Panmunjon Hangs Out The Regimental · Beard
Welcome Signs For Crucial Talks Today
Panmunjom, Apr., 6.
Panmunjon, this modern little peace basis in the Korean no-man's-land, hung out the "Welcome" sign today as United Nations and Communist armistice teams returned from six months' enforced leave of absence.
The first task was to discuss the immediate exchange of sick and wounded prisoners during hostilitics, scheduled to begin at 1000.
With that under way, the negotiators were expected to tackle the 21-month-old problem of a Korean cease-fire.
