MUNSAN, Korea. Dec. 1 -(Sat- urdsy)-(AP)-Tightly snarled on how to enforce an armistice if one is reached. Allied and Communist negotiators return to Panmunjom for new discussio today at 11 a. m. (9 p. in. Friday, ET).

In heated exchanges Friday. neither side would budge from its position. -

The Reds insisted on withdraw- al of foreign troops from Korea. by stages, starting when an arm-

istice is signed.

The Allies refused to discuss such a scheme and insisted on joint rear-area inspection teams and iron-clad guarantees against increasing troop strength on eith- er side.

Vice-Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief Allied negotiator, told North Korean Lt.-Gen. Nam '11:

"We are going to insist upon those principles. We are not go- lng to agree to immediate with-

drawal of U. N. command forces from Korea." Nam, head of the Red team,

called the Allied proposals "un- reasonable and impractical" and "brazen interference with the in- temal affairs of the other side." Joy rejoined that "only the side objecting in such joint observat- ion can have any ulterior motive.

KEY WEST. Fla.. Nov. 30- (AP)-Tha White House quoted today from a hitherto unpublish- ed secret document to show that the Eighth Army issued orders Monday directing the continuance of hostilities "until the signing of the armistice agreement."

Presidential Secretary Joseph Short read from the document at a press conference in which he denied that ground fighting had been brought to a halt over the Korean battlefront and challenged the accuracy of an Associated Press dispatch from Korea.

Short also took issue with a statement issued by the Associat- ed Press in New York defending the AP story, and declared:

"This statement the Associated Press issued is designed to con- fuse the American people."

Short quoted from what he said was a secret letter of instruc- tions from the Eight Army Nov. 27, Korean time, to subordinate

commands: - "Steps will be initiated to in- sure that every United States.

United Nations and Republic of Korea soldier is fully cognizant that hostilities will continue un- til signing of the armistice agree- ment."

Short said this secret letter was delivered to the President Wed- nesday by Gen. John E. Hull,

OTTAWA, Nov. 30-(CP)-Mem- bers of the Commons. while en- dorsing a 33 N3 per-cent increase in war disability pensions, today renewed demands for increases in penslo to dependents of veter- sins and in the allowances paid to needy veterans prematurely aged by war service.

Veterans Minister Lapointe said that the pensions paid to.depen- dent parents and to veterans with meritorious service will he re- viewed by the Pensions Commis- slon. These pensions were not fixed by statute but set by the lcommission, depending on indivi- dual circumstances.

Govit Annuities Under Fire By Insurance Man

OTTAWA. Nov. 30-(OP)-Two

insurance organizations today urg- ed the government to discontinue the sale of annuities, or, altern- ately, to sell them only at self- supportin-g premium rates. The request was -made first-by the Canadian Life Insurance Of- ficers Association, whose member- ship includes 64 Canadian, Brit- ish and United States companies conducting business in Canada. it was supported by the Life Under- writers Association of Canada, made up of some 10.000 life in- surance agents across Canada.

The two together would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Canada is believed to be one of the few countries among the 12 now in the Atlantic Pact which are generally fslt capable of do- lng more for the common cause than they now are doing.

This opinion is wldey hared among her Allies and is nder- stood to have emerged in the dis- cussions by the charged with . defence needs with threats to economic stability. ' .

Act. The bill would incvrease the maximum amount of an individ- ual annuity to S2400 from sl,200. It would introduce a cash surren- der privilege in government an- nuily contracts for the first time.

The brief said:

"Ii. is the opinion of the life inusrance companies that there has never been any justification for the government. being in the annuities business except possibly to minimize the prospective bur- den of old-s-gs assistance benefits. With the advent of universal old- age pension: even this justifica- tion has largely disappeared.

W. M. Anderson of Toronto. vice-president and managing di- rector of the North American Life Assurance Company. said insur- ance companies feel it is unfair for the government to subsidize the sale of annuities.

The government bore the cost of administering the Annuities Act. The cost now amounted to 3800.000 a year and the subsidy meant taxpayers as a whole were providing cheap annuities for people. mainly in the well-to-do class.

subsidised Competition

insurance companies could not compete with the governments "subsidized" annuity rates. par- ticularly if it was ps0p0IOd to provide a cash surrender privil- ege. On this point, the brief slid: "it is sxlomstlc that no private business of any kind can survive if the govunihent offers at less ban cost. on exactly the same terms, the identical service or , d f as that of the private firm."

llBusiness As Usual” On. Canadian Sector

-lCP)- Canadian commanders posted ”business as usual" in- structions along this sector of the front today.

RED PLANES

OTTAWA, Nov. 30 - (Special).- For the second time in the flour; or Commons this week, W. Chester 5. McLure, Conservative member for Queenls. spearheaded an attack today on granting extensive salary increases to civil servants who are already paid large yearly salaries.

Prior to the afternoon adjourn- ment, he opposed the granting of a. 3500 increase to the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada who now gets s8,000 and another boost of 51,000 to the registrar of the Exchequer Court of Canada whose present yearly salary is 36,500. On Tuesday and Thursday, Mr. Mc- Lure criticized the salary increases to members of the Board of Trans- port Commissioners.

"I am opposed to both these in- creases in salary," the Queen's member told Justice Minister Gar- son who introduced the salarv bills. ':We have been struggling all along to get increases for people such as pensioners and persons on retire- ment. Yet when we'come to these higher positions where the salar- ies aro already large. the Govern- ment gocs to work and gives a big increase. Possibly it is all due to the surplus."

Mr. McLure contended that the registrars of the two high courts are doing work almost exactly the same as county clerks. Mr. Garson replied that the registrars have ”quasl-judiclal" duties something like that of referees. He admitted to Mr. McLure that they do not plead cases.

I must say that I believe in- creases are uncalled for under pre- sent conditions," Mr. McLure per- sisted. These people cannot be de- scribed as overworked civil serv- ants. These men are overpaid now. If the Minister wants to stand in properly with those for whom we have been pleading in other branches of the public service and the men who have given was ser.- vice, he should withdraw this mea- sure."

John Diefenbaker, Conservative member for Lake Centre called the attention of Mr. Garson to the lengthy delays in Exchequer Court judgments. He suggested that the attention of the registrar of that court he called to these long delays which are subject of strong critic- ism across the country.
