India Proposal Seems Headed For Revision 4 ' T ! ’< United States To I Stick By Demands On War Prisoners > | UNITED Y. An Indian proposal to end the Korean war on a formula understood to have the blessings of Communist China seemed headed for major revision today to meet Americanobjections. i An eight-nation gropp set. abbut trying to reconcile the Indian proposal, which was put formally before the United Nations Monday v|ith a peace resolution sponsored bv the United States and 20 other countries. ;The United Staten is sticking by itfe demand itllat therei be no ijs<‘ of force to make prisoners of war return to their homelands after a • cease-fire. < The Indian proposal recommends establishment of a Hve-meniher commission to . take jurisdiction oyer all prisoners of war in demjilitarized zopes. Those electing ;to go home would be repatriated. The problem of those who resisted repatriation would be turned ovpr. after a 90-dayj period, to a jlolitidal conference' on far eastern affairs already provided for |n\ the tentative truce plan agreed upon at Pinmunjom. . • The repatriation copnfiission, proposed by India, woulfltcomprise Ciei'hoslOvakia, Poland, Sweden arjd Switzerland. A fifth men her l—or “umpire” 4- would be selected by these four powers or Ly the general assembly.
India was known to hate sc untied China and informed Sources said New Delhi had received assurances (hat Peiping' wtjuhl "not react against its proposal. The Indians we "e understood to Aire received ho assurances from Russia that it Will support it, however. A top-level U.

It provides for a cease-fire but offers no final',solution of t"fif* t\iaJor problem of a Korean irucej: Wfiat to do with prisoners w 10 resist repatriation, a problem that might |ead to the breakdown of any truce. |i 2.
