theory to predict heavy rain

cur in this part of the world 80
days after the earth passes

Mr.. Casey said the new theory

theory. He said, however, that
DR.. Bowen still has a lot of work
to do before his theory can be
applied.

Red ENJOYS AssaiI
Decision Ending
POW Interviews
BY the Associated Press

PANIUNJOM. Dec. 26-The
two Communist members of the
Korean Repatriation Commits
sion have accused the other
three members of a "very serious
violation" of international
agreements" in ending efforts to
win prisoners home. the official
Peiping Radio said today.
The charge was in statement
issued by the Czech and Polish
members which was broadcast
by the Chinese Red radio.
The Red delegates were
angered by the majority decision
of India, Sweden and Switzer-,
land to end the 90-day explana-
ton period at midnight last
Wednesday.
Call Ruling Arbitrary.
The Czechs and Poles termed
the decision IAN arbitrary inter-
pretation" of the armistice
agreement.
The Communists have insisted
that there should be 80 days of
actual explanations. They had
talked with anti-Red Chinese
and North Koreans only nine
days during the period which
began in September, and accused
the allies of obstructing the ex-
plantations.
The Repatriation Commission's IS
ruling agreed with the United
Nations Command position-that
the truce agreement set a 90
day period available for inter-
views rather than specifying 80
days of actual interviews.
The Czech and Polish state
ment said:
mot only the entire spirit of
the terms of reference (prisoner
agreemenD but their explicit
provisions grant both sides the
right to conduct explanations for
the whole period of 80 days.
"The decision by the majority
amounts to a very serious
violation of the terms of refer
ence of the Korean armistice
agreement.
THE Czechoslovak and Polish
delegations are strongly oppos-
ing such violation of internation-
al agreements and can never
agree to an arbitrary interpre-
tation as if explanations to the
prisoners of war had been
carried out. :"
More Explanations Sought.
The Reds asked the commits
sion again for more explanations,
Peiping said. However, there
was no indication the commits
sion would change it's stand.
Of about $4,000 anti-Red
Chinese and North Koreans who
refused to return to their Com
munist homelands, the Reds in
terviewed 1924 and won back
127.
The U. N. Command inter-
viewed $50 South Koreans of the
unrepatriated 359 former allied
soldiers, but none returned. They
did not interview any of the %
Americans or one Briton turned
over. One American came back
to the u. N. side before the in

and the Briton celebrated Christ
mas yesterday in their camp in

coming home.
