No-Man's-Land
In North Korea
1,000-Sortie Air Staged
Offensive Yesterday AM
London, Nov. 8. -
United Nations forces in Korea may be told to stop at least 20 miles short of the Manchurian and Soviet border to avoid clashes with Chinese and Russian forces.
Official sources, who reported this tonight, said the big Western powers decided on a sort of No-Man's-Land a month ago and left it to the UN High Command to carry out. They did not apparently specify the depth to which
the so-called buffer zone should extend.
But the original intention of creating the No-Man's-Land still stands, the informants said.
Western diplomats were said to believe that both the Russians and the Chinese have some justification
