Lack of Red Progress Cited.
Washington dispatches said
American officials were inclined
to the view that the Reds decided
to end armistice talks because
they couldn't gain ground in
establishing a buffer zone on the
38th Parallel.
The q. N. has insisted an
armistice demarcation line be
drawn along the present battle
front. which is mostly north of 80.
Washington officials have sus-
pected the Reds started the talks
in hopes of gaining territory by
negotiation that they couldn't
gain on the battlefield.
Admiral joys report said the
fact truce talks were broken off
only two hours after American
liaison officers were called to
make an investigation confirms
the fraudulent nature Of the in
cident."
The admiral had carefully pre-
pared formal reply rejecting the
latest series of charges by the
Reds concerning previous Incl
dents. This reply was delivered
at 9 am, yesterday. seven hours
after the Communists had called
of the talks.

counterpart:

failure to maintain order in the

A charge of q similar shooting
earlier. Admiral Joy said, proved
"groundless and was fabricated for
reasons unknown to the U. N.
command delegation"
Admiral Joy rejected complaints
that white-f1agged Communist
liaison jeeps were attacked by
U. N. planes. But he said Allied
planes would keep on attacking
them unless the Reds complied
with U. N. requests to supply adj
vance notice of movements Of
truce jeeps and trucks.

Joy Stays in MunSan.
Admiral Joy and his staff re-
manned at their tent camp in
MunSan. They kept telephone
line open to the Communists in
Kaesong for any further message
from the Reds.
Rain dripped from the tents of
their advance camp. 1t was the
sort of weather the Reds have
favored for their offensives.
The So-called bombing incident
was the latest of a series of
charges by the Reds that the
Allies violated the KaeSong neu-
trality agreement. Admiral Joy
rejected them all. In a detailed
reply delivered seven hours after
the Reds broke off negotiations,
he said some were fabricated" :"
The Communist word that talks
are "off from now on" was de-
livered to Col. A. j. Kinney and
Col. ]. T. Murray, U. N. liaison
officers.
To get to Kaesong the two
colonelS had to wade the last
100 yards across the Imjin River.
The power boat taking them across
couldn't make it all the way be-
cause Of low tide.
Reds Show Evidence"
At Kaesong a Col. Chang, Chi
nese haison officer, showed them
what he said was an American
napalm (jellied gasoline) tank, a
slight depression in the ground
and other results of what he said
was night attack by one plane
inside the neutral zone.
"Col. Kinney asserted the evil
dence plainly was not the result
OF United Nations bombing" Ad-
miral Joy reported to Gen. Ridg-
way.
Speaking from written notes,
Col. Chang announced there
would be no further meetings"
Col. Kinney asked If Col. Chang
also meant meetings of the sub
committee which was scheduled
to meet at II am. in its seventh
attempt to draw an armistice line
across Korea.
"Col. Chang replied all meetings
were off from now on" Admiral
Joy reported.
Exhaustive Check Made.
Although the American liaison
officers were convinced that there
had been no bombing, the U. N.
command made an exhaustive
check of possible Allied respon-
sibility.
The 5th Air Force reported no
planes were over the area last
night, although an unidentified
plane had been detected by radar
nearby shortly before the assert
ed incident.
Artillery officers reported that
no U. N. gun that could shoot
into Kaesong had been fired dur
ing the night.
No Sign Of Damage.
The information release from
Gen. Ridgway's headquarters
added:
"Cols. Kinney and Murray
found no evidence whatsoever in
support of the charge that q U. N.
plane made several bombing and
strafing passes at Kaesong.

darkness, clearly suggest the whole
incident Is a "frameup" staged
from first to last.
The preliminary report from
Admiral Joy follows:
"At 1880 (11:30 p.m.) % August
(9:30 am. Wednesday EDT) the
Communist liaiSon officer con-
tacted the United Nations COM
mand base camp by telephone. He
stated the armistice conference
site was bombed and strafed at
1920. He requested the senior
United Nations command liaison
officer to come Immediately to
make an investigation.
"I'ordered United Nations COM
mand liaison officers Coils. Kinney
and Murray to investigate.
Reds Found Waiting.
'They travelled by jeep to Kae-
song, arriving there about O200
e a.m) % August.
"On arrival at the conference
house in Kaesong, Col. Chang and
1t. Col. Tsai, surrounded by the
Communist press corps, awaited
United Nations command liaison
officers.
"Col. Chang stated a United
Nations command aircraft had
attacked the Kaesong neutral
zone at 1920, % August. The at
tack included strikes Within the
immediate conference area.
'Lt. Col. Tsai then produced
two marble-sized bits of metal
which he alleged had hit the jeep
of the senior Communist delegate.
"Col. Chang could not say
whether one or more aircraft
were involved. He stated he did
not know how many bombs were
dropped or how many passes the
aircraft had made. He added that
all present including the Com
munist liaison officers, staff as
Sistants and Communist news re-
porters and photographers had
heard the aircraft.
Kinney and Murray were then
escorted to within 100 yards Of
the United Nations command
delegation house and there were
shown a rumpled piece Of rolled
metal about 18 by 80 inches in
size, covered with oil and lying
on the road. Chang asserted this
was a napaln bomb. There was
no bomb crater near and no
scorched earth, but about Is yards
away there was a minor depres-
sion in the earth about "a inches
in diameter and perhaps 6 inches
deep.
Like Grenade Crater.
"Col. Murray judges the de-
preston was a possible result of
. buried explosive force about
equal to a hand grenade. Col.
Kinney is certain it is not a
bomb crater.
"Near the residence of the
Communist delegates three other
pieces Of metal were pointed out.
Two Of these appeared to be
pieces of United Nations COM
mand aircraft. Flush riveting
was noted on each piece, both Of
which were about II inches
square. The third piece was the
fin of a rocket.
mo craterS or burrows were
apparent in the vicinity. The
pieces of metal were either lying
on the ground or pushed in a few
inches.
"On return to the conference
house Col. Kinney asserted the
evidence plainly was not the re-
suit Of a United Nations bombing.
He pointed out there was no
damage to any structure, person,
or even to the crops.
Speaking then from written
notes, Col. Chang announced that
there would be no further meet
ings.
Col. Kinney inquired If Chang
meant subdelegation meetings as
well as liaison meetings.
"Col. Chang replied all meetings
were off from this time
"The United Nations command
liaison officers then departed.

were overtaken by Col. Chang

spokesman indicated tonight.
They have predicted from the
start that the truce meetings
were a Red ruSe to gain time for

The spokesman, who refused to
be named, said "the best thing
for the South Korean government
to do at this time is to keep quiet,
because everything looks so phony
on the Communist Party. My
guess is that the breakoff of nego-
tlations by the Reds is a fishing

Truce Talk Breakdown
Interpreted as Boon
For Southeast Asia
By Fred thompson
,soeiotsd Press Foreign Correspondent


HONG KONG, Aug. ga
breakdown in Korean armiStice
talks Is a dark cloud. but it has
a silver lining for Southeast Asia,
from FormoSa to the southern
tip Of Indo- China.
If the Chinese Reds really
mean to abandon truce efforts
and go on with the war in Korea,
other danger points would get a
further respite from Chinese Red
pressure.
The Chinese can't be two places
at the same time-at least not
with the same power and ferocity.
The Chinese Communists have
built up strength in their south
ern provinces. They have COM
pleted a railroad to the border of
Indo-C China. But they aren't apt
to send troops into Indo-C China,
where MoScow-trained Ho Chlh
Min Is fighting the French, while
they are mired down in Korea.
Moved Toward Burma.
The Chinese Reds have moved
some troops toward the border of
Burma where Chinese Nationalist
Gen. Ii Mi is reported to have a
large anti-C Communist base. If the
Reds didn't have the best part of
two field armies tied up in Korea
they could speedily overwhelm Ii.
And they might use him as an
excuse for invading Burma, too.
AS long as they are busy in
Korea, the Communists are not
expected to try to make good on
all their big propaganda talk about
liberating Formosa from General
iSsimo Chang Kai-shek.
Red belligerency against Brit
aims crown colony of Hong Kong
generally SINNERS down as Com
muniSt troubles in Korea boil up.
While the Chinese are tied up
in Korea there is little chance of
aid from Peiping to the Hukbala-
hap rebels in the Philippines, or
terroristS in Malaga, or infiltra-
tors Of Indonesia.
It's not so much that the Reds
lack the manpower to help. It's
because the Korean war costs so
much.
FamineS Aggravated.
This summer the Communists
raised untold millions in what
they called voluntary subscrip-
tionS from the people. They had
to buy guns, tanks and planes
which Russia didn't give them.
Regional famineS were aggra-
waited by food requirements in
Korea. China has been combed |
for doctors, nurses, mechanics,
car drivers, for all manner Of
people with special skills who
have always been in short supply
in China.
Also, the Korean war has put
Red soldiers against Western fire
power for the first time. It has
brought out some humiliating
1nadequacies in the army of which
the nation had become too proud. |

Christmas 1851

SOMEHOW, CHRISTMAS, 1851 finds the Christian
world on a peculiar pinnacle. A wrong move might touch off a
conflagration which could mean the end of civilization, for if
man today knows anything, it is how to destroy himself. It is
tor this reason that each Assembly meeting of the United Ma
tons, each meeting of what is called the Big Four, each pro-
paganda move from either side of the iron curtain" is ex-
tremely important.
AFTER TWO World Wars, after two attempts at world
bodies before which states might present and settle their dis
puteS, the road to world peace seems even more rocky, and the
goal more difficult of accomplishment In the first World War,
the motto was to make the world safe for democracy, while in
the second, the concept that this war was a war to end all wars
wars somehow perneated the thinking of men everywhere
Five years later, however, has proved and shown experiences
most shocking and disappointing. The world is sharply divid-
ed, and the west must strive for it's very existence because
there is a nation, surrounded by satellites, whose deepest con-
victon is that democracy and communism cannot live in one
world side by side, as evidenced by its latest propaganda line
This line is the direction of bitter vilification at the indvid-
uals in the United States, as almost the last step worked out
by the chief political theoritician.
CHRISTMAS TO the west means peace, understanding
and good will. 1t is the time when thoughts turn to all that is
good, and nobody, however destitute is permitted to feel that
ne is not sharing with everyone else. It is the time when men
renew their faith in those ~intangibles without which nothing
is possible. And so, the Christian world, moving along its way,
insists that differences can be resolved to the best interests of
all, and that freedom of the individual is the paramount right,
the protection of which is the basic duty of government.
WHETHER IN the tropic isles or where, the spirit of
Christmas must not be forgotten. 1t must be preserved as the
foundation upon which the only truly genuine peace can be
built.
IN THIS SPIRIT we extend to all our readers, and every

Clearance Given
Setback By Council
By RANDOLPH [. WHITE

By vote of go at it's November meet

tablish Federal Housing Authority here

Mayor Hamm and councilmen Haden and
Hill. Councilmen Tebell and Barr, the lat
ter being the only Republican member on
the council, voted for passage.
More than two years have elapsed since
Housing Committee was named by Mr..
Tebell during his tenure as mayor 1t made
an extensive and most careful survey of
Charlottesville housing condition and, as a
result, finally recommended to council
that a Federal Housing Authority for slum
clearance ard housing development be es-
tablished here. Supporting the committee
in it's recommendations are such represen-
tative organizations as our Joint Health
Department, Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the opinion of several Federal H3us-
ing experts from other cities in Virginia.
Yet, despite this fact, our City Fathers
hesitate to join the march of progress and
set in no; OH new game of stalling by
appointing another committee to investi-
gate the possibilities of interesting private
capital in building new housing so badly
needed.
Nothing has been mentioned by council
concerning the quantity, quality or low
renta features Of this "new housing"
However, it has been abundantly proven
that local investors, here and elsewhere
alike, simply will not invest their money
in such projects. Expert opinion is unani-
nous the country over that it is impossible
for private capital to provide housing com
parable to that provided with Federal as
sistance. Why? Because private investors
must make a good profit to enable them
to operate, while Federally owned and op
