fused to change his own demands
The Red position is so firmly
flXeo that in today'S negotiation
session Nam II rejected a United
Nations statement as mot salts
factory" as soon as it was de-
livered.
A U. N. communique said Nam
II made the rejection while speak
ing from a previously prepared and
translated paper"
Zone on 38th Parallel Urged.
In the Pyongyang broadcast
Nam II called on the U. N. delega-
ton ito change its attitude" and
"to take into consideration our de-
mands' for buffer zone along
the 38th Parallel.
He said if the KaeSong truce
negotiations are to make any
progress at all" U. N. delegates
must change their distorted de-
mands they have made up to
now"
U. N. spokesmen have made it
clear that the Allies will not con-
slider a demarcation line on the
38th Parallel. They say the Reds
must change their stand if negoti-
ations are to progress.
No progress was made in today's
one hour and 20 minute session
the 18th devoted to the same
question.
U. N. Moves Rebuffed.
Communist delegates again re-
jected every United Nations at
tempt to break the deadlock. Op-
posing representatives could not
even agree on where their armies
are.
Their next session. scheduled
for II am. tomorrow 9 pm.
Monday EDIT will find them right
back where they started.
A U. N. spokesman said the Red
generals refused again today to
sidestep the deadlock and talk
about something else. They ig-
nored a U. N. invitation to express
their views on demilitarized zone
based on the present battle line.
And they again insisted on a buf-
fer zone along the 38th Parallel.
The difference in view of pres
ent battle positions became appar-
ent when Vice Admiral C. Turner
Joy, chief U. N. delegate, intro
duced map comparing the AL
lied and Red concepts of the fight
ing front.
Brig. Gen. William N. Nuckols,
U. N. briefing officer, said they
were in general agreement but
there were some differences-"par-
tlcularly in the center and on the
f1ankS." Admiral Joy noted they
were practically the same on parts
of the line.
Map Offered by Nam
Gen. Nam had introduced a
map the preceding day showing
the Red concept of the front. His
map compared this with Cd the
Allied view of a demilitarized
zone based on the present battle
line and 90 the 38th Parallel
as a demilitarized zone.
Gen. Nuckols said the Reds to-
day were mo less firm than IN
the past" in insisting the fight
ing be halted right where it
started-on the old political
boundary between North and
South Korea.
Nam insisted it was a just and
reasonable line. This" COM
mented Gen. Nuckols, lis state
ment rather than an argument" "
Communist arguments became
slightly less temperate, Gen.
Nuckols said. Gen. Mans remarks
were sprinkled with such words
as arrogant, absurd and contra
dictory."
Admiral Joy opened the session
today by reading 38-minute
statement. It was an answer to
FIVE questions asked by Nam II.
The North Korean general i'm
mediately rejected the answer as
mot satisfactory"
Gen. Nuchols said Nam. IFS
questions were partly "provoca-
