Tokyo, Oct. 18.

Allied and Communist colonels convened their eighth liaison session in the chilly circus tent at Pan Mun Jom at 10 a.m. today to wrestle with two main points which stand in the way of the resump

tions.

The key to the "little deadlock" of the liaison meet- ings apparently lay in the settlement of: 1. The scope of the new neutral zone to be established; 2. Whether the United Nations planes shall or shall not be allowed to fly over that zone when it is fixed.
