As LB 114 now reads, It provides a five per cent margin on axle limits and three per cent on gross weight before stiff, overload penalties apply.

That would leave the Allied delegation Irrp J.y with out South Korean representation. The negotiations and the exact terms remained officially secret as they have since May 25 when the Allies offered a compromise plan.

Choi broke -the secrecy unofficially by announcing joints which he denounced as amounting to "surrender." His main objection was the plan vpuld leave Korea divided with Chine.se Reds on Korean soil. On Thursday the Rods countered with a plan said unofficially to be largely a rephrasing of the May 25 Allied plan. Saturday the two teams met for 19 minutes, then recessed overnight at the request of the Communists. There was no official hint of what was discussed, President Khcc made public Saturday message lo President Eisenhower saying the Allied May 25 proposal was unacceptable to South Korea.

Supply South Korea's armed forces with adequate arms and ammunition. 4. Continue U. S. air and naval force support until South Koreans are able to take over.
