Treat him naturally says army chief psychiatrist on POW returns
The army plans for returning prisoners of war from Korea emphasize a supportive family approach. Brig. Gen. Chambers urges relatives to be patient as POWs readjust. Congress extends Missing Persons Act protections, ensuring POWs receive pay and allowances during captivity. Returning POWs gain three months of combat duty pay and Korean GI Bill benefits. Educational aid, loan guarantees, mustering-out pay, and disability pensions extend to ex POWs, with life insurance for those who died in captivity and Social Security enhancements for families.
