Immediately went to the nearby

Allied ENJOYS three quart bottles
of soda which contained. in Gen.
Nuckols words, "a facsimile of
beer"
Asked if the U. N. delegation
drank the beverages, Gen. Nuckols
said they were tasted"
Gen. Nuckols stressed the dis
cussions have been essentially
restatement of points made previ-
ously. Little, if any, real progress
is being made.
Bow to U. N. Demands Twice.
The Reds bowed to U. N. de-
mandS twice, in making Kaesong
| a neutral 'ity and agreeing to
postpone discussion of the with
drawal of foreign troops from
Korea.
The negotiators may decide to
drop the buffer zone problem for
the time being and pass on to
other points of the agenda. If
they do, they may find those
points just as hard to solve.
Still to be discussed are: ~
Concrete arrangements to end the
shooting and supervise the truce,
(2) arrangements for an exchange
of prisoners and CD recommended
tons to the governments of coun-
tries concerned on both sides.
The latter problem would in
clude the Red demand for a
withdrawal of all foreign troops.
The two truce teams are miles
apart in their views on the buffer
zone. The present battle lines.
where the U. N wants the line to
be drawn, is IS miles deep into
Red Korea on the east coast. It
averages about 20 miles deep on
the central front and dips south
below the parallel only on the
west.
In addition to the buffer zone
across the Korean peninsula, the
ENJOYS also may discuss a three
mile naval neutral zone offshore.
United Nations warships have al
most complete control of the seas,
particularly on the east coast
where they have pounded Wonsan
inceSSently.
Koreans Demand Unity.
While the negotiatorS talked be-
hind closed doors today, Koreans
in Seoul made no secret of their
feelings.
They paraded through the
downtown area. carrying placards
and shouting slogans demanding
AN armiStice which would COM
Ipletely unity the country. -
Some of the slogans read:
Down with the 38th Parallel"
mo peace on the 38th Parallel.
1--WE reject armistice without uni
If1cation."
The parade stretched out over
10 city blocks. 1t circled the bust
ness district and passed the empty
capital building and several
United States 9Th Army head
quarters buildings.
