| Penta | Report Kept Bottled Up - Many Weeks

By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 — ‘Pentagon officials: had no immediate explanation today about why they kept secret for weeks Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's communication that 8000 American prisoners of war had been reported slain by the Communists in Korea. Press officers on duty early today said they “had nothing to say” about the failure of Pentagon officials to seem aware of the Ridgway report at the time Col. James M. Hanley, Eighth Army war crimes investigator, made his first report on Korean atrocities on Nov, 14 in Pusan, Korea. Gen. Ridgway’'s atrocity estimate—made in a routine report ; to the United Nations—had been transmitted to United Nations officials two days previously after having been cleared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Defense and State Departments. Quizzed about Col. Hanley’s dis-| closure that over 5000 American prisoners had been slain by the Reds, Pentagon officials appeared at the time to be skeptical of the figures, and promptly messaged Gen. Ridgway for details. First Called ‘Incomplete’ The supreme commander's office in Tokyo also termed Col. Hanley’s first report “incomplete and unscientific’ and gave no indication that Gen. Ridgway
