U.N. CONDITIONS FOR TALKS
New Meeting Place May Be Asked
(Rec. 1 a.m.) TOKYO. August 24. Authoritative sources believe that General Ridgway’s reply to the Communists' suspension of the armistice talks will probably demand new and stringent conditions for the resumption of negotiations. His demands may include a new meeting place. The United Nations Command Radio broadcast to China and Korea to-day countered the Communist charge of an Allied bombing attack on the conference site by calling it “the most clumsy and thoroughly ridiculous farce the Communists have yet staged in their effort to distort fact.”
Accusing the Communists of having hastily planted their evidence from old scrap metal, the radio added: “These clownish antics constitute a Communist drive for world sympathy. It has backfired to the extent of making the bunglers not s only look ridiculous but appear as incompetent liars in the eyes of the world.”
