POW Group Head Denies Charge
Cora Weiss, head of a POW group, denied claims that her committee mailed only to families cooperating with antiwar activists. She said it delivered to all but 52 prisoners, 35 of whom were captured in 1972, and that mail delivery was to North Vietnam, not the prisoners themselves. The group has closed, and warnings about scapegoating were offered amid the end of prisoner repatriations.
