l was told to sit down. At the
senior officers side sat an in
terpreter and the prison COM
mander. I sat tensely a moment,
and then the senior officer said:
Mackenzie, you have been a
prisoner of the Chinese people
almost two years. You have been
held for a crime of invading the
sacred air of China, to which you
yourself have confessed. During
this period we have been in
vestigating your case. We have
now decided to release YOU"
AS he said the word release"
tears came to my eyes. and all
l could say was Thank you.
You will prepare for your
journey, he continued, "and

Accompanied by the COM
manding officer and the inter-
prefer, returned to our
quarters. My companions were
summoned, and the commanding
officer repeated what the senior
officer had told me. followed by
this statement:
THE rest Of you will probably
ask why Mackenzie is being re-
leased and you are not. All We
can answer is that it is the de-
ciSion of our high authorities"
My three companions crowded
around and congratulated me.
They were overjoyed that I was
peing released. but l knew they
felt, as l did. depressed and
bitter that they too were not
being freed.
We held a farewell dinner to
which our captors brought

learned of my mothers death in
my absence.
1t might be a point of interest
that one day I heard a broad
cast in English from an Ameri-
can soldier who had chosen to
stay with the Chinese. He
spoke over Radio Peiping, say
ing he was treated well and
thanking the Chinese Red Cross.
He said he was having an in
teresting time visiting industrial
areas.
We also found out in the next
few months that 1t. Col. Edwin
Heller of Pennsylvania. formerly
commanding officer of the 1l6th
Fighter Squadron, was in a hos
pital near US. The Chinese al
lowed us to correspond with him.
He told us he had had four
bone-grafting operations on a
broken leg, that his progress
after the fourth and final opera
ton was encouraging and he
hoped he would come to live
with us soon. His cast was re-
moved September %, but up to
