New Truce Woes Amid POW List Disputes in Korea
In Munsan Korea on December 19, truce talks faced fresh strife as the United Nations POW list of 132 472 Chinese and Korean prisoners was dismissed by the Communists as useless, while Allied negotiators complained the Red total of 11 559 POWs was too small. The POW subcommittee was in recess as both sides pressed for full troop rotation and effective behind the line inspection to prevent buildup. U N and Red Cross information was deemed accessible, and combat along the Western Front saw light clashes with artillery support near Chorwon and small-scale maneuvers elsewhere.
