U.N. Opposes Ground Rules For POW Repatriation Talks
In Panmunjom Allied officers accuse the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission of selling out about 22 000 anti Communist prisoners to the Reds while rejecting an English text of the rules. Lt Gen Thimayya Indian chairman says ground rules for persuasion remain and will be pursued, despite protests about brainwashing and forced interviews. A new English version was prepared after a mis translation, and U.N. officials call the letters Communist propaganda. Negotiations resume as Thimayya hopes talks can begin in a few days.
