Swiss Won't Aid ROK in Truce Negotiations
The Peiping Radio said the final phase of Korean truce talks is ready for signing. Switzerland refused to join a neutral commission to guard anti-Communist prisoners if South Korea blocks the armistice. India’s Prime Minister Nehru said India would serve if invited by both sides, else it must reassess its position. Truce talks recessed indefinitely as staff worked on cease-fire demarcation and armistice texts in Korean Chinese and English.
