US Evades Reds'
Proposal to Talk
WASHINGTON (API- Burma
reported Monday that Red China
stands ready to receive an un
official American mission to talk
over tension between the two
countries. However, American
officials quickly turned a cold1
shoulder toward the idea.
The State department gave
only a terse “no comment" ans
wer when asked for official re
action to the plan disclosed by
Burma's premier, U Nu, in Ran
goon.
Informed diplomats made it
clear they regarded it as another
of Red China's moves to offset
worldwide repercussions to Peip
ing’s imprisonment of 15 Ameri
can fliers.
Nu told a news conference that
he had, with the approval of Red
Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai,
relayed Chou’s endorsement of
the plan for a meeting to Secre
tary of State Dulles Saturday
when Dulles was in Rangoon.
The idea would be to talk
about the imprisoned fliers along
with other tensions involved in
Chinese-U.S. relations.
Dulles, who is visiting South
east Asia, flew on to Indochina
without commenting on the sug
gestion. He didn’t even send any
cables about it to the State de
partment. it was reported.
Nu, who has been trying to act
as mediator in the quarrel over
the fliers, declined to say what
Dulles’ reaction to the conference
suggestion was.
“I don't think I should discuss
this,” he said.
In the absence of guidance
from Dulles, American officials
avoided any outright and final
rejection of the plan.
It was obvious that all believed
the idea was unacceptable and
that Dulles shared this view.
If Dulles regarded it as im
portant, they felt he would have
mentioned it in the numerous dis
patches he has been filing to the
department during his tour.
Diplomats were inclined to re
gard Nu’s role as well meaning.
However, they thought Red
China backed the idea only be
cause it would bring the Ameri
cans “hat in hand” to Peiping to
ask for favors.
No further conferences should
be necessary, they said, to obtain
freedom for the American riir
men. The men's imprisonment is
clearly illegal, they stressed, ami
Red China should free them im
mediately. without demanding
concessions of any kind.
Acceptance of the idea of di
rect talks in Peiping with Red
China, officials felt, would under
mine continuing efforts by
United Nations Secretary Gen
eral Dag- Hammarskjold to win
the release of the fliers.
All the American fliers were
part of the United Nations ar
mies which opposed Communist
aggression in Korea and thus are
the responsibility of the entire
United Nations.
