UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 6.-An influential United
Nations diplomat had suggested
privately that the United States
and Communist China hold face
to-face talks seeking to work out
their differences over who should
attend the Korean political con-
ference.
Whicle making no formal pro-
posal, this delegate-who was
closely connected with arranging
the Korean truce-said the two
countries could thresh out the
problem when and if their rep
resentatives meet to discuss de-
tails of time and place for the
conference.
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., has Of
fered to send an American rep
resentative to talk over these
points with the Reds. The Com
munists so far have ignored the
offer.
Farley Chances Dim.
Chances for the peace confer
ence, scheduled to open October
%, appear dim at present be-
cause of Communist inSistence

United Nations already has
adopted a United States plan
banning neutrals.
Mr.. Lodge told the General
Assembly that the conference
itself could take up the question
of whether to invite such coun-
tries as India. He said it was a
problem for "both sides" and
both would be represented at
the conference.
The new idea, tossed out by
the prominent neutral, was that
"both sides" take up the issue
when they meet to discuss
technicalities. He said that if
they reached agreement, the
United States could report the
results to the general assembly
and any necessary action could
be taken.
The United States delegation,
saying it had not been ap-
preached formally with the idea,
withheld comment.
A British spokesman said it
was "a little early to comment
on the suggestion. He said his
delegation preferred to wait un-
til the Chinese Reds replied to
the latest United States note on
the conference.
That note offered to send
United States representative to
Geneva, San Francisco or Homo
lulu to talk over technical de-
tails with Chinese Red delega-
tion.
ByrneS Blasts Russia.
Another point of long-stand-
ing East-West conflict returned
to the fore in the Assembly's
Special Political Committee
when South Cardinals Gov.
James F. Byrnes urged the U. N.
to admit IA Western sponsored
states as members. The Amer
ican delegate also blasted Russia
for refusing to lift her veto on
any of these nations unless the
U. N. accepts five Kremlin-
backed applicants.
The Western nominees-Italy,
Japan, Ireland, Portugal, Aus
tria, Finland, South Korea, Cey-
Ion, Libya, Nepal, Jordan, Cam
bodia, Laos and Wet Nam-have
all run up against the Soviet
veto.
None of the five Red-supported
states-Albania, the Mongolian
Peoples Republic, Bulgaria, Ro-
mania and Hungary-have been
able to gain the required ma
Jority in the Security Council.
Russia's Jacob Malik accused the
West Friday of blocking them
through "veto by abstention.
Package Deal Hit.
The Russian package proposal
calls for admission of these five
and all the Western candidates
except Japan, South Korea,
Laos, Cambodia and Wet Nam.
Mr.. Byrnes said by accepting
the Soviet deal, the U. N. would
disregard it's own principles and
admit states it has linked re-
peatedly with forces of aggres-
sion.
Turkey won a seat on the Sc
curity Council yesterday with
solid United States support
against RuSsia'S candidate, Po-
land.
