Truce Talks Narrow On Prisoner Issue In Korea
United Nations and Communist negotiators tentatively settled two of three truce sticking points at Panmunjom. The major obstacle remains the forcible repatriation of 132,000 prisoners, with the U.N. offering to return 70,000 who refuse repatriation while the Reds demand all 132,000. Gen. Ridgway declared no cease fire unless prisoners are repatriated voluntarily or forcibly as demanded by the Communists.
