PANMUNJOM, Oct. %. -
United States Envoy Arthur
Dean today proposed fresh ap-
proach to the problem of arrang-
ing a Korean peace conference,
but the Communists retorted
with their angriest blast in four
days of preliminary negotiations
. Mr.. Dean told the Reds to
"Stop the nonsense" Of demand
ing seats for neutrals at a peace
conference and get on with the
business of fixing a time and
place for the political confer
ence.
When that job is completed,
Mr.. Dean said. he'll be willing to
talk about who will attend.
Despite the Communist TRADE,
Mr.. Dean said the Communists
showed a good deal of interest" i"
in his new proposal to sidestep
the agenda. cut off debate on
the neutrals and discuss a time
and place for the conference i'm
mediately.
May Reply Tomorrow.
The Reds did not reply, di-
rectly to Mr.. Deans new for
mula, but the envoy said I'VE
probably will hear from them to-
morrow"
Mr.. Dean noted that while the
Communists heaped angry words
on him "they are outwardly po-
lite and outwardly interested"
Whenever the Communists
are on a weak spot they hurl in
vective and abuse on the other
side. You've got to expect it
and leave your personal feelings
out of the conference room," he
told newsmen outside the con-
ference hut in Korea'S neutral
zone.
Mr.. Dean opened the 2-hour-
Commute session with his ap-
peal.
When he finished North Ko-
rean Foreign Ministry Represen-
tative Ki Sok Box leveled a
singing attack on Mr.. Dean.
Reds Charge Insult"
The American yesterday called
Communist China and North
Korea agents" Of Russia and
said the Soviets poured weapons
into Red Korea during the war.
The Communist delegate called
this IAN intolerable insult" and
said Mr.. Dean was trying to re-
duce "these talks to a site for
your utterances of invectives.
This fully indicated that the
United States Government has
no sincerity whatsoever to ex-
pedite an early convening of the
political conference"
The Red delegate lodged a
strong protest" and insisted
that he "retract this rude mis-
statement"
Mr.. Dean told correspondents
that what he said lis a fact.
How can retract it?"
Called "a Little Lure"
Mr.. Dean, striving to make
progress in arranging for the
peace conference, promised the
Reds that if they would first
agree on a time and place for
the conference he then was pre-
pared in good faith to exchange
views to the fullest extent pos
sible" on composition Of the con-
ference.
A source close to the Dean
mission called this "a little lure
to the Reds. Mr.. Dean previously
has said only that he would
listen" to talk of who should
sit in on the parley.
The source, however, stressed
that Deans offer to exchange
views is Ion abandonment" Of
the United Nations position that
only the belligerentS, and Russia
if the Reds want her, should
attend the conference.
lit still stands" said the
source, that Mr.. Dean "does not
have any authority on his own. "
to change the y. N. stand on
composition of the conference.
The Communist delegate re-
peated demands that neutral
nations attend the peace confer
ence and declared this is the
firm and unalterable stand of
our side"
Mr.. Dean said afterward he
wasn't worried about the un-
alterable demand Of the Reds.
To the Communists, Mr..
Dean said, "unalterably opposed
means they dislike it intensely
for the moment. You can find
$50 places in the armistice
document where they were un-
alterably opposed to something
and changed their minds"
The American envoy, sent
here by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles to arrange for
the top peace conference. still
kept his optimistic air in the
face of four days of deadlock
and the angry words of the
Communist negotiators.
