Dramatic Exposure Of
Extorted Germ
Warfare Confessions
FACTS PRESENTED TO
TO UN
New York, Oct. 26.
The United States charged today that Soviet "personnel" directed the extortion of confessions to waging germ warfare from captured American airmen in Korea.
Opening the debate in the Political Committee of the United Na- tions General Assembly, Dr Charles Mayo, of the United States, said that in some cases the confessions of the airmen were made after the Korean armistice was signed.
He submitted sworn statements from the fliers made after their repatriation.
"Does this not raise a question in our minds?" the United States repre- sentative asked, "How seriously do the Communists take the armistice agree ment? Their guns cease firing but still to the very moment of répatriation they torture the bodies and minds of prisoners to get ammunition for their spurious propaganda war."
Dr Mayo, an eminent American physician, sald that the confessions from the airmen were obtained by the scientific method of the "conditioned reflex" developed by the Soviet biologist, Pavlov,
