If there Is the ghost chance of accelerating conclusion of an armistice in Korea through United Nations deliberations the oppor- tunity must be seized with- out delay. Manifestly it in this consideration which has prompted the Western Powers to agree to affording priority of discussion to Koren at the current UN session and there will be general satisfaction over the decision. The so-called Polish "pence package" proposals, while regarded generally as failing to meet essential requirements for a Korean truce, need to be debated, if only to have thair worthlessness proved to the world.

The United Nations tonight decided to plunge. into an immediate: all-out debate on the Korean truce deadlock after the Big Three Western powers. came out in favour of such a move.
The Western stand was taken partly in response to Soviet bloc pressure. The proposal to give the Korean debate top priority was made by Australia, one of the first nations to send troops to Korea; after Poland had proposed first position for its own "peace package" including the Korean crisis.
Communist Poland demanded, Political Committee to begin that its "peace package," in its work by debatirig tho cluding Korean proposals, boj Korean war, debated immediately in
