Reds Rap Proposals By Dean
In Panmunjom the Communists bluntly told US envoy Arthur Dean he has failed to advance anything useful toward a Korean peace conference. Dean dismissed the Red statement as propaganda. They plan a 10th meeting at 11 a.m. Thursday while Dean urges delegating time, place, and composition to subcommittees for parallel talks. The Reds accuse the US of violating the armistice by a South Korea defense pact and stall talks by demanding neutral invitations. Dean, speaking for UN allied nations, says he will discuss neutrals only after time and place are agreed.
