Freed Pilots Fly To Hawaii (Continued From Page One) and called for the release of all UN personnel held since the Korean war. The release of the four airmen followed five months ofintensive diplomatic activity Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and diplomats of Britain, Sweden and India. Hammarskjold and Indian foreign policy expert V. K. Krishna Menon both made Peiping to see Chinese Premier Chou En-lai.

U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles yesterday sent messages to Hammarskjold and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru expressing his appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the fliers. UN officials a letter from Chou to Hammarskjold had raised hopes of early release for the remaining 11 fliers. Reports from Washington said Menon also had ad- New Efforts United Authoritative sources revealed today that United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold has renewed his efforts to obtain the release of 11 U.S.

airmen still held as spies in Red China. Hammarskjold, it was learned, has sent Communist China's Premier Chou En-lai a new message requesting the release of the 11 remaining fliers. vised the State Department that the freeing of the four airmen was only the first step the Peiping regime plans to ease Far East tensions and improve relations the United States. The four released men were captured individually after being shot in combat. The Red Chinese, said all were taken Manchuria.

U. S. military authorities said they had been downed in North Korea while on missions near the border. Red China has maintained that her soldiers fighting in volunteers and Korea, Manchuria, therefore, was a neutral country, immune to attack. UN airmen fighting in the Korean war were under orders not to cross the Red Chinese frontier.

But officers said many air battles were so close to the border that a falling plane or parachute could have drifted across the Yalu River into Manchuria. The Peiping radio broadcast disclosing the release of the four said all had flights across the Yalu "under orders" to attack Red Chinese aircraft or to "perpetrate harassing and provocative activities." "After capture," it added, "all the defendants admitted the facts given above." ADMITTED 'CRIMES' "Taking into consideration the fact that the defendants were only carrying out the orders of the United States military authorities and have all admitted their crimes and expressed remorse since their capture, they are therefore being treated with leniency," the broadcast verdict said. Informed sources in New Delhi said Menon had told Western diplomats the Red Chinese were releasing only a small group of airmen because the United States had not given permission for all Chinese students at U. S. colleges to return home.

In Washington, however, the State Department said that every Chinese student in the United States who has expressed a desire to return to China has been cleared. The students were among several thousand Chinese attending American colleges and universities the Korean war broke out. Most of these, U. S. officials said, decided to stay in the United States.

Of those who, wanted to go home, persons who had received technical training which could have aided Peiping in waging war were temporarily barred from departing. It was learned that the Air Force had each of the four fliers fill in a form about his imprisonment and treatment and that at least one of them, Parks, read a carbon copy of a purported confession he had been forced to sign. TALK RESTRICTED The "confession" was on onion skin paper, and a wellplaced informant said Parks is believed to have obtained it at the time it was signed and kept it hidden. A highly placed source said the order against interviews had come from Washington. He said interviews may be restricted for at least several days, pending further questioning of the men by military officials at Honolulu.

At the Jockey Club, the men hurled their prisoner clothing into a corner and headed for hot showers, their first since capture, they said. Cameron saw a banjo on a shelf at the Jockey Club and yelled: "What shall we sing, boys?" One of the fliers, already in the shower, bellowed back. "Let's sing 'Cross Over the Cameron strummed the banjo and they all hummed, but nobody could remember any words but "Cross Over the Bridge." So they all burst out with that about every 15 seconds and then went back to humming. Triple Cities Area Obituaries MRS. CORA M.
