Lake Success, Dec. 21.

The United Nations cease-fire commission met for two hours on Thursday and sent a third message to Peking requesting Communist China's reaction to the world organisation's peace drive.

A spokesman announced the group would not meet again "until the middle of next week" when they expect to report to the General Assembly's?

The text of the telegram from the committee of three on cease-fire in Korea to Chou En-lai, Foreign Minister of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, said:

"We hope to receive your reply to our earlier messages regarding cease-fire arrangements in Korea. The Political Committee of the United Nations General Assembly has now taken a brief recess but will meet again very shortly in order to consider amongst other things a full report from the cease-fire group. We propose to begin prepara- tion of that report next week, and would, therefore, appreciate an early reply from you.
