About the most important new el.eraent aclded was the publication in
several papers of the co-npiete report of the f:lndins of the Investigating
Commission of the International Association of Democratic Jurists, of
which a part was devoted to cbernical warfare in Korea and North China
Consequently the vagueness noted in the report issued for the first
period, as regards the effect of the alleged attacks upon the areas and
upon vegetation and upon personnel, has been replaced by "specific" and
"indisputable" evidence. Y?
Finally, during the second two-week period Fast European propagandists
attempted to develop more fully than had been the, case in the first
period/, the theme that the US Army in Korea is guilty of genocide, and
that those responsible for attempt ink; the mass destruction of the Korean
population must eventually be tried as war criminals.

Report of the findings of the investigating Coxnrnission of the IATJJ the
text of which contains the following relative to the use of chemical warfare;
"since 6 May 191, American planes have several times dropped asph xiatw
is g gas and other chemical warfare weapons. The town of Nampho /Msic7 was
several times bombed on 6 May 1951. During the last attack, when the popu.-
lati.on hid in air rLdd shelters, 3 I3-29s had dropped chemical bombs on four
localities. The committee studied the finclirigs of autopsy performed on the
victims who had died of asphyxiation.H
'In the areas affected by the gas the, grass became yellovr-brown, copper
objects turned blue--green, and silver rings became black. These objects were
inspected by the commission, r,
"On 6 Ju:Ly 1951, after American jetflew over the village of punpori,
south of 1Konsan, gas and other chemical substances were spread over
an area 100-200 meters 'in dimension. The nature of the chemical substance
could riot be determined. 1~lherever these substance were spread, round white
Scots appeared on 10 percent of.the crops and especially on loaves of legumi-?
nous plants. `ihe spots wee one centimeter distance from one another."
110ri 1 August 191,. one bomb, was dropped on the village of Zsonszugri
L&t and one on the village of Voncsholri _ ic7 both located in llvanho / is
province. The bombs burst in the air accompanied. br unusually little noise
After the burst', black fumes developed, which descended on the' ground and be-
came yel:Low- green. Four persona died due to poisoning. The grain crap was
