Nam Dinh is a small town about

concerned. They were all over

The house assigned to us was
situated at the perimeter Of the

Britain Backs
U. 5. Protest
Red China
JoiIing American
POWs Called
Outrageous Act
By the Associafed Press

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Brit
ish government today accused
Communist China of violating
the Geneva convention on pris-
oners of war in the jailing of Is
Americans on charges of espio-
mage.
The accusation came from q
Foreign Office spokesman who
denounced the Peiping regime
for concealing the fact that the
Reds held the Americans for
more than a year. The spokes-
man declared:
"The arguments by which the
Chinese government justifies the
different treatment of Korean
prisoners of war are no more
than legal bubbles. Their ac-
ton is contrary to the 1949 Ge-
neva Convention on the treat
ment of>prisoners of war"
The unusually strong state.
ment by the British Foreign Of
flee. which has been attempting
to foster better relations between
Red China and the United States,
was made in response to ques-
tions by newsmen.
Sentenced to Prison.
Red China announced Tues
day that the 13 Americans-11
airmen and two civilians-shot
down during the Korean war
had been sentenced to prison
terms ranging upe to life i'm
prisonment on charges of spying.
The Foreign Office spokesman
said: "All prisoners from the
Korean hostilities should have
been returned during Operation
Big Switch in August and Sep
tember, 1883"
That was the big exchange Of
prisoners that followed the sign
ing of the Korean armistice in
July, 1858.
The spokesman said the Mao
Tze-tung regime replied only
negatively" when inquiries were
made in Peiping last June by
the British Charge d'Affaires,
Humphrey Trevelyan, about
missing American and Common
wealth airmen. Lists handed
Chinese Red officials by the
British envoy included the names
OF the United States airmen
now jailed on espionage charges.
Britain has recognized Conn
munist China. The United
States has not. Britain has been
handling American affairs in
Red China.
Action Outrageous"
The spokesman said "Her
Majesty's government fully sup
ports the views expressed by
Minister Of State Anthony Nut
ting that the action of the Chi
1ese government is outrageous"
Mr.. Nutting. who is now in
New York as head of the Brit
ish delegation to the United Ma
tions. yesterday condemned the
Chinese Communist action in a
speech before the Overseas Press
Club of America. He pledged that
Britain will do all in our pow
er to mitigate this great and
grievous wrong"
Today, London newspapers
front-paged developments in the
case of the American airmen.
Editorial Comment.
But only the conservative
Telegraph, which is close to the
Churchill government, spoke out
editorially against the Peiping
action.
"If the Peiping government
wants peaceful co-existence with
the Americans. it is going about
it in a strange way" the Tele-
graph said.

Dock Pact Reached
In New York Gives
Union Shop 10 |LA
Two-Yeor Agreement
Also Contuins No-Strike
Pay Raise Clauses
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Nego-
tiators for 10000 union dock
workers and major shipping and
stevedoring companies in the
Port Of New York reached agree
ment today on terms for a new
two-year contract.
The agreement is subject to
ratification by the membership
of locals of the International
Longshoremen's Association and
by the ITO companies represent
ed by the New York Shipping
Association.
A truce period. which grew out
of a two-day longshoremen's S
strike last month, expires Sat-
urday midnight.
Although the union had not
threatened a strike at that time
If no agreement was reached,
marathon negotiations went on
with the aid of Federal and city
mediators.
The windup negotiation meet
ing was continuous from 2::30
pm. yesterday until 5 am. today.
Four Major Points.
The agreement, announced by
Commissioner John A. Burke of
the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service, contains these
major points:
/. The LILA gets a union shop.
Mr.. Burke said this is the first
union shop in the industry-at
least on the North Atlantic
coast, which extends from Port
land, Me-, to Hampton roads, Va.
2. The agreement - the first
one extending for more than
one year-contains a no-strike,
no : lockout, no work stoppage
clause. This also is an innova-
ton on the waterfront.
8. The workers get wage,
pension and welfare package of
II cents an hour. OF this, 13
cents is in wage raises over the
contract term. Basic pay is
now $2.35 an hour.
4. An employer must notify
the union a day before a man
is to be hired, and he is guar
anteed four hours of work.
Shape-Up System Out.
Mr.. Burke said Point A prac-
tically eliminates the shape-up
system. under which the men
line up outside the piers at the
blast of a whistle and hiring
boss picks the men he wants to
work.
Federal and State investigat-
ing bodies and cleanup groups
for many years have blamed. the
shape-up for a major part Of the
crime and racketeering on the
vast water front.
Mr.. Burke noted that the wage
scale agreed on in the Port of
New York normally sets a pattern
for other ports on the North
Atlantic coast. The agreement
is retroactive to last October /
Mr.. Burke said the LILA will
hold a series of membership
meetings next week to vote on
the agreement. He said ratifica-
tion will be recommended by the
unions Negotiating Committee
and by the employers Negotiating
Committee.

Tuesday failed to save his life.

Hiss Release Near.
The inquiry into the attack
on Remington came as prison
authorities at Lewisburg pre-
pared for the release Saturday
of Alger Hiss, due to be freed
after serving 31a years of a per-
jury sentence also involving
denials he gave Government Sc
crets to the Reds.
Acting Warden Fred T. Will
kinson said no prisoner demon
strations had been caused by
the approach of Hiss release
and prison officials issued a
terse mo comment reply to
statements that Remington's
death had been caused by anti
Red feeling among the peni-
tentiary's inmates.
However, Remington's second
wife was quoted as telling the
New York Post her husband was
attacked by "a couple of hood
lums who got all worked up by
all the publicity about Com
nnunists." Her husband, she said,
was a victim Of the times"
She quoted Mr.. Wilkinson as
telling her, though, that "the
attack appeared completely un-
provoked and was an impersonal
thing"
She Denies His Communist.
Another New York newspaper,
the Journal-American quoted
Mrs. Remington as saying:
"They killed him. They killed
him because they thought he
was Communist. Oh, my God,
my God! No matter what they
thought, he never was a Com
munist."
Mrs. Remington said she re-
ceived a letter from her hus-
band yesterday.
"It was all about people and
personal things" she said. "All
his life he never believed people
were bad"
Remington, who had three
children, married for the second
time between his two perjury
trials. His present wife now
lives in New York under her
maiden name, with their 18-
month-old son.
Original Conviction VOided.
Remington, who resigned q
SIC, ,000-a-year job with the De-
partment of Commerce in 1850 to
defend himself against the per-
jury charge, obtained a United
States Supreme Court ruling,
setting aside his initial convic-
ton. He was convicted for the
second time January q. 1858.
He began serving a three-year
sentence in April, 1853.
At his first trial, Remington's
first wife-Anne Moos Reming-
ton-testified he was q member
of the Communist Party and
paid dues to Elizabeth Bentley,
