Communist offer to sign now for Korean armistice accepted
The Communists said they are ready to discuss armistice terms despite Seoul objections. A letter from the red high command delivered at Panmunjom set tough preconditions including South Korean compliance, freeing 27 000 anti Communist prisoners, and ensuring no escape of remaining anti Red inmates. Observers think some demands may be waived when talks resume. The United Nations command and Allied liaison teams may fix a date for full truce delegations. President Rhee remains unsatisfied with any plan not promising unification.
