U. 5. Envoy Suggests
Splitting Up Talks
On Peace Farley
BY the Associated Press

PANMUNJONI, Nov. 5.-United
States Envoy Arthur Dean sug-
gested today that top allied and
Communist diplomats abandon
temporarily efforts to arrange a
Korean peace conference and
turn over to subcommittee dis
rutes which have stalled the pre-
liminary talks.
The Communists promptly said
mo" then agreed to think about
1t overnight. They promised an
answer at IL am. tomorrow g
pm. today EST.
Mr.. Dean, noting the high
level negotiators have got no
where, told neWsmen he felt
staff advisers could have a "freer
exchange of ideas" They pre-
sumably would meet in closed
sessions.
Mr.. Dean said the top dele
gates now "sit like bumps on q
log" and have mo give and take"
in their deliberations.
Stalled Since Start.
The envoy also said the lower
level negotiatorS might divide up
with one group debating the time
and place for the conference and
another thrashing out the major
issue-who will attend.
The preliminary talks to ar
range the peace parley have been
stalled from the start over Red
inslstence that neutrals be in
vited and that this question lead
the agenda for the Panmunjom
discussions.
But Mr.. Dean, speaking for the
nations which fought against
the Red armies in Korea, insists
only the belligerents and possibly
Russia attend the conference and
wants the first order of business
here to be a decision on time
and place for the conference.
The United Nations Assembly
has fixed composition of the con-
ference and Mr.. Dean is not au-
thorized to change it.
Picks Representatives.
Mr.. Dean picked Kenneth
Young, director of the Office of
Northeast Asian GJapan and
Korea) Affairs of the Depart
ment of State and Col. Stanton
Babcock. a senior adviser, to
represent him at lower level
meetings if they are held.
The Communists called an
hour long recess to null over
Mr.. Deans proposition. Their
first reaction was definitely un-
favorable, if not an outright
rejection.
North Korean Foreign Minis
try Councillor Ki Sok Box,
spokesman for the Reds, told
Mr.. Dean his side feels the
agenda must be settled" at the
top level.
The Red delegate called it Gin
appropriate" to refer the dis
pute to staff workers.
But XII promised to give the
plan further study and com
ment on it tomorrow"

The Chinese POWs from Com
pound C-22 marched peacefully
to the interview tents. Once
there some cursed and threatened

sat quietly, looking bored.

Officials Probe Reports
Of Freighter Rebellion
By the Associated Pres,

EUREKA, Calf, Nov. S.
Coast Guard officers boarded the
freighter Seaclif1 when she
docked here from Japan last
night to investigate reports of
"rebellious action" by members
of the vessels 37-man crew.
Also on hand when the 1852
ton ship nosed into her berth
from Yokohama to pick up a
cargo of lumber were marine
union representatives and three
officers of the Eureka police
force.
There were no incidents, how
ever.
It was learned that trouble
aboard the ship stemmed from
the quantity and quality of food
served during the voyage from
Japan and on earlier trips in
the Far East. One report was
that ships officers refused to put
into port for needed provisions
and were subsequently threat
ened by crewmen.
A hearing is slated today.

Red Efforts 10 Coax
P0Ws Back Home
Are Almost Halted
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

PANMUNJOM, Nov. 5.-Com-
munist efforts to coax home anti
Red Chinese and Korean war
prisoners ground almost to a halt
today as stalling Red persuaders
dragged out interviews and
walked out during even minor
disputes.
Only 1876 prisoners were inter-
viewed all day. And only two of
the 1876 elected to return to COM
munism.
This was the smallest number
of POWs to appear before Red
explainers in any one day and
was only a fraction of the 492
prisoners the Communists asked
to see.
May Can OFF Talks.
There was growing speculation
here that the Reds might be
preparing to call off explanations
which have won back only a
hand full Of balky prisoners.
1t was the second straight day
of showdown tactics by Commu-
mist teams trying to change the
minds of prisoners who have re-
jected repatriation.
And even though interviews
averaged about l hour and 20
minutes each the Reds chalked
up their poorest score in seven
days of explanations. Less than
is per cent of the prisoners SAID
they would go back to their Red
ruled homelands.
Only 81 of 1920 prisoners in
tervieWed to date have agreed to
go back.
1t. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, In
dian chairman of the Neutral
Nations Repatriation Commits

views with prisoners who op-
viouSly were anti-Red.

Important Changes
In Present Atom Law
Reported Drafted
BY the ASsoeiofed Press

/ NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The
New York Times said today the
Atomic Energy Commission is
drafting a series of important
amendments to the Atomic En-
ergy Act.
A Washington dispatch to the
Times by James Reston said the
amendments are designed to in
crease the participation of pri-
yate industry in the program at
home and to liberalize the ex-
change of atomic information
among the allies.
The amendments would do
these things, the story said:
/. Enable private industry to
own or rent fashionable material
and to own an operate power re-
actors under proper controls.
They cannot do either at present.
Exchange of Information.
2 Give the Atomic Energy
Commission greater discretion in
the exchange of atomic and
thermonuclear information. This
is strictly limited by the act,
though it is subject to various
interpretations.
3 Liberalize the rigid patent
system that now governs all de-
Ve)opments in this field so that
private industry will have greater
incentives to put it's dollars.
manpower and brains into these
projects
4 Revise the security system
so that it is not necessary to get
or evade the high @" clearance
fol- laborers on atomic energy
projects.
S. Remove certain technicali-
ties in the act in order to remove
any doubt that violations of the
law cover not only the atomic
energy program but the ther-
monuclear hydrogen bomb
program as well.
Un Washington, the Acc
had no comment on the re-
ported draft legislation. The
Congressional Atomic Com
mittee held hearings last
spring specifically to deter
mine whether the Atomic En-
ergy Act should be amended
to permit broader participa-
tion by private industry.
Change Seen Needed.
The Times story said a survey
of the present act, originally
passed in 1916, has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the ma
tional administration that new
scientific, industrial and political
developments in this country and
abroad have neceSSitated funda-
mental changes in the legiSla-
ton.
These changes, the story add
ed, are being drafted under the
direction of Administrator Lewis
S. Strauss, Acc chairman. They
have not, however, been ap-
proved yet by President Eisen-
hover Or submitted, to the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy.
