27—The Communists threat-|
ened today to unleash their
million-man army in North, Korea agfinst the Eighth Army,
of the United Nations in retaliation for the “massacre” of Red prisoners on Koje Island. North Korean Gen. Nam Il,
senior Red delegate, delivered the}
gravest threat of renewed fullscale bloody warfare since the truce negotiations began last July 10.

He told the United Nations the § North Korean and Chinese sol- §
diers massed in front of the 155-
mile Allied defense line could not §
“sit by” while Communist prison-
ers of war were being “slaugh-
tered” on Koje. The warning brought varied reactjons from United Nations officials, The Chief United Nations spokesman, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, described it as a military threat. Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison, new Allied senior delegate, said it was “propaganda.” Gen. Nam II's threat came as Allied troops on the western front were alerted for a possible Red
attack down the classic “Uijong-,
bu Corridor” of invasion leading to Seoul. - A Communist attack pummeled United Nations outposts 50 miles

More Deaths On Koje Bared
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, May 27 (UP)-—The deaths of 15 more Communist war prisoners in clashes with Allied guards on turbulent Koje Island were disclosed today. These brought the over-all total of Communist prisoners killed by guards or by their fellow prisoners on Koje to at least 238. Dr. Stephen Gelenger of Flint, Mich., commander of the United
Reds in
Nations hospital on Koje, said the]
15 previously unreported deaths occurred in scattered minor clashes with guards'over a period of weeks. All major outbursts had been reported earlier, he said. He put the total number of prisoners known to have been killed in«fights with Allied guards at 123. Another 115 were known to have been “executed” by fellow prisoners after “trials” before Communist kangaroo courts within the prison compounds, he said. An uneasy peace today prevailed in the compounds holding some 80,000 prisoners, most of them last-ditch Communists. Prisoners still - held daity “bayonet drills” inside the compounds, United Nations guards watched them practice broomsticks, steel - tipped poles and wooden bayonets
mounted on dummy rifles. How-|
ever, a steady rain prevented the Reds from hoisting their forbidden flags and propaganda banners today. The dyes ran.

By BEN KAPLAN
Seripps-Howard Staff Writer MINERAL ‘WELLS, Tex., May 27--Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) was held personally responsible today for what Jack Porter, this state's Eisen hower chairman, charges is a rank steal of Texas’ 38 national oavention votes." Mr. Porter said the action of the state Republican executive committee in-andll-day, all-night session which ended shortly before the state convention started, constituted "a national scandal.” The Taft-dominated state Republican executive committee threw out 484 Eisenhower state convention delegates. who had won county conventions by huge majorities, and substituted rival Taft delegations. ? i i The excuse given is that the pro-Eisenhower turnout was en-| gineered hy Democrats who had never voted Republican. The state executive committee gave orly 23 votes of the various contests to Gen. Eisenhower, Henry Zweifel, Texas national Republican committeeman and state Taft chairman. now has an apparent victory in the bag. In addition to the 484 “gift” delegates, he has 300 uncontested delegates pledged to Mr. Taft. There are a little more than 1000 delegates to the state convention.

Report ‘Prime Suspect’ In Alberta Green Case Located in Kentucky
By JOHN V. WILSON and DONNA MIKELS Police may “break” the long unsolved bludgeon slaying of Nurse Alberta Green within the next 24 hours, The Times, learned today. : Police sources would not verify they have cracked the six-year-old murder, one of the major unsolved crimes in Indianapolis history. But Prosecutor Frank Fairchild did confirm the Grand Jury is being called into special session tomorrow to hear evidence on what he would describe only as a “homicide case." “The grand jury will meet in emergency session and report at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow,” said the Prosecutor. “They are going to hear evidence of a homicide case—and that's “all I can say.” However, from other sources The Times learned that Indianapolis detectives - :
