Reds Claim Only Few Reluctant POWs Held
A Red correspondent said only a handful of war prisoners still in Communist hands would not return. The Reds later said 10 or more of those would be released Saturday. They previously claimed about 360 South Koreans and about 21 non Koreans held, with some Americans among the non Koreans. Allied lists note about 3400 captives once known, over 900 Americans, but the Reds gave no official accounting. Burchett said few, if any, are being held except a reluctant few, due to faulty bookkeeping. An Allied spokesman listed 16 or more prisoners to be released at 11 a.m. Saturday with interview options. The South Korean provost marshal general accused Reds of intimidating anti Red North Korean POWs in Indian custody and warned of blocking further deliveries to buffer zones.
