Clark promises counterproposal to unworkable prisoner plan
Gen. Mark Clark said the Allies will submit a counterproposal to the eight point plan for Communist prisoners at Panmunjom. He said it will follow non forcible repatriation principles. Clark met with South Korean President Syngman Rhee in Seoul. The talks occurred amid tensions as Rhee threatened to ignore any armistice that fails to unite Korea. Harrison pressed the issue of prisoners who refuse repatriation, while Nam Il defended the Communist position as requiring only administrative detail. The delegations prepare to reconvene at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
