Allies and Russians
Discuss Air Safety
AT Berlin Farley
By the Associofed Press

BERLIN, April 8.-Allied and
Russian representatives an
nounced today that four-power
takls on air safety over Germany
would continue soon in the
American sector of West Berlin.
The conferences, which began
at Soviet headquarters in the
East zone last night, marked the
first four-poWer get-together
since the 1949 post blockade pc
riod.
A four-power communique is
sued at daybreak said the Rus
slams had submitted "a series of
proposals concerning flights in
air corridors between Berlin and
West Germany, safety of flight
and prevention of air accidents. "
No details were given. They
probably will be discussed at the
next meeting. to be held at
United States headquarters. The
date is to be set later by mu-
tual agreement.
Chief Delegates at Farley.
The chief delegates attending
the conference last night were
Maj. Gen. Robert F. Tate, dep
uty chief of staff, United States
Air Force in Europe: British Air
Vice Marshall j. H. Edwardes-
Jones, French Gen. Edmond Jou-
baud and Soviet 1t. Gen. I. D..
Podgorny.
The talks are being held at a
Soviet invitation to discuss meth
DDS of avoiding such incidents as
the Russian jet fighter attack
which destroyed British bomb
er on the East-West German
frontier last month.
Talks Expanded.
The Russians had met twice
with the British on the general
air safety topic and then pro-
posed to expand the talks to all
four powers. Some political quar-
ters wondered if the Soviets, now
seemingly bent on cooperation
with the West, would make an
other move soon to extend the
four-power discussions to all
German questions.
The Russians fixed the time
and the place, their KarlshorSt
compound, for last nights open
ing session. The Americans and
the British, in sever, automobiles
arrived early. The French. in
fouT cars, showed up exactly on
time.
A Soviet officer greeted the ar
rivals and escorted them inside
the headquarters.

Some Dead GIs Used
As Propagandists by
Reds, Writer Says

Some American prisoners of
war from Korea, listed 4s dead
by the Communists, are alive
and being used for propaganda,
Zygmunt Nagorski, jr., editor of
the Foreign News Service, said
today.
| Other prisoners, who decline to
collaborate with the Reds, are
being used as slave labor, he
contended.
| A story by Mr.. Nagorski, en-
TITLED 'Unreported GIs in ST.
beria," appears in the May issue
of Esquire, out today. Mr.. Ma
gorski's news service gathers in
formation that seeps out from
behind the Iron Curtain and in
terprets it for It's readers.
900 Americans Involved.
Based on confidential reports,
Mr.. Nagorski said a grand total
of 900 Americans is involved in
the program of those sent to
Russia. But he added that only
a very few have broken down
and agreed to collaborate. The
great majority refused and are
still working as slave laborers
in the camps. he declared.
Mr.. Nagorski listed two def
mite examples of assignments
undertaken by the Americans as
collaborationiStS. One was in
Moscow. where a group of Amer
lean GIs was reported to have
lectured at schools for Red Army
officers on American warfare,
new weapons, propaganda, tao
tics, psychological warfare, etc.
The second was a visit to Poland,
from July Is to August 10 of last
year, and a later trip to Bucha-
rest and Sofia.
Delegates of peace" Group.
This group was described by
local organizers as delegates of
an American Prisoners of War
Peace Committee. Their task
was to convince the captive peo-
pie that the United States
started the Korean war, that
germ warfare was an American
invention and Russian stories
about it were thus verified, Mr..
Nagorski contended.
AS a test of Russian faith in
the pending prisoner of war
talks, Mr.. Nagorski suggests that
the Reds furnish a full account
and document it by testimony of
other Americans in the camps,
where death is claimed,

SEOUL, April 8.-Chinese Reds
slammed into allied defenses in
western and central Korea today,
but battle-toughened American
Marines and Belgian infantry
men sent the Communists reel
ing back.
B-26 bombers wiped out 13O
Red trucks on north Korean
highways during the night, while
fighter-bomberS blasted three rail
bridges and a radio station at
Haeju, in western Korea, the
Fifth Air Force said.
Chinese Reds in company

The Belgians. killed 81 Chinese

Oman Tells Farley
Coalition Of Reaction
Is Attacking Him

Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman Of Washington said to-
day there appeared to be a coal
ition Of reaction" between the
House Un-American Activities
Committee, the Rev. Carl Nc
1ntire, president of the American
Council of Christian Churches,
and radio broadcaster Fulton
Lewis, jr.
The bishop told members of
the Associated Church Press that
several days ago he requested an
informal meeting with Chair
man Velde of the committee, or
with the entire committee. He
said he has not yet received an
answer from Mr.. Velde.
However, he pointed out that
DR.. McIntire. apparently with
information leaked from the
committee, earlier today had
challenged him TO appear under
oath before the committee.
Bishop Oman said he had no
objection to testifying under
oath, but he did not want to ap-
pear at public hearing. He
asserted the press is unable to
convey the distinction between a
witness who testifies under sub
poena and one who appears vol
unfairly.
Bishop Oman also said he
would like to know how Mr.. Lew
Is and some other commentators
are SO quickly informed about
the doingS Of the committee.
He said he would demand equal
radio time from stations to an
swer those who criticize him in
the future.
Bishop Oman defended the
necessity of congressional inves-
legations into Subversion, but
said he disapproved of some of
the methods the committee used.
He said the committee file on
him was 80 per cent false. The
other 10 per cent, he said, needed
no apology.
The press group opened it's
three-day meeting at Baptist
headquarters here this morning.

6 o'clock tonight at Luther Place

and wounded. so the U. N. COM
mand would consider any
changes lin one package and
arrive speedily to the items
which are controversial. The
Communists have agreed to the
main points of Daniels plan,
and said they will submit their
versions of the rest.
The allied protest on the Com
muniSt offer was the stiffest
statement yet made in the three
day-old conference. 1t was the
first note of discord in the other
wise smooth negotiations which
Tuesday resulted in agreement
in principle to exchange dis
abled POWs.
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee
Sang Cho told Admiral Daniel:
1--WE have offered the figures OF
sick and injured prisoners of war
only after we have checked the
matter in detail. Accordingly,
cannot find any reason why the
figures are incredibly small"
Admiral Daniel told newsmen
the figure is controversial. 1T de-
pends on what category you put
them in," he said. I'm other
words, how sick is a man?"
Of the 600 ailing prisoners the
Communists offered to return,
$50 would be South Koreans.
The rest would be Americans,
British, French, or other U. N.
soldiers.
Reasons for Small Number.
U.N sources said possible rea-
sons for the relatively few pris-
oners the Reds will return in
clude:
l. The Communists are not as
liberal in defining sick and
wounded prisoners - a reason
suggested by Admiral Daniel.
2. The Reds may claim some
of the allied troops they hold
have embraced communism and
decline repatriation.
3. A final and more dismaying
explanation may be found in the
Reds policy of ''liberating" cap
tured soldiers at the front. The
Communists have captured many
more U. N. troops than they ad-
NIT. Some allied estimates place
the total at $1,000.
The talks Wednesday lasted
slightly more than an hour. The
talks resume Thursday at II
am. g pm. Wednesday, EST =.
