Monday, May 25 UPt Allied and Communist true negotiators met for the first tim in nine days today and recessed almost immediately after 15 min utes. The Allies were reported to have asked for secret conferences. Communist correspondents who conferred with Red delegates dur ing the recess said it was called by the Communists to decid whether to agree to the Allied request for secret sessions.

Command reportedly used the time to draft new proposals for handling 48,500 Communist prisoners who refuse to go home. Last Major Barrier The touchy prisoner issue is the last major barrier to an armistice in Korea. Lt. Gen. William K.

Harrison Jr. led Allied delegates into the conference hut precisely at 11 a.m, (9 p.m.. EST, Sunday). The sen ior Allied delegate carried a brief case presumably containing the new plan. Harrison flew to Korea yesterday with Gen.

MUNSAN, Korea, Monday, May 24 United Nations armistice negotiators meet with the Reds today, reportedly to hand over a revised "now-or-never" Allied proposal for handling the 48,500 Communist prisoners who refuse to return home. Possible plans for a new approach to the long-stalemated pris oner issue were shrouded in secrecy by the U. N. Command. But the plan was not expected to deviate, from basic U.

N. policy in Korea. Allied and Communist delegates were scheduled to meet in the Panmunjom conference hut at 11 a.m. (9 p.m. Sunday, EST), end' ing an eight-day recess.

Fly to Korea Gen. Mark W. Clark, U. N. Far William K.

Harrison, chief Allied armistice delegate, flew to Korea Sunday after several days of top level discussions in Tokyo. Neither would comment on the negotiations, but Tokyo sources said there were indications the revised plan would be presented to red delegates on a "last chance" basis. The Reds contend the problem of prisoners who don't want to return to Communist rule should be turned over to a five-nation commission. The Reds then want a four months chance to explain to these prisoners why they should return to their homelands. The Allies proposed, instead, that the 34,000 North Koreans in Allied prisoner camps be reclassified as civilians and released after an armistice, and that only the 14,500 reluctant Chinese be turned over to a neutral commission.

GOP Chiefs 'Desperately' Want Truce Would Be First Top Achievement Honorable End to War Could Favorably Affect Party Future WASHINGTON. May 24 m- Eisenhower administration lead ers were described from within their own Congressional ranks today as being "desperately anxious" to attain a truce in the Korean negotiations which resume tomorrow. An influential Republican who asked not to be quoted by name said he regards the outcome at Panmunjom as likely to affect not only the administration's future course in foreign affairs but its domestic popularity as well.

As he sized up the situation, this official said the American people want an end to the blood letting in Korea. But he said he thinks the public reaction would be extremely bad to any armistice bought by major concessions to the Communists. Want it Ended with Honor "Our people want this war end- ed, but they want it ended with honor," he declared. Although lawmakers who have talked the matter over with State Department officials have denied any major policy changes are in the making, some members of Congress evidently feel there is a trend toward yielding to Communist demands beyond the point some of them want to go. There is some rather plain evi dence, for instance, that Secre tary of State Dulles and others have no real hope of getting at this point a settlement that would leave Korea united, as Sen.

Know-land of California, chairman of the GOP Policy Committee, has demanded. Similarly, the Allies may have to agree to leave to a five-nation commission the makeup of which already has been criticized by Knowland and other Republicans the final disposition of prisoners who don't want to return to their Communist Could Lay Aside Worries However, a Korean truce that met with general approval in this country would be regarded as the first great achievement of the Eisenhower administration. Practical politicians say that for the most part Republicans then could lay aside their worries about retaining control of Congress in next year's elections despite their other domestic troubles. Such a truce also probably would have an immediate effect on U. S.

foreign policy, since it apparently would satisfy one of the three points Dulles has laid down as a test of Soviet intentions to get along with the free world. Dulles said in New Delhi last week that only by halting aggression in Korea and Indochina and agreeing to an independent Austria could the Communists show their good intentions. Endorses Statement Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee applauded Dulles' statement as setting the basic design for an American put-up-or-shut-up policy toward the Kremlin. Many of Wiley's colleagues feel that a satisfactory Korean truce would go a long way toward bringing about the Allied policy unity to be sought at the big-three Bermuda conference. They feel that even without fulfillment of the other steps laid down by Dulles such an armistice would make it almost incumbent on Eisenhower to agree to a big-four meeting with the Soviets.

Speaking at the communion breakfast of Boston Navy Yard workers, the Catholic prelate declared "the habit of work has declined, and the major problem in industry is to revive it again with suitable inducements." "Work is not popular with our generation, Archbishop Cushing said.
