Locked in Room

Mr, Harrison spent two days in a dungeon-like cellar. His small, brown-haired wife was locked inside a tiny room. This was at Oranienburg, 20 miles north of Berlin, Later they were taken to Brandenburg, 20 miles to the southwest, where they were held until they were returned to Berlin last night. “I didn't know where my husband was,” Mrs. Harrison said. “An armed Russian sentry was in the: room with me continually day and night.” “He sat in a chair and I sat on the edge of the bed which had no sheets or blankets. I didn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I was sure they would shoot us sooner or later.”

Windowless Cellar Room

Mr. Harrison's first two days were | spent in a windowless cellar room. It had no bed. A sort of platform with no blankets was the only furniture in the room. His captors took away his jewelry, | belt, tie insignia and even his shoestrings, He said they responded with “you liar” to practically all the answers he gave to the hundreds of ques- | tions they asked him, The Russians asked “a lot of military questions,” | he said, but the inquiries dealt with nothing they could nbdbt have learned
