+ together with all persons in
the area who had been en-
ployes Of the Republic OF
Korea. Each unfortunate per-
son who was arrested was sub
sequently brought to the head
quarters located in the Catho-
lie mission for inquisition. and
those who survived were then
arcera tie d in the city
prison. This Jail consisted of
$50 cells, each of which was
packed with from 40 to 10 of
these victims. When it was
impossible to squeeze more
into these blocks, the overflow
was retained within the con-
fines of the mission. The mil
itary prisoners were not segre-
gated from the others.
Torment Made a Sport.
During the Imprisonment,
North Korean soldiers were
granted access to the hapless.
defenSeless individuals for the
sport of tormenting them and
confiscating any personal pos
session that might have been
overlooked. Favorite pasttimes
were the twisting of prisoners
fingers. kicking and beating of
them without provocation.
When the recapture of Tae-
jon by United Nations forces
appeared imminent in late
September. 1850. the occupying
conquerors determined that,
prior to withdrawal, they
would liquidate all these vic
tins.
Commencing September %,
1850. several groups, number
ing from 100 to 200 each, were
quietly removed from their
cells each night, their hands
tied behind their backs, and
each person bound to the
others. They were then trans
ported to previously selected
sites. placed in open trenches
or bitches dug expressly for
this purpose, and. summarily
shot. A check was made to To-
cate survivors. and where
found, their skulls were
crushed. The bodies were then
covered lightly with dirt.
Murder Speeded Up.
BY 26 September 1850, the
Security Police decided that
they must accelerate the rate
of murder if they were to ac-
complish their fiendish pur-
pose prior to departure. There
fore, they dug additional
trenches in the courtyard of
the police station and called
in a North Korean Army unit
to assist in completing their
bloody work. The able military
prisoners were led out in small
groups and promptly dis
patched. Those remaining, sew
eral wounded American SOL
diers, were carried out on lit
terS. unceremoniously dumped
into the trenches and shot or
beaten to death.

der-gorged aggresSors. the re-
naming South Koreans were
dragged from the prison into
the already filled trenches and
killed. At the same time, those
who had been retained in
the Catholic Mission interro-
CATION center were executed
as rapidly as possible. When
these trenches were filled with
bodies, others were slain in
the churchyard and basement,
and many bodies thrown down
the we'll until it was completely
stuffed. The perpetrators then
fed without burying their
latest victims.
Examination of the bodies
revealed that most of them
had been beaten and mutilated
before execution. OF these
thousands of unfortunates,
there were only six survivors:
three civilians, one Republic
of Korea Army soldier, and
two Americans. Thousands of
bodies were recovered by the
liberating United Nations
forces who occupied the city.
Those responsible for the hor-
ror of this crime must be
brought to judgment before
the tribunal of civilized peo-
pies.

Reds SmuggIe Planes
To Forbidden Bases,
R0K General Says
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Oct. 30.-The chief
of South Korea's Air Force said
today the Communists have spir-
tied 400 fighter planes into North
Korea in violation of the armi-
stice and based them at 80
newly-repaired airfields.
1t. Gen. Choi Yong Duk told
newsmen THE North Korean Air
Force now has two divisions of
MICS and another division of
propeller driven craft south of
the Manchurian border"
He said the Reds have another
1000 warplanes in Manchuria,
about two-thirds of them MICS.
Gen. Choi stopped here en-
route to the United States where
he will tour Air Force installa-
tions and confer with military
officials.
Truce Bans Build-up.
The Korean truce signed last
July 81 bans the movement of
planes into Korea except as re-
placements. The armistice does
not restrict the repair and con-
struction of airf1elds.
In the case of North Korea,
Gen. Choi said, incessant bomb
ingS during the war had made
Red airfieldS unusable and
Communist planes were based
north of the Yalu River bound
ary between North Korea and
Manchuria.
But as soon as the truce went
into effect the Reds quickly re-
paired 10 major airfields and
20 secondary landing strips and
spirited in the planes, Gen.
Choi said.
The U. N. command has COM
planned to the Neutral Nations
Supervisory Commission that
the Reds have shipped war
planes into North Korea in
violation of the truce.
No Report Filed.
An inspection team was in
structed to investigate the COM
plaint, but no final report has
been filed.

ported tracking on radar Com

Will Submit Statements.
An American spokesman said
the United States delegation will
submit more statements from
| tortured GIs when it takes the
floor in the debate which is to
resume today.
Mr.. Lodges swift reaction to
the atrocity report caught his
associates by surprise. American
experts went into an immediate
huddle to write an explanatory
memorandum telling the U. N,
why they thought the report
should be placed on the Assem-
bly'S agenda.
The next step is for Mrs. vi
jaya Lakshmi Pandit of India,
Assembly president, to call an
extraordinary meeting of the
Steering Committee to decide
whether to grant the request.
The Soviet battle to keep the
question out of the U. N. was
expected to begin in that COM

BY the Assoeioted Press

OKLAHOMA City, Oct. 80. -
Fear in the hearts of some teach
ers is causing the greatest crisis
in American education. publisher
Holding Carter of Greenville,
Miss, declared last night.
Addressing the opening session
of the Oklahoma Education AS
ISOLATION, the editor and publisher
or the Delta Times-Democrat
called the fear "the gravest do
mestic danger that faces the
United States"
A school board member, MIR.
Carter said he saw parents AL

he had attended teachers coll

He said teachers are so fright

after the armistice went into
effect.
Gen. Choi reported for the
first time that North Korean
air force headquarters once was
at Sinuiju near the Yalu River.
He said that since the armistice
it has been moved to Pyong-
yang, the North Korean capital.
Gen. Choi SIS, left Korea at
the age of II. in voluntary exile
because of the Japanese occu-
patton. He became a fighter
pilot in Chang Kai-chek's army.
later became a general in the
Chinese air force. During World

1851, checking on a National
Police report, a patrol from
the I'd ROK Division found
their bodies, together with
those of 10 Republic of Korea
army soldiers, four National
police. and one Korean civil
ian. These cofpSes were strip

Prisoners A Week.
Interrogation of native viii
layers indicated that these
Americans were captured
about January 80 and held
prisoners until their murder
on February 5, 1851.
Two North Korean lieu
tenants, discovered among
captured Communist prisoners,
have confessed to participa-
ton in this crime. Although
their statements were recorded
at different times and places,
the factual data is the same.
They relate that their COM
manding officer told them to
prepare to execute the pris-
oners secretly. For this pur-
pose. they decided to use
bayonets. Accordingly, the
graves were dug in advance,
then the victims were led
forth individually, stripped,
bound and ordered to sit on
the ground. In this position,
each man was used for
bayonet practice, and if death
came too slowly or resistance
was offered. his head was
smashed with a rifle butt.
Blood stains were swept from
the ground and the bodies
buried.
