shattered forces"
There is nothing left to nego-
tiate-the decision is in your
hands," the admiral declared.
Admiral Joy, upon completing
his prepared statement, strobe
from the Panmunjom conference

But Maj. Gen. William K. Har-

tion's chief delegates seat and
suggested recess until tomorrow.
The Reds demanded an almost un-
precedented afternoon session.
Last Concession Made.
It lasted 20 minutes. Gen. Har-
rison said North Korean Gen.
Nam II used it in a feeble attempt
to reply to Admiral Joy in what
Gen. Harrison called plain
drivel."
Another session was set for to-
morrow.
Admiral Joy said in his sting
ing farewell the Allies have made
their last concession on the re-
patriation of prisoners of war is
sue-last roadblock to a Korean
truce.

said, from their refusal to return
prisoners of war who do not want
to go back to Communist rule.
The Allies say that of nearly 170,-
600 Red captives and internees
about 100000 refuse to rejoin the
Reds voluntarily. The Com
munists want all their captured
soldiers back-or no truce.

abandon your absurd proposition
to retain our captured personnel"
Gen. Nam said in a 15-minute
opening blast at the Allies.
He repeated his daily attacks on
q. N. handling of war prisoners.

Of your side which indicates a real
and sincere desire to attain" a.
truce.
Instead" he continued. "YouI
have increasingly presented evi-
dence before the world that you
did not enter these negotiations
with sincerity and high purpose,
but rather =. to gain time to re-
pair your shattered forces and to
try to accomplish at the confer
ence table what your armies could
not accomplish in the field"
"On the 28th Of April" a A1miral
Joy told the Communists, I'VE Of
fered you an equitable and specific
solution to the issues remaining
before us. We told you then, and
we repeat now, that we, firmly
adhere to the principles of hu-
manity and preservation OF the
rights Of the individual.

"These are values which we will
not barter.
g.. Casting aside any pretense

demand that the United Nations
command must return to your side

custody. driving them at the point
Of a bayonet if necessary"
Admiral Joy ended his farewell
with these words:

ceeds me as senior delegate Of the
United Nations command delega-
