Yule Peace Offered to Red Korea

PANMUNJOM, Japan, Nov. 17—The United Nations proposed today .a dramatic new

armistice plan to end the Ko-

rean War before Christmas and the Communists tentatively aeccepted it. The United Nations said it would accept the Commuriist demand for a buffer zone along the present battleline — provided the Reds agree to an exchange of war prisoners and other details of a formal armistice within 30 days. Fighting would go on as usual during the negotiations. Should a final armistice be agreed upon within the 30-day period, the opposing armies would return to the present battleline for the ceasefire. But if no final agreement were

reached, the new battleline would|

become the provisional cease-fire line and the next step would be up to the two armistice, delegations > Framed in Washington The United Nations compromise

Preliminary Talks Tomorrow

Gen. Hodes also suggested that, as a preliminary step, staff officers of both sides meet tomorrow to see how far apart they are on their interpretation of the actual battle-line of contact.

A United Nations communique outlining the plan said that with its submission, the United Nations command has “thrown the ball to the Communists.”

Top May Be Raised Up by 4%

Bry United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 17— Automobile prices may be on their way up again soon. The Office of Price Stabilization announced last night that auto-makers «will be permitted another general increase under regulations to be issued about Dee. 1. The new ceilings are expected to be about 4 per cent higher than {those now in effect for most of the industry. Retail automobile prices will climb even more because the Herlong amendment to the new controls law permits dealers to add normal percentage markups to their prices. It was not known whether any of the major auto-makers would take immediate advantage of the new order to slap higher price tags on their cars. General Mo{tors Corp., the world's largest car manufacturer, said yesterday that it had asked for price relief as provided by the Capehart amendment to the controls law.

He said it wag “bizarre” tn relegate the Soviet proposals to the

background and accused the U. 8 of trying to “guillotine” them. dBefore Malik spoke, Mr. Ache-

son told the committee that press reports he had just seen about a near agreement in Korean ceasefire talks were good news. He

warned. however, that two vital

issues remained to be settled even after agreement on a cease-fire line.

The issues, he said. are supervision of the armistice line and the return of prisoners of war, Malik described the Korean talks as “the most shameful in American diplomatic history.
