Allies Seek Full Dress Truce Meeting at Panmunjom
UN Command proposed a full dress meeting for Sunday to resume armistice talks after the Communists broke off prisoner exchange negotiations. The Communists claimed about 100,000 prisoners in Allied hands, with 12,100 total captives held by them including 4490 South Koreans. The UN reported surveys showing far fewer prisoners willing to return to Communist territory and reiterated it would not force repatriation. Meanwhile, Allied air and ground actions along the Korean front continued with strikes on railways, bunkers, and tanks, and minor frontline skirmishes reported with no confirmed Allied casualties.
