Allies Call Red Charge A Fraud
An unidentified plane dropped flares over the U N advance cease fire base near Kaesong in Korea. Allies labeled the latest Red claim of a U N bombing raid a fraud, citing suspicious crater size, knowledge of Nam Il residence, and tape recorder objections as signs of a staged incident. An on site probe by U S Air Force Col A J Kinney found the aircraft was not a U N command plane and suggested Nam Il’s home location was known to the attackers.
