 To HaIi Talks
Communist Radio Chides Allies; Agree To NeutraIize City

SEOUL, Korea. Sunday, July l5-- tR- The Reds agreed today to re- move armed guards from Kaesong and admit 20 Allied correspondents. but want to talk over the rest of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's de- mands for resuming cease-fire talks. There was no immediate comment from Allied headquarters as to when the talks, broken off since Wednes- day, might be resumed.
 The Peiping radio mildly chastised the Allies in today's broadcast of the Communist message.
 Text of the reply to Ridgway's de- mands of Friday said the conces- sions were made "to eliminate mis- understanding and arguments over some side questions
 It called the issue of admitting Allied correspondents too "trifling' to break up talks which so far have mot yet achieved any result"
 Issues raised by Rideway which the Reds would leave to settlement by mutual discussions included the area of the Koesong neutral zone, methods of facilitating free move ments in and out. and the number of personnel to be admitted
 The text was first broadcast Sat urday by the North Korean Pyong- yang radio in Korean, and then by Peiping today in English under a Pyongyang dateline as received from our correspondent
 Ridgway's Headquarters said:
 There will be no comment until we have received q properly au- thentieated message"
 However. convoy members at the LIN peace camp were told to be ready at am. Sunday @ pm. Sat- urday. PDTD to leave for Kaesong :. on one hours notice. Among them were the 20 correspondents that Red guards tried to cut out of the convoy Thursday, precipitating the armis- tice crisis.
 The Pyongyang broadcast was re- corded by Japanese monitors of Kyodo News Service at 9 pm. A am. PDT). That was B hours after the JUN broke off negotiations Thursday when Chinese guards re- fused to allow 20 newsmen to con- tinue with LIN convoy of which they were an official part.
 The Pyongyang broadcast was ad dressed to Ridgway and signed by | the two top Reds in Korea .- Gen. Kim Il Sung. North Korean premier, and Gen.
