JUN Insists
 Reds CuriaiI Air Power
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN

MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 1-tR- The United Nations Command to- day disclosed anxiety over mounting Communist air power in Korea. It insisted in the Panmunjom truce talks that construction or repair of air bases in North Korea be banned during an armistice.
 The Reds promptly accused the United Nations of trying ito deprive our side forever of the right to de- fend ourselves"
 The air base issue was raised during stormy Saturday session in which Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, chief UN negotiator, underscored in forceful language the Allied posi- tion that there be no military buildup and that joint observation teams be given free access to all Korea to police the truce.
 North Korean It. Gen. Nam T insisted it was necessary" to strengthen air bases.
 ". cannot but point out that the real objective of your proposal of allowing no increase of so-called military facilities is merely to de- prive our side forever of the right to defend ourselves" he said.
 Brig Gen. William P. Nuckols said the purpose of Joys statement opening Saturdays session was to make the Allied position on enforce ment of the armistice crystal clear"
 Nuckols emphasized, however, that the statement was mot consid- cred an ultimatum."

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON i


 " ASHINGTON - Meeting with the joint chiefs of staff in Wash ington last month, General Eisen- hover indicated that the great est danger of war was possible attack on Yugoslavia by Soviet satellites next spring.
 If this happens, U. s. defense planners have figured the Red armies are almost certain to strike through the Ljubljana Gap in northern Yugoslavia, then rush down the Dalmatian coast to Sov- ietized Albania This not only would cut off most allied supplies sent to the aid of Yugoslavia, but would put Moscow within a few minutes bombing distance of Rome and the Vatican.
 Thus the entire Adriatic sea- coast of Italy from Venice to Brind- isl, would face a Red waterfront, and the Italian population, one- third Communist, inevitably would be subject to sabotage, upheaval and eventual revolution.
 These were some of the factors had in mind in urging Marshal Tito to cut red tape and release Archbishop Stepinac right away. For this now famous churchman had become not only a football of politics but symbol of perse- cution, which was seriously hurting relations between our two countries.
 Actually I knew. from having spent two years in Yugoslavia di- recting Quaker relief work after World War I, also from my visit there last winter, that there is lit tie religious discrimination in Yugo- slavia. have served on the same hospital board with Moslems, Or thodox and Catholics, seen them work together and live together. Probably there is more tolerance there than here.
