frozen North Korean highways,
of hunger. brutality and poor
medical treatment. And one re-
turning prisoner told of tiny
cages where men were punished
"for just saying things out of
the way at Communist lectures" i"
All Try to Smile.
The men were pale and some
emaciated. They limped or were
carried from Communist ambu-
lances. But even the most
seriously hurt tried to smile and
answer questions during this
first stop on their long trip home.
Today's group of 40 Americans
was the biggest returned by the
Reds since the exchange began
Monday. It boosted to 119 the
number liberated.
Some said they were treated
all right. But Pfc. Wayne
Huebener of Franklin, N. H.,
found his captors brutal. He
related in a calm voice:
Il have actually seen only one
man killed. One of our fellows
was carrying him and sort of
went out of his head. The man
fell off this guys back and we
tried to help him up again. He
couldn't get up. A Chinese guard
hit him in the back with the butt
of his rifle and pushed him off
the mountainSide."
Pfc. Huebener was captured
April Is, 1851. He said he was
suffering from skin disease and
bad teeth.
b 400 Died in One March.
Another soldier told of a death
march ing which 400 captives of
the. Communists died. Pvt. Paul
E. Clements. "a, from Indianapo-
lis, said the death march took
place in the bitter cold between
December 1925. 1850.
About 1900 started out" he
said, "and close to 400 died."
Pvt. Clements said the men
died from the bitter cold and
wounds. He was captured Nov.
80, 1850. He said the men had
only field jackets and thin fa-
tigue clothes-American winter
supplies had not reached the
front. It was then that the
United Nations was rushing pell-
nell toward the Yalu River.
Pvt. Clements said he thought
the Americans on the march
died mostly because of their
physical condition rather than
from the cruelty of the Red
guards. He had shrapnel wounds
in one leg when he made the
march.
He looked in good condition
today. Asked if the Reds made
any attempt to indoctrinate him,
he replied: II most certainly
would say they did. It was well
planned"
Left on Road to Die.
Pfc. James r. Dunn Of Ander-
son, S. c., said the Reds left
him by the side of road to die.
Ten days after his capture.
Pfc. Dunn said, he was wounded

by an allied air strike. The
Chinese pulled out and "left me
and another guy alongside the
road. The next day the other
guy died"
Six days later some Chinese
picked him up and, although he
could not walk because of his
wounds
"They 1Nshed me along,
pulled rifles on me; I crawled
uphill afraid they would shoot" :"
Later he was taken to a hos
pital.
Saw Two Carloads of Dead.
Pfc. Harold L. Witt, 81, of
Bartlesville. Okla, also was in a
long march after his capture
December l, 1850. He said:
II didn't see very many die but
there was one place we called
death valley. I saw them carrying
two carloads of dead GIs. Each
contained about 10 guys"
Corpl. Joe. Lindsay Jewell, %,
of Norwood, Ohio, told a story of
hunger and death in Death
Valley" -~
Il say 800 of us went in there
and 40 of us went out.
Most died of maInutrition
The men got so hungry we ate
dog a couple of times.
Men who died during the
night in the same rooms with us
were carried off the next day."

|WoIdeIe, Too Slow for Scouts,
HurIs Fast Enough for Hoyos

Maryland's + attack yesterday.
Waldele struck out four and
walked only two, same as did
Ray DiSibio, the Maryland
pitcher, who gave up six hits.
Hoyas Off to Big Start.
The Hoyas scored three runs
in the fourth inning on a single
by Rightfielder Tom Brett. a
walk to Shortstop Joe Carroll,
an error, single by Vail and a
double by Second Baseman Dick
Ratterman. Waldele singled in
the eighth and was forced by
Brett, who advanced on an out
and scored from second on Car
rolls hit-and-run single.
Waldele now has a 80 record
this season and Nolan is IL,
The Hoyas have a 4-3 record
and Maryland is 80. The game,
the first involving the "big three"
championship among these two
teams and George Washington,
required only an hour and Al
minutes.
After the game Judge said he
still was concerned over the
teams lack of hitting power.
II miss football" he said
when we had football here,
was getting those football play
ers out. They had power.

Rube Waldele, who has won
move than 80 per cent of his
games as a high school and COL
lege pitcher, still isn't likely to
get much attention from big
league scouts.
Waldele is half Of Coach Joe
Judges regular pitching staff at
Georgetown University. Judge
is sold on him. So, among others.
are the players from Maryland,
beaten, 40. by Waldele's three
hit pitching yesterday at George
town.
I'D say he has a good chance
to make good in organized ball"
Judge. former Washington first
baseman, says. "The trouble is.
the scouts won't look, at him
twice. They like to see that real
fast ball. Waldele isn't that
fast"
y Judge Likes His Control.
Waldele may get faster, but
Judge is satisfied with his pitch
ing as it. is.
"I never worry when he's
pitching" Judge says. Hes got
too much control for me to worry
about him. He knows what he's
doing out there"
Waldele also has size; standing
6-feet-1 and weighing 100
pounds. He has won about so
games and lost fewer than 10 in
scholastic and collegiate ball. A
native of Maplewood, N. j., he
won more than 20 games while
losing about five with Columbia
High School in South Orange.
In 1949 Waldele won all II
of the games he pitched for st.
Benedict's Prep in Newark. No
pitchers for st. Benedict's lost
that year or the two previous
years as the team ran up a Ga
game winning streak. He has
won Is and lost three in three
years at Georgetown.
Waldele says he'd like a major
league career, but more immedi-
ate in his plans is the Marine
Corps after graduation in June.
If his plans for a baseball career
fail to materialiZe, he says he'll
try for the FBI or enter the in
surance business.
Judges other regular pitcher
is Bill Nolan, former George
town Prep star. Jack Vail, who
regularly plays first base. also
will get a chance to pitch now
and then, but Vail still needs a
little steadying. The schedule
is such that Judge probably
doesn't. need to look beyond
Waldele and Nolan from here on.

fourth inning and Bob Lake in

gone with the wind and missed
seeing the home stalwarts ship
four homers over the wall via
air express to tie the score.
Not everything was comedy,
though. After various adjust
ments the two clubs got a pair
of pitchers working in great
fashion. From the sixth inning
through the ninth Adrian Zabala
for the Millers and Charlie
LeBrun for the Blues held every
thing but the wind in check.
But the big blow didn't give
up. Minneapolis scored q pair
in the 10th, thanks to another
prank of the capricious wind.
Ziggy Zasinski, the Miller's Sec
ond baseman, tried to bunt,
popped up and got a Texas
League single as the wind blew
the ball over the heads of the
infielderS.
At the end the board showed
the Millers won, 1912. That was

Meyer came to Brooklyn two
months ago today in a compli-
Gated swap involving four other
players and half Of the National
League clubs.
The merry-go-round started
when the PhilS sent Meyer and
some cash to the Braves, who at
the time were still in Boston, in
exchange for First Baseman Earl
TorgeSon. The Braves imme-
diately switched Meyer to Brook
lyn and took In return Jim Pen
dleton, rookie outfielder, and
Rocky Bridges, utility infielder.
Bridges, in turn, was moved to
Cincinnati where the Braves
picked up First Baseman Joe
Adcock. The Redlegs still have
another player. or cash, to come.
Dodgers Profit First.
So far the Dodgers have all the
best of it. TorgeSon has only one
hit in two games with the Phils
"a double in six tries. Adcock,
who made still another move
when the Braves shifted from
Boston to Milwaukee, has singled
and doubled in seven times at
bat. Neither Bridges nor Pendle-
ton has played.
Torgeson's one hit came yes
terday as the PhilS found the
the range for an assortment of
II safe blows off four New York
pitchers. The barrage made it
easy for Curt Simmons to go one
game ahead of Robin Roberts in
their friendly personal rivalry.
Roberts was thumped by the
Giants, Al, on Tuesday.
Thomson Sees No Difference.
The only member of the Giants
who couldn't see a difference
between Roberts and Simmons
was Bobby Thomson. He planted
a first pitch of Roberts into the
upper left-f1eld seats for a home
run Tuesday. And yesterday he
hit a first pitch off Simmons into
exactly the same territory.
Little Bobby Shantz, who suf-
fered bad break to his pitching
wrist after winning "a games last
season. pitched well enough to
win his return to regular compe-
tition, but his Philadelphia team
mates let him down. Two of the
Yankee runs came after errors
and third was a pure gift. Allie
Reynolds scattered the AS seven
