building a foundation in getting
back to normal.

For one thing, Japan has

of the islands, especially the
Amami, ever since the peace
treaty was signed. A policy NOV

have been interpreted by the

The United States today ruled
out the possibility of any United
Nations trusteeship over the
great island base of Okinawa or
other islands in the Ryukyu and
BONN groups south of Japan.
This was disclosed in a state
ment made in Tokyo by Secre-
tary of State Dulles as he an
nounced plans to return one
section of the Ryukyu chain
the Amami Islands-to japanese
administration.
The significance of one para
graph in the Dulles statement
was UNDERSIGNED by State De-
partment officials here.
Peace Treaty Terms Recalled.
These officials recalled that
the japanese peace treaty signed
almost two years ago specified
that the United States would
have full power of administra-
ton over all the Ryukyu and
BONN Islands, taken away from
Japan at the end of World War
II, pending establishment of any
U. N. trusteeship arrangements
This Government was not
firmly committed to making such
arrangements. but United States
policy was developing in that
direction at that time.
In today's statement Secre-
tary Dulles said that with re-
gard to the Ryukyu and BONN
Islands, except for the Amami
group being returned to Japan,
1T will be necessary during the
present international tensions in
the Far East for the United
States to maintain the degree
of control and authority now
exercised"
THE United States" the state
ment said, will thus be able to
carry out more effectively its
responsibilities under the security
treaty between the United States
and Japan to contribute to the
maintenance of peace and secur-
ity in Japan.
Meanwhile, the United States
will make increased efforts to
promote the welfare of the in
habitants of these islands"

Some Allied P0Ws
May Be Held Back,
Chinese Reds Hint
Peipine Suggests U. N.
Is Holding Out 1000
Of Their Soldiers
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 8.-Peiping ra-
dio limited yesterday that not all
the 1878 allied prisoners the
Reds said they held would be re-
turned to the United Nations.
The propaganda broadcast,
monitored in Tokyo. quoted a
review of the question of pris-
oner of war repatriation" printed
in the Peoples Daily. official
newspaper of the Chinese Com
munist Party.
Seven days after the signing
of the Korean armistice, July q,
the broadcast made a belated re-
view of Red prisoner of war fig
ures given by the allies two
months ago. 1t suggested that the
United Nations command was
holding out 1000 Red prisoners.
It said the U. N. command can
not evade" the responsibility to
account clearly for this dis
crepancy."
May Be Holding Some.
In Washington, Gen. Mark w.
Clark, U. N commander in the
Far East. said Friday the Reds
may be holding back as many as
5000 Allied prisoners.
The Peiping broadcast said the
Reds had informed the U. N.
command July % that the total
number of prisoners in their
custody was more than 10000"
This number is not divided
into those for direct repatriation
and those not for direct repatria-
ton because the (North) Korean
and Chinese side never has car
ried out such measures as the So
called screening of prisoners, "
People Daily said.
Jail Terms Reported.
The broadcast took on added
significance because returning
allied prisoners reported some of
their comrades had been given
Jail terms by the Reds for in
stigating against peace" and
others said a handful of allied
prisoners had elected to remain
with the Communists.
The broadcast asserted the
agreement of POW repatriation
has been made known to all the
prisoners in Korean and Chinese
custody, and if any prisoners DO
not wish to be directly repatri-
ated, the Korean and Chinese
side will inform the other side of
the number as soon as possible. :"
