War Prisoner Lists Bring New Strife
MUNSAN Korea December 19 The prisoner exchange sparked new friction in truce talks as Communists labeled the UN list of 132 472 Chinese and Korean prisoners useless while Allies argued the Red total of 11 559 POWs was too small. Subcommittees adjourned with no protest, and negotiators demanded full troop rotation and strict behind the line inspection to prevent buildup. Chinese and North Korean troops could not be identified from the English names, prompting calls to supply lists in Chinese and Korean after Christmas. Brig Gen William Nuckols defended the UN list as a confirmation of information already given by the Red Cross.

They doubted resumption of talks tomorrow and said an official morning announcement would cover a possible Panmunjom session. Rear Adm Libby and staff worked past 11 p.m. likely to dawn, making a 11 a.m. subcommittee meeting unlikely.
