UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Aug. 8 R.-Continued talking
In the United Nations has kept
the question of disarmament
alive, Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold says.
But in his annual report, out

conference diplomacy may
usefully be supplemented by
more quiet diplomacy within the
United Nations, whether directly
between representatives of men,
Der governments or in contacts
between the Secretary General
and member governments" Mr..
Hammarskjold said in a 5000
word introduction to the annual
review of U. N. activities for the
last year.
The report goes to the 10th
q. NJ General Assembly meet
Evening star., 1955-08-08
Use Of Secret Diplomacy
Backed yHommorskjoId

ing here September 20 for q l2-
week session.
The Secretary General pre-
scribed a more active role for
himself in secret diplomacy as a
result Of the success he had In
getting the release Of Is United
States flyers held by Red China
after the Korean armistice. He
| flew to Peiping last January for
talks with the Chinese Com
munists and kept up his nego-
tiations through Swedish and
Indian ambassadors afterward.
Declaring there was a trend
toward lesser tension in world
affairs, Mr.. Hammarskjold sad
work on disarmament would
continue to be one of the most
important activities of the U. N.
in the coming year.
"The member governments
have been right never to give
up this effort during all the
years when no real advance was
made toward closing the gap
between the respective posi-
tions," he noted.
"It is, of course, true that the
actual establishment of an
agreed system for the control
and reduction of armaments and
ARMED forces can take place only
in an atmosphere of confidence,
trust and understanding among
nations. an atmosphere which
has not yet come into being.
But 1t was a mistake to draw
from this conclusion. as some
did, that there was no use in
the meantime striving for such
agreement. The exchange of
views. the explorations of the
respective positions that have
been taking place in the dis
armament subcommittee and the
General Assembly, have been an
essential part Of the processes
through. which the member
governments have sought to fnd
their way in the search for in
creased understanding and con-
fidence."
In the report Mr.. Hammarsk-
jold proposed a 1866 budget Of
SAG, ,278,000, as compared with
appropriations this year of $46,-
$685. The United States pays
one-third of the budget.

Months of Red Torture
Described by Airmen

+ But told those people things
that would have been better If
they did not know. I am very
much ashamed I am not
proud of it," he said.
i The only statement he signed,
he said, was one that his air
unit, the 581st Aerial Resupply
Group. had come to the Pacific
to aid countries in danger of
being overrun by nations op-
posed to democracy. At the
trial in Peiping. later, other
statements were added to this
which made it sound as if he
had confessed to a spying mis-
sion. Il repudiated that state
ment at the trial." he said.
His navigator, Capt. Elmer F.
Llewellyn of Missoula, Mont,
also denied the Red charges.
\ He had just pinpointed a spot
on North Korea's west coast, 40
miles south of the Yalu River
boundary. as the one where their
B-29 was downed in flames by
combined MIG and anti-aircraft
fire.
Others Sign Statements
Other officers in the crew said
they had signed statements sim
liar to Col. Arnold's. The en-
listed men said they signed state
ments admitting that the plane
may have come down in Red
China's Manchuria.
Maj. William H. Banner. Lew
isburg, Pa, who was wounded
before he bafled out and later
suffered from frostbite and spent
much time m the hospital, was
the only one who did not sign
a statement.
"They started after me but
then eased of, probably because
of my condition." he said.

of a logging tractor driver. With
her was her young son.

during the Korean war.
Una talked by tranS-Paciflc
telephone yesterday with Airman
Schmidt. who is in Tokyo on his
way back to America after 80
months in a Red China prison.
After the call, her attorney,
Harold Berliner, said Una had
separated-at least temporarily
from the logger.
Just what Una and the airman
talked about was not made pub
lie by Airrnan Schmidt, Una or
Mr.. Berliner.
The attorney did say: una
and AL believe it is best for all
concerned that they live separate
and apart until such time as
their problems are solved. In
fairness to Airman Schmidt,
there will be no further an
nouncement until he returns and
has had an opportunity to dis
cuss the entire matter"

TOKYO, Aug. 8 (R.-The Chi.
nese Reds used months of ex-
cruciating physical and menta,
torture to wiring statements from
10 of II American airmen downec
in Korea and then used them tt
convict them as spies, Col. Johr
Knox Arnold, jr., told a press
conference here yesterday.
The II men, released last
Thursday at the Hong Kone
border, are scheduled to leave
Tokyo Wednesday morning fol
home in two Air Force trans
ports.
Air Force spokesmen said one
route being considered woulc
take them to Travis Air Force
Base. Calf, via Alaska and
McChord Air Force Base, Wash
Another would go via Honolulu
which would have better medical
facilities en- route although We
don't expect to need them"
From Travis the men will be
flown to the bases nearest theil
homes for 30-day convalescent
leaves.
(The Air Force today ruled
out a mass welcome on the
West Coast in keeping with
the wishes Of the men them
selves. The Air Force said
that because relatives of sew
eral are not able to make the
trip, the men as a group de-
cided they wanted to 60 to
their separate homes after
reaching the United States
possibly Thursday, also they
wish to avoid the confusion of
a mass welcome.)
Col. Arnold led the others yes
terday in telling of their treat
ment during 21a years in China
Was Slugged in Face
"They used persuasion that
|civiliEed people simply do not
know about" he said.
He told of being slugged in
the face with his hands tied
behind him. of tourniquet-like
manacles. of being forced to
stand until you started scream
ing" Then he broke down
briefly.
Col. Arnold, of Silver Spring
commanded a B-29 shot down
January IL, 1858, while on a
leaf1et dropping mission over
North Korea. Peiping's Com
munist propaganda radio an
nounced last November that he
and his 10 crewmen had been
convicted of intruding over
Manchuria on a spying mission.
Col. Arnold was sentenced to
10 years. The others got from
four to eight.
They told me sooner or later
they would get from me what
they wanted-but they didn't
get it," declared the thin, tired
looking colonel
He said he never had confessed
to intruding over China or to
being on a spy mission.

Garden Time
BY ROBERT SCHMIDT

Because this is the Christmas
season we are attracted by the
PLANTS that produce berries such
as the holliss. The hollies, and
Especially the American holly
have long been an important
part OF our Christmas dccora-
tons and the Identification of
our yards and grounds. The A
raerican holly is really u tree
and should be given plenty of
room to develop. The hollies are
deciduous; that is they have
i?ale and female plants. Be sure
10 buy female plants or you will
have no berries. The best way
% be sure is to select plants that
Lave berries on them.
"Yaupon" is a holly that is
native along our seacoast. 1t is
usually covered with small red
berries but it must be well
pruned in order to make an at
tractive shrub. 1t does better in
its native coastal environment
than it does further inland. The
l"dahoon" or "caSSine" holly is
anather native of our coastal
plain swamps. There are some
red and some yellow berried
forms. 1t is not adapted to other
sections of the state.
Chinese holly is a very fine
shrub with very thorny leaves.
The female plant has large red
berries in profusion. "Burford's"
holly is a selection from the
Chinese holly with almost thorn
less leaves.
Japanese hollies are used eX-
tensively in landscape paintings.
There are many forms of this
species. Some are low growing
with very small leaves. Others
are good substitutes for box
wood. Most Japanese hollies are
low enough in habit of growth
so that they can be used for
Foundation paintings and to out
line walks. However, the ber-
ries are black and inconSpicu-
Gus.
In the Piedmont and Noun
tain areas we have the native
|CCciduous hollicS which lose
their leaves in the winter. They
have attractive red berries and
are very hardy but are not so
popular as the evergreen
species.
Other red berried plants that
arc available TO use in most pro-
lions of North Carolina are pho
.tiria, 1andina, pyr1cantha, bar
berry, CotoncaStCr, dog wood,
hawthorn and certain species of
euonymuS.

|2Cargo Ships
Crash in Fog

MANTEO. N. c., April 10 (P).
Two foreign cargo ships col
lided in a dense fog early today
of the North Carolina coast and
the Coast Guard said one man
was fatally injured.
The vessels were identified as
the 320-foot Bahia de Matanzas
of Cuban registry and the 323-
foot Colombian ship Ciudad de
Bogots.
An agent for the Bogota said
each ship normally carries a
crew of about IS. He was un-
able to say how many were
aboard.
The Coast Guard said 1t had
received a radio message from
the nlinesweeper Lookout Of the
death of the ships cook aboard
the Bogota. The crewman, who
was not identified, earlier had
been reported injured when he
was pinned beneath a steel plate.
The ship radioed he died later.
A hole in her starboard quar-

the Bogota was reported dead
in the water. She reported the
sea calm with no wind.

Democrats See Speech
Aiding Stevenson Stature

are uppermost not only in the
hearts of Democrats but of the
overwhelming majority of the
American people today" Sena-
tor George, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
said he agreed generally with
what Mr.. Stevenson said.
British, French and other for
eign diplomats in the Capital
were reported generally en-
couraged by Mr.. Stevenson s
formula for avoiding hostilities
over the rival Red Chinese and
Nationalist claims to the off,
shore islands.
None would say, however,
whether their governments would
agree to join the United States
in declaring readiness to fight
for Formosa. If Quemoy and
Matsu were abandoned to the
Reds as Mr.. Stevenson suggested
they might be under such con-
ditions.
The foreign diplomats noted
that while Secretary of State
Dulles criticized Mr.. Stevenson's
proposals yesterday, he said he
would not go so far as to char
acterize Mr.. Stevenson's views
as "a craven purchase of peace"
More Room for Maneuver
The diplomats said this COM
ment reflected an awareness that
Mr. Stevenson's remarks gave
the administration more room
for maneuver toward some ar
rangement which would give
Quemoy and Matsu to the Reds.
Mr.. Eisenhower. in their view,
now is free to negotiate such a
deal with what amounts to adj
vance assurances from Mr..
