Arthur Dean tomorrow will Of
fer the Communists a new for
mula for setting up a Korean
peace conference. Today he
voiced confidence I'VE are going
to work something out"
Mr.. Deans optimistic predic-
tion followed the third session
of preliminary talks to Dian a
Korean political conference.
There was no noticeable progress
at the 2 hour and 40 minute
meeting.
The Communist delegate in
sisted in a 2,500-word statement
that Russia be seated at the
peace conference as neutral.
Says Russia Should Attend.
Mr.. Dean said he replied that
Russia logically should attend
the CONFERENCE.-THE sit with
Red China and North Korea -
since Communist armies in Ko-
rea were equipped with planes,
tanks, guns and munitions sent
from the Soviet Union"
THE Soviet Union has openly
supported your side by word and
deed" Mr.. Dean declared. "The
USSR has thus played a direct
role in the Korean hostilities."
The United States envoy, who
represents the U. NJ, also re-
iterated that he had no authority
under the United Nations reso-
luton approving the preliminary
talks to negotiate on compost
ton of the top-level conference.
North Korean Delegate Ki Sok
Box branded the U. N. resolution
as completely illegal"
Dean Is Confident.
MI. Dean is authorized only to
set a time and place, and after
the meeting he was outwardly
confident of eventual agreement.
81 still think these are only
preliminary skirmishes and there
is still a possibility we are going
to work something out of these
preliminary talks" he told news
men.
1T seems to me I can detect
an attitude of interest on their
part and that they really want
to come to some conclusion on
this matter"

Repatriation Group
Reports ; Sayings
In Korea POW Camp
BY the Associated Press


PANMUNJOM, Oct. 28.-The
chairman of the Korean Repatri-
alton Commission said todav
three Korean and Chinese pris-
oners have been slain by fellow
POWs in a camp for anti-Com-
munistS in Korea's neutral zone.
Fifteen other prisoners have
died-10 Of natural causes, it
was announced. Three were shot
to death by Indian guards dur
ing demonstrations. one appar-
emily committed suicide and an
other died of starvation, the re-
port said.
Nine of the 18 dead were Ko-
reans. The other nine were Chi
neSe.
TOrtures Changed.
The Communists have charged
bitterly in propaganda broad
casts and in letters to Indian
custodial troops that South Ko-
rean and Chinese Nationalist
agents in the camp tortured and
murdered prisoners who wanted
to return home. The Reds de-
manded that the murderers be
found and punished.
1t. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, In
dian chairman of the Neutral
Nations Repatriation Commits
sion. said the Indians had not
discovered the persons who COM
mitted the three murders. He
would not speculate on whether
the men had been killed or tor
tured because they were Commu-
niStS.
I'VE can't find out why any of
the captives were killed." he
said.
Gen. Thimayya said one pris-
oner had his upper legs crushed,
another was near starvation be-
fore his death, and one had
been badly beaten and his body
thrown out of the compound by
fellow prisoners.
Deadlocked in Using Force.
The Indian general reported
the murders after a meeting of
the Neutral Nations Repatria-
ton Commission, which is dead
locked over whether to use force
to make reluctant North Korean
prisoners attend interviews with
Communist representatives.
Gen. Thimayya said the dis
pute on explanations was not
discussed. Instead, the Swiss,
Swedes, Czechs, Poles and In
dianS on the commission dis
cussed methods of investigating
the prisoner slayings.
Gen. Thimayya said state
ment on the deadlock over use
of force to get prisoners to
attend explanations will be de-
layed for several days.

No Cuts Are Planned
For Combat Forces

President Eisenhower said to-

The statement was made at
the Presidents news conference
in response to a question about
the possibility that the develop
ment of nuclear weapons might
mean a cut in armed force per-

Air Force Increases.
Gen. Eisenhower said that the
new weapons, of course, would
bring changes. But he stressed
that there are no plans for cuts.
He added that, on the contrary,
some increases will be made in
the Air Force next year.
The President thus joined a
parade Of American officials
seeking to speed French ratifica-
ton of the European Defense
Community with assurances that
the United States is not planning
now to reduce its armed forces
in Europe.
Such assurances came from
Secretary of State Dulles and
Secretary of Defense Wilson in
separate news conferences yes
terday.
They spoke up to quell what
Mr.. Dulles called "quite a spate
of rumorS" to the effect that
this Government was contem-
plating pulling some of its troops
out of Western Europe.
These reports. arising from
Mr.. Wilson's talk last week about
such reductions being possible
