TOKYO. (AP)-Red China raised a new legal argument Sunday night against American charges that im- prisonment of captured U. 8. fliers as "spies" violates the K0- rean armistice. .

Peiping quoted a legal authority who once set as a judge of Jap- anese war criminals as saying the Korean armistice does not pertain to the ll fliers because:

i. The armistice terms for re- lease of war prisoners applied on ihe Red side only to those can- tured by North Koreans and the Chinese "volunteers." Red China has insisted it took no official part in the Korean war.

'2. The uniformed fliers "we're captured by Chinese pedsants'with- in Chinese territory west of Antung in Linoning province (Msnchuria) and apprehended by the Chinese public securiiiy authorities."

The legal authority quoted was Mel Ju-ao, who served as Chinese justice at the Japanese war crimes trials in Tokyo during the U. S. occupation. Mei gave his opinion to the Peoples Daily. the official newspaper of the Communist party

New Argumenf In U.S. Airmen's Case

The United States has insisted from the start that the fliers were shot down and taken prisoner within Korean territory, then pack- ed off to China. One of the U. S. arguments has been that spies would not be sent out wearing U.S. uniforms.

To that. Mel said:

"In determining whether a crim- lnel is a spy, the court obviously does not make its judgment on what he was wearing but what he was doing and the motives and pur- poses behind his actions."

CLEVELAND. (AP) -- The first- degree murder jury of Dr. Samuel Sheppard was given a night off Sunday night and was sent to its hotel at I! p.m. The jury will try again today to reach a decision.

No inquiry was made of the jur- ore and they gave no sign of how they stood since they got the case to ours ago on Friday morning.

Common pleas Judge Edward Bllvthin merely told thorn that they must be tired, that the weather was bed outside. -and that he thought they would "appreciate the rest of the evening off." He or- dered them back into the jury room at 0:15 am. today.

A deadlocked jury would nullify the costly. nine-week trial for the 30-year-old osteopath.

- VATICAN CITY. (Reuters)-The Pope. gravely weakened by nearly a. year of illness. will not broad- cast his usual Christmas Eve ad- dress io the world, according to present plans.

The 78-year-old Pontiff. who slept badly Saturday night and was still wrecked by hicoupis Sun- day. will instead appear for a. few moments at the window of his bed- room at noon on Christmas day, to salute crowds in the great col- onnaded square below.

This program was disclosedlby suthoristive Vatican sources. but

it was not expected to be an- nounced offlclelly until Christmas Eve.

END OF TRADITION

Prelatcs and laymen in the Vati- can regarded the disclosure as marking the end of 3. great tradi- tion. For 16 years the Pope has addressed himself to the world on Christmas Eve, delivering a series of speeches-nearly all of them impassioned appeals for peace.

At the beginning of this month the Pope was reported to have be- gun work on his address for this year. It was believed that in vit he might announce the names of six new cardinals to fill vacancies in the Senate of the Catholic Church.

But it was assumed that the Pontiff. who will be '19 in March. had finally acceded Sunday to the pleas of his doctors that he ovoid overtlring himself.

BUFFER!-ID INSOMNIA

The Vatican press service an- nounced Sunday morning that the Pope "suffered from some insom- nia" Saturday night. "The Holy Father slept little. but in general passed a fairly restful nlghi." it added.

BRITANNIA BEACH. B. C. (CF) Foul play is feared in the disap- pearance of John Black, 42-year- old postal assistant who vanished about the same time a 544,000 payroll was reported missing from the post office here.

The theft came to light Friday morning. The money was in a reg- istered. fully-insured package con-' taining the Christmas payroll for employees of the Britannia Mine and Smelling Company located in this centre of 1.500 persons.

Both police and post office in- vestigators emphasized it was not known if there was a connection between Black's disappearance and the robbery. one of the biggest post office losses in Canada in recent years. v

Disappearance of the money was discovered Friday morning when I bank em loyce went to the post of- fice to p ck up the parcel. Records showed it had been received by Black at the post office.

RCMP refused to say whether they had any leads to any ails- pects and postil and company offi- cials kept a tight lid on details of the theft.

However. police said Black was last seen about 8:30 Thursday night when a number of residents

the Pope was driven to I secluded corner of the Vatican gardens for a brief outing.

Boy Aoquiiled Of Murdering Aged Farmer

ST. JEROME. Que. (CP)--A 14- year-old boy was acquitted Satur- day of the rifle slaying of an aged farmer. He is due to appear again today on a charge of murdering the farmer's wife. but it is believed this charge will be dropped.

Young Gilles Bolsjoly, son of a Montreal homicide squad detective, burst into tears when the I2-man jury brought in its verdict of not guilty without leaving the court- room.

He had been charged with the slaying of 63- year- old Josaphat Therrien, found dead Oct. 18 along with his wife in the couple's Lau- reniian mountain farm house at nearby Val David. They were killed with a .22-calibre rifle.

Another youngster, 15-year-old Guy Desrochers. is being given a mental examination and is due to on trial Jan. l7. It was considered likely that, unless new evidence is uncovered. the charge against Des- rochers also would be dropped.

The jury's verdict came after the presiding judge, Mr. Justice Claude Prevost. ruled a statement al- legedly made by young Boisjoly to provincial police following his or-

saw him walking from the posh office towards his home a mile away. He never reached it.

A theory expressed by many citizens here was that Black. mar- ried and the father of a six-month- old boy, could have met with foul play after being forced by bandits to give them the money.

The three statesmen agreed that large-scale military and economic aid must be provided if the anti- communist forces are to stand a chance of winning the poll.
