General Dean Sends Christmas Greetings Red Correspondent Tells Os Interview Pan Alunjom, Korea, Dec. 24. — UP) —Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, top-ranking American prisoner of the Communists, today seiit word-of-mouth “Christmas greetings and a peaceful New Year” plus a letter to his wife at' Calif. Communist truce negotiators . handed allied delegates a letter iL Dean had written to her. At the time, a Communist ‘correspondent who said he interviewed the general Friday told allied newsmen Dean asked him to relay the to Mrs. Dean. It was that Dean was near during the first month of his imprisonment hnd it was believed that the Communists had kept news of his capture Aug. 25, 19.50, secret, because of his critical condition. As, late as last July, Gornmunist correspondent Wilfred JBurchett said, it was still not cers tain that Dean woufd pull through. Burchett, correspondent for the Paris Communist newspaper Ce Soir. repeated and elaborate the story 4ie related to allied correspondents Sunday of per- , sonal heroism and endurance in wandering 36 days behind enemy lines, including 20 days with “absolutely nothing” to eat, “I hadi Uje pistol and 12 bullets left,” De?® was quoted. “I used to polish I said I would kill £1 NorthJCpreans and save the 12th for myself. I was absolutely detqnntoed hdt t° become a prisoner of war.” However, his plans thwarted when twt> English-speaking Koreans who pretended to befriend him led him around the bend ot a road into the path of a North Korean ambush. Dean grabbed his pistol but one of his betrayers clutched his arm as he tried to shoot his way out of the trap. I ; ' . Dean and the Korean grappled in * the road and Dean tried to throw him down a lOfoot embankment into a river. But he and ,|he' Korean soldie/s captunecj him at rifle point.
