FAY WASHINGTON (#—The Army aas laid before the world a docu- mented indietmeat of Communist atrocities in Korea listing 6,113 Americans as probable victims. It tells how captured GIs were dragged on death marches, roast- ed alive, lined up and shot. The document, compiled by the Army’s war crimes division and released last night, includes charts and graphs and photographs of bound, charred bodies. A total of 29,815 “probable” atro- city victims of all nationalities were listed. The statistics weren’t new. They! closely corresponded to an official estimate of 6,000. released after! Col. James M. Haniey of a war crimes investigation unit first brought mass Red atrocities to public notice in November 1951. But in the Army’s new report, what survivors had to say was grim reading. For instance: “One of the boys had no head; it seemed to have been mashed or beaten and was laying all over the road... The other GI had his eyes gouged out, and nothing re- mained where his eyes were except holes.” The report indicated most of the atrocities occurred in the first year of the war when the North Koreans invaded South Korea. There was a smaller upsurge when the Chinese entered the war and hurled the Allies back from the region of the Yalu River. The Chinese were charged with 27.3 per cent, the North Koreans with almost all the rest. The Army said, “it is an inter- esting fact that the North Korean Peoples Army slaughtered most ci- vilians during September 1950. Of these, 14,602 or $4.6 per cent were slain in the last four days of the month.” That included the “Taejon mas- sacre,” where the Reds were said to have killed the occupants of the South Korean city in batches of! hundreds at a time — among! ‘them 42 Americans. | What was not spelled out in the Army’s report was the reason for issuing the detailed account at this seemed related to a report to the |United Nations three days ago by |Dr. Charles Mayo, a U. N. dele- gate and famous American sur- geon. Dr. May’s report gave a scien- stricken relatives. No names were used, of course, Some of the reports on cases read like these: A massacre: “The captives were then escorted to a nearby orchard! where their boots and dogtags were removed and all their per- sonal property confiscated. The prisoners’ hands were tied behind, them with either wire or their own bootlaces. For two days they were’ kept hidden in ravines during the day and forced to march at night. Suddenly on the afternoon of 17 August 1950, without warning, their North Korean guards opened fire upon these bound victims and then left the scene. Thirty-four American soldiers were slaugh- tered in this massacre.” The Seoul-Pyongyang death march: “On 26 mber 1950, Korea added its counterpart to the infamous Bataan death march ‘involving approximately 3376 Amer- icn prisoners of war. Only 296 survivors completed this two-week horror hike.” The bamboo spear case: “Dur- ing December 1950, a South Ko- rean patrol discovered the bodies of five American airmen near Muju. It was apparent from the condition of the remains that the victims had been subjected to fiendish spies the flesh perforated with multiple e- tures, apparently inflicted” by sharpened sticks or bamboo) trial is remote. Out of the accumu- lation of evidence, rumors, accu-| sations and confessions by cap-- tured enemy soldiers the Arm: has prepared material for trial But accused, as well as some witnesses, have gone from Ameri- can hands. Some of them were released in the exchange of war prisoners last summer. Others disappeared in the mass break- outs from war prisoner camps last June. Sen. Potter (R-Mich), in San Francisco now,, is reported picking up eyewitness accounts of felevised publ heatings ws nat le to start in early December, tific account of how the Reds com- pelled “confessions” from Ameri- can war prisoners about germ war- fare—a propaganda point often em- ployed by the Communists.

There were clues to the Army’s reason in a statement by Secre- tary Robert T. Stevens which ac- companied the text. He said releasing details of such “cold-blooded . . . torture and mur.| der .. . is one of the best answers that can be given to anyone who questions the need for strong military defenses,” And he said also: “It exposes the enemy for what Mf the EIk3, he cpoke here ct eke(Farrell, Mrs. Burt Garnett, Mari-jhe is.
