UN Offering
To Swap Land
With The Reds
PANMUNJOM, Korea
(UP) —United Nations truce
negotiators offered today to
give up 200 square miles of
hard-won territory in east
ern Korea if the Reds yield
an equal amount of terrain
in the west to bring a quick
cease-fire.
U. N. officers made the offer in
proposing a 2 1-2-mile-wide armi
stice buffer zone across Korea at
a subcommittee meeting following
the reopening of cease-fire talks
with the Communists in Panmun-
Jom.
The Communists were expected
to give their answer at another sub
committee meeting at 11 a. m. Fri
day 9 p. m. Thursday EST.
ANXIOUS TO START
Birg. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
U. N. spokesman, said the Reds ap
peared very anxious to start the
new series of truce talks with a
“clean slate’’ and to* let “by-gones
be by-gones.”
“There is hope progress will be
made,” he said.
This led to speculation that the
Communists' may drop their pre
vious adamant demand that the
buffer zone be along the 38th Paral
lel, pre.-war frontier between North
and South Korea.
The 11. N.-proposed buffer zone
would start about eight mils south
of the 38th Parallel on the west
coast, cross the parallel to the
northeast and run four miles above
Kaesong, four miles south of
Pyonggang at the apex of the old
Communist Iron Triangle, 6 1-2
milps south of Kumsong, 15 miles
nort|p of the Hwachon Reservoir,
and reach the east coastyahout 35
miles north of the 38th' Parallel.
For the IT. N.. it would mean
sacrifice of most of the gain.?
made in the “persuader offensive”
on the east-central front earlier this
'month and in the bitter fighting
south of Kumsong on the central
front last week.
It also would mean a withdrawal
of up to 10 miles by the South
Korean Capitol Division on the east
coast.
In exchange, the Bth Army would
get 200 square miles of territory
in western Korea.
