In Protest Against
Private U. n. Talks
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Nov.
27.-South Korea protested Bit
terly today against being left
out of behind-the-scenes talks
on the Korean question between
Asian diplomats and the is allies
who fought for the United Ma
tions in Korea.
South Korean ire was aroused
by reports that the Asian diplo-
mats, with India's Delegate V. K.
Krishna Menon being most ac-
tive. are pressing for new talks
between the Communists and the
u. N. allies in Korea in hopes of
restarting negotiations for a
final settlement.
The plan was given little
chance of Western support.
Pointing to reports that Mr..
Menon has conferred with dele
gates of the United States. Brit
ain, France, Australia, Belgium.
Canada and New Zealand, the
Korean Ambassador in Wash
ington, You Chan Yang, said in
a statement:
"They are trying to take uni
lateral action. When they are
trying to decide our fate, they
should call us in. No, they did
not have any intention of doing
so. This would be corrected.
I feel very strongly they should
call in the victim, Behind the
scenes. they do these things and
go talk to Mehon. I am sure
Menon would object if we be-
gan talking about what to do
with India and he were not
consulted"
Sees Another "Sellout."
Mr.. Yang charged Britain and
Canada are backing a scheme
to have elections in Korea SUI
pervised by a commission made
up Of Communist and neutral
powers. He said this would be
"a sellout just like that in Indo-
China" and South Korea will
not stand for it.
/ Mr.. Menon and the Asians
have been active for several
days in search of some approach
toward a settlement.
The Asians sounded out theil
U. N. colleagues on the posi-.
bility of such a parley as the
Assembly's top Political Com.
mittee braced itself for another
| go at the Korean question early
next week.
Communist sources here have
limited they would favor a new
conference with the United Ma.
tions allies. But Western dele.
gates say they want no part O.
another parley like the one hele
in Geneva last summer.
/ The U. N. allies broke off ths
| Geneva talks after weeks o.
futile negotiations with the Reds
Readying Report.
The U. N. allies were reported
readying a resolution for Politica
Committee consideration, which
would merely note the Geney;
failure. Sources said it viii
omit any suggestion for actor
at the present stage.
The Menon talks are signiff,
cant because he played a lead.
ing role in the U. N. negotia
tions leading to the exchange o
Korean war prisoners and th'
eventual cease-fire. During th'
Assembly's lengthy efforts to ent
the Korean conflict. he served
as mediator between the Com
munists and the Western powers
It was India's resolution which
laid the basis for the cease-f fir,
formula finally accepted by tn,
Assembly as just and reasonable
