UN Charges Ambush in Kaesong as Talks Stall
North Korea accused of ambushing a UN detachment near Kaesong. UN officers suspect a staged incident by NK troops or civilians to pressure cease-fire talks. Four-man subcommittee met briefly amid deadlock, while UN forces seized three hills and fought heavy counterattacks along a broad front from east coast to Kaesong heights. Washington debates Truman Far Eastern policy as Republicans press for Korea unification and accuse administration of appeasement, while Democrats warn against pushing World War III with excessive demands.
