Reds Abandon Cease Fire Position in Korea Talks
In MUNSAN Korea on November 15 communists abandoned their push for an immediate cease-fire. UN cease-fire chief Maj. Gen. Henry S. Hodes accused Reds of seeking a legal clause instead of good faith and urged a joint settlement proposal. Reds claimed a de facto cease-fire would result from the agenda, while insisting on a parallel cease-fire line, a stance deemed inconsistent with earlier Chinese and North Korean positions.
