Mass break boosts anti Reds to twenty six thousand
A chaotic escape wave in South Korea saw about 26 000 anti communists bolt from stockades and hospitals in early breaks led by freed prisoners. More than 1800 fled from five prison camps and a hospital on Thursday night and Friday as Syngman Rhee orders released by the Republic of Korea and U N arrangements stirred reaction. The U N Prisoner of War Command reported 25 052 escaping in two days and 9398 remaining in custody, with some differences in totals. The mass break prompted battles with Marines near Inchon and Seoul as U N forces replaced ROK guards to prevent collusion. Officials warned the armistice negotiations could be affected, while Moscow media called the moves provocative.
