A 4 year old China-born American businessman, lame and near sighted from beri beri, arrived in Hong Kong after three years in Shanghai Wardroad Jail. He claimed other Americans remained imprisoned, possibly up to 30. Arnold Kiehn, homeported in Santa Barbara, said he was released last Monday with seven days to leave Red China. He described death and suffering in the jail, with prisoners dying at about 15 daily in one winter and Chinese being shot by Red firing squads at six to eight daily. Kiehn, who spent 30 years in China, was jailed in 1950 on a firearms ownership charge and forced to hunger strike last summer for a trial. He named five others released with him, three Russians, a Pole and an Italian, but did not know their names. He mentioned another American, Dismas Kanady of New Orleans, jailed in 1950, last seen weeks earlier moved from Wardroad Jail to an unknown destination. The State Department later linked Kanady to Delbert T. Kanady of Houston and his Shanghai office role with E. T. Robertson & Sons.
