Community Auditorium. COMMUNIST PRISON CAMPS Communist prisoners on Koje Island, off the South Korean coast, have embarrassed the United States Army Command frequently in the last six months. The latest prisoner-victory occurred this month when the Communist prisoners. captured the prison Commandant — Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd. Earlier in this same prison camp the Communists had staged a revolt which took the lives of several guards and required the killing of some seventy prisoners. Commun- ists then proceeded to play this incident up all over the world as an example of U. S. brutality. Though the job of controlling a tremendous number of Communists is a delicate one and one in which there are bound to be mistakes, it seems that the United States command on Koje Island has been outmaneuvered by the prisoners in this latest incident, Of course, if such an occurrance took place in a Com- munist-controlled prison camp, the Communist masters | . . % 23, _ |hours by propellor craft.
