In' a speech, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. V i s h ins ky hinted ominously at events to come in southeast Asia.

Agenda Makes Provision ' - In Washington, American offi cials shied' away from the Soviet proposal. Diplomatic authorities in the U.S: capital thought such a session would -worsen the pros pects of peace in Korea. The armistice agenda already provides in its fifth and final point for recommendations, to the governments of both sides, on such questions as ultimate with drawal of troops from Korea. This: implies a higher-level conference after a military armistice is agreed upon. Peiping Radio Charges However, the last agenda' item has not reached the formal dis cussion stage. Negotiators have struggled more than a month to settle the terms for prisoners ex change and truce supervision. Bitter wrangling continued Thurs day on both issues. The Communist charged over the Peiping radio that the UN command "tried to bluff our side into accepting their unreasonable demands by threatening to break up the negotiations." The Red version did not jibe , with the Allied account of the meeting which made no such ref erence. The Red Peiping radio blasted the latest Allied prisoner plan as an American attempt to "horse trade in human flesh." Quoting Red correspondents, the broadcast, accused the Allies of plotting to detain more than 60,000 Korean and , Chinese military prisoners and 100,000 Others and turn them over to South Korean "torture squads."

"Dear Phil" Philip Murray Truman Asks Strike Cancellation Atlantic City, .Tan. 3-- VP) President Truman asked the CIO steelworkers anew today to can cel any steel strike plans, and the union gave every indication it will comply. A message from Mr., Truman addressed to "Dear Phil" Mur ray, head of the CIO and the steelworkers union, was read to a specially-summoned union con vention empowered to ac t on strike - plans. Murray was reported ready to recommend that the nearly 3000 delegates erase• the walkout threat. It was considered certain the- convention would foll o w Murray's wish, at least, until the wage stabilization board suggests a , compromise solution to the un ion's unsettled wage demands. Murray's recommendation on what course the union should take, and the convention action on that recommendation, was put over until tomorrow's final ses sion. For more t11.4n three hours this afternoon convention - delegates, one after another, arose to criti cize sharply industry bargaining tactics. They called for revision of many contract clauses to cor rect what they termed serious recurring grievances in the steel mills. Individual delegates gaining the floor said they were willing to "hit the bricks," or strike, but felt it would be best to avoid a walkout now as Mr. Truman has asked to see what the WSB de cides: Murray said the decisign on further postponing a strike was for the convention, not him, to make. • "I'm not boss," he said Rec Hall Addition Progress Called 'Slow' Construction of the addition to Recreation Hall has been rather slow, according to Walter Wei gand, director of the physical plant.

Mur phy of New York once accepted and later turned down appoint ment to head an investigation of corruption-in-government charges.
