Red Newsman SAYS
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea, April IT,
There are very few litter cases
among the sick and wounded
American and British prisoners

a Communist newsman said to-

Wilfred Burchett, correspond
ent for L'Humanite, French
Communist daily, said he un-

from shell fire or frost bite.

Burchett said he could not say
how many of the prisoners to
be exchanged had been captives

been recently wounded.

When the u N. command
broke off the talks last October,
nearly $4,000 of 1872. 900 prisoners
held by the Allies had said they
would resist repatriation.

Late last month Red China's
Premier Chou En-lai proposed
that a neutral state take charge
of all prisoners refusing imme-
diate repatriation while the
Communists explained matters
to them.
He made it clear, however. that
the Communists were not aban-
doning their demand that all
prisoners of war be returned.
He said the Reds expected all
of their captured soldiers even
tually would want to return
home.
Allied reconnaissance planes
have spotted the third Red con-
voy of prisoners SIS miles north
of Kaesong. It contains "a
vehicles.
In sharp contrast to the last
three days, no Red supply trucks
streamed southwark over the
route of prisoner conveys.
The letter, handed to Red staff
officers was from 1t. Gen. Will
liam K. Harrison, senior allied
armistice delegate. 1t was ad-
dressed to 1t. Gen. Nam II, SEN

Gen. Harrison did not say
what he meant by arrange

debate by the senior delegations
would center on Cd whether
Switzerland was acceptable to

Burma Gives Mass
Of Evidence 10 u. n.
On Guerrilla Charge
By The Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 17.-Burma laid a mass of
evidence before the United Ma
tions today to back up charges
that Nationalist China not only
controls 10000 guerrillas inside
Burma but is supplying them
with American arms.
Burma's chief delegate, Justice
Myint THEM, presented his case
in a 10.000-word speech before
the 60-nation Political Commit
tee and demanded that the gov
ernment of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek be condemned as ag-
gressors.
He hit hard at Nationalist
China'S claim that the guerrilla
forces were independently direc-
ted by Gen. Ii Mi and were not
under the control of the Taipeh
government. Justice Myint THEM
qoted statements from other
Nationalist officials contradict
ing this.
One of these was Patrick
Soong, charge d'affairs at the
Chinese Nationalist embassy in
,, Bangkok. He also said he had
similar statements from captured
Chinese officers.
Then, turning to the question
of supplies and arms, he said it
was obvious that the improve
ment in the type and amount
of equipment could have been
brought about only through the
aid of the NationaliSts.
The troops, which first entered
Burma in 1850, he said, were
armed mainly with Czechoslovak
and Italian weapons and had
only a sprinkling of American
made weapons.
He added that today, despite
the great increase in their num-
bers, the guerrillas ARE armed
almost exclusively with American
carbines supplemented with
light machine guns, heavy ma
chine guns, mortars and gren-
AIDES also of United States manu-
facture."

not want to go into how the Chi
nese forces could be increased
from 1,500 to 10000, but he de-

Planes would take of from

land from the opposite side and
