Torture School
Backed byvFW

The Air Force yesterday re-
ceived q ringing Endorsement
from the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars for its controversial "tor-
ture" school at Stead Air Force
Base In Nevada.
"If similar training were given
combat personnel Of other
branches Of the services, We
would be better prepared In the
event Of another war" VFW
Commander Timothy J. Murphy
wired Air Force headquarters
here from Kansas City. Mo.
The schools Communicable
interrogation course has come
in for criticism as q result Of a
magazine article which alleged
that students were reduced to
weeping and babbling like babies.
The school stan denied these
charges during a visit OF news
papermen last week.
The course. which is voluntary.
is being evaluated to determine
whether it should be changed in
the light of the new code Of
conduct for prisoners Of war an
nounced by President Eisenhower
recently.
Mr.. Murphy said he wished to
commend the base commander.
Col. Burton E. Mckenzie, and his
fine staff for the manner in
which Stead Air Force Base sur

Quoted"
He said he based this view on
a report made by my personally
assigned observer.
1T would indeed be unfor-
tunate If, because a few people
criticize but one phase Of the
program, the Air Force is COM
PEELED to modify its splendid
survival training course" he said.
I'VE of the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars support you 100 per cent. "
The Interrogation course is
only a phase Of the overall pro-
gram dedicated to teaching
downed airmen not only what to
expect from their captors and
how to counter the questions
aimed at probing out military
information but how to evade
capture altogether. and. If cap
tured, to escape.
