Withdrawal Of Troops Believed To Be Contention At Kaesong

Seoul, July 18.

Communist and United Nations military leaders were going back to Kaesong again today (Wednesday) to make a new effort to decide on an agenda for armistice. talks aimed at ending the Korean war. The sixth session of negotiations was to open

at 10 a.m. today.

Although there has been no official reports other than that the first five meetings were congenial with "some progress" made, it is generally belleved that the question of withdrawal of UN troops from Korea is holding up agreement on an agenda.

The Chinese and Korean -Red 400,000-man || `army is arrayed across the Korean front and back of it to the Manchurian frontier. It is reported poised to strike if the talks break down. Com- munist negotiators and repeated Red broadcasts have made it clear they want to discuss the with- drawal of "all foreign troops" from Korea.

The UN representatives, headed by Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, were believed to consider this political and out of their realm,

What Mr Churchill would have done had he been in control six months ago,

There may be something paradoxical in the fact that any Conservative section should accuse Mr Churchill of showing insufficient firmness of purpose, either in foreign or domestic affairs, but there is plain evidence that the restraint that has been shown since the beginning of the dll crisis has made the flag-waving group extremely resticas. Both Mr Eden and the Leader of the Opposition adopted the same tone of patience after Mr Morrison's latest statement on the Persian situation.
