By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7—The Army softened its disciplinary action against some 80 cheating West Point cadets somewhat today with announcement that they will be given|
a chance to resign. The opportunity was extended to those cadets who confessed that they broke the academy's traditional honor code. If they do not resign, they will get “administrative discharges.”
Some 10 cadets who did not confess may be discharged administratively or be given court-mar-tial trials, as the military academy
When the cheating ‘scandal broke into the news last week the Army said the cheating cadets, about 90 in all, would be given “general discharges”—a type of discharge given military personnel who do not qualify for honorable discharges. Nothing was said then of any opportunity to resign. Even if a cadet chose not to resign and got an administrative discharge, the record apparently would be less damning than a general discharge would be. Army officers at the Pentagon asserted that even a resignation would be entered in the records as a, discharge of some kind, but were hazy in their explanitions 4 * % nouncement, additional Congressmen spoke their minds about the military academy’s cheating scandal. ‘ Sen. John J. Sparkman (D. Ala.) proposed that Congress abolish both the military and naval academies. A Senate subcommittee ordered a “preliminary” investigation of the West Point. case.
Some Men Win Stay
The Army held out the possibility, that some of the 10 who have not confessed may be retained at the academy.

Negotiations have been suspended since Gen. Ridgway told the Reds on Sunday that his negotiating team - will remain within its own lines until he gets the guarantee he asks. By early today, no reply from the Reds had been announced. A United Nations spokesman said it is hardly possible that the talks can be resumed before tomorrow (Wednesday night). In reply to Gen. Ridgway's message of Sunday, the Reds gave what seemed to be an ace ceptance of his demand. But it was disclosed last night that the Red reply, as broadcast by Communist radios, differed materially in its English, Chinese and Japa=nese language versions. The English version was a gen= eral acceptance. The Chinese version was a half-hearted acjceptance. The Japanese version Iwas almost arrogant. ;
