Next to Last U.S. Casualty
List Totals 142,294
WASHINGTON, GP) — The De
fense Department Wednesday an
nounced a new total of 142,294
U.S. battle casualties in what may
be the next to last weekly sum
mary of the Korean war.
The new total was 589 higher
than last week’s. It reflected the
start of the prisoner exchange by
listing 35 fewer current missing
and 166 fewer known prisoners.
Wednesday’s summary did not
reflect the Communist report that
1,169 Americans died in captivity
or escaped from Red prison
camps. The military services con
tinued to view with suspicion the
lists of dead furnished by the
Communists.
Therefore the men identified by
the Reds as having died will con
tinue to be listed as missing in
action until all efforts to deter
mine their fate have been made.
. The new summary, through last
Friday showed:
Killed in action. 22,706
Wounded .105,980
Missing . 13,608

ation we possibly can from all
returning POWs about those sol
diers who are missing,” Stevens

of information accumulated, but
we can only take whatever action
the government deems appropri
