Communists threaten in Korea truce talks at Panmunjom
United Nations and Communist negotiators traded sharp notes over prisoners of war as North Korea warned of Red armies marching in Korea. Gen Nam II protested Allied treatment of Reds on Koje Island and demanded that roughly 1,000 UN soldiers be accounted for, with 91 names added to an earlier UN list. The session yielded no progress on repatriation of about 100,000 captured Reds, as the command reiterated that no one would be forced to return living soldiers. Another meeting was set for the next day.
