PYONGYANG, Korea, Oct. 81
Delayed Five dirty, bearded,
fieat-bitten American soldiers,
held prisoner for weeks by the
Korean Communists, today await
ed air transport back to Japan.
The five hid in this North Ko-
rean capital for five days before
the arrival Of American and
South Korean troops. They were
liberated Yesterday.
Although thin and bitter from
their treatment by the Reds. the
Americans were in jolly mood
after they got their fill Of Army
chow. They are:
Pfc. Edward G. Holcomb, 10, of
Hamilton. Ohio; Sergt. 1/c Will
liam H. Jones. 27, of Flint, Mich:
Jack Arakaw, 80, of Honolulu
Crank not given); 1t. James B.
Smith, 33, of Columbus, Ohio, and
Sergt. 1/c Robert L. Morris, 25, of
Chester, Pa.
Walked Most of Distance.
Except for one short train ride
Of 80 or 40 miles, most of the
prisoners walked various distances
from South Korea to Pyongyang.
Pfc. Holcomb likened the journey
to the "Bataan death march" ,"
and said Americans unable to
keep up were beaten with stocks,
rolled off to the side of the road
and shot or left to die"
The five said their groups origi-
nally numbered 375 men. When
they reached Pyongyang there
were only 295.
The column was marching
through Pyongyang about six
days ago when the five dropped
out and hid in house. They SUBJ
sisted on flour and water.
They had heard that Americans
were on the way, but they didn't
leave the house until they saw
South Korean flags being dis
played il the streets.
Turned Over to Police.
1t. Smith, a Negro infantry
officer, was captured August l..
north of Sangju, after his COM
pany was wiped out.
They were so busy looting that
they forgot to shoot me-" 1t. Smith
said. Later, when his group was
turned over to Communist police
at Yongdong, I'VE caught hell" he
added.
The police took his boots, hat,
belt and underwear. Nineteen
prisoners in cell big enough for
six were forced to sit cross-legged
and were not permitted to talk.
They got rice twice a day, water
three times.
On the road north from Chongju
there were no cigarettes for pris-
oners but guards teased them by
blowing smoke around them.
