Negotiations Dangerously Close To Breakdown
Munsan, Korea, Nov. 14.
The Korean armistice talks looked dangerously close to a breakdown today (Wednesday) with debate over the stalled buffer zone issue growing hotter.
Tempers ran hot at a non-stop five-hour session by sub-committee negotiators in the Pan Mun Jom conference tent yesterday. One Allied delegate, Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke, emerged with a hoarse voice, even though the Red negotiators did most of the talking.
While no progress was made, the opposing sides scheduled a 21st meeting for 11 a.m. today.

Policy Attacked By Opposition
OUTSPOKEN CRITICISM
Teheran, Nov, 13.
The policy of Premier Mohammed Mossadegh was strongly criticised today by the opposition leader, Jamal Emami, in the Majlis.
Emami charged that Dr Mossadegh had wasted a whole month in the United States and would return home empty handed. He censured the Government for obtuseness in dealing with the Communist menace in Iran and predicted that in the forthcoming parliamentary elections the Com- munists would win.
Emami said that the Province of Azerbaijan, on the Soviet - Iranian frontier, was full of Tudeh Party elements who were preparing to assume con- trol of the government.

Reversal Of A Policy
new Conservative Government, since it
came to power as a result of the general elec tion, has been mainly preoccupied with domestic affairs. Its first venture into the foreign affairs field, apart from the crisis in the Middle East and the Persian oil dispute, la the decision to directly reverse the Labour Party's attitude towards Spain. For five years after the war Mr Ernest Bevin's policy towards General Franco had been one of intense, antagonism; the United Nations, at the instance of Russia, had imposed a ban on full diplomatic rela- tions between its member States and Madrid Though this ban was later lifted by the United Nations, and the Labour Government sent back a British Ambassador to Madrid, rela tions between the two countries re

mained barely lukewarm. Feelings ran strong in the Labour Party and much hostility was aroused by the United States' decision to negotiate bases in the Peninsula. Mr Eden appears to have reversed what was a somewhat absurd attitude. Whether other North Atlantic Trenty nations will follow Socialist suit remains problematical, influence is probably too strong, notably in France, and moral indigna- tion in theso countries too great to allow of anything but a frigidly cor- rect relationship with Spain. The times, however, demand clear heads and an objective judgment and, in the light of the international situation, the closest partnership with Spain is in- dicated, no other policy today makes
