U.S.-CHINESE TALKS
Larly Agreement Expected (Rec. 11 p m.) GENEVA. Aug. M. American and Chinese ConunnnM negotiators talked for 90 minutes today on the repatriation of each other’s civilians— making a total of eaven hours' argument on this one issue In five separate sessions. A Chinese Communist source said he had the impression the two sides were nearing agreement, and diplomatic observers also think the issue is likely to be settled soon. Mr Alexis Johnson and Mr Wang Ping-Nan, the chief American and Chinese negotiators, agreed to hold another meeting on Saturday. The repatriation problem is blocking the way to a discussion on broader issues between the two countries, such as the strategic ban on the sale of many commodities to China. Mr Johnson is seeking the return of nearly 40 American civilians detained in - China, and is assuring the Chinese that 4000 Chinese students in America are free to return to China if they wish.
