U. S„ Red China To Renew Talks Monday Red Chinese Claim Students Detained WASHINGTON (INS) — The U. s' has agreed'to look Into Cothmunist China’s claims that severalreportedly less than a half dozen —Chinese students are being barred from returning to their home land. Red China's ambassador, W’ang Ping Nan, listed the names at the Geneva talks Friday after U. S. envoy U. Alexis Johnson challenged him to support his charges with specific instances. Johnson, U. 8. ambassador to Czechoslovakia, is trying to win the release „of 40 American civilians held by the Communist Chinese. The student issue shared top billing .at the Sino-American parley with Peiping’s insistence that a third power be brought into the exchange. Official sources said the U. S. has not closed the door on a “neutral representative.” but is unwilling to accept Red China’s choice of India as the intermediary in the formula. The U. S. reportedly has suggested Britain as the third power, if Communist China continues to, demand such a course. Johnson and Wang wilt resume their parley Monday in what has been officially described as a friendly atmosphere. Reliable sources likened the temper of the, meetings to that of the “summit” talks at Geneva. They said there are none of the unacceptable conditions or stormy speeches which characterized the Korean armistice conference at Panmunjom.
