Turncoat Fails To Appear Today At Hong Kong
A fourth GI turncoat who chose Red China did not arrive in Hong Kong as expected. Richard R. Tenneson, 22, son of Mrs. Portia Howe of Alden Minnesota, was not on the Canton to Hong Kong train. Officials said there was no arrival date. Tenneson, captured in Korea in 1951, was among 21 GIs who refused repatriation after the armistice and later discharged for staying with the Chinese. The three who returned last summer were arrested but freed after a Supreme Court ruling bars military trials of civilians for wartime offenses. Tenneson’s return would leave 16 ex-GIs with the Reds. Rufus E. Douglas of Texon, Texas, had died in China.
