The newspaper called it “A World Scandal.” Correspondent Peter Grieve re ported that in a 3000-mile "(rip through the Amazon country he pieced together the death trek of 53,000 men. A handful reached safety, others died en route and 22,000 remained trapped in the jungles, he said, The wives and relatives of the missing men are clamoring to learn from the Brazilian government what has become of the men, according to Mr, Grieve, Confirmed by Missionaries “Responsible Brazalians and foreign businessmen know these things well, for they have been spectators, and they are confirmed by U. 8. missionaries,” “But while the Brazilian 80V= | ernment and rubber bank wrangle about responsibility for this sorry state, there is no" official answer to the question—where are these men?” Mr. Grieve said Brazil agreed to transport men from the Atlantic coast Of Brazil to seek raw rubber under an American ~ Brazilian agreement in which American capital supported the rubber bank. Brazil was to provide food, medi cine and clothing. - Guards Killed Men i: He quoted one man’s description of the trip into the junfle. The man said guards whipped and killed men, fed them concentration camp diet and forced them to work in fever - ridden swamps. Meanwhile, he alleged, food and medical supplies for them were sold in the hlack market,
