UN Airplanes Fly Over China Claim
Communist negotiators shouted lie in a heated exchange over prisoner exchange and accused Allied planes of flying over cities in northeast China on Sunday.

Reds charged air patrols over Mukden and Wushien but provided no attack details. A Panmunjom U N spokesman called the charge similar to other allegations and irrelevant to the meeting.
