Program To Woo Back Anti-Reds 

PANMUNJOM, R-The cratic Communist program to woo back anti Red Chinese and Korean war prisoners floundered in un- certainty tonight after a Red dis pute with the Indian Command, which guards the 24,600 POWs.
 The Communists called off to- days scheduled interviews with 500 Koreans after the Indians re- fused to let them make loudspeak- CT broadcasts to the POWs await ing interviews.
 The JUN. Command said late in the afternoon it had been told of ficially the Reds would interview more Koreans Tuesday, but an Indian spokesman said later he believed the Reds would not hold the explanations.
 Although there were no inter views Monday, tension ran high in the neutral zone stockades after Indian guard troops shot down a charging Chinese prisoner and 21 Chinese and Koreans asked to go home in one of the largest single days switches to the Red fold.
 The prisoners was killed while the Indians were Investigating re ports of a murder of a POW in Chinese Compound 28 on Oct. 3. The Indian Command said the Chinese POWs had been warned not to rush toward the guards.

AFL Head Meany Rules Out Unity With John l.. Lewis

WASHINGTON, R- President George Meany of the AFL said to- day there is "a definite possibil- ity' of unity with the CIO but not with John L. Lewis because, Good Lord, he's the fellow who split the AF'L."
 He's the fellow who tried to split the CIO after he got tired of that" Meany said in a copy righted interview with the maga- zine US. News and World Re port. He's the fellow who came back to the AF'L in 1947 and tried to split it again.
 ''Of course, he says every once in a while that there can be no unity without the miners. That's baloney. We can. have a lot of unity without the miners. I'm not saying that the miners wouldn't be in. There won't be any de- cision made not to let them in.''
 As for the AFL CIO merger, Meany said 1t is a definite pos sibility but not probability. Without specifically mentioning Lewis, one of the founders of the CIO, Meany said that organiza- ton twas set up because there were several men in this country who felt that they needed a politi- cal arm among the workers of the nation"
 Meany was asked his opinion of the new Secretary of Labor, James P. Mitchell, and he replied:
 Eve known him for 20 years, and I think he's a very fine gen. tleman, a very fine fellow, and I think he'll be as good a Secretary of Labor as Brother Weeks (Sec- retary of Commerce) allows him to be There are definite in dications that Weeks considers himself part of the Labor Depart ment, at least as an overseer."

Pentagon May Call In Noted Surgeon To Analyze Red Torture Techniques

WASHINGTON, R-The Penta- gon may call in Dr. Charles w. Mayo, noted surgeon and United Nations delegate, to help analyze Communist techniques for wiring ing "confessions'' from captured American fighting men.
 This far-flung examination is directed at all aspects of one of the most involved and delicate problems to confront the Defense Department.
 It is an exploration of the cases of 10 American ex-prisoners who repudiated "confessions" they said were made to fend off starvation and brutality, as well as of the cases of five airmen who defied Communist pressure.
 One of the five airmen the Pen tagon said defied their tormentors was Capt. William M. Preston of Batavia, NY. He told of a Com munist interrogation camp nick named ''Pak's Palace," after the North Korean major who ran it. ''the most barbaric, evil, vicious man I have ever met"
 Preston said questioning some times lasted 20 hours day. He said he was beaten, cursed and spat at. He said many high rank ing Russians visited the camp and made no attempt to conceal their

l9 Unrepatriated Americans Afraid To Come Home

PANMUNJOM, R-A reliable source said tonight that only chains of fear are holding back 19 of the 22 American war prison CTS who have refused to return home.
 The other three, he said, are Communists who are dominating the other 19.
 The source, who declined use of his name, said the three Commun- ist Americans and their Red cap tors had drunmed terror of going home into the 19 by telling them they are now outside American law'' and can be executed as traitors.
 He painted a bleak, gray pie ture of the neutral zone camp where the 22 Americans are held with 1 Briton and 332 South Kor- eans-a handful of deceived, be- wildered and frightened men, afraid to remain behind but more fearful of going home because they believe home means death.
 The origin of the information cannot be revealed, but it was rated Every reliable" virtually no information has been made public on the camp.

Malik Says US. Atrocity Charge Part of Campaign

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., R- Russia's Jacob A. Malik declared Saturday that the new US. atroc- ity charges were part of a cam paign to step up war hysteria and thus justify increased expendi- lures for arms.
 Malik told the JUN. Assembly's Donation Political Committee that US. officials do not want a relax ation of world tension. He spoke after Dr. Charles w. Mayo, US. delegate, mentioned a statement made Friday by Maj. Gen. Will liam Dean, who said he had con- sidered suicide while a prisoner of war because he feared he might be forced to disclose secrets.
 ''Dean has been free for some time now," Malik said. ''Why did the press have to come up with that statement today and why did the American delegate have to bring it up? Because they don't want a relaxation of tension. They want to step up the cold war and war hysteria."
 Malik spoke as the Political Committee neared the end of it's debate on germ warfare. The Uni ted States already has asked the assembly to take up as a separate question the Army's report of Communist atrocities in Korea in which the US. charges almost 3O,O00 were killed, including more than 5000 Americans.
 Malik said he had read in the US. press that the whole story of the 'so-called atrocities in Korea was brought out to step up the arms race.'
 Mayo led off Fridays germ warfare debate by repeating US. charges that the Russians ran a torture center in Korea to wiring germ warfare confession" from captured American airmen.

nationality.
 T think they felt that none of the LIN. prisoners that were there would ever get back to our own country" Preston said.
 A man who refused to succumb to pressure while a prisoner of the Reds, Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, told his story in person Friday at a National Press Club luncheon in his honor.
 Dean, held captive for more than three years, disclosed that he once planned to commit suicide rather than give in to brutality and reveal military secrets he knew. But when his suicide plan failed, he said, the Communists treated him more leniently.
 The white-haired general said the Reds threatened to torture him into telling them Americas plans for the defense of Japan. He said he knew the plans and, fear ing he might "squeal" under ago. ny, decided to kill himself.
 He said he stole a burp gun from dozing guard, with the idea of arousing his chief interrogators, shooting them down and turning the gun on himself. But the. gun jammed and he was overpowered, he said.
