Duck feather king Hyland freed from Viet Cong captivity
Keith Hyland, 54 year old Australian who ran a duck feather business in Saigon, arrived in Bangkok after nine months in Viet Cong custody. He described two failed release attempts and a jungle trek to a prison camp near the Cambodian border. He linked his health decline and deafness to wartime stress and U S air strikes. He will stay in Bangkok temporarily as talks about his return to Saigon proceed and he awaits reunion with his wife Dorothy Ludlow in Phnom Penh.
