Double Stalemate as UN Talks Suffer Inspection Row
PANMUNJOM (UP) Korean truce talks sank into a double stalemate as Communist negotiators pressed to let Korean truce inspectors including neutral Russia examine secret Allied weapons and equipment. Allied and Communist sides also failed to agree on prisoner exchanges after a 12 minute session. The Reds demand inspectors to probe ports behind the lines and possible new equipment entering Korea during a truce, while the UN position would bar broad inspection of specific weapons. Both sides adjourned with no new proposals on armistice terms or prisoner repatriation.
