A correspondent in Kaesong of the Daily Worker” reported tofighting had broken out' inside the Kaesong neutral zone. The correspondent, who is reporting the Korean war from the Communist side, said South Korean troops of General Ridgway clashed with a Communist police guard three miles from Kaesong yesterday. The fighting was cont:l?uing last night. Two Communist military police were killed. The Pekin" radio yesterday repeated charges that the air over Kaesong has been constantly violated by Allied aircr?“ during the truce negotiations, it l Intrusions by American aircraft have occurred nearly every day. Tne maximum number of aircraft intrusions in a single day has been as much as 43 sorties."

The radio added: “This refusal, coming bn top of his previous reply and couched in terms so insolent as to render it manifestly unacceptable, is a clear indication of his policy of slamming all doors on a resumption of negotiations."
