CRITICIZES GEN. CLARK SOLDIER CHARGED WITH DISRESPECT TO SUPERIOR OFFICER MONTEREY, Calif. (#—The Ar- my is going to prosecute a veteran sergeant who wrote Gen. Mark Clark that his handling of a Koje war prison camp incident was “re- pugnant and disgraceful.” Sgt. C. Dean Chase, 24, Salt Lake City, was charged Tuesday with disrespect to a superior officer and ordered court martialed. Maxi- mum penalty if convicted is six months in prison and a bad con- actly what I was doing” but ex- pected only a reprimand from Clark. ‘The general instead sent Chase’s letter to Sixth Arm, Headquarters, San Francisco, for “appropriate i mander, to win the release of Brig. Gen. (now Col.) Francis Dodd, held hostage 78 hours by Commu- nist prisoners of war on Koje Is- land, Korea. Clark, Far East com- mander, labeled Colsons promises il” extorted by the Reds. Chase made his letter public. He wrote in part: “When an officer in the military service proclaims himself God and inveighs an amoral privilege of reneging on the sworn word of someone else, the state of the un- state of the world is rious. already know to what Koje. action is among the most disgraceful acts to (in the name of na- militarism) against decency of man.

TUCKMAN pound 77 murdered at least 14 fellow POWs, then meekly sur- rendered to United Nations troops today for dispersal to smaller stockades. Eight bodies still oozing blood | were found in a well by American paratroopers. Five bodies were found in trenches and another in an aban- doned well. One victim’s hands were tied behind his back. Others had been beaten and ropes were taut around) necks. : Twenty anti-Red prisoners scaled barbed wire fences during the night. They said Red leaders had planned to kill them. The 6,288 North Koreans in the compound were the third such group to be dispersed to 500 man compounds in Brig. Gen, Haydon L. Boatner’s campaign for uncon- tested control over the POWs. Prisoners in Compound 95 today gave up the bodies of eight POWs killed in an April 10 riot. A small group of prisoners accompanied the bodies to a prisoner cemetery outside the compound. The 6,400 Reds in Compound 76 —first to be dispersed—fought savagely for 2% hours Tuesday before being subdued by 750 tough paratroopers from the 187th Air- borne Combat Team. Thirty-one Reds were killed in the fight. The Army said seven wounded POWs had died since, boosting the death toll to 38. A new survey showed about 150 pris- oners were wounded. One American bled to death aft- er being stabbed by a crude prison spear. Fourteen other Americans were injured, none seriously. The bloody fight had its effect on POWs in other compounds. Those in adjoining 78 were moved to new, smaller pens without re- sistance a few hours later and 77 sent word to Boatner it would obey moving orders. Prisoners in 77 began lining up in a driving rain an hour and a half before their scheduled evacu- ation. The cleaning out of the enclosure yielded about 65 anti-Communist prisoners who said the evacuation had saved their lives. Thirty anti-Reds fell out of line when groups of Communists were marched out. Thirty-five others assembled in the rear of the compound and waited until all other POWs had been cleared out. Then they marched out. Maj. David Korn, Richmond, Va. an officer of the 187th, said it was apparent many more prisoners wanted to be separated but were | held in the marching columns by die-hard Reds. Two POWs who escaped from Comound 77 told stories of mur- ders during the night. American guards outside the | compound said they had heard | screams inside, North Korean Col. Lee Hak Koo, | a Compound 76 leader now in soli- | tary confinement, told an interro- | gator he thought Boatner was bluffing when he»said he would | move the prisoners by force if, necessary. | Breakup of the island’s 17 big! compounds is expected to take about 10 days. | Polio Death MIAMI (®— Edward Oakes, 29- year-old World War II veteran, died in Variety Children's Hospital here Tuesday of polio, the first polio death in Dade County in 24 | years, | {Salty Tuna Boat PE TI een EF | The character recommendation, project. about you Milwaukee, Wiscen- sin, said that during the recent | research, the worth of the techai- que of purse seining had been in. | vestigated but that they had ex. | perienced better luck with the | hook and line and pole fishing | methods new employed greatly in the West Coast Tuna Industry. | With the pole method, a barbless | hook is employed and the fish a snatched from the sea with a steady pressure so that they can. net escape and are tossed on to the deck.
