Hopes For Korean Armistice Increase
NO NEW PROPOSAL
ON POW ISSUE

PANMUNJOM R-Allied and
Communist negotiaiors met in
tight secrecy for 10 minutes today
as mushrooming reports Of near
agreement on the key issue of pris.
oner exchange bolaered hopes for
an armistice in Korea.
There was no official hint Of
what went on inside the conference

Korean source said mo new pro-

The Reds asked for and got a
recess until II a. m. tomorrow %

Korean source indicated--without
elaboration-that progress might
be made then.
He described the atmosphere in
side the conference hut today as
businesslike--''neither good nor

Other observers said the u. N.
Command probably asked for clar-
ification of an hourlong statement
read Thursday BY North Korean
Gen. Nam II.
This was reported TO have been
a counter proposal virtually para
phrasing the latest U. N. plan for
breaking the long prisoners ex-
change deadlock, last major bar
rier to Korean truce. The Reds
were said to have suggested five
changes, none Of them major.
In Western and Communist cap
itals around the world hopes
mounted that the end Of the bloody
Korean War was in sight--perhaps
before the conflict winds up its
third year on June Is.
