Communists Weigh U N Truce Plan and Silence
In Munsan Korea on April 30 communist negotiators studied the Allied “over-all” truce plan for ending the Korean War and offered no reply. The United Nations proposal aimed to resolve the five key issues, including a ban on military airfields, while seeking to define prisoner exchanges. The Allies reportedly proposed returning about three of five prisoners, with 169,000 total prisoners and internees and 132,000 named in the exchange list. 37,000 were civilian internees. The stalemate could be broken if the plan is accepted, though Moscow was urged to remove Russia from the neutral nations policing the truce.
