Peiping Radio Claims
Confession Of U. 5.
Colonel as Ga Aide
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Dec. 8.--Red China
yesterday broadcast a long state
ment by jailed American Air
Force Col. John Knox Arnold
and said it made it clear" he
was the commanding officer of
o spy-dropping squadron.
The statement. broadcast by
Peiping Radio and monitored
here. closely parallels the evi-
dence it claimed was given by
Col. Arnold at the Nov. % trial,
when he was jailed for 10 years
and 10 other airmen were SEN
fenced to terms of four to eight
years on spy charges.
It was the latest move by the
Communists in citing evidence"
against the airmer which has
poured from Peiping Radio al.
most daily since the trial.
In broadcasting the statement,
Peiping made no mention Of the
American protest which was
handed to the United Nations
yesterday. At the same time. the
Communists broadcast what
they called eyewitness ,ac-.
counts" of the capture of the
airmen January 13, 1853.
Bomber Was Shot Down.
Col. Arnold, whose home ad-
dress is 8709 Sundale drive, Sill
yer Spring, Md, piloted a B-29
four-engine bomber which, the
Air Force says, was shot down
over North Korea during a
bombing mission. The Chinese
claimed the bomber was over
Manchuria when 1t was shot
down.
"A statement made by John
Knox Arnold. jr.. made it, clear
that the United States 581st Air
Supply and Communications
Wing is special operations wing
exclusively serving the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA)," the
broadcast said.
1.-THE statement. written and
signed by Arnold, is now on dis
play in the exhibition of the
equipment found on the con-
victed United States spies which
opened in Peiping yesterday"
Movements Detailed.
The alleged statement by Col.
Arnold read:
"The 581st ARC Wing was
moved to the Philippine Islands
in order to cover primarily the
Peoples Republic of China and
the maritime provinces of the
USSR in the Far East. It was
appointed commanding officer. ). :.
1.-THE main functions of the
wing, in times OF war, or at
such other times as may be di-
rected by higher headquarters,
are: To introduce special agents
and guerrilla units into Com
munist countries and Commu-
nlst-held areas; to supply by air
delivery these personnel and the
guerrilla units originally operat-
ing there.
'Tt operates under the cover
of psychological warfare. In
addition to the wing headquar-
ters there are seven squadrons
assigned.
Originally seven wings of this
nature were included in the
program but this was subse-
quently reduced to five, of which
only three have been activated."
Alleged Deployments Given.
The statement said these were
the 580th in Tripoli, the 581st
in the Philippines and the 582d
In England. The remaining two

submarines are going in these days

In the interior of the submersibIes

There are sonal ash trays and

1t started year ago when Mrs.
Alec Baird was asked by crewmen
OF the Sabalo to help spruce UP the
interior OF the ship. Said Mrs.
Baird:
Before redecoration the Sabalo's

The chief Of naval operations
gave his blessing to the project.

TTu's skipper is prominent among
those pictured.
Cmdr. William D. flushing said
there are no taboos regarding the
painting of the bulkhead. They can
paint all they want so long as what
they paint is in good taste"
Mrs. Baird is pleased by the re-
Spouse and says she has many let
tiers OF appreciation from subma-
riners who find the new colors
very cooling. Her suggestion,
however, that the Navy "get rid of
all those pipes and things" was
promptly rejected.

at is a coincidence" said Prime
Minister Churchill in a recent
speech, "that this freedom should
come to us on what the Americans
call independence day. We are in
a mood to value the restoration
of this bit of our independence. "
Actually, meat supplies have
been good-and off-ration pur-
chaseS often possible-for some
months, but tomorrow the whole
ration book becomes a relic.
There are going to be some roast
beef hinges.
Meat is the last of the rationed
foods. Ration books have been part
Of the British way Of life since
March 1, 1910. Fourteen years of
meat shortages-often acute-do
something to how a nation thinks,
acts, works and of course, eats.
How are Britons going to react
to the new freedom?
Restaurant projectors are guess
ing that after big initial demand
for chops, outlets and filet steaks,
the British will revert to heir
traditional food habits which calls
for game, poultry and fish.
