PANMUNJOM, Korea, Aug.
(AP) Amid reports of new
on the uneasy Korean
truce line. the United Nations
Command warned today that
Communist North Korea must
curb its "bloodthirsty maraud-
ers" Immediately or it will in
vite its own destruction.
Mai. Gen. George H. Cloud,
senior delegate from the U. N.
Command on the armistice
commission, charged the North
Koreans with deliberate, mali
clous assaults in U. Neon
trolled territory which have
killed three Americans and
wounded a fourth since July 20.
North Korea brushed aside
the charges as "fabrications"
in one of the hottest exchanges
in 10 years of Armistice Com
mission meetings.
Earlier, Gen. Cloud said
Communist troops intruded into
the U. N. Command portion of
the demilitaried zone at 4:30
am. today and fresh firing
broke out between American
and Communist troops.
q. S. Patrol Thanked
Gen. Cloud said the clash
took place about 500 yards
south of the military demarca-
ton line running through the
center of the demilitarized zone.
He did not elaborate.
An American officer told
newsmen outside the armistIce
meeting that he threw eight
hand grenades in the latest re-
ported clash. He said an Ameri-
can patrol was thanked in the
fighting and had to withdraw.
No major casualties were re-
ported on either side. An Amer
lean soldier was treated for
shrapnel splinter in one hand,
but it was believed possible it
came from a United States gre
made.
Gen. Cloud said 81 Soviet
made cartridge cases were
found at the scene along with
an unexploded Soviet-type gre
made. Two hand grenades ex-
ploded, he said.
Series of PrOvOcatiOns
The Marine general said
search parties found three
North Korean raincoats and
wrappers from Soviet made
candy bars. The North Ko-
reans must have been munch-
ing before committing their
dastardly act" Gen. Cloud said.
The U. N. side called the Ar
mistice Commission meeting to
accuse the Communists Of a
series of provocations that be-
gan July 90 when a U. N. jeep
was ambushed in U. N. terri
tory. Two Americans we're killed
and a third wounded.
The next day a fourth Amer
lean soldier and a South Korean
policeman were killed in a clash
directly south Of the first am
bush. -Four north Korean SOL
diers were slain in this en-
counter.
Gen. Cloud called the Incl
dents a Communist route Of ter
ror and bloodshed."

your sides intention to destroy
