The UN interviewing effort at Panmunjom failed to win South Korean prisoners from the Reds, as thirty men and women saluted with Communist songs before returning to Red custody.

President Eisenhower stated he is in full accord with Dulles on foreign policy and said communist fears will not drive the 1954 elections.
