Reds Demand Change in Indian Prisoner Repatriation Decision
At Panmunjom the Communists urged India to reverse the plan to repatriate unrepatriated war prisoners beginning tomorrow and rejected returning 349 pro- Red POWs. They demanded more time for interviews with 20,039 anti-Communist Koreans and Chinese and favored neutral custody until a peace conference rules their fate. India pressed ahead with the transfer at 9 a.m. EST Tuesday. Allies said prisoners would be freed by midnight Friday. Pro-Red POWs, including 21 Americans, likely remain in custody temporarily. The Red letter opposed returning unrepatriated prisoners to their captors and hinted they would not accept custody if this occurred. The U.N. Command said it will honor obligations and classify anti-Red prisoners as civilians at midnight today.
