Reds May Hold
Many More G.I.s
WASHINGTON, Gen. Mark
W. Clark said yesterday the Reds
may hold between 2,000 and 3,000
more American prisoners than the
3,313 they have said they will ex
change.

Korean prisoners:
1. The United Nations Com
"mand has evidence indicating the
Communists hold many more pris
oners who should be returned.
2. '“Thousands upon thousands”
of South Koreans still are unac
counted for and there “may be
between 2,000 and 3,000” addi
tional Americans in enemy prison
camps.
Clark, who will return to his
Tokyo headquarters in a few days,
said the Third Marine Division,
now under way to the Far East,
will be stationed in Japan.
In reply to questions he said
there are no plans now “for any
body to come back from Korea.”
He explained he meant there is
no current intention to move any
large combat unit from Korea.
