B. policies toward problems con fronting Uie U. N. wUl not be dras tically cnangeo. The Indian resolution calls for a four-nation commission to take charge of repatriating prisoners of war as soon as an armistice is rescued in Korea. The Indians suggested two Com munist and two non-Communist na tions Poland, CsecboslovakU, Sweden and Switzerland. But they added if this wasn't acceptable, four other states not participating in uie Korean hostilities excluding permanent memoera ol uie secur Ity Council could serve. The Com mission would choose a neutral um pire to vote in case of a 2-2 dead- iocs on decisions. The resolution, introduced by In dia's V. K. Krishna Menon after days ol backstage talks with Amer leans, Russians and various parlies in oeiween. declares force will not be used either to prevent or effect tne repatriation ol prisoners. The U. 8. stands firmly against lorcioie return or prisoners woo oppose going nacg to Uielr Commu- nist-ruiea homelands. The Commu nists nave demanded that all pris oners be handed over whether they want to return or not. ine Indian resolution carefullv avoided any mention of screening the prisoners a point to which the Russians nave violently obiected. It calls for both sides to hand over all prisoners to the commission in a demilitarised lone, where thev will be free to return home or to atay under toe commission's control. An American spokesman ex. pressed Uie belief the Indian plan would not work and asserted the commission would not be able to nanaie tne gigantic Job of feeding, housing and administering thou sands of Chinese and Korean prig. oners wno reiusea to go home. The American ' also objected strongly to the Indian proposal that the disposition of all prisoners not yet repatriated 90 days after the armistice would be decided by a political conference. The U.

He said complaints about high prices were general, but criticism of food costs were most common. Among possibilities of effecting; a rollback being studied is the ad visability of a witching from Uie present dollars and cents per pound to a margin-type regulation. If this were done, butchers would recalculate their ceilinsa .i ini. lar intervals to reflect any changes up or down in their whnJesula costs. This method already is used n regulations governing pork and veal, and one official said it would comply with Uie controls law. Irvln L.
