Allies Challenge Reds

To Produce

Prisoners They Hold

liiL'NS.-'iN. Korea, Dec. 13 - tTliurstl.1y) (CF)-Allied truce "egotmtors Wednesday challenged the Communists to produce de- tails about Allied prisoners of war or admit they have thrown .,.,.t1.:- Geneva Convention on ethics of war.

The riiallenge came as the Com- munisis stiffened truce bargain- mg tactics and called for more Aliioci concessions on supervising a Kormn armistice.

The Communists evaded the rhiillenrze. They stood pat on a prisoner lilfornlllilnil for United Nations' that all prisoners be 9X('llillli:O(l immediately after an armistice. The Allies had asked that the international Red Cross he allowed to visit all prisoner Cages.

Allied negotiators are that the communists do not: in- tend to rrturn all war prisoners.

Despite the bleak outlook. the feoiing persisted at U. N. advance headquarters that the rival dele- gallons conceivably could still reach a fiili armistice agreement. only 14 days remain in a 30-day trial period for a provisional cease-lire line based on the Nov. N hnttlr line.

Rear-Admiral R. E. Libby, con- ducting the Allied prisoner nego- tiations. assailed the Reds Wed- nesday for failing to abide by the Geneva Convention for reporting all wzir prisoners.

Libby said the Reds reported the names and locations of 50 prisoners taken in August. 1950.

Sections Cause Stiff Fights

OTTAWA. Dec. 12-(CP)-Com troversial provisions in the gov- ernment's freight-rate equalization bill dealing with Alberta and Maritimes rates provoked sharp splits today among members of the Senate Transport Committee.

After stiff fights, the commit- tee voted to:

1. Tone down a provision in, the Commons bill making it statutory for Alberta to get some of the benefits of the low "transcontinental" rates between the East and the British Columbia coast.

2. Leave intact a Commons- approved clause designed to preserve for the Maritime: their existing low rate setup and largely exclude them from country-wide equalization.

The change in the Alberta rate clause was the major amendment to the bill made by the commit- tee. The legislailon now goes to the Senate for third reading. Af- ter that it must be approved by Commons.

The Alberta proposal has been the centre of a fight among legis- lators for several weeks. it laid down that rates for the Western interior must not be more than 1U3 the favorable transcontin- ental rates enjoyed by British Columbia because of its water competition.

As changed by the Senate com- mittee. the Board of Transport Commissioners would have power to relax the 1 U3 rule for "g cause." -

senators from all sections of the country engaged in a sharp scrap over the issue today. with the committee eventually voting six to five for the relaxing amendment.

OTTAWA. Dec. 12-(CF)-In a. day possirbly without precedent in parliamentary records, the Commons today rejected three opposition motions of non-confi- dance in the government and concluded a drawn-out debate on the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.

The climax came shortly after the Progressive Conservatives charged that the government had technically voted itself out of office by accepting an amendment to the address in reply to "the Throne Speech. The government and its supporters laughed off the charge and made no reply.

The incident was only one of many in the Throne-Speech de- bate carried on during two days of every week since the session

During the debate. the Opposi- tion groups launched six motions of non-confidence in the govern-

”This House regrets the serious difficulties encountered by West- ern farmers in harvesting their crops. and commends Your Ex- celiency's advisers for the con- tinuing attention en to the problems caused there- by. and is confident that effective measures will continue to be taken to help the farmers in meeting these problems."

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2-(AP)- Presldent Truman called Attor- ney-General J. Howard Mcostrth and J.Edgar Hoover to the white House today, giving rise to new reports that he plans a major move to offset mounting tax scandals.

Speculation arose that Truman might assign Hoover. Chief of the federal Bureau of Investigation. or some other prominent: figure to make I government-wide inves- Mutton.

Anothlr possibility mentioned was that the President would set up a bi-psi-than eommiuion to conduct the inquiry. as Calvin Coolidge did in cracking down on the Teapot Dome oil-lease scandals of the 1080:.

W0 DEAD, THREE INJURED lN CROSSING ACCIDENT

PARIS. Dec. 12 -(Reuters) - South Africa's chief, delegate to the United Nations said tonight he was walking out of the General Assembly here in protest against the U. N. stand on Southwest Africa.

Interior Minister T. E. Dongcs said the withdrawal was "tempor- ary" and applied only to the plenary sessi of the assembly and the trusteeship committee.

It was the committee's insist- ence on hearing witnesses from Southwest Africa-a former Ger- man colony administered by South Africa-that prompted the South African protest.

First Time In History

This is the first time in the his- tory of the U. N. that a mcmber- country has withdrawn from the assembly.

Dohges said his uve.1'rment's decision to withdraw will be com- municated formally tomorrow to Dr. Luis Padilla Nervo, assembly president. south Africa will con- tinue to work on other U. N. com- mittees, he said.

"I expect to return to Paris af- ter consulting Prime Minister

back new instructions to contest the unconstitutional actions of the irustecship committee when tllI Southwest issue is before the Gen- eral Assembly." he said.

South Africa has insisted that the U. N. violated the Union's rights in permitting witnesses to speak for southwest Africa before the committee, which says it now has the League of Nationa' job.

Under the old league mandate no personal petitions were permit- ted from a mandated territory.

Doiigcs had previously urged Padilla Ncrvo to ask the General Assembly to review the trustee- ship committee's action. but the president said he saw no valid rea- son to do so.
