WASHINGTON, (P)-A Recon Structon Finance Corporation of ficial testified Saturday the RFC's usual reviewing procedure was completely by-passed for a $645,- 900 loan granted a St. Louis print ing firm in 1949.
 Ernest B. Howard, REC employe for 19 years and chief of it's buSi- ness loans branch in 1949, ap- peared before the Senate InveSti- gating subcommittee probing three REC loans totaling $645,OO0 to the American Lithofold Corp, of St. Louis. The big government lending agency had turned down the firms first three loan applica- tions before it reversed itself.
 The subcommittee has received sworn testimony that Democratic National Chairman William M. Boyle, Jr., helped promote the REC loans. Boyle has denied the charge.
 Howard, in his testimony, con- firmed one portion of testimony by James E. Toole, former Litho- fold treasurer whose thick h1ack diary has been a key document in the investigation. Toole said he learned from Howard that the $645,000 loan, the second made to the St. Louis firm, was processed up there" in the high REC eche- Ions without going through usual channels.

Associoted Press Foreign Correspondent

TOKYO, Dec. 14.-The Commu-
nists must give in to Allied condi-
tions on an exchange of prisoners
of war or accept the responsibility
for complete breakdown of the
Korean armistice talks.
This unwavering position Of the
United Nations high command was
learned today by the Associated
Press. 1t is solidly based on the
commands loyalty to and anxiety
for those Allied soldiers now in
enemy hands.
Even as this stand became
known, censorship eased off and
permitted the Associated Press to
give for the first time since the
Korean war began some back
ground on how American soldiers
are faring in Communist camps.
Some Are Badly Treated.
Some are having a bitter time
of it. Others are comparatively
we'll treated.
The Allied command has COM
promised on other armistice issues
But on this one point-now under
strained discussion at Panmun-
JOINT will remain inflexible.
Before it makes any decision on
Point Four of the armistice agenda
prisoner exchanged will insist
that the enemy provide a list OF
the names and nationalities OF
United Nations prisoners and the
location of the camps where each
is held captive.
The Reds have airily called this
technical detail" Such infor-
nation can be supplied, they said
after the United Nations agrees
to the cool Red proposal that the
Allies first agree to exchange al
Communists in Allied camps fol-
all Allied soldiers in Red camps
About 1000 Are Missing.
Approximately 1000 United
States soldiers areSmissing in ac-
ton An unknown number Of
thousands of these are in enemy
hands. But the Allies hold an
estimated 165, 900 Red prisoners.
Should the U. N. high COM
mand agree now to an "all-for-
all" exchange. it would be break
ing faith with Allied soldiers cap
tured by the enemy. That is the
current Allied viewpoint.
This is why:
At this stage of the game, the
u. N. does not know how many
Allied prisoners are Communist
captives, who they are or where
they are held. If the U. N. agreed
to an "all-for-all" exchange with
out first getting such information.
1t would permit the Reds to offer
10, 20 or 100 Allied prisoners in
Exchange for the 165,000-od
Communist prisoners.
And there would be no re-
course. The Allies might never
known how many more remained
in distant labor camps or were
callously "lost" by the Reds.
Enemy Disregards Rules.
While the Allies have consist
entity adhered to provisions of the
international Red Cross Commit
Itee and supplied the names and
Locations of the 10000 Red pris-
oners, the enemy has refused to
abide by the, Geneva Conven-
tionS.
In the whole war, the Reds
have supplied the names of only
ITO United Nations captives. OF

If Talks Fail Over Prisoners

these. lot were infantrymen and
the other three were airmen.
What sort of lives are American
boys leading in prisoner camps
behind enemy lines? AS far as
available information goes, care
fully pieced together from various
informed sources. which cannot
be identified, here is what is
known:
/. In some Communist camps,
American prisoners are made to
work very hard. In others. cap
tives are assigned no jobs.
2. Food in some of the camps
is adequate. In the remainder,
it is extremely poor.
Used for Propaganda.
8. Some American prisoners in
Communist hands are well treated.
These are the men the Commu-
nists feel they can use for their
own purposes-such as propa-
ganda broadcasts.
4. Other prisoners are not so
fortunate. They are badly treated.
S. Nothing is known OF the
morale of American prisoners OF
the Communists.
In some cases. letters from
Allied captives have been allowed
to filter through Red Cross chan
Inels to relatives in the free world.
But no Red Cross food packages
ever have reached the United
Nations soldiers in Communist
camps.
DR.. Paul Ruegger Of Geneva,
president of the International
Committee, after much haggling,
was allowed entry to China. But
he was baked in Peiping. DR..
IRuegger was not allowed to tour
China. He saw no prison camps
and got nowhere with his argu-
ments. After brief stay IN
Peiping, he flew home.
In contrast, two Red Cross neu-
trials have full-tlme Joo, touring
and inspecting prisoner of war
compounds in Allied territory.
They have consistently rated con-
lditions excellent.
For such grim reasons the
Allied truce negotiators are ap-
preaching Point Four of the
armistice agenda with absolute
Ifirmness. They realize the well
fare of thousands of American
and other United Nations SOL
diers is at stake.
1t is too early to say the armis-
tice negotiations might founder
on this point. But it is not too
early to say this is one on which
the Communists will have to re-
Icede from their present position.
