The Reds released Applegate, International News Service corre- spondent Donald Dixon, 25, of New York, and merehant mariner Ben- jamin Krasner at the Lowu border bridge. A U.S. consulate car brought them the 40 miles to the Kong. Applegate gave this account of his grilling about the alleged germ warfare in Korea, which he said began after the Reds found out he had been a war correspondent in Korea: The first time he was ques- tioned, he got angry and shouted back, “That’s a lie. There were no germs dropped in Korea.” The Communist interroga- tor pounded the desk and yelled, “You lie! You lie! If you don’t tell the truth, we'll kill you. Go while.” After long hours, Applegate con- , he began to confess to the lerm warfare but the Reds quickly contained germs. I agreed.” All three men smiled and then laughed almost hysterically as they stepped from the comsulate car to be greeted by almost 7 reporters and cameramen. “Well, I see the newsmen make the news today,” Applegate shouted im his usual} bantering manner. Applegate said at the end of the news conference he believed the Communists had benefited the Chi. nese materially by balting graft, opium smoking and drug traffie “but all at the of the per sonal liberty of the people.” All three men bearded, Dixon, 25, seemed the worst shape—thin and very j The trio had been faptured the Reds March 21, 3 ah sailing Applegatr’s y; to the Portuguese colo of ‘ “The Reds dir not that they were holdig th men until last May ¢ the a con- ference.

By his own word, he was twice a murderer, perhaps three times; a@ car thief and a dope pusher, all within a few short months of 14 years ago.

Ray said he fetched a ‘etter from her bosom as the prize of his crime. r The letter, according to his con- fession, was written by his preg- nant girl friend, threatening in a fit of anger to expose his dope selling to students. He said he had nothing against Miss Taylor.
