Over Allied

By WILLIAM JORDEN

MUNSAN. Korea. Feb. 21 (Thursday) -. (AP) - The Com- munists in I loud propaganda out- rry demanded Wednesday that the United Nations command accept Russia as a "neulral" to help sup- ervise the Korean armistice.

At the same time the Red Peip- tng radio rapped the Allied nom- lnation of Norway and Sweden to it six-country neutral supervisory orcan for policing a truce.

The debate was to continue in A staff officcrs' session scheduled for ll A.M. today (9 P.M. E S. T. Wednesday).

stalling For Time

in Tokvo the "Volce of the Un- tleri Nations Command" radio in a broadcast in Korea accused the Commtmists of deliberately stall- ing 'or time.

The Allied broadcast said the Reds were "thunrlerstruck" by swift Allied acceptance Tuesday of Red recommendations for a post-armls- lice political conference. It. added "thcy assumed there would he days of delay and arguing . . . but when the U. command accepted the draft. the Rcds' timetable was titrmvu completely out of line."

The U.N. command tried to .lnN"ri no progress on truce super- vision by cutting its requirement for troop rotation from 40.ll0i' to nation llnonthly during a truce. The Reds want a limit of 30.000.

The Reds turned down the Al- tlrrl compromise.

since Sunday the U.N. com- msnri has turned down the Red nomination of Russia as "not ac- cehtable" on the grounds that britlr sides agreed the six neutral coun- tries invited to serve in Korea must be ttttrccsble to both sides.

Canadian Airmen Arrive in Britain

LIVERPOOL. Feb. 20 -- (CP)- (.'anada's Silver Fox Squadron came down the gangvway today and hustled off in buses to a new base in Britain.

More than 15:) officers and men of the R.C.A.F.'s No. 441 Squad- ron, accompanied by 34 wives and children. arrived from Saint John, N.B.. in the liner Empress of France. Buses took them to the R.C.A.F. station at North Luffenham, Rutland, home of No. I Fighter Wing.

No. 441 Squadron will join No. -no (Cougar) Squadron, at North Luffenham since last November. Both will be joined later by No. 439 Squadron. bringing No. 1 Fighter Wing to full strength.

While in Britain the squadrons will be under operational con- trol of R.A.F. Fighter Command. They form the initial RC.A.F. contribution to the 11-squadron Canadian air division which ul- timately will add punch to North Atlantic Treaty forces in Eur- ope.

The big problem at North Luf- fenhnm has been accommodation. Sqdn.-Ldr. Andrew' MacKenzie of Montreal. 31-year-old veteran fighter pilot who commands the Silver Foxes, will be one of the sttfferers. He brought his wife and four children with him.

Yesterday morning the gale was still howling and piling the pow- derv- snow into drifts so deep that even the Provincial Government plows gave up the unequal task and officials decided to wait for the end of the storm.

Three of the plows started out yesterday but they made so little progress in the face of difficulties that they returned to the garage here. one of them went across the llillsborough Bridge and later had serious trouble in exlricatlng it- selt from heavy drifts. Another started for Falconwood Hospital. It also ran into more snow than it could handle and gave up the task.
