dicted that a possible armistice in
Korea may be followed by efforts
to reach wider agreement of deep

These officials noted that from
Peiping in particular have come
yelled hints that the Comnunists
want to reopen such questions as

the future status of Korea and
FormoSa.
II the Reds bring these issues
up in the prospective armistice
talks at Kaesong. officials said.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway already
has been instructed to refer them
to Washington for consideration
after the Korean fighting has been
brought to an end.
The U. N. allies were described
as determined that the talks at
Kaesong must be limited to mill
tary matters. Their reported plan
is to bar any package deal" and
continue fighting until formal
armiStice terms are agreed on and
