Aug. 11.-An American from
Bayonne, N. j., said after re-
lease from the Communists to-

eyes" Red soldiers bayonet
stragglers in a column of cap

while with the I'd Division. He
was marched to the camp with
a group of 500 men. Only 259

"On the march up" he said,
"they bayoneted a lot. I saw
that with my own eyes. A guy
would fall out and a guard
would drop back and you'd hear
the guy scream.
"A couple of times was at

oners of war.
If the Americans reported
jailed are not returned, he added,
the U.N. command will not re-
turn to the Reds prisoners it
holds who have been convicted
of crimes while in custody.

retaliatory measures at a press
conference in Denver, where he
stopped off yesterday on his way
to Washington to report on his
Korean trip to President Eisen-
hover.
Mr.. Dulles told reporters here
he did not know how many Red
prisoners in U.N. hands have
been convicted of crimes. Tie
said the information about the
Americans W h ON the Com
munists are reported to plan to
keep in jail is very meager.
1--WE don't know yet whether
they will be returned" he said.
1--WE have some on our side too.
We would not return those until
we see whether the Communists
return our men,"
Other Stories Recalled.
Reminded of stories told by
returning American prisoners of
death marches and other afro
cities suffered at the hands of
the Communists, Mr.. Dulles was
asked If their evidence would be
put before the U.N. He replied
that he doesn't know yet that it

"They were suffering so much

Although the retirement sys-

The government said the move

Reds Huge Increase
In Secret Fund Seen
Clue 10 Bomb Work

Analysis of the Soviet,S new
budget figures has led American
experts to the ominous con-
clusion that the Russians have
set aside nearly 40 billion rubles
more than ever before for atomic
and hydrogen development this
year.
The analysis indicates an ac-
tual increase Of at least Is per
cent in Soviet military expendi-
lures for 1858, instead Of a slight
decrease shown on the face Of
the budget made public in Mos
COW last week.
This development, coupled
with the generally belligerent
tone of Soviet Premier Georgi
Malenkov's speech before q joint
session of the Supreme Soviet
Saturday, was said here to
knock the wind out of recent
talk of a Soviet peace often
sive."
No Sign Of Relaxing.
American officia1s whose busi-
ness it is to keep informed about
Soviet affairs said there is moth
ing in the Malenkov speech or
other recent developments in
Moscow to indicate that the So
Wet was expecting any relaxa-
ton of world tensions.
On the other hand. they said
a tremendous increase in secret
part of the Soviet budget made
it clear the Russians are doing
something they have not been
doing before in the secret
weapons field.
The best guess is that this is
for hydrogen bomb development.
OfficialS refuse to say, however,
whether this Government has
any information aside from the
budget analysis to indicate the
truth or falsity to Premier Ma
lenkov's claim Saturday that the
Soviet has mastered production
of that secret weapon. The big
increase in the Soviet budget
assumed to cover H-bomb de-
velopment comes in a Jump from
43.5. billion rubles last year to
1877 billion rubles for 1853 in an
unexplained portion Of the
budget.
Increase Since 1916.
American officials arrive at the
1877 billion ruble figure for secret
Soviet expenditures by subtract
ing from the total announced
budget of 530.5 billion rubles the
sum OF amounts listed for Spe-
cif1c purposes, like defense, ma
tional economy and social and
cultural services.
This unexplained portion of
the Soviet budget increased
gradually, with some ups and
downs, from 35.8 billion rubles
in 1916 to the 43.5 figure for
1852. The near-doubling Of the
secret fund this year appeared
to have no explanation other
than Malenkov's assertion that
Russia now can produce H
bombs.
officials said that aside from
developments in this field, the
secret fund is assumed to cover
expenses for some MVD activi-
ties, military stockpiling and
some electronic weapons devel--
oplnent. - -.
The 40 billionsruble increase is.
impossible to translate into an
accurate dollar value, officials
said. But at the official Moscow
exchange rate of four rubleS to
the dollar IL would amount to
$40 billion.
OF the 40 billion ruble increase
in the secret fund, the officials
estimated that at least 30-odd
billion was for military purposes.
