MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 13 - (Moadny) - (AP) - The Com- munist delegation appeared slight- ly more conciliatory on the buffer zone issue Sunday, nalsing some prospect that an eventual Korean armistice can be reached in talks with the United Nations delegation.

The conferences will be re- sumed at lil am. (9 P.M. EDT 5l1nda'3') in Kaesong.

Tire meetings had teetered for three days on the brink of collapse tintil Sunday's session. Then North Korean Lt.-Gen. Nam ll, senior Red delegate, ac- ceded to a formal United Nations request for a map.

The 30-by-40 inch was close- ly studied at U. N. advance head- quarters Sunday night. For the first time the Reds had put on paper their concept of:

1. The present battle lines.

2. The 38th parallel which the Reds insist be the buffer demar- cation line.

3. The U. N. command's "orig- inal and generalized" proposal for s demilitanizcd zone.

The Allies have called for I demllitarized zone along a de- fensible line approximating the present fighting front. It is south of parallel 38 in the west and well north of the parallel in the centre and east.

Responsible sources said they believed that, while the Reds were still vitally interested in draw- ing a demarcation line along the 38th parallel, they were even more interested in obtaining an armistice. - '

For this reason it was believed the Reds might retreat from their

Hitler Parades

By Thomas A. needy

BERLIN, Aug. 12 - (AP) More than 1,000,000 blue-ahtrted girls and boys, chanting loyalty to Stalin and hate for the West. staged a giant parade in East Berlin today in a propaganda show that outdid Hitler's biggest spectacles.

The high point of the 14-day Communist World Youth Peace Festival came to an end after nine hours to steady marching past the reviewing stand.

No Violence Western precautions against violent incidents were unneces- sary. Not a stone was thrown

in anger all day.

Tonight in a windup of oratory. Walter Ulbricht, East Germany's spade-bearded "Little Stalin". threatened sabotage. strikes and "ultimate ruin" if Western Germ- any rcarms for western defence.

"Let the imrperialistlc West German regime learn from the past," shouted the little Com-

munist deputy premier from Sax- ony. "Let them learn from Hit.- lcr's disaster and also from the Korean war."

He called on Communist youth of West Germany to sabotage Western deflence by melting "all manner of strikes.

The Russian-controlled East German news agency said 2,000,- 000 youths participated in the giant demonstration 1,500,000 who marched in the parade and 500,000 who acted as the cheer- ing section. Wesicrn observers thought the figures were some- what. exaggerated.

High German Csmmunvlsls and their Soviet guests had seats of honor for the review.

Din Of Shoutiy

The marchers and cheating sections keptlup A steady din'of shouting "Long live Stalin". "Ami (Americans). go home", And "Ami, get out of Korea."

Coming in seemingly endless waves, many abreast, the paraders carried floats. banners and cari- catures lamtbasting President Tru- man, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow- er and the West. German leaders. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and Socialist Kurt Schumacher.

Several floats made capital of British use of Helgoland island as a practice bombing target, and thousands shouted "Helge- land" just as Nazis once shouted "Dantzig" when Hitler was plot- ting his war against Poland.
