NO PROGRESS IN TRUCE TALKS
Soviet’s Nomination As “Neutral” (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) (Rec. 11.55 p.m.) TOKYO, March 3. There was no break to-day in the Korean stalemate over the Communists’ nomination of the Soviet Union as a neutral member of the projected armistice inspection team?. United Nations and Communist staff officers met for only 50 minutes at Pahmunjon. A Communist spokesman conceded that the Allies had to reject the Soviet Union, but he insisted that the United Nations command must give logical reasons. Colonel Don Darrow, the chief Allied staff officer to-day told the Communists that the United Nations stand on the Soviet would not be changed. No progress was made in the companion talks on the exchange of prisoners. The Allied delegate, Rear-Admiral R. E. Libby, said: “It was one of the most unpleasant meetings we have ever had.”
