They took an optimistic view of ' the talks, which resume Monday, ; without revealing what the U, N. ' proposal will be. They hinted a time limit on the talks may be enforced with the Communists being told to act "now or never.!' This was emphasized , by. the statement a few days ago of a high source at U. N. Com mand headquarters: "We are not going to let these things drag out. We are going to keep hitting at the stumbling blocks trying to iron them out." The Red Peiping radio today ' quoted British Communist reporter . Alan Wilmington as saying: ''Amidst all speculations about what the Americans may or may not do next Monday, it is well to . state clearly what they cannot do. As far mb the Korean and Chinese side la concerned, all propositions to hand the prisoners over to their enemies is utterly unacceptable. Any difference of treatment be tween Korean and Chinese prison- - ers is utterly unacceptable. Any restrictions aimed at tying in ad vance the hands of the neutral powers (a five-nation neutral repa- : triation commission) so as to pre vent proper explanations to the prisoners, whom the Americans have terrorized, is utterly unac cepiabie." Wilmington's statements otten reflect thinking of the Red truce delegation. f u... IT c Air TVirrp's B29.'They represent !:' those air craft in organized, ready-to-oper-ate squadrons.

Yesterday, during an appear ance before a Senate committee. Deputy Secretary of Delense Rog er M. Kyes was asked about com parative air strength. A commit tee member commented that everyone knows Russia has more planes than the U. S. "I don't subscribe to that," Kyes said. This served to add to the con fusion about what is known olti cially of Russian air power. Wilson, in a committee appear ance Tuesday, said it was difficult to determine the exact size of the Soviet air arm. The secretary said he thinks the U. S. has more long range bombers than Russia. "Do we have very many more?" a committee member asked. "The Iron Curtain is pretty thick," was Wilson's reply. But Wilson's apparent uncertain ty seemed to contrast, with a re mark last Friday by Gen. Omar Bradley, outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Bradley said that, in deciding crnnw Tl R fnrrps should be. the Joint Chiefs "have good intelli gence on the capabilities of poten- A.,an,iac" anrt. that.
