U N Hints Of New Plan For Truce In Korea
United Nations Command plans a potentially bold move to break the stalemate in Korean truce talks as Communists agree to a full dress meeting of armistice delegations. The session will discuss the armistice agreement and three main sticking points: prisoner return choices, a ban on airfield construction, and Communist nomination of Russia as a neutral inspector. The Plenary session follows weeks of stalled secret talks and a staff effort that yielded little progress.
