‘Everlasting Peace’ Terrace—
Chinese Lug U.S. Guns Along Road to Kaesong
! By United Press KAESONG, Korea, July 11—Shabbily dressed Chinese troops, armed with American carbines, Rus-sian-type “burp guns” and British Sten guns, line a five-mile stretch of dusty road leading into Kaesong from the United Nations lines. They stand with their backs to the road. But they turn to make sure that only whiteflagged vehicles move up the “highway” to the truce-confer-ence city. Their junior officers direct the way to the “United Nations house’’—assembly place for the Allied truce team-—and the once-palatial Korean home two blocks away which is the conference site. Neither the United Nations negotiators nor photographers admitted today are allowed to move freely about Kaesong. North Korean guards are stationed around both buildings and permit movement only between the two and along the road south, u u u THE “United Nations house” stands between small hills on the edge of the war-battered city. A stone tablet engraved in Chinese characters faces the house, The inscription reads: “Yung Ting-tai,” which in English means, “everlasting peace terrace.” In every way, the Communists are acting as hosts at the conference and demonstrating that they control the city. Although the United Nations delegation brought supplies into Kaesong, the Communists sent to the “United Nations house” Russian jeeps loaded with beer and ginger ale made in North Korea, chocolate bars made in Leningrad and Chinese cigarets made in Mukden.

By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Staff Correspondent
UNITED NATIONS ADVANCE g yqosiers lose lives in Korea.. 5
BASE BELOW KAESONG, Korea, July 11—The truce talks are ‘on the tracks” and an armistice appears nearer, a member of
the United Nations cease-fire ne-|
gotiations team stated today. But an actual cease-fire is not yet in sight, Col. George Ruhlen of Los Cruces, N. M,, the team member added. “An armistice is much nearer than it was 24 hours ago,” he declared on his return from the second conference with'the Reds at Kaesong. “But the talks may not get down to brass tacks tomorrow.” Col. Ruhlen is also a member of the Supreme Headquarters staff at Tokyo. It was obvious, however, that numerous obstacles remained to be overcome before the United Nations troops, who were still fighting, could cease fire, The third Kaesong conference starts at 8 p. m, Wednesday, Indianapolis time.
