POW Book Denounces
Intervention in Korea i,
Red Broadcasts Say
By John A. Giles

Communist propaganda broad
casts declare American and Brit
ish war prisoners have compiled
a book denouncing United Nations
Intervention in Korea.
A broadcast from Pyongyang,
Korea. allegedly by an American
Marine corporal, told of the book.
It was monitored here but the
monitored text deleted his name.
A later broadcast quoted two
airmen as having made statements
critical of U. N. policies. But they
did not do voice broadcasts.
Top Pentagon officials were in
clined today to believe that the
broadcast was under duress.
Impossible to Get Truth.
We'll never know what the
prisoners Of war in enemy hands
really believe or what they really
have said in propaganda broad
casts until they return" a top
ranking general explained. "The
Reds will go to any conceivable
length to get out such propaganda,
and 1t is impossible to get at the
truth Of the beliefs of the men
now."
After reading the POW's book,
said the alleged Marine broad
caster, II can clearly see the un-
usefulness Of this war on the
part of the United States.
why is the United States med
ding with che Korean people,
who are fighting for the uniflca-
ton and independence of their
country? The so-called police ac-
ton is completely wrong. So
the U. N. Army should stop this
war as soon as possible
This war is a civil war
among the Koreans. We had one
in the United States in the past,
and we should surely resent it if
Others had meddled in our af-
fairs"

can people to voice your opin-
ions louder to get the United
States troops withdrawn from
Korea and to settle this war as

ly to permit Allied artillery to shell
the Chinese.

why the United States alone was

Korea, which was attacked by the
North Koreans on June Is, 1850
1t referred only to the Korean
(Communist) Peoples Army.
It also referred to alleged use

IF the people want me for
President, they will know where
to find me-" he said.
But he added that II have said
before and I say now that I do
not plan to make any campaign.
Will Resign If Nominated.
The general will retire to civil
ian life when he returns. but will
remain a f1ve-star general under
a rule which gives a. life career to
generals Of the Army. AS long as
he holds the rank, Army tradition
calls for him to remain as aloof
as possible from political parti-
sanship.
He said he will resign his gen.
erals commission if he is nomi-
mated so that he can speak with
out such hindrance.
Gen. Eisenhower said that his
only plans for a public speech be-
fore the nominating convention is
an address at his boyhood town
of Abilene. Kans.. at the dedica-
tion June 4 of museum to which
he has given his war relics.

You wish to do as a private and,
we hope, an important American
citizen"
Earlier, Gen. Eisenhower had
declined to be drawn into any
discussion of some of the views
of Senator Taft. Republican, OF
Ohio. his chief rival for the

Reporters had sought the gen.
erals thoughts on Senator Taft's
statement that .he proposed ST.
