New U N unit opens hunt for war prisoners
A new United Nations commission begins work to locate more than half a million World War II prisoners, mostly Italians, Germans, and Japanese held in Russia. Countess Folke Bernadotte chairs with Jose Gustavo Guerrero and Aung Rhine. They will study government replies and press for repatriation, but Russia’s refusal limits direct progress while observers hope public opinion will help. The Assembly sponsored the move last fall, facing Soviet bloc opposition.
