' THE RECORD GETS RESULTS Two Plans For Truce Offered United Nations SEOUL, Korea (IP) President Syngman Rhee, in a strong retreat from his a damant stand on a truce, dropped today his demand for the removal of all Chinese Communists from Korea as one of his prices for peace. Rhee told a crowd of 300,000 per sons massed in capitol square on the third anniversary of the Ko rean war that he had given the United Nations two blueprints for an armistic, and they could take their choice. Originally, he said, he insisted on withdrawal of all foreign forces from Korea, including some 1,000,- 000 Chinese, as once proposed by the Communists and rejected by the United Nations. Rhee said he still opposed the presence of the Chinese on Ko rean soil after the armistice is settled, but believed this issue could be settled by negotiation. His original proposal also called for a mutual security pact with the United States following an armistice and a three-month time limit on a political conference’s attempt to unify Korea. Rhee said the United States did not accept his plan, so he sub mitted an alternate proposal which dropped the demand for removal of foreign troops. SECOND PROPOSAL “Consequently, as a second pro posal, we suggested that the dur ation of a political conference to dome be limited to three months and If no settlement is matte dur ing that period the conference it self be called off and we again enter Into the state of war,” Rhee “In parallel with this we also, i equested that a mutual security s pact ba signed “Rriweeit the; Re public of Koraa tee United States, ensuring that svhenever Tea to tovadedMOgala the United States will come to aid as she did before,” he skid Observers here believed that Rhee was trying to clear the way for an agreement to break the cris is Which started when he released 27,000 North Korean aniti-Com 'C*n tin sell On Pace twai London Strangler 3 Ordered To Hang LONDON (W John R.
