Koreo Truce Is Lesson for Indo- Chino
By Riehord Fryklund

Free world diplomats who
now are contemplating a ne
gotiated truce with the Com
munists over Indo- China
might well learn a few lessons
from the last truce signed
with the Reds-the one in
Korea.
The principal lesson: Com
munists will not live up to a
truce unless the other side
is in a position to enforce
the terms with a pointed gun.
Truce agreements are being
observed by the Chinese and
North Korean Communists
only in, or Immediately be-
side, United Nations-held ter
ritory. Elsewhere violations
have been so blatant as to
surprise even the diplomatic
corps cynicS.
An elaborate mechanism
was set up in Korea to stop
the war and to keep the two
sides under neutral supervision
until a final peace settlement
could be worked out. This
naodus DiDendi, as the Presi-
dent termed possible truce
agreements being considered
for Indo-C China. was filled with
safeguards supposed to guar
antee compliance with the
rules.
In Practice
But here is how the major
provisions of the Korean truce
have worked out:
0 Cease fire. Both sides
agreed to quit shooting at a
certain hour, and both sides
complied. An occasional shot
has been fired across the line
since, but apparently the
transgressions are accidental.
At least neither side is dis
satisfied with the way the
e-fire has worked out.
Q Truce zone. The belliger-
entS agreed to leave q 21a-
mile-wide neutral zone be-
tween the two sides. A Mill
tary Armistice Commission,
composed of senior officers of
both sides, was to keep the
zone inviolate. A few viola
tions have been reported. but
on the whole the neutral zone
has remained neutral.
o Prisoners of War. Truce
terms provided for prompt ex-
change of all prisoners willing
to be exchanged. Unwilling
prisoners were to be handed
over to a Neutral Nations Re-
patriation Commission for ex-
plantations and then a free
choice of an old or new home
land. Part of this arrange
ment worked; part did not.
Most prisoners were exchanged,
but 3,400 of them, 944 Ameri-
cans. were never accounted
for by the Reds. Presumably
most died after their capture.
But at least a few are believed
to be held in Communist China
or Russia itself.
The Reds have refused to
admit they hold any prison.
ers-despite evidence to the
contrary-and the Communist
members of the Military Ar
mistice Commission have re-
fused to permit a search for
them. Furthermore. the Com
munist-country "neutrals" on
another inspection group, the
Neutral Nations Supervisory
Commission, have stymied an
investigation by that body.
AS for the reluctant pris-
oners, Communist pickering
blocked most of the eXplana-
tions. The NNRC managed
to repatriate the men in a
way reasonably satisfactory to
the United States. however.

the major breakdown has oc-
Cured. The Neutral Nations
Supervisory Commission is
supposed to see to it neither

this armistice period. Spe-

buildup of arms. A new man

Paraguay

Something was afoot in
Paraguay last week, but no
one could be absolutely sure
what. The inland republic,

South America, is little too
remote to enjoy the services of
a large international press
corps.
But this much was known:
President Federico Chaves had
incurred the wrath of some of
his own boys, and they had
deposed him. Apparently the
coup was pulled off by civ
ilian-military coalition led by
Chaves' public works minis
ter. Tomas Romero Pereira,
and his army commander. Gen.
Alfredo Stroener.

Paraguay musters about 500

Gamma globulin the polio

to physicians who want to use
it on patients exposed to the

The State department of health
said this week that local health

AT the same time, the depart
ment cautioned that gamma glo-

elusive.

the department noted, from the
1858 tests that gamma glo-
bulin is of value in the preven-

The health boards opinion was
based partly, it reported, on a
summary report in the Journal

ton last month.
Because of the division of
opinion" however, the depart
ment went on, it will supply
gamma globulin to physicians
who want it after consultation
with local health officers.
