The discussions will end at 10 a.m. Wednesday (5 p.m. Tuesday Pacific Daylight Time) in Communist-occupied Kaesong. A communique, issued by -headquarters of United Nations commander General Matthew W. Ridgway said that the two opening sessions on Tuesday were held in "open and formal atmosphere." At the outset of the talks, Vice-Admiral C. Turner Joy, head of the five-man Unittd Nations delegation, announced that discussions would be re stricted to military matters in Korea. He said the Allies would not talk about anything else no politics, no economics, no military affairs elsewhere. Allied war correspondents were not permitted in Kae song. Brigadier General Frank Allen, chief of information, announced plans' to send 16 correspondents to . Kaesong ' Wednesday were cancelled be- cause General Ridgway "wifl do nothing to jeopardize the success of the conference." He said that newsmen would be sent to Kaesong "after the conference is on the track and there is assurance that it will stay on the track." A report on Tuesday's sessions was given to the press by an Army officer who had not been at the four-hour Kaesong meetings. He said the Communists had designated a "United Na tions House" in the war-ravaged city for use of United Nations delegates. The Allies returned Tuesday night by helicopter to their "peace camp" at Munsan without comment. When they arrived in Kaesong in the morning, the briefing officer said, United Nations officers were met by American jeeps which preceded them there. Helicopter pilots reported the delegation was met by 15 jeep-loads of Chinese, including some bearing sidearms. They said that armed Chinese stood guard around the field where helicopters were parked throughout the day. RED STATEMENT As the briefing officer .was making his report, the Nor:h Korean Communist radio at Pyongyang said withdrawal of all foreign troops was one of the conditions of a peaceful settlement of the Korean war. The Red radio said that eventual settlement of the Korean problem should be left to the Korean people themselves. However, the Kaesong talks, as outlined by Admiral joy for the United Nations viewpoint, will be restricted entirely to military matters. In his opening statement, Admiral Joy called on the five Red generals to show good faith in the' negotiations and pledged United Nations delegation would do the same. This, the Admiral said, would generate an atmosphere of confidence. Exhibition Gross Take $14,000 . Executive of the Prince Rupert Civic Centre, at a meeting last night, heard that the gross take from the Exhibition (carnival) last, week had been some $14,000. Last, vpar with a eross of $13,000, the carnival cleared about $2800 so it is felt that ths net return this year will be at least that good. 1 Canada Ends German War OTTAWA (CP) Canada today ended her formal state of war. with uermany a state oi wari which began in September 1939 and ended with the publication: of a royal proclamation in the official Canada Gazette.
