The United Nations command has tttrtied down the soviet Union as a tirttttal inspector and so far has refused even to discuss the iirtton. Both sides agreed the iieutzals should be mutually ac- ceptablc. the Allies contended.

For three days the Reds have ciiailettgecl the Allies to give a n-g50ll for rcjectim: the nominal- ion of Russia.

The object almost certainly will conic up again today. staff offic- ers scltedttieti sessions on truce imp.-iimtoii and prisoner exchange for 11 a. in. (ii p. m. EST Tues- daii.
