First Attempted It is the first attempt to persuade the 22 Americans to change their minds and return home. The Allies have until Dec. 23 or 24 to talk with the balky POWs.
Dickenson was turned over to the U.N. Command Wednesday after telling Indian guards he was through with communism. He is to hold a news conference Monday in Tokyo and is expected to explain his action in detail then. Now In Munsan His letter to his former comrades is now in Munsan awaiting transmission through Indian command, which runs the POW compounds. "Boys, take my advice and come back to this side," Dickenson wrote in his 400-word letter.

I found out a lot of things about the Communists that you didn't know about," the letter continued. Back Pay "There is really pretty women here" and "there is plenty of money waiting for you boys."

Already her thick steel hull is being packed with the fission-fired steam plant that is expected to send the USS Nautilus farther, faster and deeper than any submarine ever built. Navy officials overseeing the building of the Nautilus at the electric boat division of General Dynamics Corporation tell reporters that the atom sub is "well over 50 per cent complete." But reporters made what they were told was the first and probably last inspection of the interior of the Nautilus Friday found that statement conservative. Conservative also was the comment of Capt.

The Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission is scheduled to make an annuoncement Monday that a reliable source said would postpone indefinitely the stalled explanations. Only agreement by the Korean POWs to hear the Red explainers would break the deadlock and it appeared unlikely that the Indians could coax the Koreans to agree before the commission announcement is made. Was Put Off The announcement was to have come Saturday, but was put off until giving the Indian command two more days to talk with the stubborn leaders of the anti-Red Korean POWs. The explanations were halted last Monday when the Koreans refused to leave their compounds to be interviewed by Communist agents. Polish and Czech members of the commission demanded that Indian custodial troops use as much force as necessary to herd the POWs to the explanation tents.
Voted Against The Swiss, Swedish and Indian delegates voted against using force. That's the problem facing Indian Lt. Gen. K. S.
Thimayya, chairman of the commission--to get the POWs to listen and thus heal the breach that threatens the Korean truceliable sources said Thimayya's job seems almost insurmountable.

To Be Returned His request was approved by the repatriation commission. and he will be returned to the Allies Sunday.

To Meet Newsmen Flown to Tokyo for medical examination, Dickenson is to hold a press conference Monday--his second since leaving Indian custody. In his first meeting with news- men, Dickenson said he did not believe in communism, but refused to answer questions as to whether the Reds had forcibly held him back from repatriation. Meanwhile, the first shipment of mail for the 22 remaining Americans was sent to the Indian command by the UNC. Indians said it would be handed over to the men as a matter of course. At least five letters were addressed to each man.
