TURNER JOY, chief UN negotiator at the Panmunjom, Korea truce talks, asked for a full-membership ses sion of the truce committee and the head Communist delegate, North Korean Gen. Nam II, accepted. For the first time in two months a full-dress meeting will be held. Since Feb. 19 staff officers from both sides have been at tempting to iron out differences in the respective stands. These talks "got nowhere, so the high level group will try again. , GEN. MATHEW B. RIDGWAY, supreme allied commander in Korea, spoke in Japan on the question of repatriation of pri soners. The Reds demand the forced return of all Communist prisoners, some 40 per cent of which do not want to go back to their homes. Ridgway insisted that these men should not be forced to return, and that this position would be the basis of "any further negotiations." A major propaganda victory for the U.S. may be in the mak ing since Ridgway's stand marks the first time in the history of the white-man in Asia that an occidental nation has shown a willingness to risk some of its own people for the freedom of a group of Asiatics. MOHAMED MOSSADEGH, prime minister of Iran, pledged that his country would support the UN, build up its own mili tary strength, and defend itself against attack "from any direc tion." On the basis of the promise the U.S. will resume arms ship ments to this oil-rich Middle-eastern state. Shipments were stopped on Jan. 8, the deadline for nations to comply with a Mutual Security Administration ruling that they would help build the "defense strength of the free world."' Mossedegh wasn't keen about accepting this condition. He complained that such a commitment would violate Iran's neu trality. Iran borders on the Soviet Union. After an exchange of notes between governments, Mossedegh was apparently more satisfied with the conditions. ' LOUISE SPRINGER of Chicago went to six different den tists and, while they bent .over her with the drill, picked their pockets for a total take of $2,000.
