Says Chinese Have Necks In Soviet Qdlar

Decision On American

Resolution May Be Dela Id Until Next Wee .

(By Francis W. Clrpenler)

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Jan. 18 -(AP)-Warren ft. Austin de- manded today that the United Na- llons face facts and condemn Communist China for committing aggression in Korea at Russia's behest.

The chief United States dele- gate sald Communist China lead- ers have put their necks "in the Soviet collar." scorned the U, N.. openly accepted responsibility for the Chinese Red masses fighting in Korea. and must ttceept the consequences.

Allie Politlve Action

Pleading for positive action to meet Peiping's rejection of the U. N. cease-fire appeals. Austin reminded the delegates of the rabbit. which he called an animal lovely to look at but lacking in character. He said a rabbit squats in face of danger and "oven the house-cat can break his neck."

Austin then laid the following points before the political com- mittce:

1. Condemnation of Red

China as an aggressor.

2. A call by the General As- sembly upon the Pclplng reg-

ime to cease hostilities and withdraw its forces from Korea.

3. A reaffirmatlon of the

U. N. intention to continue its efforts to meet aggression in Korea.

4. A call by the Assembly upon all countries and auth- orities in lend their assistance to the United Nations and to refrain from giving any as- sistance to the aaizressors.

5. Recommendations from the collective measures com- mittee on the next steps. The U. S. is reporied.io be favor- ing economic sanctions but Austin did not siiy so fit this time. ,

6. Organization of a U. N. group which will at all times be ready to use its good of- fices toward stopping the fighting in Korea by peaceful means and settling peacefully .the problems ff Koren.

These points are expected to be put before the political commit- lee tomorrow in a formal rc- solution backed by numerous countries. Several days ago Aus- tin gained the backing of every Latin American country and has the support of several other coun- tries. Britain and the Common- wealth countries have not -yet made up their minds.

There were indications that no decision on the American resolu- tions would be made before next week. The Soviet bloc is expected to fight it at every step.

Jakob Maiik. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister. was absent to- day. It was reported he was un- well. Semyon K. Tsarapkin sat for him.

By William Boas

MIIRYANG, Korea, Jan. 18 - (OP)-A company of the 2nd Bat- talion, Patric-ia's Canadian Light Infantry, tonight counted a score of two Korean Communists killed and at least three wounded during three days of anti-guerrilla oper-

y allons.

Useful information on the south Korean communist organization also was acquired, it was learned, in this first brush with the enemy by Canada's special force troops who landed in Korea Dec. 19. The Battalion now is in the final istages of its field training preparatory to going into action with other United Nations forces against the Red hordes from the north.

But the news of this meccss against the enemy in the Canad- ians' initial engagement-an iso- lated incident by a company led by Maj. Vince Lilley of Hamilton. Ont.-was darkened for the Bat- talion by its first fatality in Kor- ea. An accident wi-thamine claim- ed the life of RSIM. James wood of Calgary. fatally wounded dur- lng a demonstration he was giving to company sergeant-majors.

Mrs. Steele stated she had been home for dinner and supper on December 1. This was contrary to evidence given by the prisoner and his wife who both testified she had been at their home for supper. Mrs. Weeks had said Mrs. Steele had supper with her, and the prisoner had stated she had been there when he came in after sup- per and they had started to walk home with her.

The brush with the guerrillas was an outcome of last week-end's ambush slaying of two New Zea- land soldiers and the wounding of two other New Zealanders in an- other incident.

The Canadians, who had been acting on previous instructions to clear their district of guerrillas thought to be lurking there. in- creased their vigilance after the attacks on their Commonwealth comrades.

Then. acting on information gs- thered by Lieut. Peter McKenzie of Vancouver. an intelligence officer, and reinforced by 300 Republic of Korea police, a ccmpany from the Battalion encircled a guerrilla stronghold in the Korean Hills. They sighted 12 members of what they took to be a 225-man guerrilla force.

Maj. Vince Lllley of Hamilton. who led the attack, said later that he believed his men wounded at

least three guerrillas.
