Menon Pressed for Details on Peiping Talks in Hong Kong
V K Krishna Menon on a Formosa peace mission faced tough questions at a Hong Kong news conference. He offered generalities about Far East peace, noted Chou En-lai’s willingness to be friendly, and said he would report soon to Nehru. He travels home Tuesday, with New Delhi expecting only exploratory progress and a fuller briefing after the U N anniversary in San Francisco. He avoided specifics on American fliers in Korea and cautioned not to confuse Red Cross involvement with his mission. The Indian spokesman said the talks were exploratory and no dramatic breakthroughs expected.
