MOTHER CLAIMS SON VAS SOLD INTO BOND4CE DURING VAR IND
 IS ON' ISLAND, ALEUTI4N GROUP

Declaring her son, Rudolf Pfusa. was sold into bondage while q prisoner of war, to a wealthy Japanese family and is being held a captive by them in ijeko lalso known as FudjD on the Aleutian Islands. Mrs. Matylda Prusova of s. Dalivorsky cis. 1, Prague. Czechoslovakia. has ap- pealed for aid in America.
 The mother offers a reward of 6,C00 crowns to anyone who will liberate her son and assist in his return to his home. She will also pay the necessary passports and travelling expenses. The son Is described as five feet and eight inches tall, has darl1 hair and eyes. a small head and a special mark of identification in that 1e is unable to move a little finger He was born July II, 1893.
 The case has been brougt to the attention of Gov. George A.. Parks through communication to B. M. Behrends. chairman of Juneau Chapter, American Red Cross, from Miss Azile Howaid. case correspondent of the organ ization.
 The appeal was first brought before the Red Cross by the man aging editor of The Daily Svor- nost' of Chicago. Finest + Swift, assistant to the vice chair nan of Insular and Fore.sn oper ations, in turn communicated ,o J. Arthur Jeffers, manager of the branch office of the Red Cross of San Francisco who communi- cated with the Juneau Chapter through Miss Howard.
 Gov. Parks today called atten- tion to the fact that no Japanese reside on the Aleutian Island and there is no place in the Is lands by the name ljeko or Fudii- He said it is his belief the loca- tion meant is not the Aleutian Islands but either the Krulie Is- lands, north of Japan or the Kom' mandorski Islands two or three hundred miles east of the Aleu- tian Islands.
 It may be possible that Prusa was not taken in bondage but is in Alaska and in some way part of the fact was learned by his mother, it was said. Anyone knowing anything of Prusa is ask ed to communicate with the of flee of the Governor.
 Miss Towards letter states that despite the fact formal announce ment has been made that all pris- oners of war have been repatri- ated. the American Red Cross re- eeiyes letters from all over the states, telling that in some in stances (this is especially true of the Greek-Smyrna conflicD prisoners of war were at the time of their release by certain gov ernments taken into bondage by wealthy men and forced to work toward promoting their personal interests. Most of these cases, however, seem to be confined to the activities of the Turks.
