U S Rejects Soviet Push to Hasten Koream Armistice Talks
The United States warned that a move to shift Korea armistice talks to the United Nations Security Council could delay or derail Panmunjom negotiations. Benjamin V. Cohen, the U S delegate, opposed Vishinsky’s plan, saying it risks blocking progress and undermines the drive for a swift armistice amid casualties in Korea. Officials view the proposed high level council talks as impractical and likely to complicate already slow talks at Panmunjom.
