False Charge of Embargo To Force Acceptance of Truce on South Korea

PHILADELPHIA, R-A charge that the Republic of Korea had been threatened with a United Nations economic embargo to force acceptance Of the proposed truce terms, cast it's shadow all the way to Panmunjom today de- spite speedy diplomatic denials.
 The charge was made yesterday by South Korea's ambassador to the US, Dr. You Chan Yang, during a press conference follow ing the dedication of a blood donor center here.
 The 56-year-old physician-am- bassador said certain U.N of ficials" had made an oral threat that the LIN. might force the US. to cut off economic and military aid to South Korea if that coun- try refused to join in the truce expected at any moment.
 That statement brought a quick, bristling reaction from U. s. circles. A State Department spokesman commented:
 Any implication that the United States uses famine and hu- man suffering for political pur- poses is false, and those who make such statements know that it is false"
 pr. Yang specifically denied that he meant any threat had been made by the US.
