Washington, Jan, 7.
The Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, told the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee this afternoon that the United States is considering resuming negotiations looking toward a political conference on Korea.
The State Secretary also told the Committee he believes that all non-repatriated prisoners of war will be released on Jan. 22 as required by the armistice agreement. He said he does not think the Communists plan to resume hostilities.
Mr Dulles met with the Committee for two and a half hours today to describe the situation in the world, and international developments which have occurred since Congress adjourned last August.
Committee chairman Alexander Wiley later issued a statement to reporters, in which he reported that Mr Dulles said "it is the policy of the United States to press the Soviet Union for solutions to problems which are causing international tensions."
