Communists Say
By the A.seeiosed Pres.

Communists said today at least
20 Americans, l Briton and more
than 800 Koreans refused re-
patriation in the big Korean
prisoner exchange. They are
scheduled to be turned over

troops.
A Red correspondent, Wilfred

camp at Kaesong.

luctant POWs will be held 80
days in the demilitarized zone
while interviewers try to per-
suade them to change their
minds about going home.
First Nationality Listing.
Answering a U.N. command
request of captives they claimed
refused repatriation, the Reds
reported to a joint Secretariat
session of the Military Armistice
Commission that more than 300
are Koreans; over 20 are nom
Koreans. of which all are Amer
lean except one British"
Although in round numbers.
this report by Ju Yon, North
Korean representative, was the
most detailed breakdown of un-
repatriated allied POWs the
Reds so far have provided.
Americans returned in the ex-
change have. told of fellow POWs
who elected to stay behind.
Tells Of Dog Mascot.
Burchett said the Americans
at Kaesong had a dog mascot

Communists say refused repatri-
alton would just begin to ac-
count for more than 900 Ameri-
cans and $500 other allied SOL

demanded of the Reds.
The allies yesterday rejected
as totally unsatisfactory and
unacceptable a Communist pre-

Mass u. 5. Job Cuts
Are Apparently Over,
Officials Here Report

The District office Of the
United States Employment Serv-
ice predicts that large-scale
Government job reductions "are
apparently over"
In issuing its monthly labor
market report yesterday, the
USES forecast an end to whole
sale Federal f1rings. Some agen-
cies may even have to hire new
workers to take care of the va
cancies caused by normal per-
Sonnel turnover, the USES de-
clared.
Figures for August show that
there was a reduction of $500
Government jobs here. There
were decreases of 1900 in con-
struction employment and an
other 1900 in retail trade.
Unemployment here rose by
1000 during August to a total
of $4,000, the report said. Total

less than the number working

Partially offSetting the de-
cline in employment in Govern
ment and several industries dur
ing August were increases in
other activities. Railroads in

mobile dealers and garages, 100;
filling stations, 100, and f1nan-
clal institutions. 100. Also 200
more workers were hired by the
printing industry and another
100 by food manufacturers.
Regarding Federal employ
ment, USES officials base their
optimistic outlook on the fact
that most agencies have already
cut their stats to comply with
their 1854 operating funds and
are down to the number of en-
ployes they will have for the re-
mainder Of the fiscal year which
ends next June 80.

Former Hitler Aide
Ruled Out Of Election
By the Associated Press

DUSSELDORF, ermany y
Aug. 24.-Dr. Werner Naumann
controversial candidate of the ex-
treme rightwing German Reich
Party. was classified by the state
interior minister here today as
a Nazi offender and ousted from
the September 6 parliamentary
election campaign.
In campaign speeches, Nau-
mann has compared Hitler with
Napoleon and praised Nazism for
saving West Europe from COM
munism.
The minister's ruling stripped
Naumann, once one of Hitler's
top propagandists, of his voting
rights and thus made him in
eligible as a candidate.
The ruling came two days aft
er the British High Commission
in Bonn repealed two old laws
under which the British had re-
tanned denazification powers in
their zone, to give Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's government
a last-minute chance to act
against Naumann.
Only last night Naumann de-
clared West German authorities
would be unable to throw him
out of the campaign He based
this on an Adenauer proclama-
ton of amnesty for persons hid
ing under aliases.
Naumann said he had used a
false name from the end OF
World War II to 1850, in the
period covered, and then resumed
his right name. He said he pos
sessed denazification papers made
out in his right name.

The Government today, in a

indictment lodged against Owen

In asking the U. S. Court OF

Judge Youngdahl's decision in
U. S. District Court of the Dis

ist "gratuitously and enormously

ground of the charges against

This, the brief charged, had
no place in proceedings relating
merely to the suff1ciency of the
indictment.

ber s on the remaining charges
Called Prejudicial.
."Manifestly such matters
should not have been considered

Judge Youngdahl, in dismiss

had noted that the Tydings
Committee had cleared Latti-
more of pro-communism charges
and that the McCarran Com
mittee apparently could find no
