MuNSAN, Korea R-Allied truce
negotiators told the Reds today
they were wasting time trying to
get the unconditional reparauon
of all prisoners We hold in ex-
change for q small portion of those
YOU hold.
That's what the latest Red plan
amounts TO, said Rear Adm r. f.
Libby, and il is not acceptable.
The Communists insist that pris-
oner exchange plans be adopted
before turning over a complete
and bona fide" prisoner roster.
Libby said that's putting thu
cart before the horse"
He told the Communists they
must make the next move. The
Reds said it's Libby's move.
Col. Andrew j. Kinney described
as strictly goose egg ?.
hour staff officers meeting on
truce supervision.
The Communists suggested last
week that prisoner exchange dis
cussions proceed on the basis OF
original lists traded last December.
Libby demanded a complete list
of prisoners in asking once more
for an accounting Of some 0,00a
missing South Korean soldiers. The
Reds have said they were released
at the front. The u. N. charges
most were impressed into the Com
munist armies.
I'VE have been insisting that YOU
account for them since December
of last year" Libby said. ''The
simple statement that you released
all OF them al the front TO disap-
pear from the face of the earth
obviously is not a credible account.

North Korean Ce. Chang Chun
San lost his temper in the truce
supervision session while debating
whether five or six ports of entry
on each side should be opened TO

Col. Kinney said six ports re

and he could not accept Chang as
a ''logistical expert who could de-
termine u. N. needs.
That made him angry and he
delivered an outhlrst for some
time. /" Kinney told newsmen. He
declared oar position was arrogant
and preposterous
Kinney accused the Reds of try
ing to restrict the number Of ports
of entry and the movement Of neu.

ing on unlimited inspection ef Sc
