Silent in Munsan as truce talks pause

In Munsan Korea the truce talks halted for a day as the United Nations Command awaited a Communist response to an Allied armistice proposal. The plan bundles POW exchanges, air-field rebuilding rights, and Russia’s role as truce supervisor, with a possible North Korea air-field rebuild under a wartime pause. The Reds were not expected to move until decisions from Peiping, Pyongyang, and perhaps Moscow are settled. The Chicago Sun Times reports the Allies would back air-field rebuilding in North Korea during a truce if the Communists accept returning three of five POWs.
