Revised Truce Plan Discussed for Korea Endgame
TOKYO Allied headquarters outlined a revised Korean truce plan to be presented at Panmunjom next week on a now or never basis. The proposal borrows from the December U.N. General Assembly plan to create a post armistice political conference to decide the fate of about 48,500 prisoners who refuse repatriation. If no agreement is reached in 30 days, all unrepatriated prisoners would be turned over to the U.N. The U.N. Command has gained new ideas from long range talks with allies on the prisoner exchange deadlock, the main obstacle to a Korean truce.
