Truce Talks Sink To All Time Low As Reds Rebuff Pact
In MUNSAN Korea the Communists rejected the Allies three point truce package, ending secrecy and prompting a UN recess. Ridgway announced the plan calls for 70 000 of 132 000 prisoners returned for 12 000 Allied POWs and airfield repairs and Russian supervision dropped from a proposed net. The stalemate centers on voluntary versus involuntary repatriation with some prisoners signaling they would not return.
