Definite Failure

Lake Success, Jan. 3.

The three-mon cease-fire group reported to the United Nations Political Committee today that it had failed to negotiate a cease-fire with the Chinese Communist forces in Korea.

Sir Benegal Narsing Rau, the chief Indian delegate to the United Nations and a member of the group, gave the Committee what he called a plain and unvarnished account of what the group had attempted to do since Dec. 14 of last year.

The basis for the negotiations which the group felt to be reasonable was:

To Answer From Kremlin

Washington, Jan. 3.

The Western Powers must have further clarification of the Soviet attitude before assuming that the Soviet Union is ready for four-power peace talks, Mr Dean Acheson, the US Secretary of State, said here today. At his weekly Press conference, Mr Acheson said that the Soviet note did not constitute an acceptance of the Western Powers' proposals for talks and they must have further clarification of the Soviet position.

He denied that there were differences of view between the United States, Britain and France regarding the inter- pretation or acceptability of the proposals in the Soviet note.
