New York Jail Visit List Tangles Dewey Wicks Crisis

Fay, ex-IEU vice president, was convicted of extortion related to the Delaware aqueduct project.

The United Nations today declined to extend beyond the December 24 deadline the explanation period for war prisoners who refused repatriation. Gen. Mark Clark, retiring UN commander, said the alliance would not break faith with anti Communist POWs.

In Seoul, South Korea’s President Syngman Rhee condemned the bloodshed and warned India to curb acts of murder, while Cho Chung Whan urged India to side with North Korea and Chinese Communists. Clark and his successor Gen. Hull concluded a Korea tour urging front-line troops to distrust the Communists and stay ready.
