Reds Charge Their Names Are Useless
In Munsan Korea on December 19 AP reports a POW exchange stirs fresh dispute in truce talks. Communists call the UN list of 182472 Chinese and Korean prisoners useless while Allies fault the Red total of 11559 POWs as too small. Brig Gen William Nuckols defends UN data noting it matches Red Cross records and contains names, nationalities and camp locations. The Panmunjom subcommittees pause as talks hinge on troop rotation and behind the line inspection before progress. The UN plans a Chinese and Korean language list by Christmas. Peiping radio notes identification by rank and unit soon after.
