The source, speaking shortly before Dulles took off for Man ila for a conference of American Far East diplomats, said no such offer had been transmitted to Dulles by Burma's Premier U Nu. Reports from Rangoon yes terday said the Burmese Pre mier conveyed an unofficial of fer from Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-lai to Dulles to send an unofficiaj American mission to Peiping to discuss the release of the fliers and the easing of international tensions. The source in Saigon said the United States was not prepared to send such a mission if it is connected in any way with is sues other than the 11 fliers held in Communist jails on es pionage charges. And if the of fer concerned only the fliers, the U. S. position is that there are existing channels through UN Secretary-general Dag Ham marskjold and that they should be used.
