BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
July IL R.-Argentina's uneasy
church-state truce was Jared
yesterday as police and f1remen
routed Catholic rioters staging
their second anti-Peron demons
tration in "a hours.
The riot landed 13 policemen
and firemen in hospitals and
brought condemnation of the
demonstrators from Santiago
Cardinal Copello, ailing Arch
bishop of Buenos Aires who has
urged a peaceful course in the
dispute.
Sixty persons were arrested
but many were released after
questioning.
In the first violence since the
bloody June Is revolt against
President Juan Peron. more than
500 demonstrators milled through
the Plaza de Mayo near the
Metropolitan Cathedral. Police
trying to disperse the crowd
were stoned.

for "pacification." the demon
strators jeered police and shouted
He must go" in an apparent
reference to the President.
One woman screamed at police:
why didn't you come when they
were burning the churches?"
Firemen quickly moved in,
spraying the rioters with chem
ical foam and brown-tinted
water as police wagons rushed
to the square.
Most of the crowd fled from
the plaza but some gathered q
few blocks away and marched
toward the Naval Club building,
singing the national anthem.
Four fire trucks were rushed up
to scatter the marchers again
with water sprays. Police loud
speakers warned that more de-
fiance would be dealt with
strongly.
The riot broke out shortly
after priests finished reading
from their pulpits a letter from
Cardinal Copello urging Cath
Iolics to refrain from provocative
acts which might divide "our
citizens whose peacefulness and
harmony is our main aspira-
ton"

brought the conversation around
10 money.
Look. We have to pick up
some quick cash before we land
in the States" he said. Have
you any suggestions?"
After q brief silence he began
asking for offers:
II have plenty to tell and win
tell If I'm paid. What's it worth
for our stories-individually or
all three?""
When no offer was forthcom-
ing. Cowart brought out his
cloak and dagger story. He
maintained he had underground
contracts in Red China among
people who worked against the
lgovernment"-White Russians,
japanese, overseas Chinese who
had returned tc the mainland
Iano other dissatisfied persons,
he said.
"The only reason they couldn't
do more was lack of funds" he
declared, continuing:
81 attempted to move these
people from the small towns into
the larger cities-Peiping espe-
Icially-where they would march
down the streets of the capital
in an anti-government parade. /"
Asked just how that could be
pulled of, Cowart countered: !:
Because we were involved as
peace fighters, and the authori-
ties couldn't harm us because of
the publicity given our case" u"
Then he added hastily:
"The plans didn't come cff
because I didn't have enough
money to take all these people
to Peiping."
First reports that the men
were leaving China had said
Cowart wanted to go to Japan,
He said last night his idea had
been to meet certain contacts
in Japan who are on the way
out to China now to make fur
ther plans"
AS the hours rolled on and
the drinks went down, the talk
boiled down to usual parroom
Ichatter-sports. movie stars and
sex. Finally everybody was
yawning and I picked up the

Turncoots Sail for Home
To Face Consequences

HONG KONG, July II P.-
Three former United States
soldiers who changed their
minds about living under Chi
nese Communism sail tonight for
home.
The three men - William A.
Cowart. %. of Dalton, Ga; Otho
G. Bell, "a, of Hillsboro, Miss,
and Lewis w. Griggs, %, of
Jacksonville, Tex.-said they ex-
pect to be prosecuted but are
ready to face the consequences
in order to tell what happened
to them.
Life with the Reds was hell,
they all agreed.
Captured in Korea, they and
20 other Americans refused re7
patriation. Four months ago,
Cowart said, the trio and two
Belgian deserters began demand
ing that the Reds let them go.
The Chinese announced in June
that all five would be released.
Still u. S. Citizens
The Americans crossed the
border into Hong Kong terri
tory yesterday afternoon. Brit
ish immigration officials turned
them over to United States con-
sular authorities, who said they
appeared to have retained their
United States citizenship and
prepared travel documents per-
mitting their direct return to the
United States.
4 The three men returned from
China without any luggage, al
though Griggs carried a parcel
and an extra pair Of shoes.
The consulate paid their pas
sage home on the liner President
Cleveland, due in San Francisco
July 20 after a stop in Japan.
A consular spokesman said they
would be expected to repay the
(passage) money at such time
as they can"
For the voyage home. the State
Department ordered the men re-
stricted to the ship until it docks
in California.
The men all had said they
wanted to visit wartime haunts
in Japan. Cowart said he wanted
to take care of some business
there.
The American Government
has not indicated what is in store

Red propaganda in the POW
camp. But he said he no longer
believes in Communism because
I have now seen the contradic.
tions between what they say
and what they do"
To questioning about Their
conduct in the POW camps
Cowart repeatedly replied: 1--WE
will wait before answering that.
The men said after their re-
moval from the Korean neutral
zone in January, 1854, they were
taken to an indoctrination
camp at Taiyuan. There they
were wakened in a locked COM
pound at 6 am. and spent their
days studying or attending
lectures, with time out only for
physical training, meals and a
nightly movie.
After several months II of the
men were sent to school and six
to factories. Cowart, Bell and
Griggs. along with the two
Belgians, went to a state farm.
Repaired Tractors
The five were put to repairing
the farms 20-odd tractors. They
were the only foreigners among
$50 Chinese workmen.
Il can only describe life on
the farm in one word-hell. We
were isolated. ate like dogs, slept
In barns and there were no
drinks" Cowart reported. He
added that he was paid the
equivalent of about $12 a month,
with about half of it going for
food, a third for cigarettes and
the rest for clothing and other
necessities.
On March IL, Cowart contin-
ued, the group decided "to start
the struggle to get out" Griggs
said he and Verdyck escaped
from the farm but were cap
tured and brought back. Bell
said he attempted suicide once
because he had given up hope
Iof getting away from the Reds.
Families Ready
In the United States. the FAM
lilies of all three men prepared
to receive them.
Bells 21-year-old wife, who
lives in Olympia, Wash, with
their 4-year-old daughter who
has never seen her father, said
she was sure her husband "is
ready to take any punishment
that may be handed out" Mrs
Bell said she would take two
days off from her job at a mill
tary installation to fly to meet
her husband in San Francisco.
Cowart's stepfather, Chester
Green. in Monticello, Ark, said
I"we're awfully glad" his wife's
son is returning to America. Mrs
Green sent Cowart a telegram
Iof love but her husband said she
was sick and could not talk to
reporters.
In Jacksonville, Mrs. Elsie
lGriggs said she felt much bet
ter" since her son was released
I"but I'll feel even better when
he gets home"

Griggs sat silently at first
slipping Coca-Colas and then
switching to beer. Suddenly he
turned to me and said:
you know we aren't very
smart. But I feel positive we
outsmarted the Reds in getting
out. I'm convinced our case was
dealt with by no less than Mac

"They never knew exactly how
to handle us after we started

government to handle our case.

for the trio, except to say thai
they will ''be responsible for any
acts they might have committed.
Because all three and II other
former prisoners of war still in
China have been given dishon-
|orable discharges, Secretary OF
Defense Wilson said last month
he did not think the three re-
turning would be tried by court
martial.
Griggs told a news conference
last night "others want to come
out" of Red China, but he would
not name them. The Chinese,
in announcing that the three
Americans and two Belgians
would be turned loose, said any
of the others could leave if they
desired.
Two of the original %, Ed
ward S. Dickinson of Crackers
Neck, Va, and Claude Bachelor
of Kermit, Tex, changed their
minds and were sent back to the
United Nations Command in
Korea before the group were
moved north in January, 1854.
Both were convicted of collab-
Grating with the enemy, Batche-
lor getting a 20-year sentence
and Dickenson 10 years.
Peiping radio announced last
night that the two Belgians
Roger Devriendt and Louis Ver-
dyk, would be released as soon
as arrangements were complete
with the Indian Red Cross.
The three Americans admitted
at their news conference that
while war prisoners they hao
committed acts which made
them afraid to return home ir
the prisoner exchange after the
Korean fighting. ! None woulc
say specifically what they hao
done. although Griggs spoke
vaguely of writing an article
hostile to America.
The three also pleaded youth
stupidity and the appeal o.
clever Communist propaganda
"A child decided not to e
home-a man decided to q
home" said Cowart, who earlier
had been reported anxious tt
return to Japan rather than te
the United States.
Griggs said he was one Of
"thoSe poor fools who fell for

Griggs said he was charged
once with double sabotage
for "goof1ng UP some farm ma

they were sent and for trying to

'I come from a strict family

my mind to go. I was going re-
Igardless."
All three asked about the trials
Iof Edward S. Dickinson and
Claude Bachelor, two other
Korean POWs who changed theil
minds earlier about staying with
the Communists and were turned
back to the United Nations Com
imand in Korea. They said they
had heard the two men were
free, awaiting another trial. Both
actually are in prison after being
convicted of collaborating with
the enemy, Bachelor on a 20
year sentence and Dickinson fol
"a 10-year term.
do you think we act like
we're abnormal?" Bell asked me
I told him no and he went on:
I'm glad we're not classified as
abnormal.
Look, there's the floor show
This sure beats Chinese opera
where the music is high pitched
and the singing sounds like
whining or something. Man
this is really living"
Later, at their request, thai
orchestra played the first mambo
the men said they had ever
heard. All smiles, the trio kept
time with their feet.
"You know, I never appre.
lciated music before, but sure
know its value now," Bell broke
in..
