Red truce negotiators said a U.N. plane bombed @ North Korean prison camp at Kangdong Monday night. The site is 18 miles north- east of Pyongyang, Red Korean | capital. and 1,591 South Koreans were listed as prisoners at Kangdong. An official spokesman for Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s headquar- ters in Tokyo said tactical reports | of air operations were being stud- ied “to determine whether there is any truth to the Communist allegations. The Reds did not invite the Allies to come see for themselves, as | they have done in their,reports of air attacks in the truce zone pro- tected areas. The Red report was made by North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho at Tuesday’s fruitless negotia- tions on exchanging prisoners of war, The only American listed as a POW at the camp was Sgt: Tada- ‘shi-Kaneko -of: the ‘First> Cavairy Division. There was nothing to indicate he might have been a casualty. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby ack- now.edged Lee's report but made no comment.
