Proposed lor
Truce Talks
TOKYO (IB pen. Matthew
B. Ridgway proposed today that
the Korean armistice talks be re
sumed “as early as passible” at a
tiny' village In the middle of no- :
man’s land.
The supreme United Nations
commander intervened directly, in
an attempt to get the truce talks
going again after U. N. and Com
munist liaison officers found them
selves deadlocked.
Ridgway addressed his proposals
to Oen. Kim II Bunn, North Korean
premier and coouttander-ln-ehief,
and Gen. Peng Teh-huai, Chinese
commander In Korea.
“I believe this proposal provides
for arrangements that can be mu
tually satisfactory to both our
sides,’.’ Ridgway tedd the Red com
manders. •
The Communist generals have re
jected one earlier Ridgway propos
al to shift the talks from Kaesong.
However, Ridgway on that occasion
did not specify any particular al
ternative site.
The U. N. commander’s new note
specifically suggested that the
truce talks be resumed "as early
as possible” in the vicinity of Song
hyon, eight miles southeast of Kae
song and approximately midway
between the battle tines on the
Western front northwest of Seoul.
Ridgway also propped Both
sides agree to keep armed troops
aifeiy from the meeting place and
eifercise of autfariig ever members

or from or duHqg meetings.

ance beginning Sunday. Every home

next 12 weeks, unless prevented bv
circumstances beyond my control.”
Every member of the church and

The “See You In Church Sun

Chrbtian fellowship, and prayer;,
and to seek to establish a Christian
world where social Justice, right

Its members.
