Truce Near as Korea War Appears to End
News from Seoul reports peace fever in Allied capitals as talks edge toward an armistice by the war’s third anniversary. A Tokyo official cites a likely prisoner exchange pact. South Korea opposes terms, warning of bloodshed if enforced, while Gen. Clark and other leaders push for prisoner repatriation and swift agreement.
South Korean Leader Denounces U N Over Truce Plan
South Korea's acting prime minister Pyun Yung Tai blasted the United Nations and its armistice proposal as dishonorable and cowardly. He warned of bloodshed if Indian troops or Communist representatives enter Korea after a potential truce, and said the U N plan risks forcible POW repatriation despite assurances. Pyun met President Rhee and U N officials, and said Rhee may reject Clark's advice to cooperate on an armistice, calling any plan like a death sentence.
