Jron ftiofe Were Ordered TOKYO High-level officers In the United Nations Command today said riots and incidents in U.N. prisoner camps were provoked by smnll bands of die-hard Communists acting on orders to show that the UNC Is mistreating POWs.

One riot, at Pusan yesterday, ami one incident, on violence-ridden Koje Island earlier this month, occurred in prisoner hospitals. The next move of the Reds, the officers said, undoubtedly wm be to unleash violent accusations that the UNC is so low and contemptible that la is even torturing patients In the hospitals. The U.S. Eighth Army said the Pusan outbreak; touched off by a small group of agitators amojigr hospital orderlies. One Red POW was killed and 35 were injured in the 2 -hour meleo.

Sit down Slrlke Held Prisoner-inmates atld prisoner- doctors in the Koje hospital went on a sifdown strike Friday. They were removed from the hospital to a separate compound Monday without incident.

commander, has increased the guar4 detail by more than 5,000 men, ttiere are 170,000 prisoners. According to the screening report, only 10,000 of these are mitled Communists. But there has long been a suspicion within the U.N. that some Communist soldiers in Korea surrendered under instruo- ions. The instructions were believed have included orders to agitat wlhin the prison camps.

would not be difficult for a prisoner to profess hatred for communism, then turn agitator he was put in a compound of anti- Communists. Outside Control One thing is certain. The hardcore Communists inside the camps have outside cotitact. It may be radio, an underground chain which includes a few small boats or even a fifth column among Korean guards.
