Reds Offer New Plan To Final Truce Bid
The Communists reportedly submitted a counterproposal to the final Allied truce terms in Korea during a 73 minute secret session. The UN Command spokesman would not confirm details and Allies recessed until Saturday amid speculation a counterproposal would be sent to the United States and allies for consideration. The dispute over 34 000 North Korean and 14 500 Chinese prisoners who refuse repatriation remains the major hurdle to an armistice. The Reds proposed deferring to a post armistice political conference, with any unresolved prisoner fate to be decided by the UN General Assembly if the talks fail, a move rejected by the Communists who say the UN is belligerent.
