UN Warns Men to Avoid All Incidents

By United Press EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Thurs day, Nov. 29—Ground fight ing along the 145-mile Korean front stopped today under an informal cease-fire order to the troops. United Nations troops were ore dered not to fire on the Commu nists unless they are fired upon first. Front line dispatches indicated the Chinese had received a similar order. Late last night instead of hunt. ing each other down, the troops of both sides stood idly in their positions—watching each other, It was disclosed that the United Nations front line troops received the order yesterday. Word of Mouth The order, passed by word of mouth along the frozen front, will held good while the truce negotiators at Panmunjom try to agree to a formal armistice by Dee. 27 —unless the Communists star something. As yet there is no indication whether the order applies to aerial and naval warfare, A United Press dispatch filed late last night from the western front said United Nations troops peered across a silent battle line

It |said: “There is of this date, 28th November, 1951, no cease-fire in Korea. “There is hope but that hope must not be sabotaged by wishful thinking. “Until such time that an agreeiment is reached on all points {which will insure an armistice in Korea, the Sth Army will take any steps deemed necessary. to safeguard itself against surprise and to fulfill its mission.” | This communique, while it did not specifically confirm the order to the troops, mentioned no prospective action, except the “safeguarding steps.” Nevertheless, the order halting offensive fire had gone out to the troops and it was in effect.
