study classes and participating in other similiar activities.

been very friendly with camp leaders, to have been given special consideration by HIS

captors, to have been sincere in HIS acceptance of Communism, and to have attempted

to influence fellow prisoners of war. (Incl 3)

The available documentary evidence indicates that SUBJECT made one record-

ing of a message to a soldier friend in Korea, urging him to write his congressman to

seek an end to the Korean War, and another of a Christmas message to HIS wife and son,

asking them to "do something about" working for 'peace.. (Incl 4)

tively classified as a security risk.

oner, may bo used to intimidate either HIM or HIS family, GOT
