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.

At the same time the Big Five
delegates put off until tomorrow
a possible showdown vote on a
successor to Secretary General
Trygve • Lie while the Korean
question is bubbling.
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."

For Trade
WASHINGTON, March 30 (EP)
—Mutual Security Director Harold
E. 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."

declined to comment on McCar
thy's statement.
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.
