Korean Truce DELAY
Expected; Swiss May
Reconsider Role
Situation Complicated
By Rhee's Release
Of $4,000 POWs
BY the Assoeiased Press

MUNSAN, June 18.-The draft
Of a Korean truce apparently
was completed today but its fate
might turn on President Syng-
man Rhee's open defiance of his
allies in arbitrarily releasing 25,-
900 anti-Red prisoners of war.
Mr.. Rhee's order opening the
gates of four POW camps in this
mornings darkness was in direct
opposition to the armistice
terms.
Even as the prisoners scat
tered, it appeared that all details
of an armistice agreement had
been wrapped up and the final
text was being rushed to COM
pletion.
But Swiss Foreign Minister
Max Petitpierre said in Berne
the release of anti-C Communist
prisoners might force Switzer-
land to reconsider her decision
to serve on neutral commissions
to supervise the truce.
Only last week the Swiss gov
ernment reversed an earlier
stand and said it would serve
on the armiStice and prisoner
commissions even though South
Korea objected to the truce
terms.
Mr.. Petitpierre told the upper
house of the Swiss Parliament
the release of anti Communist
North Korean prisoners of war
by South Korean officials "con-
siderably changes the situation"
Mr.. Petitpierre said Switzer-
land had agreed to serve on the
understanding that all war pris-
onerS in South Korea were under
complete control Of, the U. N.
command.
Preparations for exchanging
thousands of war prisoners were
rushed by both sides. United
Nations officials Speculated on
whether Mr.. Rhee's action might
delay the return of some $4,000
U. N. prisoners held by the Reds.
Official U. N. sources in Tokyo
said they did not expect Mr..
Rhee's move to wreck the
armistice, but a delay was antici-
pated. The Reds might demand
delivery Of the escaped prisoners
before signing q truce.

Ex-FBI Counterspy Charges
Witness Says He Heard Pittsburgh Man
Boast of His Selection as Assassin

ack-haired man Of 42, was
called to the stand, but refused
to deny or confirm the charge.
He based his refusal on grounds
that his answers might tend to
incriminate him.
The sensational testimony was
given by Joseph D. Mazzei, "a, a
Pittsburgh theater manager, be-
fore the Senate Investigations
subcommittee. Mr.. Mazzei said
he was an FBI undercover agent
from 1941 until March 26, 1853,
after he had testified against
Steve Nelson and other Commu-
mist leaders in their trial for
conspiracy. .
Mccarthy Listens Quietly.
Senator Mccarthy heads the
subcommittee. but Senator
Mundt, Republican, of South
Dakota presided while Senator
Mccarthy sat quietly by listen
ing to the testimony.
Mr.. Mazzei related a dramatic
story of a secret Communist
meeting in Pittsburgh at which
he said that Bortz announced
that he had received the assign
ment to kill Senator Mccarthy
and that he was very gratified
and pleased with the assign
ment.'
The witness testified that the
meeting was held in a Pittsburgh
building occupied by the Civil
Rights Congress and that Bortz
presided. He identified Bortz as
a Communist leader who gave in
struction in the use of firearms
and bomb-making.
Mr.. MaZzei said after the US
ual Communist meeting lasting
about an hour and a half, Bortz
remarked that he had a very i'm
portant announcement to make.
"Liquidation" Meant Murder.
Mr.. Mazzei continued:
He said, he was selected by
the Communist Party to carry
out the liquidation of Senator
Joseph Mccarthy. He was very
gratif1ed and pleased that he had
the assignment and said that
when the time came, he would
do the job"
Questioned by subcommittee
members about what was meant
by liquidation" the witness
said bluntly:
"The liquidation he meant
was the killing Of Senator Nc
Carthy."
Mr.. Mazzei said the discussion
continued as he and Bortz left
the meeting place and that Bortz
said:
"I1l kill that -"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
Of Arkansas asked Mr.. Mazzei if
he could explain why Bortz
would announce at a meeting
that he had been assigned the
job Of liquidating Senator Nc
Carthy.
II just don't know" Mr..
Mazzei replied, adding that Bortz
was the leader Of the meeting
and said he was pleased to have
the assignment.
Mr.. Mazzei testified that as
far as he knew. no time or place
was set for the assassination. He
added that he informed the FBI
Of the plot on the following day.
The witness was asked what
would have been the source of
the assignment for the killing
of Senator Mccarthy; who has
been leading fight on commu-
nism in this country for several
years.

Action on Prisoners;
President Sends Note
Dulles Calls Release
Violation of Korea
Agreement With U. N.
By Joseph A. Fox

The American Government to-
day denounced the action of
South Korea in releasing thou
sands of North Korean anti
Communists from prison camps.
At the same time President Eisen-
hover dispatched a message to
President Syngman Rhee of
South Korea informing him of
the United States position.
A statement issued to newsmen
by Secretary of State Dulles said:
II have been in conference
with the President regarding the
unilateral action taken by the
Republic of Korea to release pre-
maturely North Korean prison.

This action was in violation
Of the authority Of the United
Nations command to which the
Republic of Korea had agreed.

"On behalf of the United Ma
tions we have conducted our
negotiations for an armiStice in
good faith and we have acted

in this sense"
Secretary Dulles issued the
statement after the National
Security Council, the top STRAIT
egg planning board, had met and
discussed the release of the pris-
oners, which has thrown an OBJ
stacle in the way of the armistice
negotiations.
The Secretary said the matter
was discussed before the council
met and then was taken up with
the full council. He refused to
amplify his announcement.

Senators Dirksen and Magnuson

What the impact of his order
releasing the prisoners will actu-
ally be was a question which had
officials at all levels of the Gov
ernment gravely concerned.
The dangers arise because the
truce terms stipulate that the
commands on each side shall see
that they are carried out. Mr..
Rhee's action conceivably could
provide the basis for a Red claim
that the United Nations Com
mand is now unable to carry out
the truce agreement so far as
the released prisoners are con-
cerned.

TOKYO, Friday, June 19.-
Defiant South Korea freed $4,000
anti-Red Korean prisoners yes
terday on orders of President
Syngman Rhee without regard
for the peril it placed on an i'm
pending truce.
Early today 1,50O more anti
Red Koreans tried to make a
mass escape from yet another
prison camp near Scouts port
city of Inchon and clashed with
United States soldiers and Ma
rines. First unofficial reports

1t was the fifth camp involved

The fight broke out after the

More than 100 Germans were
