Congress, an organization which
the Attorney General has cited as

the jury were investigating four

the Reds. In the past they have
refused adamantly to allow OBJ
servers behind their lines and
have insisted ON the right to build
up their armed strength while an
armistice is in force.
The surprise compromise plan
Immediately drew from Allied en-
voyS more than a score of search
ing questions.
The big one-an Allied spokes-
man called it the $64 question
was what neutral nations do the
Communists have in mind to
police the truce?
Will Furnish Replies.
The Communists said they
would answer 81 questions posed
by the United Nations command
when the negotiators meet in
IPanmunjom at II am. Tuesday
g pm. EST. Monday.
The offer to permit inspection
teams behind Communist lines
was the Reds biggest concession,
even though they stipulated that
any such inspection should be
limited to mutually agreed upon
ports of entry"
The Reds sprang their surprise
proposal at an afternoon session
Monday. At Mondays morning
meeting the two sides appeared
deadlocked on the problem of
supervising an arnistice.
The 1854 question"-which ma
tions the Communists consider
neutral-might prove a major
stumbling block.
Among countries officially neu-
trail in the Korean war are such
Russian satellites as Czecho-
slovakia, Poland and the Balkan
nations-not to mention the So
Wet Union itself.
On the other hand, there are
relatively few Western countries
which have not participated di-
rectly in the war or supported the
Allies through votes in the United
Nations.
i Neither Would Add Troops.
Specifically, the Communist
plan for breaking the deadlock
over supervising the armistice
provides:
| l. Neither side would introduce
into Korea "any military forces
weapons and ammunition under
any pretext during an armistice. ;
i 2. Both sides agree to ask rep
resentatives of nations neutral in
) the Korean war to form an organ
ization responsible for inspecting
such ports of entry in the rear
as mutually agreed upon" and to
report to joint armistice COM
lmission.
The United Nations command
interpreted ports of entry to NEAR
seaports, airports and rail anC
q highway centers.
Y After handing Communist ne.

SEOUL, Korea. Dec. Sit looks
as If the Communists can have
an unofficial but very real cease
fire on the Korean ground front
any time they want it.
According to information now
available to the Associated Press
all they have to do is follow four
conditions:
l. Stop all attacks on Allied po-
sitions:
2. Keep their artillery and NOR
tars quiet and out of sight.
3. Send out nothing more than
small scouting patrols and keep
"a tight leash on these.
4. Keep their heads down.
II the Reds fall in with these
four points, the frontline shooting
war in Korea will come to an al
most complete, if informal and
possibly temporary stop.
1t is necessary to insert the word
almost" for two reasons:
l. Since it is not a formal
agreement reached by both sides
1t can be changed or reversed or
a moments notice.
2. Since it Is not an ironclad
agreement inforced by strict or
ders, there is nothing to prevent
an occasional lapse into shooting
scrape. Such a slip might come
on either side from a misunder-
standing of the enemy's move
ments. Or it might come as q
reflex action to sudden surprise
as when two nervous and trigger
conscious patrols bump into each
other on a dark night.
But aside from an occasional
accident, Communist understand.
ing and acceptance of the -four
points would bring about a de
facto cease-fire in the precise
sense Of the word.
AS far as any one knows, the
Allied high command has not tole

words-either at Panmunjom OF
anywhere else.
