Meeting Proposed by Reds.
The Communists proposed
Saturday a meeting at Panmun-
JON to settle questions of time
and place of the political con-
ference, and also the question
of composition"l of the confer
ence.
The United Nations has voted
that the conference should be
limited to representatives of the
nations that fought in Korea,
plus Russia if the Communist
side desires. The Communists
are insisting on a round-table
conference with five neutral"
nations, including Russia, taking
part.
In an October 8 note sent to
the Chinese and North Korean
Communists through Sweden,
the United States emphasized
that the UN arrangements
stand" and are entirely rea-
sonable."

While not backing away from
this position, the American
reply to the Communist pro-
posal is expected to refrain from
making any point of the con-
ference composition issue.
Officials believe that merely
getting the Communists to sit
down at Panmunjom to talk
about arrangements about the
political conference would con-
Stitute some progress. They
| point out that agreement to the
Panmunjom talks would not
commit the United States to
reopen the question of compost

British West Indies to take &C
tive charge of the investigation
which his aides limited might pro-
duce sensational testimony dur
ing the week.
A number of present and
former civilian employees of the
laboratory were scheduled to
testify as Senator McCarthy's
Investigations subcommittee
sought to learn whether an in
ternational espionage ring has
been operating in an effort to
obtain secrets of this country's
planned defense against atomic
attacks. None of the names of
the witnesses was released in ad-

Senator Mccarthy, his aides
said, planned to. arrive in mid
afternoon from Appleton, Wis,
where he spent the week end.
1t was learned that Subcom-
mittee investigators were de-
handing permission from the
Justice Department to question
Harry Gold and David Green
glass. former members of the
atomic spy ring. Both are serv-
ing long prison terms in the Fed
eral penintentiary at Lewisburg,
Pa.
The investigators asked per-

atomic spies, once worked at
Fort Monmouth.
Hush-H Hush Atmosphere.
The investigation was being
conducted in something of a
huSh-hush atmosphere pending
the arrival of Senator Mccarthy.
The Senator's aides said they
regarded it as so important that
they wanted the Wisconsin Re-
publican to take active charge.
The subcommittee, it was
learned, has invited Army Sec
rotary Stevens. or one of his rep
resentatives, to sit in on the
hearing.
Five civilian employees of the
Army installation have been sus-
pended as security risks.
