note demanding the release of 13 Americans they have lmDnsoned as spies. Knowland, the senate Re publican leader, told a news conference the United States has a "moral obligation" to "use more than words to protect Americans abroad." Making it clear he was speak ing only for himself and without consultation with the defense and state departments, the California senator said he believes a blockade could be made effective with out any grave risk of war. He proposed that the United States approach this action through the United Nations. He said American allies ought to be willing to join In a blockade. But if tftey are not.

he said. In no event should these allies be given any veto over American action. 'If the Communists don't re spond to our note and continue to hold our uniformed men in prison in direct violation of the Korean truce, with or without the support of the United Nations we would be justified in clamping a tight blockade on China, Know-land asserted. 'We should serve notice on them that no vessel can get in -or out of China until these Amer icans are released. I believe we can make it so expensive to them that our men will be released.

"We have the power to do this and the moral obligation to-do it. Those associated with us In the free world should co-operate but I don't think we should give them a veto on our actions." The United States has trans mitted through the British foreign office a note couched in the stiffest terms. It accused the Chinese Reds of violating inter national law, the Korean armistice and "elementary precepts of justice and humanity" in impris-ioning fliers and two men listed as civilian employes of the U. S. army.

The 13 were captured during the Korean war. Follow ing up its note, the administration was reported to be pressing the campaign for release of the 13 by rallying free world opinion against the Red "out rage." But there was no indication. that administration officials were considering any blockade action.

TurlUk Baraar Fire urM5n oazaar Tire i muuuu uuimik Sneered At In Peiping Outbursts Expected, Says Commentator TOKYO, Sunday, Nov. 28 UfiA Red China news commentator said last night hat U.S. fliers among the 13 Americans sentenced as spies" recently were shot down over two provinces of Manchuria and therefore could not be considered as Korean war prisoners.

"The hvsterical outbursts and denials that have come from the warmongering groups in the United States were not unex pected," the commentator said. "For the facts revealed that the United States was engaged in large scale subversive activities precisely at a time when these groups were doing their utmost to slander (Red) China by the false charge that she was carrying out so-called 'subversive activities' in Asia." Kiang Xan, commentator for Hsinhua (New China News) was quoted in the Peiping broadcast: It is not easy, however, lor me warmongers of the U.S. to deny their criminal dispatch of spies into China. They now allege that these two groups of U.S. spies were merely prisoners of war captured during the Korea war.

These spies, they claim, should be repatriated according to the Korean armistice agreement. "But the plane B-Z9 In which (Col. John Knox) Arnold (of Silver Spring, Md.) was shot down was over Liaoning province in side China and the plane (B-29) in which (John Thomas) Downey (of New Britain, Conn.) and (Richard George) Fecteau (of Lynn, Mass), were shot down was over Kirin province inside China. "Since the American planes carrying the U.S. spies were shot down inside Chinese territory and since these spies have admitted that their tasks were to engage in espionage activities in China, the Washington alibi that these persons were merely POWs In the Korean war is a smokescreen put up to deceive the public."

Dr. Fairfield Osborn of the conservation foundation calls our attention to the critical situation with respect to water in the following words: "The rapid increase in the use of water is an interesting phenomenon of the modern age.

Gone are the primitive homestead days when two buckets for each person would do. Vast cities, industrial systems, irrigated lands have changed all that.

Nov. Ub Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who has kept Japan away from diplomatic ties with Communist nations during six years in office, was reported to have decided at a momentous two-hour conference yesterday to retire soon from Japan's stormy political scene.

Press reports of that decision raised the question whether his successor would be: Ichiro Hatoyama, who feels that the need of trade with Red China and Russia justifies diplo matic relations. Or Taketora Ogata, deputy prime minister, who follows closer to Yoshida's line of think-ins. Ogata met with Yoshida yester day for two hours at the prime minister's seaside villa.
