Allies Charge Red Air Plot at Korea Armistice Talks
In Panmunjom on January four the United Nations accused Communists of bringing war planes into Korea for assembly at secret airfields within range of Allied lines during a truce. U N. delegates cited Red prisoners as the source while Reds dismissed the claim as hearsay. The exchange underscored another fruitless armistice session as both sides offered no proposals. Maj. Gen. Claude Ferenbaugh warned of a plan to build up air power during the armistice, while Reds called the demand to halt airfield construction interference with North Korea’s sovereignty.
