Repatriates Tell About Confinement In Jap Prison CampsBy ROBERT BELLAIRE United Press CorrespondentJERSEY CITY, N. J. — Govern, ment officials resumed today the process of inspecting and releasing the remainder of some 1,500 repatriates who were returned to their native land yesterday by the Swedish exchange liner Gripsholm after having spent nearly two years in Japanese prison camps.The repatriates, who returned to the customs of American life yesterday for the first time since shortly after Pearl Harbor, brot back stories of meager diets of fish and rice and strict confinement in small, shoddy Japanese internment camps.They hesitated to speak of their treatment at the hands of the Japanese, fearful that some careless remark may cause added hardships for the 6,800 Americans still confined in Japan or enemy-held territory in the Far East.
