Monday, April 27, 1953 Thousands Await POW List For Their Loved Ones By The Associated Press The prisoner of war exchange brought happiness and relief to a comparative ‘handful of American families but for thousands of oth- . ers it meant disappointment and more dreary days of waiting. In the seven-day period last week, 149 Americans regained their freedom in Korea But there are an éstimated 3,000 more still in Communist hands. The end of the exchange Saturday dashed the hopes of their relatives who had waited tensely throughout the week for word their servicemen might be among those freed. Thirteen Americans were in Sat- urday’s trade. Among. the lucky relatives were | Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clay Dean of} Douglass, Kan. They are parents | of Air Force Capt. Zach Dean, re-| leased after two years. “Y’'m wonderfully happy,’ Mrs Daan told a reporter. “At first I cried but the tears are all gone now.” } At Lawton, Okla., Mrs. Cleola; Green, wife of Army Capt.

He was freed after two years and five months. “I knew my boy would come! home,” said Mrs. Villegas. News of Pvt, Earl L. Beck's re- lease momentarily stunned his mother, Mrs, Nellie M. Koopman of Wheeling, W. Va. Then she ex- claimed: “Bless God. I've prayed every day. Bless, God.” ‘The average American eats | about 35 pounds of poultry a year. | a Faal Patty Service!
