U.S. POLICY IN KOREA
Unification Plan Maintained (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 8 Unification of North and South Korea under a single government remained official United States policy, senior State Department officials said today. It was said that a plan had been discussed in the State Department to ask the Communists, in the event of an armistice, to give up all the territory they hold between the 38th Parallel and a line about 80 miles to the north. , The State Department officials said that unification of the North and South hy political means remained the final goal in accordance with United Nations resolutions. The Washington “Post” said that it was not clear what the withdrawal of Communists north to the proposed line would mean to the plan for unification, but insistence on the new line could lay the United States open to a charge that a settlement was not wanted.
