1. There is sufficient city bus transport for civilians at all five North Korean
cities used as ports of entry under the armistice agreement. All the busses are
new, and the majority are Skoda Autobuses. A few new military vehicles of unknown
make have been observed in North Korea. They are larger than a jeep and smaller
than a command car.
2. The railroad bridge at P'yongyang has been rewired sufficiently to allow trains
to cross at 25 to 30 kilometers per hour; whereas in September 1953 trains crossed
at only 2 or 3 kilometers per hour.
Effective 5 October 1954, the air field at Kaesong will be closed for repairs for
four weeks.
