Hull And Rhee In Conference On Prisoners Allied Commander Doubts Americans Wishing To Return TOKYO, (UP) — Gen. John E. Hull, Allied supreme commander in the Far East, said today he did not believe the 22 unrepatriated American war prisoners wanted to return to democracy. Hull said on his arrival in Seoul that the Americans had “plenty of time,” at least 87 days in custody, “to think it over.’’ “If they wanted to return there would have been no difficulties,” Hull said. jHull went to Seoul to “make up a plan” for the care of 22.000 anti - Communist North Koreans and Chinese who will become civilians on Jan. 22, 1954, under Korean armistice agreements. “The anti - Communist Korea POWs will be sent to their homes after explanation time has endqd and anti-Communist Chinese prisoners will be sent to Formosa,” Hull said. He said he discussed the release of thef, prisoners with South Korean President Syngman Rhee and tfould copfer Tuesday with Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, Indikn custodian of all unrepatriated war prisoners. There were two schools of thought in variance with Hull’? opinion on the attitude of American prisoners. 1. Thimayya said he would give the Americans, one Briton and some 350 South Koreans their “last chance” Tuesday to accept repatriation. Although he said he did not believe the men would leave the compound, hi thought th» Americans would read a written appeal from the United Nations for them to think it over. 2. Defense officials In Washington said evidence indicated that four of the Americans really want to go home but fear assault by their G-I buddies behind the barbed wire stockade. They hinted that Pfc. Richard Tenneson, Alden. Minn, was the most likely prospect. Tenneson’s mother, Mrs. Portia Howe, said she woll leave Tokyo for home by commercial airline Wednesday less than six hours before the midnight deadline for prisoner interviews. Mrs, Howe came to Tokyo more than a week ago in an unsuccessful effort to go to Korea and -make a personal appeal to her son to come home. The graying Minnesota housewife reacted pleasantly to a Radio Peiping broadcast which gloated over her failure to win Tenneson away from Communism. “I’m only surprised they haven’t mentioned my son sooner,” Mrs. Howe said. , In other developments on the Korean scene: •1. The U. N. command adamantly rejected a Communist demand to extend the 90-day explanation period. 2.
