| By United Press |

PANMUNJOM, Korea, Wednesday, Dec. 19—The Communists handed ‘the United Nations yesterday the names of 3198 American and 8361 other ‘Allied prisoners they hold in 11 camps. | A B-26 was alerted to fly the names to Supreme Allied Headquarters

lin Tokyo for immediate publication. | But the plane was fogged in at Kimpo, the airport near Seoul, and it was said officially that it would not be able to take off before 5 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) Tuesday. a

Families of POWs:

HE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES will maintain a special telephone service for families of men missing in action or held as prisoners of war in Korea. The list of prisoners held by the Reds will start arriving in the United States in fragments, beginning around 8:30 p. m. today. As each new group of names reaches The Times through the United Press, it will be sent to a special Prisoner of War desk, where personnel will be available to answer your questions. However, Defense Department officials in"Washington said they could not vouch for the accuracy: of the Red's POW list. Checks will be made, of course, they said, but verification would take hours in some cases and in others even days. Up until 7:30 p. m,, call PL aza 5551 and ask | for the Prisoner of War Desk.

After 7:30, call LIncoln 7700 or PL aza 3030.

\prisoner list are all who are

listed officially by the Pentagon as missing in action since the Korean War started June 25, 1950. The 3198 total, at least 2000 lower than previously predicted, appeared to substantiate Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's estimate of Nov. 30 that nearly 6000 miss ling American troops had been murdered in Communist atricities, The Communists listed the 11 camps as follows; with Americans at Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5. 3 No. 1—~Changsong, 30 miles northeast of Sinuiju, near the Yalu River; No. 2—Pyokdong, 50 miles north of Sinuiju on the south bank of the Yalu; No. 3 Changsong; No. 4—Pyokdong; No. 5—Pyokdong; No. 6—Pyongyang, North Korean capital; No, T— Pyokdong; No. 8—Changdong, 18 miles east of Pyongyang; No. §— Pyongyang; No. 10—Chonma, 25 miles east of Sinuiju, and No. 11 —Pukchin, 80 miles northeast of Pyongyang and 35 miles south of the Yalu.
