Airmen Treated for Anemia and Minor Exhaustion
Two American airmen held by Communist China are under treatment for anemia and minor exhaustion after a 19 month records backlog. Elmer W. Bender and Navy Chief Petty Officer William C. Smith arrived in Hokolulu to undergo medical checks and clarify pay records. The men, captured after a routine flight from Tsingtao on Oct 19, 1948, are reported in stable condition and headed toward San Diego, with details pending a possible press conference.
