Truce Plan
.TOKYO Ifl Allied headquarters
today; worked on a revised Korean
truce plan to be presented to the
Beds next week at Fanmunjom
. possibly on a "now or never'
'-' basis. - - :
Authoritative sources who in
sisted on anonymity said the plan
contained some phases ot the India
. plan approved by the Unlied Na
tions Assembly last December. The
Assembly agreed that a political
, conference should settle the (ate
of 48,500 North Korean and Chinese
' prisoners who refused to return fo
', their homelands.
These sources said new ideas
- have been gained by the U, N,
Command In long range, consults
tions with allies on the deadlocked
prisoner exchange Issue, main
stumbling block to a Korean truce.
They took an optimistic view of
' the talks, which resume Monday,
; without revealing what the U, N.
' proposal will be.
They hinted a time limit on the
talks may be enforced with the
Communists being told to act "now
or never.!' This was emphasized
, by. the statement a few days ago
of a high source at U. N. Com
mand headquarters:
"We are not going to let these
things drag out. We are going to
keep hitting at the stumbling blocks
trying to iron them out."
The Red Peiping radio today
' quoted British Communist reporter
. Alan Wilmington as saying:
''Amidst all speculations about
what the Americans may or may
not do next Monday, it is well to
. state clearly what they cannot do.
As far mb the Korean and Chinese
side la concerned, all propositions
to hand the prisoners over to their
enemies is utterly unacceptable.
Any difference of treatment be
tween Korean and Chinese prison-
- ers is utterly unacceptable. Any
restrictions aimed at tying in ad
vance the hands of the neutral
powers (a five-nation neutral repa-
: triation commission) so as to pre
vent proper explanations to the
prisoners, whom the Americans
have terrorized, is utterly unac
cepiabie." Wilmington's statements otten
reflect thinking of the Red truce
delegation.

ance before a Senate committee.
Deputy Secretary of Delense Rog
er M. Kyes was asked about com
parative air strength. A commit
tee member commented that
everyone knows Russia has more
planes than the U. S.
"I don't subscribe to that," Kyes
said.
This served to add to the con
fusion about what is known olti
cially of Russian air power.
Wilson, in a committee appear
ance Tuesday, said it was difficult
to determine the exact size of the
Soviet air arm. The secretary said
he thinks the U. S. has more long
range bombers than Russia.
"Do we have very many more?"
a committee member asked.
"The Iron Curtain is pretty
thick," was Wilson's reply.
But Wilson's apparent uncertain
ty seemed to contrast, with a re
mark last Friday by Gen. Omar
Bradley, outgoing chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Bradley said that, in deciding
crnnw Tl R fnrrps should be.
the Joint Chiefs "have good intelli
