• 'Non-belligerent' Members
Aspistant Secretary of State
John p. Hickerson. called in the
Swiss, Swedish, ''and Norwegian
envoys to Washington yesterday.
In the words of one official he
"alerted them" on the possibility
that their governments' may be
- asked to assign officers to serve \
on the inspection teams in• event
of an armistice.
Hickerson was reported to have
told the ambassadors that the
United States prefers to describe
United, Nations members which
might 'serve' in this capacity as
"non-belligerent" in relation to
the Korean war rather than "neu
tral". The Communists in the
Panmunjon negotiations' have
been talking about teams .com
posed of representatives of "neu
tral" nations.
Quick Agreement
Hickerson also was reported to
have advised the 'envoys that,
theoretically at least, agreement
on remaining truce problems
could be reached quickly. He
stressed, however, that there
were still tremendous obstacles.
