Korean War

Feb. 29 A Glimpse Behind The Bamboo Curtain At The Men Who Went Instead Of West Instead Of West After The War In Korea: When the fighting in Korea was over and the P.O.Ws were re-patriated, only 21 Americans and one Briton elected to go to communist China. Twenty two out of the thousands of United Nations soldiers who had been subjected to constant Red propaganda, was a small number, bu the decisions made by these men shook the Western world. Thew were given every chance to change thier minds, but all Western argument failed and they disappeared voulntarily, behind the Bamboo Curtain. Now the first pictures of these en taken since their arrival in the country of their choice have reached the West. They were taken in Peking where, it is said, they are going on sight seeing tours, playing games, shopping with money provided by the authorities, and relaxing in their quarters, while they study the situation in China before deciding upon their future careers. They have been provided with several made-to-measure suits each, Amerincan style neckties and although many of their meals are Western type, they are being encouraged to eat Chinese food, although none of them has mastered the use of chopsticks yet. Escorted through the streets of Peking, the departmental stores and the public parks like honoured guests, their appearance drew stares from the Chinese, for the sight of a Western man in the streots of Peking these days, is rare indeed. Volley ball was a popular spot in the prison camps in Korea and the man who decided to go East instead of West still play it in their now home at Peking. Sgt. Larance V. Sullivan of Omaha, Neb, punches the ball over the net watched by Cpl. A.C. Belhomme (in striped jersey); Cpl. Otho G. Bell of Olympia, Wash (in dark Kersey and light trousers) and Sgt. Richard Corden of East Providence, R.I. (in white shirt and cap)
