Indian General
Fails To Win Back
22 G.I.s To Allies
PANMTJNJOM, UP)— Indian Lf.
Gen. K. S. Thimayya failed Tues
day in a personal appeal to coax
22 balky American prisoners to
hear Allied efforts to woo them
home. He said afterward he felt
they never would agree.
Thimayya said he is certain in
his own mind that all prisoners in
the pro-Red north camp—22 Am
ericans, 1 Briton, and 328 North
Koreans—decided to stay with the
Communists because of firm pol
itical beliefs.
Thimayya pictured the Ameri
cans as suspicious and hostile and
pointed out that any who wanted
to go home could do so easily
merely by turning himself over to
an Indian guard.
The Indian ohairman o'f the Neu
tral Nations Repatriation Commis
sion said the 22 Americans told
him Tuesday that after they are
released some plan to attend uni
versities in Peiping and other
cities. Others plan to farm in
China or visit Iron Curtain coun
tries in Europe.
“They say they will work to
wards world peace,” Thimayya
said.
He added that one American
told him that any who change
their minds and decide to go home,
after say five years, will return to
the United States.
(All presumably would be sub
ject to desertion charges and pos
sibly more serious offenses if they
returned openly, howevr.)
Other prisoners told Thimayya
the Communists had told them
“after a couple of years, if you
like, we will take up the question
of bringing your families out
here.”
Thimayya said Indian troops
will not retain custody of prison
ers who have refused to go home
after Jan. 22, removing one of the
last remaining barriers to the re
lease of all unrepatriated prison
ers as civilians.
The armistice provides for their
release on Jan. 22, but the Com
munists have argued that they
must be retained in custody until
a peace conference decides their
fate.
