Communists Assert 1050 Americans Died In Captivity

FREEDOM VILLAGE Korea P Y Peiping radio claimed today that only 1 50 American and other non Korean prisoners died in Communist captivity but returning prisoners said the toll was much higher. The voice of Red China said Communist members of the Military Armistice Commission had handed over 481 new names of dead non Koreans to Allied authorities. In December 1951 they listed 569 dead. Pic Charles L Cooke 26 of Matthews Va said he had a list of 1425 prisoners who starved or died of malnutrition from January to May 1951 before the Communists took the roster from him. Cooke estimated that 2000 maybe more died in Camp No 5 at Pyoktang. Other estimates by returning prisoners have ranged upward for more than 4000 but a careful analysis indicated the number would fall between 2000 or 4000.
