The United States received to

round table talks, including
Russia, India and three other
"non-belligerents," be substi

Political Conference plan ap
proved by the United Nations
last month.
The Chinese Reds yesterday
turned down the Assembly s
approved setup for an across

manded that all Korean belli
gerents, plus Russia, India, In
donesia, Pakistan and Burma,
be invited to participate in a
round table parely and that the
entire issue be reopened at the
General Assembly seuion about
to begin.
The United States promptly
announced it saw no reason to
reopen the debate, and indicat
ed it would stand on the plan
for the conference it engineer
ed in conjunction with 14 other
member countries whose troops
fought in the Korean War.
A major tussle on whether
the Assembly should reconsid
er the conclusion it reached in
a special Korean session last
month was expected to come
later this week when the 6p

Either taz would be tar in

the result that Healy informed

a satisfactory agreement couia
be reached by the first of next

The same situation, Healy
