"Unfortunately," the soft-spok en, silver-haired labor - leader told newsmen, "due to the industry's refusal to bargain with us in good faith, it now appears that a strike at midnight on Dec. 31, 1951 will be unavoidable."

Truce Teams 9 Days until MUNSAN, Korea, Tuesday, Dec. 18-z-(EP)—NegotiatOrs wrangled bitterly without results Monday as time grew short for keaching a full-scale Korean armistice before Dec. '27. That date, only nine days away, will mark the expiration of a 30-day agreement on a provisional cease-fire line based on the battlefront. Each side accused the other of, delaying the talks, but made no move to comnromise. Allied patience was wearing thin, but slow progress apparently had nothing to do with orders given Allied planes to attack any Red vehicles which were not properly identified on the road south to the armistice area. In announcing the orders last night, an Allied spokesman said, "The honeymoon is over. We start shooting tomorrow." Another effort to crack separate deadlocks on exchange of prison ers and supervising a truce was scheduled for 11 a.m., today (9 p.m., Monday EST) in adjoining sub-committee tents at Panmun jom. However, neither side made a formal move to extend the immi nent deadline, and a UN spokes man'indicated no extension was necessary. Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, said Monday night, "The proce dure" is already established . : . there is no question of extension of any time limit."
