NO PROGRESS AT TRUCE TALKS
Airfields Question Again Raised
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 12.30 a.m.) TOKYO, January 18. No progress was made in the truce negotiations at Panmunjon to-day and meetings of the two sub-committees were adjourned. In the truce supervision sub-com-mittee, the Communists again insisted on the right to build and repair airfields during the armistice. The Bth Army reported probing attacks bv the Communists during the night. The attacks were repulsed. Superfortresses again bombed troop positions,' rail and road bridges, and marshalling yards. United Nations and North Korean officers yesterday examined a 30-foot-wide crater on a hill about 200 yards from a village north-west of Kaesong. A few hours after the Communists had alleged that a United Nations plane dropped a bomb on a hill in the neutral zone, Fifth Air Force Headquarters announced that American Shooting Star jet fighter pilots claimed they had destroyed three heavy Russian-built tanks near the fringe of the Kaesong neutral zone yesterday. Korean villagers said the explosion did not kill or wound anybody.
