with its own experts.
He said he is planning to employ
foreign technicians to help utilize
the refinery to it's full capacity.
I OF course you will agree with
me" he added, that we need suf-
ficient time to materialize the
said plans and furthermore you
will agree that we will need a.
certain amount of immediate A.
nancial aid to start our work"
Economic Crisis Grave.
He said he is asking for an
American loan to finance "the
preliminary steps which are
needed to give a new impetus to
our national economy"
He declared that Trans "eco-
nomic crisis at this moment is
so grave that no one can be sure
of the outcome unless urgent
remedies are found"
In a lengthy review Of the
Iranian dispute with Britain, Mr..
Mossadegh asserted that Iran had
suffered for years the worst type
of imperialistic pressure and op-
preston" He described the ma
tionalization of Trans oil resources
as "a manifestation of national
movement to gain political and
economic independence"
The State Department an
nounced late yesterday that while
progress has been made" in three
weeks of intensive talks with Mr..

challenge was ignored in a welter
of words that marked today's five
hour and 5 minute armistice Ses-
sion.
He said the challenge was made
by Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang,
member of the Reds tWo-man
subcommittee.
Gen Hsieh's challenge came dur
ing wrangle over whether a mill
tary demarcation line and buffer
zone shall be established now, as
the Reds insist, or whether the
question shall be postponed until
other armistice questions are set
tied.
The Allies refuse to agree for
mally to a line now, because they
say that would establish an i'm
mediate cease-flre. This, in turn,
they say, would take military pres
sure off the Reds and enable them
to stall on other armistice terms.

u. S. Prisoners Killed by Reds

Korean Civilians Are Massacred
9th Army Lawyer
Accuses Chinese
Of Burburism
BY the Assoeioted Press

neao OF the UnlteQ STATES 0Cn
Army's legal section today said
Reds have killed at least 5.790
United Nations soldier-prisoners-
about $500 of them Americans
and some 250,000 Korean civilians
in atrocities since the start of the
war.
Col. James M. Hanley of Seattle,
chief of the Army's Judge Advo-
cate section, said in a statement
that 200 captured United States
Marines were killed in a single day
last December 10-near Sin
hung in Northeast Korea.
Col. Hanley said the Marines
were killed on order of the COM
mander Of the 23d Regiment, 8lst
Chinese Division.
Turks Slain by Chinese.
He said II Turkish war pris-
oners were slain by Chinese Reds
May Is, 1851, near Yanggu and
IL others on April 10 near Yon-
chon.
Col. Hanley said the count of
military prisoners slain did not
include South Korean troops. He
gave no estimate of these, but
indicated the number was about
twice that of other U. N. soldiers
killed by Red captors.
Civilian men, women and chill
dren were slaughtered, Col. Han
ley said, without trial or even a
formal death sentence.
He said TOO civilians were driven
into the horizontal shaft of a
gold mine near Haeju, 80 miles
southeast of the North Korean
capital of Pyongyang, on Septem-
her 26, 1850, bound and gagged
and dropped down a vertical shaft.
They were left to die, he said
400 Buried Alive.
Four hundred more were given
the same treatment on October 9.
1850. Col. Hanley said. Three days
earlier. he said, still another 400
were bound. gagged and buried
alive in three big holes at Haeju
airport.
Col. Hanley accused the Reds
of making a sham of the Geneva
convention on treatment of pris-
oners of war. The United Nations,
he said, cared for the Reds it cap
tured ''in complete accordance
with the Geneva agreement.
Charges Barbarism.
"Nope of the Communist war
prisoners have been killed by u.s."
he added.
"The figures compiled by the
United Nations Command are
far from complete" Col. Hanley
said, "but show a record of killings
and barbarism unique even in
Communist China"
He said also that North Korean
and Chinese Red troops have
shown particular animosity toward
South Korean soldiers. and there
have been occasions when cap
tured South Koreans were mur-
dered but other U. n. troops taken
with them were spared.
Sayings by Nationality.
Col. Hanley broke down the
killings attributed to Chinese
since Nov. l. 1850, as follows:
Americans, 2,513; Turks. 40;
British, 10; Belgians, S; other UN.
troops, rs.
"This is in sharp conflict with
the Chinese claim of compliance
with the Geneva convention on
the treatment of war prisoners,
Col. Hanley said. The Chinese
Communist government did not
sign the Geneva convention.
Col. Hanley said release of
American prisoners by Chinese
Reds last winter was "an obvious
propaganda attempt to create a
favorable atmosphere for future
captures"
