is signed within 30 days.
A United Nations command

semblance as superficial
But the commands official
spokesman. Brig. Gen. William P.
Euckols, said if the Red plan
means what we think it means
,. then I think we are very
close to solution" of the buffer
zone question.
The point in doubt was whether
the Communist proposal means
that troops will be withdrawn
from the buffer zone after an
armiStice is signed as the Unit
ed Nations has proposed.
Time Element Uncertain.
After the Communists submitted
their counterproposal at Panmun-
JON at Wednesdays two-hour
truce session, Allied negotiators
tried to determine whether the
Reds contemplated an immediate
or delayed withdrawal from buff
fer zone to be created along the
present front.
At the close of the session Mai.
Gen. Henry I. Hodes, heading the
United Nations subcommittee, told
the Red delegates I'VE will present
you with the necessary revisions
to clear up this proposal" at
Thursdays meeting. 1t is set for
ii am. g pm. Wednesday, EST i,
At Panmunjom Gen. Nuckols
said there were traces of funda-
mental differences between the
Allied and Red proposals. He said
the Communist plan contained
rather ambiguous and vague
phraseology." But at a later brief
ing for the press in Munsan he
said:
Il am more optimistic than !
have been for some time past.
The basic point at issue is when
the buffer zone will be cleared of
troops"
Will Continue Fighting.
Under questioning of Gen. Hodes,
North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Song
Cho said "the troops will be with
drawn after the agreement is
signed"
He did not say whether he re-
ferred to the cease-fre line pro-
posal now before the subcommit-
tees or to the final armistice
agreement. And United Nations
delegates did not ask. They are
expected to clarity this Thursday.
Both sides agree fighting will
continue until a final armistice
is reached. But to insure this,
the United Nations command
wants the agreement to say specifi-
cally troops will not be Withdrawn
from the proposed demilitarized
area until all truce terms are
settled.
In submitting the Communist
counterproposal, Lee said:
I'VE agree in principle to your
proposal. However, we consider
the form not proper or suitable
for final agreement. Also, we hold
different views with respect to GER

One of these details was the AL

vided the demilitarized zone must

that is PROVISIONAL"
After the United Nations COM
mand subcommittee had studied
the Red plan for hours, Gen.
Nuckols said:

New Attack Predicted.
Red ground forces showed more
fight than usual. But by late aft
ernoon there was still no sign of
their expected anniversary Of
fenSive.
Allied officers, noting an omi-
nous enemy buildup in the west,
had predicted a limited Commu-
