the inevitable hardships of all
who fall into the hands of
armies lacking food and un-

mentary rules OF. hygiene, but
the masS-murder stories from
behind the Red front were con-
sidered exaggerated.
We still don't know precisely
how many American captives
have been killed. The actual
number is beside the point. The
fact is that Gen. Ridgway has
affirmed that these outrages
have actually occurred. And
that is the important factor in
so far as the American people
are concerned.
The negotiations for a cease
fire in Korea have shown the
turbulence and bad faith of the
Communists. But even under
such conditions the American
people by and large would have
welcomed a cease-fire which
might have put an end-even
temporarily-to a military cam
paign which has cost us 100000
casualties.
But now. after the murder in
cold blood of a number of
prisoners of war has been re-
vealed, there is little likelihood
that the people of this country
will indorSe any kind of agree
ment which does not include the
Immediate liberation of all the
military personnel in Communist
hands. The fate of captured
soldiers was never happy one.
But In the past their plight was
less harsh because they could
receive mail and food parcels
from home through the Red
Cross. This is, not possible in
the present war. When on top
OF this disregard of international
conventions is added the knowl-
edge that the enemy is proceed

It is good news for the Nation,

to introduce a bit of modera-

Mossadegh Prepares
To Go Home CIaimino
Double Triumph
BY the Associoied Press

Prime Minister Mossadegh, pre-
pairing to return to Iran, claimed
today a double triumph for his
six-Week mission to the United
States.
Speaking for his ailing 72-year-
old chief. Vice Premier Hossein
Fatemi told reporter that the
first success" was blocking direct
United Nations intervention in the
oil dispute with Britain. The
second, he said, was convincing
the American people" of the JUS
tice of Iranian naturalization OF
the oil industry.
Assistant Secretary of State,
George McGhee said on tele-
vision program last night that
there appears to be little hope"
at this time of bridging the gap
between Britain and Iran in the
oil dispute.
Final Plea for Loan Today.
Mr.. Mossadegh was expected to
make a final plea today for sub
stantial American loan to tide his
near-bankrupt country over the
crisis. He scheduled a farewll
news conference at the Iranian
Embassy. He plans to leave by
plane tomorrow for Cairo, en-
route home.
Mr.. Mossadegh received a prom
ise from President Truman yeSter-
day that careful consideration"
would be given his request for a
substantial loan. Officials con-
sidered it unlikely, however. that
any American aid which might
be extended would approach the
$12O million total Mr.. Mossadegh
has been reported seeking.
Truman Answers Letter.
Mr.. Truman's promise was in
q reply to letter Mr.. Mossadegh
sent this week at the conclusion
of the vain American effort to
find new basis for resumption
of oil negotiations between Iran
and Britain. Presidential Press

Constantine Brown:
Buffer Zone Is |nconseQuentioI
U. S. Public Demands Immediate Liberation of POWs
As Paramount Condition for Ceose-Fre in Korea

Under the impact of Col.
James M. Hanley's charges that
some SO per cent of the Amer
lcan prisoners of war in the
hands of the Reds have been
massacred, it is difficult to con-
ceive how the U. N. truce nego-
tiators can agree to a cease-fire
without a definite agreement on
the immediate release of all
Allied prisoners.
The buffer zone between the
fighting armies, the question of
Kaesong and other such nat
terS have become inconsequen-
tlal in so far as the American
people are concerned.
The Pentagon and the su-
preme headquarters in Tokyo
are questioning only the exacti-
tude OF the figures presented
by Col. Hanley. They also
question the wisdom of the
colonelS release of these figures
to the public. Col. Hanley may
be disciplined for not clearing
his statement with the highest
authorities, but Gen. Ridgway
himself has now confirmed the
statements authenticity. Hence
the question of the immediate
liberation of prisoners has be-
come, in so far as the people at
home are concerned, the para
mount condition for a truce.
regardless of how the military
or diplomats feel.
The Pentagon not always has
been strictly candid about the
casualties in Korea. For in
stance. during the investigation
of Gen. Douglas Macarthur
dismissal by the joint Senate
Armed Services and Foreign Re-
lations Committees, Gen. Brad
ley had to admit something that
was not known to the general
public: That losses had been
heavier than officially an
nounced by the Pentagon. be-
cause non-combatant casualties
Evening star., 1951-11-17

had not been included in the
weekly lists.
This admission by the chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
came under the prodding of
Senator Styles Bridges who had
discovered accidentally the real
facts when the Surgeon General
OF the Army presented requests
in the Senate Appropriation
Committee for larger sums for
beds and disqualification facili-
ties than the original estimates.
Gen. Bradley explained correct
ly that many of these non-com-
bat casualties were not actual
losses since they included serv-
icemen who had been slightly
wounded in automobile acci-
dents or had suffered colds. But
he conceded that in those fig
ures, which had not been made
public, were included GIs who
had frozen limbs and could
never be used in the armed serv-
ices again.
Stories of Red atrocities
against prisoners of war and the
South Korean civilian popu-
lation had been rumored for
some time both in Washington
and in Korea. President Rhee
is reported to have intended to
disclose them last summer while
the cease-fire negotiations were
being discussed. He was per-
suaded to keep quiet because
such disclosures would have
rocked the ship of peace. In any
event, he realized that if he
talked out of turn he would not
be supported by the U. N. high
command and would be labelled
as a warmonger who for selfish
interests wished to prevent a
ceaSe-fire agreement.
Our military people and the
diplomats believed that the
number of massacred soldiers
was small and attributed these
crimes to the "fervor" of the
Reds at the front lines. It was
generally believed that once the
prisoners were removed to the
rear they were relatively secure.
