 Talks Limited
 The Red radio said eventual so- lution of the Korean problem should be left to the Korean people them selves.
 However, the Kaesong talks. as the LIN viewpoint was outlined by Admiral Joy will be restricted en- tirely to military matters.
 Tn his opening statement he called on the five Red generals to show good faith in the negotiations and pledged the LIN delegation would do the same. This, the admiral said, would generate an atmosphere of confidence"

 1. Political and economic mat ters of any kind.' That includes the question of LIN seat for Commun- ist China.
 2. Military matters unrelated to Korea" This ruled out Formosa and other trouble spots.
