Fifty Thousand POWs Die Suspected From Disease
In Munsan Korea the 30 day cease fire line expired amid stalled talks on prisoner exchanges and truce supervision. A UN spokesman relayed Libby remarks that the Communists hinted many of the 50 000 unaccounted Allied POWs may have died from exposure and illness. Despite hopes for a 15 day extension Ridgway’s authorization remained under review as subcommittees adjourned with no agreement. The front remained cold with brief Red attacks near Heartbreak Ridge and UN counterattacks in knee deep snow.

Six Nations Study Unified Army Aimed at European Force
Six Western European foreign ministers met in Paris to discuss pooling troops and munitions into a single European army. They debated whether to appoint a single high commissioner or a board of commissioners, with France and Italy favoring a single commissioner and Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg preferring a board. Leaders proposed a possible European defense minister to recruit 43 divisions over three years, with France and Italy contributing 12 divisions each and Germany and Benelux up to 13,000 men per nation. Optimism rested on France willingness to compromise during a transitional period, hoping organizational differences could be resolved after a trial period.
