Ridgway agreed today to a preliminary cease-fire conference on the Korean battlefield Sunday and Red sources said the Communists would help speed up an armistice by avoid* ing political issues. The Communist-controlled news paper Ta Kung Pao, gSherally re garded as Red China's mouthpiece in Hong Kong, said the Commun ist negotiators would not make any political demands at the truce conference. The newspaper said all specula tion about the possibility that the Reds would try to hamstring the cease-fire talks with political issues was “entirely unnecessary.” REDS CLAIM SINCERITY It denied that the Communist i armistice move was a ruse to cover preparations for a new offensive and said the Reds are sincere in “desiring the fighting to as soon as possible. . .’’ Allied authorities have predicted from the start that a quick agree ment on a cease-fire could be reach ed if the Chinese and North Ko rean Reds did not drag in such po litical questions as the future of ' Formosa and China’s seat in the UN. Ridgway today sent the Com- I munists his agreement to a p.-“ltn"i , nary cease-fire conference to be held Sunday and at the same time demanded “positive assurance” of safe-conduct for the Allied delega tion. The supreme United Nations com manders’ request for a safe-conduct guarantee was the first Indication of official concern thakthe'cease-, fire talks might be a .Communist ftUWiP However, the Reds were expected to give Ridgway the guarantee he asked and follow it up with details of their own delegation’s planned trip to the 38th Parallel no-man’s land city of Kaesong for the pre liminary conference.
