of long confinement?
Saturdays riots on the islet of
Yoncho, where % North Korean
Reds were killed end AZ wounded,
raises these questions.
Such violence was understand
able and probably inevitable in
May and June last year after the
Reds had gained control OF their
huge, 5,00O-man compounds on
Koje Island and had seized the
camp commander, Brig. Gen.
Francis T. Dodd.
But Dodd's rescue and the break
up of the Reds into smaller, more
manageable compounds has not
ended even the major violence
as many. hoped and expected it
would do.
Last October, well after the
breakup, more than so Chinese
Communists were killed in riot
in their new camp on Cheju Is
land, far off Korea's southwest
coast. Only last January nearly
80 North Korean Reds met like
fate on the islet of Pongam.
In between have been more than
a score or more of other "inci-
dents" that include murderous at
tacks on Allied guards, shooting
of mutinous single prisoners, and
frequent compound suicides" that
look suspiciously like Communist
lynchings.
What are the reasons for this un-
ending, bloody violence so COM
pletely different from Americas
World War II experience with Ger
man, Italian and Japanese prison
ers of war?
To get these answers and others
like them | made a nine-day tour
of U. N. prison camps in South
Korea-traveling nearly 1,500 miles
by air, train, boat and jeep, and
trudging many other miles afoot.
I talked to high-ranking COM
manderS and to buck private CON-
pound commanders, watched the
prisoners at work, play and rest,
and visited their compounds and
workshops. / saw some prisoners
so savagely anti-American they
spat curses as we passed-and
others so friendly they serenaded
us with brass band.
You cannot see everything in
nine days, but can say without
qualification that not once in any
camp did ! see a single act of
~. N. brutality or mistreatment--
not even minor "hazing." On the
contrary, ! saw many positive acts
Of genuine kindness and friendli-
ness by Allied troops.
It is true that there always was
a steady display of Allied weapons,
and the continual presence Of over
whelming military force. But as
long as the individual prisoner be-
haved himself. he got far more
consideration from his guards, both
American and South Korean, than
any American rookie gets from his
sergeant at recruit camp. AS for
prisoners food, clothing. shelter
and medical care, it was beyond
reproach.
To explain the sudden bloody
outbreaks that have haunted the
Prisoner Of War Command for
more than a year. the American
officers and men give these general
reasons:

camps have never surrendered"

Plans for the Eisenhower
Nixon inaugural ball get big
ger and bigger with each pass

What started out to be a
single dance at the National
Guard Armory has now become
two. They will be held stimuli
taneously in the Armory and
in McDonough Auditorium of
Georgetown University. Tech
nically. they are being de-
scribed as one event in two
sections.
What started out to be a
relatively select guest list Of
5000 (the total capacity of
the Armory, according to Dis
trict fire laws) has suddenly
become a guest list of $4,000.
Gust exactly how this alchemy
was accomplished isn't quite
clear, since the Georgetown
hall is supposed to hold only
5000. making a total capacity
of 5000 at both halls.)
Entertainment Golore
The number of bands and
orchestras scheduled to ap-

promises at least six outstand-

Guests were invited for

Committee Works Hord
Wherever possible those in

mitted to select which hall
they would prefer to attend.
The ball committee is strug-
Cling valiantly to persuade
every one that there is as much
prestige attached to attending
one ball as the other. It isn't
revealing any secret to say
they aren't having too much
success at this.
The committee points out,
quite logically, that the
Georgetown auditorium actu-
ally is much more attractive
than the somewhat barnlike
Armory, and can much more
readily be transformed into
the simulated ballroom Of
great elegance" which they
have promised for both To-
cations.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, q
member Of the ball committee,
did her best to stem the tide.
When informed that bids for
one spot were more In de-
mand. she replied: Tell me
which one it is and I'll 60 to
