Batchelor Says Reds Ordered Americans Not to Attend U N Sessions
In Tokyo a returning American corporal claimed the Red high command ordered 22 American POWs to avoid Allied explanation sessions. Claude J. Batchelor of Kerrville Texas said instructions came through a Communist staffed hospital near the neutral zone camp at Panmunjom. He said several planned interviews were never attended and that he regrets his past beliefs and may seek to aid other prisoners to return home. He noted a Japanese wife and hinted at letters influencing one prisoner to return. The Army expects about 15 days of hospital stay with possible passes, and Batchelor plans a second honeymoon with Kyoko.
