Army cracks down on AWOLs shifts 6900 to Far East
Louisville Times cites Army sources stating 6900 convicted AWOL soldiers have been shipped to the Far East as part of a broader crackdown. The policy, plus sterner treatment, reportedly reduced AWOL and desertion by about 30 percent since January, with estimates of 80,000 fewer cases by 1953 compared with 1952. The Army also raised civilian bounty payments for recapture and required runaways to pay apprehension costs.
