'Soviet Gave Help
To North Korea'
WASHINGTON-()-The Pen-
tagon accused Russia yesterday
f definitely masterminding the
Korean War.
It also said Russia put 6,000 to
12,000 troops into Korea in ad-
vance of the armistice and still
controls the North Korean govern-
ment through Soviet citizens.
Charges were leveled in a series
of documents, in the nature of a
White Paper, which the Defense
Department said were based on
"intelligence research and exam-
ination of many sources of infor-
mation."
The timing, thescontent and the
fact that it was the Pentagon
which released the documents ap-
peared to be an obvious effort to
draw a parallel between Soviet ac-
tivity in Korea and Chinese Com-
munist operations in Indochina.
Among other things, the docu-
ments stated that:
1) The top officials of North
Korea, including Kirki Ii Sung, who
became Premier in 1946, and Nam
Il, senior Communist delegate at
the Panmunjom armistice talks,
are "all Soviet citizens by birth"
and are "the Russians who run
the governmental apparatus of
North Korea."
2) By the end of last May--
nearly two months before the ar-
mistice-from 6,000 to 12,000 "Rus-
sian tactical troops" were in
Korea, in anti-aircraft units, med-
ium gun regiments and quarter-
master and rail outfits. About
1,300 Russians were employed
as staff and technical advisors
throughout North Korea. .
3. "Right down to the command-
ers of line units, orders were trans-,
mitted in Russian.
4. "Many Russian 'advisors' were
attached to the North Korean ar-
my advance headquarters estab-
lished in June, 1950.
5. "In the spring of 1951, Soviet
troops, together with some medical
and support units from other satel-
lites, began to filter into Northl
Korea.l
6. "In 1946 officers of Korean1
ancestry who had been trained by
the Chinese Communist army were
sent into North Korea to help
form units "being organized, train-
ed and equipped by Russian occu-
pation forces."

'M'Diamondmen Split
Doubleheader With MSC

It took five hours of baseball yesterday afternoon for the Wol-
verine nine to write "victory" in the record book as the squad fought

Michigan lost the first contest, 8-4; and came from behind in

McCARTHY-ARMY HEARINGS:
Conference on Charges
To Remain Confidential
WASHINGTON-(T)-A high Republican official predicted yes-
terday that the Administration will stick by its refusal to bare details
of a Jan. 21 Cabinet-level conference that paved the way for Army
charges against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.).
The official, who asked that he not be named, said he expects
the refusal to bring a fight with Democrats on the Senate sub-
committee investigating the Army-McCarthy issue.
* * * *
SEN. JOHN L. McCLELLAN (D-Ark.) and other Democrats have
demanded full information about the conference, which was attended

field house and a $300,000 football
pressbox.
Financed entirely out of foot-
ball receipts, the comprehensive
building program has been ap-
proved by the Board in Control
of Intercollegiate Athletics and
the Board of Regents.
Prof. Crisler said that construc-
tion of the men's pool and athletic
administration building will get
underway this summer with com-
pletion expected next spring.
He indicated that work on the
pressbox and fieldhouse will pro-
ceed as rapidly as funds become
available. Prof. Crisler also ex-
pressed the hope that the press-
box, which will be given priority
over the fieldhouse, can be started
within a year and the fieldhouse
within three years.

"UNIVERSITY enrollment is in-
creasing continually and we plan
to keep pace with it," the athletic
director said. "Michigan has al-
ways had the reputation of having
one of the finest athletic plants
in the country and we plan to keep
it that way. While some parts of
our plants have become outmoded,
our planned building program will
make Michigan second to none in
this respect."
The new pool, which will have
a seating capacity of 3,000 for
spectators at varsity meets, and
the athletic offices will be one
unit located just north of the
present athletic administration
building, with the office entrance
located at State and Hoover.
The pool will be built directly
against the east side of the Intra-
mural Sports Building, enabling
the new unit to utilize heating
facilities already available in the
Intramural Building.
To make room for the additions,
the Ferry Field track will have to
be moved several yards west of its
present location.
* * *
EVENTUALLY razed to make
room for the fieldhouse will be the
old athletic administration build-
ing. Its construction will almost
double the seating capacity for
basketball by raising it from the
present maximum of 8,000 to
15,000.
This new fieldhouse will also
enable Michigan to holdcham-
pionship indoor track meets, as
well as provide handball courts
and other facilities ° for intra-
mural athletics.
When questioned, Prof. Crisler
indicated that there was a possi-
bility the fieldhouse could also be
used for hockey,

West To Bid
For Cease
In Indochina
Vietminh Invade Key
Delta Post of Phuly
By The Associated Press
The Western Big Three huddled
secretly yesterday in Geneva to
prepare a firm bid for a quick
cease-fire i Indochina.
U.S. Under-Secretary of State
Walter Beddell Smith met last
night with Bfitain's Foreign Sec-
retary Anthony Eden after an ear-
lier conference with Eden and
French Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault.
* * *
NO INFORMATION was releas-
ed concerning the meetings, but
they were known to be mapping
strategy for the secret sessions to
be held with the Communist dele-
gations next week.
In Indochina, Vietminh mor-
tar and heavy machinegun fire
poured in on the key Red River
Delta defense post of Phuly, 30
miles south of Hanoi.
A French High Command
spokesman said yesterday the
Vietminh were heavily "harass-
ing" Phuly and were under in-
tense attack by French fighters
and bombers.
MEANWHILE in Paris, France
ordered three of her top generals
to Indochina to build a new strat-
egy to meet the expected onslaught
of Vietminh troops spurred by
their victory at Dien Bien Phu.
At the Geneva conference the
United States and France pro-
tested in letters to Soviet For-
eign Minister V. M. Molotov that
the Vietminh was going back on
its promise to release all wound-
ed, regardless of race and na-
tionality.
The French High Command an-
nounced last night it has "stopped"
all evacuation of French wounded
from Dien Bien Phu until the Viet-
minh repair the. fallen fortress'
main airstrip to permit Dakota
transports to land.

ON THE UN SCENE:
Israel-Jordan Dispute Aired

By SAM REICH
It was fairly quiet this week in
the United Nations as most of the
world focused attention on the Ge-
neva Conference and reflected on
the fall of Dien Bien Phu-.
Almost ignored was the bitter
strife between Israel and Jordan
which once again exploded into
violence. The UN sought to act on
this pressing problem, and also on
flt nthr mtt'P in the fialc of

several hours. The commission de-
nounced Israel's actions as being
"inconsistent" with their armis-
tice agreement.

IN FURTHER developments of
the Israel-Jordan dispute, the Se-
curity Council adjourned Wednes-
day to give its members time to
consider an Israeli demand that
Jordan accept in advance the ob-
ligations of a peaceful setlement.
The UN charter provides that all
non-member nations of the UN
who submit complaints must agree
to accept the obligations of a
peaceful settlement.
