MUNSAN, Korea, Monday, Sept, 28-- The Allies offered three new proposals Sunday for breaking the long Korean armistice deadlock by giving the Communists face-saying outs on prisoner exchange. The first Red reaction was a scornful "nothing...
Last week the U.S. was seriously considering a new policy of its own which might break the deadlock. The main British weapon against Iran has been the blockade. It has left the Iranians somewhat in the position of Tantalus, who was up to his neck in water but, though dying of thirst, was not able to drink it.

Britain's Sir Alan Patrick Herbert, quixotic wit and author, does not believe that all marriages are made in heaven.

The Korean deadlock is a symbol of the Administration's inability to make real headway in resolving the world crisis. An Administration which will not admit its past calamitous mistakes (e.g., China) cannot set vigorously about retrieving those mistakes...
