ADVANCE BASE, Korea (IP Shortly after Allied and Red liaison officers today agreed on all "ground rules” for resumption of Korean truce talks, the Commu nists charged that an Allied plane attacked the Kaesong neutral area today. U. N. officers left immediately lor the zone to investigate. * The charge came in a radio telephone call from the Comnlunlst base camp in Kaesong at 1 p. m. 5 a. m. EST, three hours after accord had been reached for re suming the cease-fire talks on nearly every point except the size of the neutral zone around the new meeting site. THROWS NEW BLOCK Communist charges that' U. N. forces had violated Kaesong’s neu trality broke up the cease-fire talks in the first place on Aug. 22 and numerous Red complaints of other violations followed rapidly. The fresh complaint threatened to throw a new block against quick resumption of the cease-fire talks. Brig. Gen. William Nuckds, spokesman for the U. N. truoe dele gation. said the Communists never ! have given formal notice that the five-mile Kaesong neutral zone no longer exists and therefore "this gives us an implied obligation to respect it.” TO GET FACTS Nuckois said that because 4f darkness U. N. officers probably would be unable to do more tonight than get additional facts from the Reds and prepare for a full-scale investigation “if the preliminary reports bear out the statements.” Comedy, Revue SefAfAngier Rehearsals are under way for “Going Places,” local talent show being sponsored by the American Legion Post No. 436 of Angler to be presented at the Angler High School Auditorium Wednesday and Thursday nights, October 17 and 18th, for the benefit of their Build ing Fund.
