Change Their Minds Red Newsman Says More POWs Now Want To Return
Communist Correspondent Wilfred Burchett, a Paris l Humanite reporter, says some of the 320 Allied POWs in Red custody now want repatriation though he did not specify numbers or identities. About 20 non-Korean prisoners, likely many Americans, may be among those interested. The detainees are to be handed to Indian guardians in the Panmunjom DMZ area on Sunday, with possible releases only if resolved before then. Indian guards also manage about 14 700 Chinese and 8 000 North Koreans slated for explanations on repatriation as the political conference works out their fate by January 25 1954. The four nation truce panel meets in Panmunjom with Maj Gen Sven Grafstrom noting routine work and the Polish delegate’s absence after Hajdukiewicz sought asylum.

Segregation Ban Seen Coming Gradual in South
The Southern Regional Council says the Supreme Court decision on public school segregation will be received calmly in the South even if segregation is banned. A ban would not cause instant change, affecting only areas in the five pending suits first, with gradual follow up through further lawsuits. The group notes either outcome could prompt varied responses, including possible voluntary desegregation if separate but equal is rejected. The council, comprising white and Black church, labor, business and professional members across 13 states, aims to inform discussions with background on the five cases.
