ALLIES OPE FOR DETAILS ON PRISONER TRADE TODAY Elvis To Expand Canada's Health Program Moscow's Press In Attack On 0 Wesiernihiions LONDON. (AP) Moscow's press and radio have launched a violent attack charging the Un- ited stats and other Western nations with racial persecution. This was immediately viewed by observers as an attempt. to divert Soviet and world attention from the bizarre case of the ''doctors' plot," in which there had been implicit admiulons of anti-Jewish activity on the part of Soviet of- ficials. Komsomolskaya Pravda. nowa- papar of the soviet Young Com- munist League, carried a long ar- ticle Tuesday concerning what it called "the oppression of Negroes and other racial minority groups in the U.S.A." Trud. newspaper of the Soviet trade union system. said "Ruhr and American monopolists" by re- militarizing West Germany were reviving Hitler's forced-labor pro- gram and "bestial exploitation of the common people." often in the past the Soviet. propaganda organs have attempt- ed to divert attention from events in Russia's own sphere by accus- ing Western nations of precisely the some activities. I-loving admit- ted the fiasco of the "dootcrs' plot," the intention seems now to he to tell the people that things are far worse in the non-Com- muniat world.

Agreement in principle on the exchange of all sick and wounded prisoners who want to go home was reached apecfily Tuesday. This raised some hop here that an over-all formula for halting the long Korean war may have been found. United Nations and Communist liaison teams were scheduled to meet for the third time in as many days in Panimunjom at ll am. (9 p.in. Tuesday, EST). Five Unsettled Points On today's agenda were five un- settled points in a nine-point pro- gram proposed by the UN com- mand. Four otner points were agreed upon Tuesday. The Communists said they would produce today or Thursday the number of sick and wounded they are ready to hand over. The fig- ures may include interned civilians as well as prisoners. The UN command had a similar figure ready. The UN command offered to start the exchange rolling within a week r agreement is reach- ed on procedure, but the Reds have not yet accepted this. Also remaining were relatively minor questions including the num- ber of people to be allowed in a neutral zone during the transfer, a termination date for the ex- change agreement and. appoint- ment of officers to work out final administrative details. However. the Communists serv- ednotlce they might bring up .5. ditional points which might serve to delay a settlement.
