yards away.
Col. Kinney said the U. N. com.
mand had been given no indica'

"The fact that is crucially i'm.
Iportant to this investigation" the
Air Force officer told the Reds
is the fact that only your per.
Isonnel knew your delegation hat
moved their residence.
"Since there is no other target
in the vicinity of military signif1-
canoe, and since the delegation
residence is the only target, Who
ever made the attack knew of the
location Of your delegates resi-
dence.
I'VE. did not know of it,"
Plane Said to Be B-26.
The pooled dispatch said Col
Chang told Col. Kinney the plane
that bombed Kaesong was ar
American B-26. B-26s, light
bombers, have been used in mis-
sions over North Korea since the
early part of the war.
I'VE think this way" Col Chang
said. "We believe it is very clear
that your aircraft intruded and
bombed the vicinity of the resi-
Dental quarters of our senior dele
gate.
Il am amazed at the havoc your
side has wrought. I believe your
viewpoint is unsupported by fact
For the grave violation Of the
Kaesong neutral zone, I am in

our side to lodge a strong protest
However, I reserve the right to
make any further demands. We
intend to retain and preserve the
evidence of the two bombings
(those reported August % and this
morning.. You can come any
time for. additional investigation. "

zone early today.
2. That the person in control
of the airplane apparently knew
the location of the residence in
Kaesong occupied by the chief Red
truce delegate, Gen. Nam II.
8. That there was no evidence
to show the plane involved was an
aircraft under U. N. control.
Earlier. Col. Kinney told Col.
Chang and Chinese 1t. Col. Tsao
Chon-won that American radar
teams had reported an airplane
over what the Reds called the
bombing site" at exactly the
time given in their complaints.
Today's investigation came after
the U. N. high command twice re-
fused to send official probers back
into Kaesong to reopen the inves-
tigation of the alleged August %
incident.
It was the first. time U. N. per-
sonnet had entered Kaesong since
Reds broke off the talks early in
the morning of August %.
For the first time since truce
talks began in Kaesong July 10

Warren White, Reuters cor
respondent. said Col. Kinney and
Col. Chang engaged in a heated
word exchange during the inves-
tigation of the two holes in the
ground which the Reds said were
made by bombs dropped by an
Allied plane.
Mr.. White said Col. Kinney
looked at one hole and told Col.
Chang: There are two ways to
make such a hole as this. One
way is to plant a bomb in the
earth and then detonate it. The
other is to drop it from an air.
