The prisoner-cxcliallge issue was referred to the senior dele- gates after Thursday's fruitless meetings. Staff officers have rcached virtual agreement on all points except the issue of volunt- ary repatriation of prisoners. The Communists insist that all prison- ers be returned regardless of in- dividual ivis-ties.

The Reds gave un indication Thursday nn whether they would comply with the Allied proposal for an exchange of 'lcomplele data" "all prisoners of war ever held by elthcr side."

Col. James Miiri-ay, Allied staff officer. reminded the Communists that the prisoner list. handed the United Nations comnintid last De- ccmbcr accounted for about 11,500; and added:

"On Jan. 1 you stated that you had put in order data on all pl'isonCl'S of war captured by your side during the course of hostilit- ies. This included npproximniely 501200 persons. formerly military personnel on oui- side. for iuliom no acacounting has been given."
