Perle Mesta To " . ee Be First Visitor To Benefit By ° ee Lifted Restriction, . By THOMAS P. WHITNEY MOSCOW \?—The Soviet govern- ment has opened wide areas of | European and Asiatic Russia to! unrestricted travel by foreigners. | The first visitor to benefit from the new freedom will be Mrs. Perle | Mesta, President Truman’s party- | giving minister *o Luxembourg. The relaxation was disclosed last | might in an official note delivered | to all foreign diplomatic missions | in Moscow. It was regarded as | @ significant step since even for- eign diplomats until now have been | limited in their movements. | (The order gave no indication | that the Soviets’ tight policy on admission of foreign visitors was being relaxed. in recent years only carefully screened—and usu- ally sympathetic—travelers have been given entry visas. (There was no immediate indi- ¢ation from Washington that the Soviet move would be followed by similar U. S. action. Countering Moscow, the U. S. since March, 9952, has required all Soviet offi- cials to get State 2nd Defense De- partment permission before trav- eling more than 25 miles from Washington or New York City. Other NATO nations have followed suit.) Mrs. Mesta, who arrived here June 12 for a visit, plans to leave soon for the Zaborozhe section of the Ukraine, home of the Za- borozhe steel plant and the Dniep- er Dam, Although her trip was ed before the travel bans were xed, observers here figured ‘were~part'o{ the same pat- ee Me phew diet sapareueple the way. for foreign residents to visit much of European Russia and vast sections of Siberia but it still lists many restricted areas.

Even these cannot be visited by car without Prior notice. ‘The new regulations also specify 16-mile-deep forbidden zones along the Soviet Union's borders with five neighboring countries—Nor- way, Finland, ‘turkey, Iran and Afghanistan, There are no such zones, however, tlong borders with such Soviet allies in Eastern Eu- Tope as Poland, or along the Chi- mese-Russian frontier in Asia.

Mookerjee, 52, died early today in Srinagar, capital of Kashmir, where he was jailed five weeks ago for defying a ban on his en- tering the state. Seizure of Hindu lands by the predominantly Mos- lem Kashmir state government had caused agitation and violence by the Jan Sangh in the neighbor- ing Punjab. Officials said a heart attack, following an attack of pleurisy, caused Mookerjee’s death, and that he had been moved from jail to a nursing home as soon as he became ill. A spokesman for Mookerjee’s Jan Sangh faction said until de- tails were forthcoming, his group could say nothing, but “when we know more, rest assured we will have a great deal to say.” Mook- erjee’s supporters were expected to charge the Nehru government had killed their leader, Krishna Kriplani, secretary to Education Minister Maulana Abul Azad, who heads the Cabinet in Prime Minister Nehru’s absence, said the government was “some- | what concerned because people are naturally bound to get excited over an event of this sort.” Despite the threat of immediate here as the ultimate gainer from Mookerjee’s death.

Clark met for 20 minutes today with Rhee for the second time in two days in the Allies’ double - barreled effort to get Rhee’s co- operation, An authoritative source in Tokyo reported Rhee offered Clark a compromise aimed at soothing the breach between the Allies and South Korea. The source said the compromise called for withdrawal of all for- eign troops from Korea; a mutual security pact with the U. S., and resumption of the war unless a péace conference settles the politi- cal situation within 90 days after the signing of a truce. It remained in doubt whether Clark succeeded in his two day - mission to quiet Rhee’s heated ob- jections to a truce that leaves Ko- rea divided.

There was no other reference to the possibility of South Korea’s pulling out of the U. N. command. After talking with Rhee yester- day, Gen. Mark Clark told news- men there was an understanding that if Rhee “felt the time had come to consider such disastrous action, he would discuss it with me before he came to that de- cision,” “That time has not come in my opinion,” Clark saic. Rhee also listed terms he said must be included in an acceptable armistice agreement. They were seas with the points of a com- promise proposal reported earlier today by AP Tokyo bureau chief Robert Eunson, Sources close to the U, S. em- bassy here said Rhee’s terms were wholly unacceptable to the U. N. command. His proposal calls for: 1. Simultaneous withdrawal of both U, N. and Chinese -forcet from Korea. 2. A mutual defense pact with the United States. 3. A three-month post-armistice peace conference with the war to resume if no agreement is reached before the 90-day deadline. About his order releasing 27,000 Red Korean prisoners from U. N. camps, Rhee said: “The U. N. authorities should thank me for it instead of calling me a violator. Did anyone repre- senting the U, N. or the U.
