Two Priests Freed by China Reds
Two Roman Catholic priests, Justin Garvey and Marcelus White, were freed after years of confinement in China. Garvey, 40, from Union City New Jersey, and White, 47, from Waltham Massachusetts, were imprisoned since 1951 and 1952 respectively, amid charges of cooperation with Kuomintang and espionage. They described solitary confinement since July 1952, with Garvey facing possible execution before release. The missionaries crossed from Canton to Hong Kong on the noon train, accompanied by updates on Mrs Homer Bradshaw, a Presbyterian medical missionary awaiting her husband’s release. The release occurred amid a broader pattern of postwar detainee movements.
