Matador Missiles „ For Korean Defense Boost Defenses To Counteract Reds SEOUL, Korea <UPD — The United Nations Command announced today that Matador missiles capable of carrying atomic warheads have been brought into South Korea to boost its defenses against a huge Communist military build-up in North Korea. The United Nations Command said introduction of the missiles was “in accordance with the spirit and intent of the UNC position stated at the 75th MAC (Military Armistice Commission) on June 27, 1957.” At that meeting, the UNC charged that the Communists had built up military capability “vastly superior to that which they possessed when the armistice agreement was signed.” ' . This Red buildup, the UNC charged, seriously upset the relative military balance which the armistice agreement was intended to preserve, “since the UNC had scrupulously observed the armistice terms prohibiting such buildup.” The UNC saicjl “it considered itself entitled to be relieved of corresponding obligations’’ of the agreement “until the relative military balance has been restored and the Communists, by their actions, have demonstrated that willingness to comply.” If yov nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results
