By United Press ; PANMUNJOM, Rorea, Dec. 31!

—The Communists promised to-

lans after the Korean armistice] Is signed, but they would not ad-| mit a United Nations charge they are holding 55 of .them, including 13 Americans. i

‘North Korean Gen. Lee Sang Cho said a list of 55 names sub-| “mitted by the United Nations did not come under the prisoner of war discussions here but prom-| ised to give the list to the “proper organization” for investigation.” The 55 included British and French diplomats who remained at their posts when Seoul fell, missionaries and educators. They have been held incommunicado for 18 months or more, presumably interned in North Korea.

Represent Seven Nations

The civilians, representing seven nations, are in addition to the 11,559 Allied prisoners of war the Communists listed. They included 25 French, 13 Americans, nine British, four Irish, two Belgians, one Australian and one Austrian,

Meanwhile the United Nations told the Communists that .there| can be no armistice in Korea un-| less they accept a ban on airfield | construction. |

United Nations negotiators handed down the virtual. ulti-| matum in accusing the Commu-| nists of seeking ‘‘not peace, but| war,” by demanding the right to| repair and build .airfields during a truce,

The prisoner subcommittee failed to make any progress in its attempts to arrange an exchange of war prisoners. It scheduled another meeting today.

|Expect U. S. To Rap Russ |On Ransoms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31—The | {United States will bring pressure directly on Russia to stop Comi iImunist satellite countries from "holding American citizens for “ransom,” diplomatic sources inJ dicated today. They said a stern warning to Moscow to keep its minions in check is considered the most. effective way to prevent a repetition of. Hungary's treatment of four United States airmen. - The fliers were released Friday after the State Department paid $120,000 in “fines” imposed on them for crossing the Hungarian frontier in an unarmed transport plane which lost its way on a flight from Germany to Yugoslavia. © Swift to Fly Home

One of the ransomed airmen, Capt. John Swift of Glens Falls, N. Y., was scheduled to fly here today en route to Syracuse, N, Y,, to see his ailing father, Plans called for Capt. Swift to 4 stop over in the capital for about 4 an hour to talk to newsmen about {his “interrogation” by Russian {and Hungarian officials. | High officials still were conferring over what further steps. this 'country should take to make {Hungary regret its venture in international “extortion.” n The State Department already (has retaliated against the Red [government by closing Hungarian {consulates in New York and banning travel of American citizens in Hungary. While no final decisions have been made on future strategy, a warning to Moscow was believed very likely.
