Clark, United Nations Far East Commander, announced that the famed regiment which made two paradrops during the Korean War was dispatched to Koje "in order to insure complete control" of rebellious Red prisoners. Dispatch of the airborne troops to the island off South Korea underlined a new "get tough" Allied policy toward the prisoners. Clark seid he intended to prevent mass outbreaks by the prisoners "which inevitably would result in additional violence and bloodshed. "I do not propose to countenance for one moment fur-, ther unlawful acts on the part of these prisoners of war and civilian internees," he said.

It was the hottest day and night in some places since Sept Clark announced that the 187th had completed its movement to the island 30 miles off southeast Korea. Clark, who took over the U.N. command one week ago today, said he ordered the paratroopers to Koje at the request of Gen. James A. Van Fleet, U.S.

Eighth Army commander. He said they would temporarily reinforce the troops already there. U.S. troops and South Korean guards have, in the past, been guarding the POWs on Koje. SERVED IN KOREA The 187th Regiment, a beefed-up unit larger than most infantry regiments, has been stationed at Beppu, in southern Japan, for about one year.

Before that it was in Korea. "Communist prisoners of war and civilian internees on Koje have not only resorted on repeated occasions to unlawful violence, but, obviously acting under instructions from outside agents of the international Communist power conspiracy, have' threatened mass outbreaks which inevitably would result in additional violence and bloodshed," Clark said. 'The United Nations authorl ties will continue to observe the provisions of the Geneva Con vention in the administration of U.N. POW Camp No. 1 and at all other POW camps under their control.

At the same time, they will require that the prisoners of war and civilian internees ob serve the responsibilities placed on them by the provisions of the same convention. Good order and discipline will be required of them at all times. WILL ENFORCE ORDERS "The presence of the famous 187th Airborne Infantry Regiment will enable Hayden L. Boat-ner, commanding general U.N. POW Camp No.

1, to ensure that my directives in this matter are fully implemented." The recent kidnapping of General Dodd was the climax of disturbances which left 90 prisoners and one American guard killed on the island. The note which effected Dodd's release drew instant denials from high American sources. The U.S. defence department in Washington, as well as Clark disputed the wording of the ransom message which, in effect, admitted mistreatment of prisoners.

Both O'Brien and the man nabbed hjy Providence police iwere named, police said, as Brinks robbers by Alfred Gag-non, interviewed in Rhode Island state prison last Wednesday. Gagnon also is said to have told investigators he received $15,000 as his share of the Brink's loot in a payoff at O'Brien's home but was robbed of the money almost immediately in a holdup. Police ruled out robbery in the slaying as O'Brien was never known to carry his roadhouse receipts with He was ruled as a public enemy.

Allies Make Tinal7 Try For Truce Bv Associated Press MUNSAN, Korea.
