Nam II Demands Daily Truce Talks in Korean Armistice Standoff
In Munsan Korea May 14 Communist negotiators led by Nam II insist on daily truce talks. The Allied command says Reds have shifted to propaganda. Nam I, the North Korean general, warned the Allies would not offer a fresh armistice plan and remains committed to negotiations. He linked the Rose Island prison camp case to claims of inhuman treatment of prisoners. U.N. commander Admiral Joy accused Nam of using obstruction to block joint prisoner screening, the core issue of the arms package. Nam called for renewed talks unless the UN explicitly seeks a break, with 70 000 of 170 000 POWs/civilians opposing Red repatriation. The session ran 22 minutes before Allied officers left to investigate Nam’s charge of flare and strafing by U.N. planes.
