Korean Unity Plans
Revealed by Russia
In Press Item June 10
By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The
New York Times said yesterday in
a dispatch from Washington that
the Soviet government gave the
world IS days notice of plans to
unite all of Korea under a single
Parliament by August Is.
The Times said the warning was
carried in Izvestia, official news
paper of the Soviet government,
which on June 10 outlined the pro-
gram of the North Korean Com
munists for holding general elec-
tions throughout North and South
Korea between August S and 8.
The North Korean Patriotic
Front was quoted as saying:
"On the fifth anniversary of the
liberation of Korea. the people of
South and North Korea can and
should mark this day by celebrat-
ing it in the folds of one united
democratic state.
1--WE have never considered and
shall never consider the 38th
parallel as a state boundary. The
Korean people in the south and in
the north are impatiently waiting
for the liberation of their country.
They wish to live in state united
politically, economically and cul-
turally." 80 '",' ~ ~.
There was no mention Of plans
by North Koreans to invade South
Korea. But, the Times said. the
Northern Communists outlined an
ambitious detailed program with
a. short time limit and attached
conditions they knew South Korea
political leaders could not accept.
The northern group said pre-
vious> appeals for peaceful unity
of the country had failed and that
these conditions should not be al
lowed to continue beyond the fifth
anniversary of liberation.
The Times said there was no
prospect that the North Koreans
could have control of Seoul un-
less they took it by military force,
but the election program called
for the new National Assembly to
meet there August Is.
The knowledge of Izvestia's ar
ticle became available in Wash
ington only Monday. The Times
obtained a translation of it at the
Library of Congress.
