GENS. HARRISON < r~<»*tlnnrd From I'exe 6n»i sion following an armistice. The Communists wanted to operate the system on a majority-rule basis whereas the U. N. elected to follow the “veto" policy of the United Nations general assembly. Major differences between the Communists and U. N. involve final disposition of prisoners. The Communists want reluctant prisoners to remain Ttn custory of a commission indefinitely. The U.
