The Korean War prisoner exchange moved into its fifth and possibly hottest week as 190 more Americans returned to freedom from North Korean camps. The Communists promised to hand over another 100 Americans tomorrow and 200 South Koreans for a total of 300, the smallest daily total since the swap began 26 days ago. Along with 109 Americans there were 24 British 26 Turks 4 Australians and 250 South Koreans freed on Tuesday. Lt Col James B Carne commander of the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment and Lt Col Paul V Tilles US Air Force who spent nearly three years as prisoners arrived in Panmunjom aboard open trucks. Carne said it feels great to be back while Tilles recounted Communist pressure to sign confessions and broadcast propaganda. He described a 100 mile march over frozen roads as tantamount to a death sentence. As the exchange moves toward its final days the Reds had released 2,927 Americans of the 3,313 they originally claimed to hold and still hold others, including about 250 Allied sergeants awaiting repatriation at Kaesong.
