Communists Push At Korea Peace Talks Agenda
The opening session at Panmunjom saw the Communists demand neutral nations be admitted to the talks, a move opposed by the United States. U N ambassador Arthur Dean urged progress toward a political conference, while Thimayya warned the operation’s chances were very small and subcommittees formed to draft a clarifying letter. The Reds pressed for prisoners to be forced to listen to interviews, while India sided with the West against coercion.
