New Sife Is Proposed Tor Truce Talks
 Communist Liaison
 Officers Taken 10 Ask
 in Official Statement

TOKYO, Friday-tR-The Allies suggested Thursday resuming ne- gotiations for a Korean armistice at a village in No-Man's-Land, with demarcation of buffer zone as the first order of business.
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's pub- lie information office followed this move with a statement that the Reds may be trying to force the United Nations to break off the talks "out of sheer illustration and futility."
 The statement was issued a few hours after the Supreme Allied Commander made a proposal de- signed to get the suspended talks restarted. Ridgway suggested new conference site in No-Mans-Land where delegates could resume dis cussions of item two of the agenda- location of military buffer zone.
 The headquarters release took Communist liaison officers to task for refusing to discuss anything but a time and date for a new meeting.
 -"The significance of this is obvious" the statement said. "The Reds at the present time are re- sponsible for the calling off of the truce talks such a turn of events does not help their so- called peace offensive which has been going on for many months now."
 The site Ridgway proposed is near the village of Songhyon, six miles southeast of Kaesong.
 Red China's Peiping radio to- night called Ridgway's proposal an attempt to escape from responsi- bility for the air and ground viola tions of the neutral zone," the broadcast quoted Communist newsman c. T. Sim of the Reds Telepress.
 The broadcast said Ridgway has flor the third time dashed the hopes of the world for the resumption of the Kaesong armistice conference.

corning personnel should be

counsel should earn at least as
much. If not twice as much, as a
