Poland Quiet On
India's Proposal
For Korea Peace

UNITED NATIONS, NY, Up
Soviet-bossed Poland, which had
been expected to give the Red
reaction to India's compromise
Korean peace plan, suddenly de-
cided Saturday not to speak in
the U.N.'s Donation Political Com
mittee.
Poland has already spoken once
on the Korean question and said
Wednesday that the next time
would be to comment on the In
dian proposals. The Soviet satel-
lite said Friday night it was ready,
but apparently Warsaw - and
inferentially the Kremlin - de-
cided overnight it was not yet
prepared either to endorse or con-
done the Indian initiative.
Poland is one Of the four coun
tries which the Indian plan would
have to take over the problem
of dealing with prisoners of war,
The Communist Daily Worker,
published in New York, took an
ambiguous attitude towards the
Indian plan Saturday.
It hailed its peaceful intent"
rIr4 caid there WAS a eva shin otOn-
inspired maneuver" to take it
over and use it to block Korean
truce.
The Worker, however, published
a statement by Vito NIarcantonio,
chairman Of the American Labor
Party, calling on his party'S mem
bers to urge President Truman
and President-elect Eisenhower to
accept the proposals.
