Angry Korean P0Ws
Spurn Reds, 221-6,
In Resumed Talks
BY the Assoeia.ed Press

PANM UNION, Nov. 16.-
Angry, bowling Koreans today
turned down, 221 to 6, Com
munist pleas to come home in
another stinging boomerang for
the Reds, who asked to interview
them after 10 days of stalling.
The Communists dragged
through the noisy interviews,
meeting only 227 of the All
Korean prisoners called to the
explanation area.
One of the six POWs who
chose Communism sat through
five hours of Red wheedling and
talk. United Nations observers
protested he was worn out and
confused and unable to make a
rational decision.
The Communist batting aver
age was close to their overall 8
per cent for some 2,400 prisoners
interviewed. The almost negli-
gible figure has been a jolt to
Red propaganda that all the
22,600 .balky POWs wanted to
come home.
Will See 500 Tomorrow.
The Reds were scheduled to
meet with 500 Chinese prisoners
tomorrow.
Some of the interviewers with
the Koreans lasted 212 hours.
They were relatively quiet until
late in the afternoon, when the
POWs began attacking the per-
suaderS as if on signal.
Almost simultaneously prison.
ers began to stand up and abuse
the Communist explainers, who
seemed unable to cope with the
outburStS.
The POWs threw shoes and
banners and tried to swing metal
chairs at the Reds. But Indian
guards. three and four strong in
each explanation tent, wrestled
them back to their seats.
The prisoners fought with
guards until Indian chairmen in
each tent ordered a cooling-off
period.
Explainers Plead and Shout.
The explainers pleaded, shout
ed, smiled and threatened.
The prisoners listened con-
temptuously. confidently, some
times shouted back-and then
chose South Korea.
Explanations have been held
only seven days since the orig
inally scheduled starting date
September 26. The period is due
to end December %.
The explanations resumed af-
ter the Communist command
turned a surprise fipflop yester-
day.
The Reds had insisted stub
bornly since November 5-the
last day explanations were held
-on interviewing the remainder
of a Chinese compound they
failed to finish that day. The
Chinese refused to come back
for a second try.
They suddenly dropped that
demand and asked for the North
Koreans.
The Communists called off
their scheduled hour-long loud
speaker broadcast to the POWs,
apparently so they could use all
the eight hours allotted to ex-
plantations in talking directly to
the POWs.

Nehru Fears Results
OF Rumored Deal for
u. ). Pakistan Bases
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW DELHI, India, Nov. 49,
Expressing "intense concern"
over reports. the United States
and Pakistan are negotiating a
military agreement, Prime Min
lister Nehru said yesterday that
such a pact would have very
far-reaching consequences"
Asked at a news conference
about rumorS the United States
is considering furnishing arms to
Pakistan in return for bases,
Nehru said, things seem to have
gone pretty far" He added he
was surprised "this major devel-
opment should take place in the
way it apparently is taking
place"
Nehru earlier had said India
would consider American mil
itary aid to Pakistan an un-
friendly act.
Reported Despite Denial.
Officials in Washington denied
last week that negotiations with
Pakistan were actually under
way. However, a spokesman for
the British Commonwealth Re-
talks "are known to be going on. !"
Nehru declared any military
tieup between the United States
and Pakistan would "have some
very far-reaching consequences
in the whole structure of things
in South Asia"
Pakistan, he said, 'can have
bases, foreign armies and any,
thing it likes. 1t is open to it to
give up it's independence if it
likes or limit it. but we are con-
cerned with the consequences of
