Lawyers Progress in Efforts to Protect War Captives Rights
A small group of southern New Jersey lawyers led by Patrick T. McGahn Jr. pushes to shield the legal rights of about 60 Americans held by North Vietnam. They seek to forward a Geneva Convention plea through the UAR and Egyptian channels to Hanoi, hoping access to prisoners for legal discussions. The effort follows reports from Nguyen, the North Vietnamese ambassador to Egypt, that Americans would be treated as criminals if not properly represented. The group acts unofficially within U.S. limits, aided by State Department transcripts, while noting 60 fliers and 60 others remain missing or captive.
