Come Home Parents Plead To Turncoat Son
The parents of Cpl. Arlie Pate, 21, Carbondale area, urge their son to return home from a Korean prison camp where he reportedly stayed with the Reds after three years as a prisoner. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pate spoke after officials of the Veterans of Foreign Wars took them from their farm to record pleas. The family last heard from Arlie in May, and they say letters showed no sign of conversion. The American Broadcasting Co. offers its facilities so mothers of 23 veterans who reportedly remained in Communist hands can send messages.
