Stiff Red Stand
Darkens Hope
Of Armistice
Showdown Coming
Tomorrow to Make
Or Break Talks
BY the Associated Press


PANMUNJOM. July 15.-An
authoritative source said tonight
a showdown is coming between
allied and Communist truce ne
gotiators tomorrow in a secret
session which will make or
break the talks"
There is a very distinct pos
sibility of another breakdown in
the talks" the source said. He
added that the veil of secrecy
will be lifted from the negotia-
tions if there is a breakdown.
There were strong indications
the showdown would come over
Red demands for the recapture
of non-CommuniSt Korean pris-
oners freed last month and IRON
clad guarantees from the U. N.
that South Korea would honor a
truce.
Red Radio Claims "Walkout"
The source, who could not be
identified, gave his estimate of
the truce situation after the Chi
neSe Communist radio claimed
the U. N. command negotiators
walked out" of Wednesdays
truce meeting.
But Peiping radio made it clear
there would be another meeting
at the customary hour of II am.
on Thursday g pm. EDIT We'd
neSday). The negotiators met for
81 minutes Wednesday.
Allied officers here were openly
pessimistic over chances OF an
early armistice, but elsewhere
there was continued optimism
that negotiators would agree
soon.
Allied officers in direct con-
tact with the negotiations said
the Reds have taken a tougher
position and are insisting that
the U. N. Command provide con-
crete guarantees that South Ko-
rea will observe an armistice.
Point Also to Big Attack.
These same officers, who re-
fused to be quoted by name, said
the big Communist attack on
the east-central front indicates
the Reds do not plan to sign a
truce soon.
On the other hand, President
Eisenhower's special truce ennis
sary said as he landed in the
United States Tuesday that the
agreement he reached with Pres
ident Syngman Rhee should
assure the signing of an armi-
stice if the Communists are sin
cere in their desire for peace"
The Communist radio at the
North Korean capital of Pyong-
yang said Tuesday night that
80 per cent of the $1,000 anti
Communist North Korean war
prisoners freed from Allied camps
last month now are at Pohang,
north OF Pusan on the east
coast.
The broadcast said that since
the prisoners now are concen-
trated in one place, the allied
claim that they have melted in
to the civilian population and
cannot be recaptured does not
hold water.
South Korean Denies Claim.
A South Korean Defense Min
istry official said some of the re-
leased prisoners are in the Po-
hang area, but denied emphat-
ically that 80 per cent of the
$4,000 are there.
A source close to the South
Korean National Police said most
OF the escaped prisoners enlisted
in the ROK Army are camped
around Pohang. He said more
than one-third" of the escaped
prisoners volunteered to join the
army.
