Meanwhile Fighting Goes On In llofeji

By William Barnard

TOKYO, July 4 - (Wednesday) -- (AP) -- The Allied command today hoped for a possible prelim- inary cease-fire meeting Thursday but as the hours ticked away the Communists in Korea remained silent.

Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway pro- posed the preliminary conference when he informed the Communists Tuesday that he agreed with their plan to hold an armistice confer- ence at Kaesong. near the 38th parallel, July 10. '

He suggested both sides send liaison officers Thursday to Kae- song. 30 miles northwest of Seoul, to lay plans for the major confer- ence.

The United Nations commander-

ings meant more bloodshed. Mean- while. blood was being shed. Allied forces lashed out at scattered points along the front. U. N. warplanes pounded Red installations.

The Allied forces were alert for any Red surprise attack. The Peiping radio said the Communist forces also were warned against possible Allied attacks.

The radio quoted an editorial in the Peiping People's Daily as saying the cease-fire line would be on the 38th parallel. The editorial said that a cease-fire would be only the first step toward settling the Korean question. And it added that the Chinese must con- tinue lto build up their defences even after an armistice.

At. Pusan. President Syngnian Rhee said South Korea could not accept an armistice at the parallel,

"We wanft 4- cease-fire 1sE"'soon as possible," he;.,sid.vftbut the bath parallel is something we cannot accept."

In a broadcast Tuesday night. Peiping radio again blasted at the United States. It charged that ”American imperialism is develop- ing a propaganda offensive" to force the use of Japanese man- power "for aggression against Korea and other parts of Asia."

The prosecutor said the charge legally would permit the death sentence. But he added that this might be amended to provide a prison sentence in this case.

He acknowledged "extenuating circumstances" in that Oatis, al- though "the organizer of the spy network.” is a foreigner and that Czechs who spy on their own country deserve more severe punishment.

The 37-year-old Associated Press man gave testimony indicating he tried to report and evaluate events behind the Iron Curtain in a way that would be considered normal in the west. As a result he is being prosecuted under a Communist interpretation of espionage.

In Washington, the stats De- partment said the trial is a "hoax."

But he denied he had taken over any network of espionage. as charged by the Gov- ernment, when he went to Prague in June, ioso.
