The British Commemorative
major Moslem member. Pakistan,
has recognized Egypts Moslem
King Farouk as King of the dis
puted Sudan. but says it's just a
courtesy" without political sig
nificance.
No other commonwealth coun-
try has extended such recogni-

yesterday.
Pakistan still believes, it's For
eign Minister Sir Mohammed
Zafrullah Kahn said. that the
Egyptians and the Sudanese must
freely" settle the question of
their political relationship.
This position will not be af-
fected in any way by recognition
of his majesty's new title" he
added.
The Sudan, which Egypt claims
and Britain now controls, has
been hotly contested since the
Egyptian Parliament discarded a
treaty providing joint Anglo
Egyptian rule of the upper Nile
region last October and pro-
claimed Farouk it's King.
Other MoSlem nations which
have recognized Farouk's claim
include Syria. Lebanon, Jordan,
Iraq. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran,

Work and-P|ay Plans
For Koje Prisoners
BY the Associated Press

KOJE ISLAND. Korea, June
16.-The United States 9th Army
plans an extensive work-and-play
program for Communist prisoners
of war on Kojce once the POWs
recognize Allied authority COM
pletely.
Brig. Gen. Hayden L. Boatner,
Koje commander, hopes to start
the program soon after he finishes
splitting the present large, unruly
compounds into small units.
The dispersal operations prob
ably will be completed within a
week.
Gen. Boatner planned to break
up Compounds 602 and 603 to-
morrow. Compound 602 holds
about $500 Chinese captives and
SOB about 5000 North Koreans.
No resistance was expected.
Alexander Visits Stockades.
Thus far Gen. Boatner has. split
up six compounds housing $4,000
prisoners. There were II occupied
compounds on Koje before the
splitups began.

Spected the POW stockades today.
He toured the island in a jeep
driven by Gen. Boatner, accom-

Fleet, 9th Army commander, and
a party Of leading military and
diplomatic figures.
The group drove through the
ruins of Compound rs where more

.U.N. TaxesKorea Reds
With Responsibility
For 'ProfiAess War

MUNSAN, Korea, June 16.-The
senior United Nations truce nego-
tiator today charged the Com
munists with responsibility for Red
prisoner of war riots and for con-
tinuing "a bloody and profitless
war"
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
accused the Red delegates at a
fruitless 22-minute session of di-
recting 'your captured personnel
at Koje Island to endanger their
lives to further your nefarious
schemes"
Hundreds of captured Reds have
been killed or wounded on Koje
in Communicated riots.
The key issue blocking a truce
is the U. N. stand that no prisoner
be forcibly repatriated. Only 10000
of 10000 captured Reds have ex-
pressed willingness to return to
Red rule.
Choice Put Up to Enemy.
Gen. Harrison said refusal of
the Reds to accept this stand was
incomprehensible. He added:
you must realize that you are
choosing between an honorable
armistice and the continuation of
a bloody and profitless conflict"
North Korean Gen. Nam II re-
piled in stiffened tones. He ac-
cused the U. N. of "incessant
atrocities" and Strengthening" OF
war prisoners. It was the first
time in five days he had repeated
these charges.
Nam brushed aside Gen. Harri-
sons suggestion that q recess bt
held to give the Reds time to re.
consider your untenable decision.
Nam said he wanted to meet AGAR
tomorrow. Gen Harrison agreed tt
meet at II AM. g PM. Monday
EST.
Failure to Mark. Camps Charged

to expand athletic and other rec
|reational facilities inside COM
pounds. Sports equipment has
been ordered.
Eighth Army officers stress that
there will be no relaxation of the
new firm policy in handling
'POWs.
The basic policy governing
operation of Koje prison camps
is strict adherence to the Geneva
convention.
OF Koe's present POW popu-
lation of 10000, some 10000 will
be moved soon to other islands
off South Korea.
Education Program Dropped.
Remaining POWs will be set to
work building roads, drainage
bitches. fences and camp build
ingS. -...
Camp officials refused to say
whether prisoners would be paid
for such work, as they were in
World War H..
No such work projects have
existed on Koje in its Is months
as a prisoner island.
There will be no effort to re-
introduce the education program
that was abandoned last April
because of prisoner indifference.
Camp officials say that any effort
to start it up again would mot be
appropriate now"
Sports Program Ambitious.
Perhaps the most ambitious part
OF the new, long-range program
will be the athletic side.
1t is planned to expand facilities
and provide equipment for track
meets. soccer, volley ball and other
sports allowing for mass partici-
patton.
4 1t is also expected that recrea-
tional facilities will include stages
in each compound for plays,
musical entertainment. dance per-
formances and singing. Prior to
the current breakup of the large
compounds, there was a stage in
each compound.

Washington, D. {
MONDAY. JUNE is, 1882


HAEUNDE. Korea, June 10
Mighty explosions in the biggest
United States Army ammunition
dump in Korea today killed a
Korean, injured an American Of
f1cer and seven enlisted men, and
left four American soldiers miss
ing.
South Korean police said they
suspected sabotage by guerrillas
The first blast-cause unknown
went off at 1880 am. $3.50
pm. Sunday, EST. It broke win
dows and knocked down plaster
IN buildings in Pusan, 10 miles
south.
Two other huge explosions fol-
lowed within Is minutes.
Fires mushroomed in the area.
Gray clouds of phosphorus
smoke rose into the sky. Rockets
shot wildly about. Exploding
flares touched up the scene with
bright colors. Some shells and
flares flew 2 miles. Grass fires
named up in the dry hills ringing
the area.
Refugees Clog Roads.
Small explosions popped of
now and then. A fourth big blast
shook the area at 4:25 pm. OPS
am. Monday, EST and sent upI
an umbrella of black smoke.
The blast area is about half a
mile square.
Some 10000 residents of Haze
unde-thelr thatched-roof houses
on f1re-and nearby villages took
on for safer areas. Most of them
clogged the roads to Pusan.
Supply officers said the big
blasts took place in a section for
Salvaged ammunition, not useable
at the front.
In Pusan Gen. James A. Van
Fleet. 9th Army commander said
the lost material was only part
OF the Army's stocks. But he said
he would have preferred the shells
exploded at the battlefront.
American soldiers in tanks
edged into the still flaming outer
reaches OF the blast area late in
the afternoon to survey the prob
ability of additional explosions.
Staying of q. S. Guard Recalled.
A mid-atternoon wind swung
flames away from untouched area
of the dump, giving hope that
further destruction could be
halted.
The survey teams entered in
tanks as protection against bull
let's and rockets still screaming
out Of the area. The risk made it
impossible for. firefghters to gol
close, although all available
equipment from Pusan and near
by towns was on hand. Firemen
stayed at least a mile away.
The fire was gradually dying
