Tokyo—(U.R.)The Chinese Communists today accused American pilots of bombing their own men in North Korea prison camp in "reprisal" because two captured pilots supposedly "confessed" to carrying out germ warfare.
The charge was regarded in Far East airforce headquarters here as too ridiculous for comment.

Admiral Relieved Of Truce Duties
Panmunjom, Korea—(U.P.) - V i e Admiral C. Turner Joy, in his final week as head of the United Nations truce delegation, called Communist negotiators "out and out" liars today.
Joy lashed out at Communists for their ambiguous stand on the screenings of war prisoners while Supreme UN Commander Gen Mark W. Clark was announcing in Tokyo that the admiral would be relieved next Friday as chief truce delegate.
The announcement had been expected ever since the Navy department disclosed that Joy would leave his concurrent post of commander in chief of Naval forces in the Far East to become superintendent of the U.S. Naval academy at Annapolis June 9.
The admiral will turn his truce assignment over to Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison Jr. and his naval command over to Vice Admiral C. Robert Briscoe, commander of the U.S. 7th fleet.
A. UN spokesman said Joy requested that he be relieved when the Communists refused the "final" Allied offer for ending the war.
Lt. Cmdr. Walter J. Ellis, Joy' press adviser, said:
Joy is the only one remaining of the original five-member UN delegation that began negotiating with the Communists last July 10. All others have been reassigned.

Freshman Women Receive Award For Promoting Spirit of Brotherhood
The 1951-52 freshman women at North College and Corbin halls were presented the Kappa Alpha Psi Brotherhood Award at the fraternity's first Brotherhood Forum Sunday at Green Theater.
The award was a scroll for "doing the most during the past year to promote a true spirit of brotherhood at the University." It was presented by Freddie Anderson, fine arts sophomore and president of Kappa Alpha Psi.
Marjorie England and Betty Lu Gard, presidents of Corbin and North College halls, received the award.
Dr. Carl R. Johnson, NAACP leader, led a panel discussion on the
topic, "Should minority groups become more militant in their efforts toward equal rights," before the presentation of the award.
Other members of the panel were, Dr. E. Gordon Ericksen, assistant professor of sociology; Donald Hortor, college junior; Helen Maduros, education senior, and Cornelius Groves, college junior.
"I feel that frontal attacks by sincere American citizens are not clearly achieving anything we can measure or demonstrate." Dr. Johnson said in a talk preceding the discussion, "Using 'fighting words' is like filling a fire hose with gasoline, and fanning the flames of prejudice with more emotion."
He suggested that conflict be minimized through legislation that would solve some of the economic tensions of minority groups.
Grove, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, said that "the only way to arouse some people is to use a baseball bat."
All members of the panel seemed to agree with a statement by Hortor that the problem of minority relations is essentially a problem of ignorance vs. intelligence, and that there are different means to accomplish the same end.
Dr. Ericksen reminded the group that the different means could not be completely judged now because the "data was not all in."
