Reds Define Neutral Countries Amid Panmunjom Talks
At Panmunjom Allied negotiators pressed questions for two and a half hours but received a single reply from the Reds. The Communists defined neutral countries to include Czechoslovakia Poland and non Communist Switzerland Sweden and Denmark and demanded that neutral teams supervise any cease fire only at ports of entry. They avoided answering how ports of entry would be supervised and rejected another subcommittee on prisoner exchanges while aiming to remove foreign troops via troop rotations. The effort aims for a tentative cease fire by December 2% but progress remains blocked.
