India's Truce Proposal May Be the Key Breakthrough
India's bid to break the Korea truce deadlock arrives at the United Nations as a potential turning point. It calls for force to treat or hold prisoners, transfer to neutral zones under a five member Repatriation Commission, and a high level conference to decide unresolved prisoner status after 90 days. The plan faces U.S. opposition over voluntary repatriation but promises an early cease-fire and renewed momentum ahead of a Truman Eisenhower meeting.
