Tokyo, Jan. 23.
Independent military observers in Tokyo to- night favoured the customary slow Communist build-up technique as the most likely explanation for the Chinese Communist and North Korean in- activity during the last fortnight.
Other suggested reasons were that China's decision to offer cease-fire terms was preceded by orders to field commanders to hold back, or it is an attempt to trap the United Nations forces into rash advances out of good defensive positions.
The Chinese Communists were notorious in the civil war for their very slow follow-up after a victory as illustrated by the lull before the ive months'

SAYS N. KOREAN SERGEANT'S STORY OF LIFE BEHIND LINES
(By WARREN WHITE)
Contral Korea, Jan. 23.
A North Korean sergeant, who was captured here, to- day told Router that most North Koreans believed the United Nations forces would eventually win the Korean war.
He said that the North Korean "human sea” tactics must eventually fail against the United Nations superior fire power. The sergeant said that most North Korean troops liked the Russians and the Americans but hated the Chinese Com- munists.
