The United Nations staff offi cers for the first time Thursday told .the Communists why Russia was unacceptable as" one of six neutral nations which would pro vide teams for supervising an ar mistice. It was Russia's "record of past participation" in Korea.

Rein forcements that came to the pa trol's rescue also were pinned down for a time.

NATO Ponders New Defense LISBON, Portugal, Feb. 21—(?P)—The Atlantic pact ministers pondered today the possibility of revamping European defense plans in the light of the shift of Soviet pressure to Asia. Foreign, defense, and finance ministers of the 14 member na tions of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) met here behind closed doors to hear top-level reports on the Soviet Union and its latest world policies. Cold War Slackens U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson was reported to have told the NATO council there are I good chances for a Korean ar mistice before spring. But, far from cheering the NATO part ners, Acheson's statement was said to have stirred up fears that such an .armistice will free the Communists to undertake new ad ventures elsewhere in Asia. Reports of increased Soviet at tention there and a slackening of Russian cold - war activities in Europe caused the ministers to consider at length the possibility of scaling down plans for 50 to 60 European divisions by the end of 1952 and nearly double that by the end of 1954.
