POW Exchange Snarl May
Halt Talks on Armistice
PANMUNJOM, April 28—(AP)—UN negotiator* today
threatened to break off the renewed Korean armistice talks
unless the Communists come up soon with a concrete pro-
posal for exchanging prisoners—last big obstacle to a truce.
Lieutenant General William K. Harrison said the UN
command “does not intend to become involved in protracted
and useless arguments.” And he warned the Reds that they
“should be well aware that we mean what we say."
Official sources in Washington, however, were aald
to see a glimmer of hope that the Reds may be moving
toward a truce despite today’s UN threat to suspend the
negotiations again. -
The session at Panmunjom
was the third since the nego-
tiations were revived Sunday
an effort to decide what
to do with prisoners who re-
fuse to go home.
The Allies asked Die Rede to name
a neutral Mata which would assume
custody of prisoner* unwilling to
return to Communist rule, but re-
ceived no definite answer. The Com-
munist* have Indicated they might
name Red-run Poland or Ciecho-
Slovakia, neither of which would be
