Truce Talks in Korea Bogged Down Over Airfields
In Munsan on January 12, Allied and Communist delegates failed to bridge their positions on airfield construction during a proposed armistice. The UN demanded a pledge against further airfields, while the Reds called the issue internal and refused to yield. Discussions on prisoner exchange and other terms also stalled, with new meetings set for tomorrow at 11 a.m. local time. The Allied spokesman, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, expressed guarded optimism for a quick ceasefire despite continued deadlock. The Voice of the United Nations Command accused the Communists of viewing any armistice as a pause in war and of using civilians as slave laborers.
