Commission disappearing the
release of nearly $4,000 anti-Red
Korean and Chinese prisoners by
the U. N. command.
Swiss and Swedish delegates
backed the allied action.
1t. Gen. K. s.. Thimayya Of
India, commission chairman, said
the vote was taken to get the
five delegations views on the
record. The outcome had been
expected.
On three previous occasions
India had sided with the Red
stand that the prisoners must be
kept in captive status until their
fate is decided by a Korean peace
conference.

The u. N. command released
the prisoners as civilians Satur-
day. asserting that was required
by the armiStice.
It freed all the $500 anti-Red
North Koreans and $4,000 Chi
nese turned over to the allies by
the Indian custodian command
last week.
The first five ships, carrying
4.065 Chinese ex-POWs, arrived
at Formosa Monday, where the
Chinese Nationalist received the
men warmly. The Koreans were
undergoing processing in deep
South Korea.
There was no word on 81
Americans and 326 other pro-
Red prisoners abandoned in the
neutral zone by Indian guards
at midnight Friday.
The Communist command had
refused to accept custody of the
BAT to back the Red propaganda
position that Indian should hold
the prisoners indefinitely until
o Korean peace conference.
There was speculation on the
allied side that the pro-Red
POWs would remain in their un-
locked compound until Indian
troops leave Korea on or before
