martial that found him guilty
Of collaborating with the enemy
and informing on fellow prisoners
in Korea.
Corpl. Bachelor has the right
Of appeal with his case subject
to review.
The corporal embraced his
mother and murmured. II can
take it," when the verdict was
returned yesterday after the
military panel had deliberated
for 2 hours and IA minutes.
Third POW Convicted.

and last week at Fort Sheridan.
Ill.,. 1t. Col. Harry Fleming was
ordered dismissed from the Army
and to forfeit all pay and allow
ances.
Through his civilian counsel,
Joel Westbrook of San Antonio,
Bachelor told the board he had |
nothing to say concerning his |
conviction. Minutes later his
sentence was assessed.
Cpl. Bachelor. 40. was a pris- |
oner of the Chinese Communists |
at 18, and spent 38 months in
their prisoner -of-war stockades.
1t was in that SO months Of |
confinement, his fellow prisoners
said, that Bachelor took up the
Communist line and informed
on other United States priS-
oners.
Sought u. N. Sanctuary
The Kermit tTexJ youth was
one Of % prisoners who refused
and was one of two
prisoners who finally sought
United Nations sanctuary. Fear,
he testified during his court
martial, kept most of the other
81 prisoners on the Communist
side.
He was found guilty on three
counts of collaborating with the
enemy:
/. He was to, have headed a
Red-inspired postwar organi-
cation of former. prisoners.
2. He accused the United

8. He took part in Communist

Iowa.
Batchelor's counsel pleaded
that the corporal was tempo
rarily insane as a result of brain-s
when he collaborated
with the Reds. Testimony by
civilian psychiatrists and depo-
sitions from civilian sources
backed up the contention. But
Army psychiatrists who ques-
toned him soon after his re-
patriation and during his eight
months confinement here at
Fort Sam Houston testified
Bachelor was sane and knew
right from wrong"
Former prisoners on whom he
was accused of informing testi-
fed against Bachelor. Some
fellow prisoners, however, said
the youths efforts resulted In
better conditions in the prison
stockades. Bachelor fatty de-
MED any informing.
