If accepted, the surprise United Nations compromise proposal could mean a major step toward agreement on a Korean armistice. Gen. Nuckols said he could: not predict the course of the talks today. But the meeting promised to be one of the most dramatic sessions since the armistice conference was reopened Oct. 25. U. 8. Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes made the neutral city suggestion in the form of a 20-word hypothetical question after the subcommittee had spent nearly four hours in fruitless discussion about the conflicting claims to Kaesong.
