Reds Delay Truce Talks;
Korean Tension Mounts
MUNSAN, Korea,
leader Mao Tze-Tung today called on the United States to settle the
Korean question by “peaceful” means, but Red. leaders in Korea
still failed to agree to immediate resumption of truce talks.
The delay caused tension to mount at United Nations command
advanced headquarters. Liaison officers of both sides signed a pre
liminary agreement Monday. The
UN, truce delegation ratified it
but the Reds haven’t acted,
There was speculation that the
communist truce team, set up in
Kaesong,-was waiting for instruc
tions from Peiping and probably
Moscow on what to do next.

— (JP) —Gen. Matthew B. Ridg

nounced the Communists have
accepted the Panmunjom agree
ment for immediate resumption
of the Korean cease-fire talks.
The full delegations will'meet
at 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m.,

> A Peiping radio English lan
guage broadcast quoted Mao as
saying: “The -«gL' tr

peacefully.”
A more brii
ling version c
the same broad
cast, translated Mao Tzc-Tuuk
from Chinese, to Japanese to
English by Tokyo monitors,
quoted Mao as saying China must
carry on the resistance move
ment “until America accepts our
peace proposal.”
Apparently the Reds were
caught off base Monday by the
swift Allied ratification of secur
ity agreements for reopening the
talks at Panmunjom. Only the
Communist failure to. sign the
security agreements stands in the
way of immediate resumption of
the talks.

liners as well as cargo ships.
He joined a three-man panel

In British Elections

people today to give him a chance to help prevent World War 111.
He said: “It is the last prize I seek to win.”

election. he would restore Amer
ican “confidence and goodwill”

the salvation of the world at this
moment may well depend,”
Churchill declared in a campaign
speech at Plymouth.

six years of Labor rule the great
majority of.,the British people
are better off than they ever
were before.
Conservatives Complain
Laborites complained that the
Conservatives were using left
wing Labor leader Aneurin Bevr
■an as a bogey man. Bevan’s
speches sometimes have an anti-
American- ring.'
Conservatives complained that
the Laborites were whispering
that a government under Chur
chill would make sharp cuts in
the social services. The Conser
vatives were even angrier over
the accusation that they are war
mongers.

Fire
into
CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 23— (/P)— Police fired into unruly mobs in
Alexandria and used tear gas to disperse other crowds which roamed
the streets of Cairo today in anti-British demonstrations:
One demonstrator was reported. killed in Alexandria, where
police charged with clubs and then used their guns when a crowd
of several thousand refused to break up.
Interior Minister Fuad Serag Ed-Din Pasha told reporters
traitors and criminals had infil
trated into demonstrations plan
ned as a day of mourning for
Egyptian “martyrs”. They were
killed in a week of riots and
clashes with the British over the
Suez Canal Zone and the Sudan.

Cross Bridge
Pact Would
Ban Israel,
Arab States
PARIS, Oct. 23 —(£>)— Israel
and the Arab states are being ad
vised formally that they will not
be invited at this time to become
members of the Middle East de
fense command, authoritative
sources said today.
The ambassadors of France,
Britain, the United States, and
Turkey— founder-members of the
new command—were scheduled
to communicate this decision
verbally to the foreign ministers
of the nations concerned.
This follows the refusal of
Egypt, one of the seven Arabs
states, to go along with the com
mand which proposed joint de
fense of the Suez Canal by Egypt,
Britain, the United States, France,
and Turkey. The other Arab
states are Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Le
banon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.
These nations are being told
that despite Egypt’s refusal to
join, the creation of the command
is proceeding.
Most of the Arab states backed
up Egypt’s, action including her
scrapping of the 1936 Anglo-
Egyptian treaty. With the West
ern Powers aligned in denounc
ing the one-sided Egyptian treaty
action, there appeared little com
mon ground left upon which the
Arabs and the West could meet in
a defense effort.
