India Begins Releasing Prisoners To UN Command

hudomiarch Begins Despite lied Objection

PANMUNJOM. (AP)--llndis be- gan turning back 22.039 anti-Com- munist North Koreans and Chi- nese war prisoners to the United Nations command today despite strong Communist objections.

The massive movement south- ward toward freedom began .at 130 am. (6:50 pm. EST Tuesday).

The vanguard was made up of singing. banner-waving Chinese.

AP Correspondent Jim Becker spotted the line of captives march- ing southward out of the demll- ltarized zone.

They were headed toward the Chinese loading zone where 600 trucks waited to whisk them to Munsan. then to Seoul and the Asom Oity camp near Inchon.

From Irichon, landing ships will carry the Chinese in s, few days to the Nationalist island of For-

mosa.

The first Chinese walked out of the neutral none at 8:62 am. They were the vanguard of a long column.

American soldiers greeted them in Chinese and led them down a barbed wire lane to the waiting trucks.

Reds Protest

The Oommunist command in s lsst-moment letter to the neutral nations repatriation commission demanded that India ”wlt.hdraw" its decision to release unreps.tris- ted prisoners. The command re- fused to say whether it would take back the 340 in the pro--Red camp.

A neutral official said the "im- plication" of the Red letter was that the Communists would not take back the M9. The letter it- self promised only to continue to supply the camp and to maintain order if the commission would keep custody of all -prisoners.

Gen. John 12. Hull, United Na- tions Far East commander, flew hum lbkyo to Kola. and re- insisted that the 32.000 would ba- oome civilians in the eyes of his command at midnight Friday "wherever they happen to be."

Drew Urges Development In Norlhimd

OTTAWA. (CF) -- Opposition Leader Drew said Tuesday the government should do everything possible to interest more people in settling in the Northwest Ter- ritories.

The bill. changing the number of elected representation on the council from three to four, was given second reading--approval in principle-and will come up later- for third reading. Then it will go to the Senate.

Mr. Drew said that in the last few years new interest in the ter- ritories resulted from mining dis- coveries, once the exclusive claim

Mr. MacIean's inquiries were subsequent to a letter from the Prince Edward Island Railway Mail 0lerks' Association expressing anx- icty over proposed changes in pos- tal operations which would give more direct authority over mail deliveries to the District Office At saint John. The Association reg- istered : strong advance protest against any such change on grounds that it would be detrimen- tail to the best interest of the pm- tel service and to post office per- sonnel in the Province. It further deplored any action which would weaken the "quasi-autonomy" of P. E. I. postal officials. '

In his inquiries from Deputy Postmaste -General Walter Turn- bull and other senior officials. Mr Mscbean asked if it was certain that no charges in postal admin- istration would be made w,ii1hour. referring any such matter to Ot- tows headquarters. The officials said they hardly believed any such decision would be made by a. reg-1 ions.l office on its own initiative. They promised to have the matter fully investigated. with particular reference to any pl . f A in delivery of rural malls.

”We have advaiiced the argu- ment ihat foreign-ship trade be restricted." he said. "This would not apply to trips, for instance, between a Gernian port and a Great Lakes port. or even between a. Canadian eastern Maritime port and. say, Cleveland or Milwaukee. But it would apply to trade be- tween all recognized Great Lakes area ports of both Canada and the United States."

A resolution has been introduced

in the U.S. Scnaie urging Presi-

Any steps in this direction would be carried out between the U. S. states Department andCan- ada's department. of exiemal ai- fairs.
