Armisiice in Korea
By May | Expected
By Officials Here
By John M. hiohtoWer

Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer
Officials guiding truce negotla-
tions in Korea said yesterday an
.armistice probably will be agreed
on fairly soon, possibly by May /.
The chief reason for this new
optimism in Washington is the
belief that a solution will be found
for the United Nations-Commu-
mist deadlock over release of pri-
.soners of war.
The issue has been under active
study in both Allied and Com
muniSt capitals, as we'll as in
closed sessions of truce negoti-
ators at Panmunjon, it was re-
ported.
Formula Shaping Up.
It is understood that a formula
has been evolved, but not yet fully
agreed to, which would:
/. Avoid forcible return to North
Korea and China of prisoners held
by UN forces.
2. Assure release of American
and Allied prisoners by the Reds
and
3. Save face all around.
Diplomats here said the U. N.
would never compromise the
right of prisoners of war who
turned against Communism to
choose not to go home again.
The problem has been how to Sc
cure this right in a formula &C
ceptable to the Reds.
Decisions From Capitals.
The brevity of recent negotiat-
ing sessions in Korea, though Civ
ing rise to some concern there,
was described here as of no great
significance. Ultimate decisions
on basic issues have to be made
in Washington and Peiping Tor
Moscow and the lull in diplo-
matte activity in Korea was at
tributed to this fact.
Aside from the prisoner war
question there are two other is
sues. These are the Red pro-
posal that Russia be accepted
as neutral" nation to help
police a truce and a U. N. de-
mand that airfiald construction
in Communist North Korea be
banned during a truce.
These have been insoluble prob
lens up to the present, but the
Washington view is that if the
prisoner issue can be settled the
other two major difficulties will

Reds Offer 10 Resume

By the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Sunday. April 13.-
The Communists said today they
were willing to resume the re-
cessed prisoner of war talks "any
time" the Allies are ready.
The U. N. command promised
an answer later in the day.
The prisoner talks were re-

Presumably the Reds have
worked out a new approach and
are ready to offer it for Allied

There has been speculation that
a solution of the prisoner issue
would also break the deadlock on
the two remaining problems of
truce supervision: The Red nomi-

Bad weather, however, grounded

The Chinese troops attacked the

positions with artillery and mortar

The "long-hairs" wear freshly

CTU Record Is Responsible

Now, just a word about this unions respon.
sibility and cooperation.
This is its first strike in 33 years against
Western Union Telegraph Company.
As individuals and an organization, the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union has worked
with the company in the installation of $780,
100000 worth of new machines in the past
five years to reduce labor costs, increase eff.
cheney, raise earnings and profits.
1t is not opposing the company's program
to install $500, 100000 additional mechani.
zation in the next 10 years. -
This unions record demonstrates that it
wants profitable, privately operated tele-
graph industry to serve the public interest.
Don't you think Western Union Telegraph
Co. would have some appreciation for that
kind of union responsibility strikes in
33 years and written cooperation in the inn
prOvement of its service with proper prOvi-
sion for retirement and severance of loyal
EMPLOYEES?
