Die Hard Reds Held to Blame
UN officers blamed small bands of die hard Communists for riots in prisoner camps at Pusan and Koje Island. One Pusan riot left one POW dead and 85 injured. Koje hospital inmates staged a sit down strike and were moved to a separate compound. The UN commander increased guard strength by 5,000 as screening showed about half of 170,000 prisoners were admitted as Communists.
