New Red Notes Reject
Three u. n. DeniaIs Of
Kaesong Violations
By the Associated Press


munist notes joined the mass of
wasted words that left peace in
Korea as remote as ever today.
Sharp fighting flashed again on
the explosive western front while
the Kaesong armistice talks re-
manned suspended for the 18th
straight day.
The new Red notes rejected the
latest Allied denialS of RESPONSE
bility for neutrality zone violations
at Kaesong. Korea. There was no
Red answer to Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway'S inSiStence on selection
of a new truce site.
Red China'S Peiping radio
broadcast the two new messages
from North Korean 1t. Gen. Nam
II, senior Red delegate. to Vice
Admiral c. Turner Joy, top U. N.
negotiator.
Three DenialS Rejected.
Both notes rejected Admiral
joys three denials Tuesday of
Red charges as completely un-
satisfactory"
One note brushed aside Ad-
miral joys insistence that no
Allied plane dropped flare inside
the KaeSong neutral zone the
night of August %.
Your sides grave responsibility
for these incidents can by no
means be turned aside by your
message which disregardS the
facts and denies everything, VI
Gen. Nam said.
Moreover, your side must also
accept the heavy responsibility
for the fact that from August 29I
up to the present your military
aircraft have persisted in un-
Scrupufous and incesSant pene-
trations over the KaeSong neutral
zone"
Gen. Nam'S second note rejected
Admiral joys denial of Red
charges that South Korean troops
killed Red military police in the
neutral zone August 19 and
August 80.
Gen. Nam said today:
mo denialS of facts can free
your side from the serious reS0on- /
sibility that you must bear for
these two incidents. Our side has
adequate witnesses and material
evidence to confirm the ineScap-
able responsibility of your side.
Notes Declared. Withheld.
Both Gen. Ridgway and Admi-
raj Joy repeatedly have told the
Reds that thorough Investigations
diSprove the charges.
Peiping radio also hashed over
another allegation-that the U. N.
command has not published the
full texts of Red statements on
the alleged Kaesong incidents.
Gen. RidgYay's public informa-
ton Office said its records show
that every communication of the
Reds has been released.
Responsible Allied sources still
had no indication what site might
be suggested by the U. N. COM
mand for resumption of the talks |
broken off by the Reds August %.
Today an unofficial" release
from Gen. Ridgway's headquarters
said "KaeSong has gone from bad
to worse to incredible as a con-
ference site"
1t insisted: "Just one way re-
mains for the armistice confer
ence to get back on the track of
common sense and real accom-
plishment.
This is to move the whole con-
ference, now completely blocked
by Communist passion for lies and
fraudulent accusations, out OF
kaeSong. -.
Reds Enjoy Kaesong Advantages.
Red control of Kaesong is the
real basis of power the enemy ex-
erts through garbled charges.
The Communists enjoy certain
advantages: They can exploit
framed-up incidents in the So
called neutral zone at will; they
are able to be first on the scene
when examining and arranging
evidence: they can refuse U. N
command investigation at will;
and they can blame partisanI
(guerrilla) activity of the U. N
command. This situation is in
tolerable."
The North Korean Reds Pyong-
yang radio last night blamed the
U. N. command for neutrality
violations but quoted the North
Korean Central News Agency, Off
cial Red organ:
I'VE Koreans have always de-
sired peace and will strive toI
make the Kaesong truce talks a.
success"
