MUNSAN, Korea. Nov. 81
Truce negotiators signed a cease
fire line agreement today and i'm
mediately developed two vital diff
ferences on how to supervise an
armistice in Korea.
United Nations delegates in
sisted on:
/. Joint Allied Communist in
spection teams with free access
to all parts of Korea"
2. Provision against military
buildups by either side.
Neither point was included in
plan proposed by the Reds. who

negotiator as short and sweet"
Supervision Next Problem.
The full five-man negotiating
teams-all in full-dress except for
two drably clad Chinese generals
approved cease-flre line agree
ment opening the way for an ar
miStice within 80 days. Then they
plunged into the next truce ques-
ton. That is supervision of an
armistice. Each presented its own
ideas.
The two plans were in general
agreement on four points: Cd
Shooting to stop when an armi-
stice is signed. (2) a joint commits
sion to supervise the truce, 90 all
forces to withdraw from the buffer
zone and enemy territory after the
armistice is signed, and a. armed
troops to stay out of the buffer
zone.
Vice Admiral c. Turner Joy,
chief U. N. delegate, presented the
seven-point Allied plan after hear
ing the Communist suggestions.

telling the Communists their pro-
poSal wasn't broad enough on the
general principles Gor supervi-

adjournment until II am. We'd

study the U. N. plan.
Fighting quieted along the fro
zen. l45-mile front as the full five
man truce teams met for the first
time since October Is. But the
air war fiared with two deadly jet
battles.
The days truce conference, set
in a Christmas-like landscape in
the snow of Panmunjom, opened
with series of agreements on a
provisional cease-fire line-first by
the staff officers who drew the
line on 14-foot map, then by
subcommittee which had argued
over a buffer zone for more than
three months, and finally by the
full truce delegations.
The truce teams also OK'd a
buffer zone agreement, making the
line the cease-f1re line if a full
agreement is signed within 80
days.
Other Points Troublesome.
The agreement does not halt the
fighting. Agreement first must be
reached on three other clauses
supervision of the armistice, ex-
change of prisoners and recon-
mendations to governments.
Each can be as troublesome as
the cease-f1re line, the first and
only armistice clause approved
since negotiators first met July 10.
Admiral Joy sought to speed
settlement of the remaining points
by proposing each side begin now
compiling necessary data on the
exchange Of prisoners.
The Reds made no reply and the
truce teams plunged into the
problem of supervising the armis-
|tice.
u. N. Proposal Outlined.
Admiral Joy presented the de-
tailed seven-point plan of the
U. N. command. It provides:
l. A cease-fre effective within
ia hours after an armistice IS
signed applying to all forces under
either command.
2. A supervisory organization
with an equal number of Allies
and Reds to carry out armistice
terms.
3. No increase in military forces,
equipment, supplies or facilities.
4. The armistice commission and
it's joint observation teams shall
have free access to all parts of
Korea"
S. Air. naval and ground forces,
including irregulars, to withdraw
from enemy territory.
6. Armed forces will stay out of
the buffer zone.
7. The military commander of
each side shall administer his half
of the 212-mile-wide buffer zone.
