Reds Claim -Four P0Ws
Have Died From Gas
BY the Asseciofed Press

TOKYO. Aug. 24.-The Com
munist Peiping radio said today
that four North Korean soldiers
released by the United Nations
Command have died of gas
poisoning by the American side. /"
The Red China radio noted
that the allies have denied using
toxic gas. but said "the death of
the four returnees has given a
lie to the American statement. Z"
Col. L. c. Friedersdorff, spokes-
man for the U. N. side of the
POW Repatriation Committee,
earlier had categorically denied
Red charges of brutality" in
Guiding the accusation of using
toxic gas.
Our side" the colonel told
the Communist members of the
committee on August 19 "had
used only the minimum forces
required to maintain order and
prevent riots only because
the prisoners of war failed to
conduct themselves as disciplined
soldiers has the use of force and
non-toxic irritants (tear gas and
vomiting gaS) been necessary"
The Peiping broadcast, heard
IN Tokyo, said altogether 2l
OF these poisoned POWs have
oeen handed over, four of whom
have died since"

CrunewaId Ordered
To Stand Trial on
Contempt Charges
BY the Assoeieisd Press

Overriding protests that Henry
Grunewald was too III to stand
trial. Judge Alexander Holtzoff
today ordered the celebrated
Washington wirepuller to trial
on 81 charges Of contempt Of
Congress.
Judge Holtzof acted after re-
ceiving a report from a court
appointed heart specialist that
Grunewald-referred to as THE
Dutchman" in a series Of con-
gressional hearings-was physi-
cally able to stand trial.
Actual start Of the trial in
u. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia awaited the
completion of another case be-
fore Judge Holtzoff.
Moved For Delay.
Grunewald's physician, DR..
John j. Curry. said in a state
ment filed with the court yester-
day that Grunewald was suffer-
ing from a heart ailment and
extreme nervousness.
This statement was made the
basis Of a motion by Defense
Attorney william H. Collins for
a delay in the trial.
DR.. Bernard j. Walsh. a court
appointed heart specialist. re-
ported to the court through As
sistant United States Attorney
William Hitz. DR.. Walsh filed
no written report and did not
appear in court.
DR.. Curry had told the court it
would be ''fraught with consid-
cradle risk" If the trial were to
be held now. He said Grune-
valid recently suffered a nervous
breakdown and was in danger of
a heart attack.
Rebuffed 3 Attempts.
Three separate attempts by a
House subcommittee to question
Grunewald about income tax
fraud cases and to inspect his
records yielded virtually nothing.
His refusal to answer questions
has been described by Mr.. Hitz
as probably the most contemp-

Distribution of the King James
version of the New Testament in
Rutherford schools by the Gideon
Bible Society has been upheld by
a Superior Court judge.
/. a suit seeking to halt distribu-
ton of the Bibles, which are
commonly accepted by Protes-
tants, was brought by a Jewish
parent whose daughter attends
an elementary school. A Catho-
lie parent also had been a party
to the suit. but dropped out when
his child was transferred to a
parochial school.
Judge j. Wallace Leyden yes
terday ruled in favor of the dis
tribution of the Bibles, although
he said it may be "a bad policy"
He said he based his decision on
the fact that the Bible distribu-
ton does not constitute IAN IL
legal or unconstitutional inter-
ference with religious liberty"
The Gideon Society. known
for the Bibles it places in hotel
rooms, has formulated national
program for distributing Bibles
in schools.
Several witnesses testified yes
