POWs Deny Turning to Communism in North Korea
Army psychiatrist Lt Col Philip Smith said there is no proof of Communist sympathy among 25 repatriated prisoners at Valley Forge Army Hospital. Only 13 talked, with others avoiding interviews. Some may have faced propaganda, but officials stressed only a few fit the claim, and most insisted their views did not change. A few prisoners admitted false conformance to ease pressure or follow routine. Relatives overwhelmed the hospital, with one man visited by 14 family members.

Shaw Admits Attending 1946 Communist Meetings
Artie Shaw testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee that he attended four Communist party recruiting meetings in Los Angeles in 1946 but claimed he was not an active member. He described being invited to observe how the party operated and said he signed papers only to gain entry, insisting the connection lasted at most a month or six weeks. The hearing aimed to gauge subversive influence in entertainment and education and potential infiltration of sensitive federal facilities.
