In a broadcast from Peking, For. elgvn Minister Chou En-lai of Corn- niunist China denounced the U.N. Korean truce team as illegal. an- nounced that the Reds would not negotiate with it and once again named its price for peace in Korea. It was: removal of the Seventh Fleet from Formosan

from Korea. and a seat in the Un- lied Nations for Communist China. Chou's statement ended any hopes that the Chinese Communists would dlcker with the tihree-man truce committee composed of Nurollali Entezam of li-an, Aa- sembly president: Canada's for- eign affairs minister. Lester Pear- son, and chief Indian delegate, Sir Bengai Rnu, set up by the General Assembly to try to bring about a ceasefire in Korea.

At the time of Wu's departure. the U.N. had. and has had to date. no official reply from Peking on the cease-fire pr - posal. This has now been fol- lowed up by a second message sent to assure the Chinese Com- munists that negotiations on a Korean truce would be followed by talks on other far-eastern con- troversies. Prior to his departure Wu told U.N. delegates that his government would not consider a cease-fire order in Korea unless the question of U5. "intervention" in Korea were discussed. He call- ed the request for a cease-fire order a ”trarp."

R.F.S.P..

The d-apitrtuvre of Communist leader Palmero Togliaiti from Rome to Moscow, ostensibly to convalesoe in Russia. following a delicate brain operation a month ago, has given rise to a great flurry of political inferences. Some think he has gone to take com- mand of the Italian Communist underground in the event of war. Others believe he is being quietly removed from active leadership of the Communist party and will be given some honorary post.
