The other, commanded by Assistant Chief Frank Walls, ia Used As Red Spies PANMUNJOM, (INS) The use of American turncoats as military spies in efforts to drag U. S. air force secrets out of fellow-prisoners was reported by one of 75 GI's freed Tuesday in Panmunjom.

I Another newly-repatriated soldier declared that only 200 to 300 of nearly 4,000 Americans missing in action in 1950 before the Chinese entered the Korean war still are alive and in Communist captivity. Some of the returning GI's also charged that Red Cross members inspecting the Communist repatriation stopover point at Kaesong were permitted to interview only the few pro-Communists among the Americans. One repatriated Texan told of a month's incarceration with wrists tightly bound together as punishment for his attempt to escape from a North Korean prisoner camp. UNITED NATIONS, N. INS Russia challenged the U.

S. position on the Korean peace parley Tuesday by proposing an 11-member conference group which would include the Big Four and India along with Sweden, Burma and Poland. Soviet united nations Delegate Andrei Vishinsky's plan would exclude all of the small nations with forces in Korea. It laid down a roundtable formula in direct opposition to U. S.

Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge who declared that if Russia is to participate in the peace talks it must sit on the "aggressor" side of the table with Red China and North Korea, Vishinsky's resolution on the Korean parley makeup stipulated that decisions of that conference can be voted only by parties which signed the armistice agreement. This would exclude South Korea. The U. S. and Russia clashed head-on at the very outset of Tuesday's opening debate on the Korean peace conference, and Kussia was quickly defeated in one early move to have Red China nd North Korea invited to the present united nations peace nession.

Lodge, chief of the U. S. delegation, spoke a few moments ttfter Vishinsky's sudden motion demanding Red China's and Is'orth Korea's invitation to the present session.

(Treaty Work WASHINGTON The Big Three Western Powers have agreed to Russia's demand that work be resumed on a comprehensive peace treaty with Austria if the Soviets are willing to stick to the issues and finish the job. The United States, in a note similar to ones dispatched from London and Paris, said it is willing to shelve the abbreviated treaty which the Western nations have been pressing on this understanding: "That there will be no extraneous issues raised and that the Soviet government is prepared to conclude a treaty for Austria which will insure Austria's political and economic independence." After more than 200 sessions by deputy foreign ministers of the four nations met with no success in agreeing to a full Austrian treaty, the United States. Britain and France proposed an abbreviated version. The main point of difference between the two drafts is that the short form omits a clause calling for the return of industries which the Soviets are holding on the ground that they belonged to the German Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler. The notes delivered to the For- eign Office in Moscow Monday The startling charge that some American dupes of the Communist overlords in North Korean prison camps were turned into military "interrogators" was made by a young aii-man repatriated Tuesday.
