Students Send H.S.T. Ideas on Korea Truce

A group of 24 students and citizens of Cambridge last night decided by a vote of 11 to 4 that, if necessary, the United States should sign a cease-fire in Korea before a definite arrangement for exchanging prisoners of war in Korea has been reached with the Communists.

Those present at the meeting, which the Harvard Peace Council had arranged, also decided to write up the decision and send it to the President of the United States.

Discussion during the evening centered around such topics dealing with the Korean War as "Is the principle of voluntary repatriation worth fighting for?" Most of the two dozen persons present contributed to the arguments on either side of the question.
