ItTESDA.Y, MARCH 31, 1953 China' • .-Rroppps - e. ~ Peace Plan; vi: LINY:-..:-_. Wants' - Proof TOKYO, TUesday, March 31 (W) —Red China's Premier last night proposed that the 35-month-old Korean War be ended by a compromise of the thorny prisoner of war issue. The proposal was made over Peiping radio. The State Department in Wash ington and the United Nations Command immediately said, in effect, to put it in writing, The 'heart of the broadcast by the Red 'Premier Chou En-lai was his proposal that a "neutral state" take over all those prisoners not willing to go home and let the countries concerned talk it over with them. But he did not make clear if these priSoners would have the final choice. Meeting Scheduled Gen. Mark Clark, United Na tions •Far Eastern commander, said today Chou's plan would get "immediate and careful considera tion" by his headquarters "when and if the proposal outlined in the broadcast is received officially from the Communist armistice delegation at Panmunjom." At the same time, a meeting of liaison officers was scheduled for' 2 p.m: today midnight EST at Panmunjom at the request of UN officers. Nol reason was disclosed but it was believed to be for the purpose of delivering a reply by Clark to an earlier - Red offer for an ex change of sick and wounded pris oners. Back from Moscow Chou'S' Peiping broadcast last night in part resembled an. Indian peace plan and in part a plan pre viously. advanced at , Panmunjom by the Allied truce negotiators. The Reds had rejected both those Chou, only recently returned from Moscow, proposed an "im mediate" resumption of the arm istice talks. But Chou made it quite clear the Reds held mental reservations about the key issue—what ,to do about more than 51,000-Commun ist prisoners• of war who say they don't want to go home. "We are' not selling the state ment short,"• commented a spokes man for Gen. Mark Clark, United Nations commander in the Far East, "but so far it is just a Com munist radio broadcast." The spokesman for Gen. Clark pointed out that as yet no formal written offer had been received as was the case last Saturday when the Reds agreed to Clark's offer to exchange sick' and wound ed under,,the Geneva Convention.

Coming so quickly on the. heels of a Red Chinese agreement to exchange 'sick and wounded pris oners, delegates openly speculated that this might mean a break in the long-deadlocked Korean sit uation. An American source said these should be taken with an attitude of "healthy skepticism." He said the U.S. views such broadcasts and the peace talk in Moscow as "straws in the wind." In the early stages of the Ko rean debate last fall in the UN, Mexico proposed that prisoners unwilling to return home be sent to a neutral state until the' ques tion could be settled. Rafael de la Colina, chief Mexican delegate, expressed profound satisfaction that the suggestion made by his government has found "echo' in the minds of the Chinese and North Korean -leaders." .

Stassen today angrily accused Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) of inter fering with the nation's foreign policy by negotiating an .agree ment with Greek ship owners to halt trade with Red China and North Korea. Far from being abashed, Mc- Carthy retorted that he is going ahead with plans to sign a new agreement—this time with some British ship owners. In a heated face-to-face debate, recorded over a nation-wide tele vision hookup (NBC), St ass e n bluntly told McCarthy that his tactics are "undermining" the Eisenhower administration's own efforts to reach international agreements barring the shipment of war potential materials to Iron Curtain countries. "I wouldn't take your word for it," McCarthy snapped back. At another point, the Wisconsin senator told Stassen: "The committee accomplished *hat you and Secretary' of State Dulles did not accomplish. I high ly compliment the 'three • young men on our staff who did what the whole State Department under former secretary Acheson wag not able to do."

A bitter dispute verging on a constitutional row between the executive and legislative branches of the government broke out as Stassen and McCarthy clashed over the right of a congressional, committee to negotiate agreements with foreign nationals. McCarthy had made it clear in announcing the agreement with Greek • owners of 242 ships last Saturday that he acted without consulting the Eisenhower admin istration. "I don't want any interference by anyone," he said at the time. Under the Constitution, the Pres ident is responsible for the con duct of foreign affairs. It was not clear, however, whether McCar thy's action in bypassing the ex ecutive branch infringed on the President's prerogative.
