Even more surprising is the fact that to date at least no objections have been launched in congress to the accompanying mutual defense pacts to be signed at San Francisco with Japan on the one hand, and Australia and New Zealand on the other.

Turner Joy, United States navy, leader of the UN negotiating team, out-' lined his ideas of a cease-fire pro gram to the North Koreans and Chinese communists. At the sec ond meeting, after a two-hour re cess, communist chief negotiator Gen. Nam II of North Korea re plied with his own ideas. . The guardedly optimistic tone of Monday's communique Increas ed speculation, that a cease fire agreement may not be too tar dis tant. But it was emphasized that agreement is still to come on the program for formal negotiation of a cease-fire. Some believe the ma jor difficulties will be over when the .program is agreed upon; others that the difficulties will only start when the firm negotia tions begin. Atmosphere Formal Monday's atmosphere was "for mal but not a formality that would prevent an agreement," a. UN briefing officer said. Agree ment on the program itself will be a major step forward, he said, because business talks on the cease-fire cannot start until then. Asked how long he' thought it would take to agree on a program the brieilng officer said: "It: would be pure guesswork if I said 24 hours or 24 days." The communists came out glum from Monday's .first meeting, aft er Joy outlined his program ideas, but went back to the second meet ing smiling. "Maybe the communists have learned we are not the man eaters they were led to believe by their propagandists," the brieflnft offi- cor said.

They returned to a patio on the UN side of the building and stood In a group tor pictures. As our convoy approached tho communist check point where the reds previously turned back one convoy 'and delayed another, North Korean soldiers unarmed so far as we could see were out waving us through. We did not even stop as thev almost frantically waved their arms off. The only thing that came near halting the convoy was a calf that got In between the jeeps and ran along ahead of us for a quai ter of a mile. The people varied. Some waved and some smiled. We passed a truck load of North Korean sol diers with no guns showing. They tried to be stern but could not help but smile when we aimed cameras' at them.
