...week at the Kaesong conference table ended as it began, in deadlock over the problem of where to draw the ceasefire line. The U.N. stood fast for a buffer along the actual front-line positions; the Reds stuck to their demand for a buffer zone straddling the 38th parallel. Day after day, both sides presented "clarifications" of their aims. Repeating the U.N.'s view that the parallel is an insecure defense line, Admiral Joy three times asked North Korean General Nam II, chief Communist delegate: "Do you or do you not agree that the security of his forces...
...third week of truce talks at Kaesong started in deadlock. The Communists had demanded, and the U.N. flatly refused, to add the withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea to the agenda of the cease-fire talks.

Armed with a ruling from the State Education Department, it adopted a new regulation which ordered principals to assign "reasonable amounts [of work] outside of regular classroom instruction," and threatened recalcitrant teachers with charges of insubordination...
This week the deadlock seemed as far from solution as ever. The N.Y. Teachers' Guild asked the State Supreme Court for a temporary injunction against the new after-class work rule, and in at least one high school, restive students themselves resolved to boycott extracurricular activities if teachers are forced to conduct them...
