May Disc-uss Compromise On Hoi issue

MUNSAN, Korea. April 14- (Monday) -- (AP) - Communist truce negotiators asked Sunday for a resumption of the recessed talks on prisoner exchange. It could mean they are ready to discuss a compromise on the hot issue.

A United Nations command spokesman said he does not know when the allies will be ready to resume the talks on prisoners, but that it probably would not be to- dny. .

Sub-delegates considering truce supervision scheduled another meeting today at Pahmunjom at 11 am. (9 p.m. Est Sunday).

Sunday's truce-supervision ses- sion lasled only 50 seconds--ii new mark for brevity--time only for the delegates to agree to meet again. They are deadlocked on Communist insistence that Russia he one of six neutral truce inspectors, and an allied demand for a ban on military airfield construction.

Staff officers grappling with the prisoner-exchange issue have been in recess since April 4 work- in: separately on "additional ave- nues" of the question.

Labor Comeback Shakes British Conservatives

By EDWARD CURTIS

LONDON. April 13 - (AP) - A Labor comeback in ca t ions has shocked the Brit h onaerva- tive party. Bocislist leaders ascribe their victories to failure of Church- ill's Government to keep election promises of better living.

The Conservatives contend they were forced to impose belt-tlghten- ins measures to combat Britain's economic crisis and to correct aver- spending during six years of Labor Government.

The voters made their protest in county Elections held during the last 10 days. It was the Labor Par- ty's biggest victory in these local elections, giving the sooislists con- trol of if of England's biggest counties.

May Beams New Mystery Of Atlantic

By Kingsley Brown .

HALIFAX. April 13-(OP)-When a. mariner named Columbus was making history 460 years ago. the grey. abysmal Atlantic was shroud- cd in mystery. It is much the same today.

Ships sail and never return. Latest perplexing incident is the disappearance of five Norwegian sealing ships in the Arctic wa- ters north of Iceland. Ten United States and Icelandic planes. searching for three days. have failed to find them.

Time alone will tell if the disappearance, of the '77 Norweg- ians aboard will become another modern Atlantic mystery, with their fate locked forever in the fog-shrouded limbo of the deep.

The ships. Rlngsel of Tromaoe, Vaargiimt of Balyfjord. Buskoy of Aalsund. Brattlnd of Moere and Kelts of Aalcsund, are more than a week overdue. Reports from Oslo are pessimistic.

Veteran sealers in St. John's, Nfld., claim they might turn up yet. They say the vessels are well-provisioned and strong and can withstand rough Arctic weath-
