Sleeper proposal eyed in latest POW plan for Korea
In Munsan Korea January 2 Allied truce negotiators proposed releasing all prisoners of war and displaced persons with guarantees they would not be repatriated against their will. Reds rejected the plan as unpalatable, while UN spokesmen said it would start man-for-man and progress to all-for-all exchanges with civilians choosing homeward repatriation. The Red Cross would supervise. Meanwhile air and ground actions continued in North Korea with UN aircraft flying 210 sorties and cutting rail at 49 points as deep winter slowed frontline fighting.
