'. N. ADVANCE HEADQUART- FRS, Korea, July 25, -lR-- Com munist cease-fire negoiators today advanced a new proposal on with drawal of foreign troops from Kor- ea. A United Nations spokesman called it reasonable in content and phraseology"
 Brig. Gen. William Nuckols, who attended today's sessions, said the new Red proposition was more temperate and reasonable in tone' than previous Communist demands.
 Officially the '. N. team said the new Chinese and North Korean suggestion on troop withdrawals was sufficiently interesting fer allied delegates to propose long over night recess for further study.
 Neither Nuckob nor the U. N. communiquc indicated exactly how the Reds had modified their de- mand.
 But NuckOls Sald IL required % minutes to read.
 The five Communist generals brought out their new plan after a three-day recess. They had asked for the recess Saturday to consult with their governments on the troop withdrawal demand which had threatened to break up dis cuSsions.

Before presenting his revised sug- gcstion at todays ninth meeting, Korean Gen. Nam II asked for and received a further clarification of United Nations opposition to the original Red demand. This was done in 53-minute morning session.
 Then, in the afternoon General Nam presented the new idea.
 After a recess, a rapid fire eX- change followed between General Nam and Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, head of the U. N. delegation.
 This clarified just what the Com munists were driving at. Joy then suggested adjournment until to- morrow afternoon for full study of the new idea by the allies.
 To make sure there was no mist ake, each side supplied the othet with key portions of their positions in writing.

 Nuekols said these were the first written exchanges between the op- posing delegations in nine days of meetings.
