15 Diehards Rounded Up In 3 Camps
17 Anti-Reds Saved From ‘Trials’
By United Press KOJE ISLAND, Korea, June 4 —American troops stormed into three prisoners of war compounds behind Patton tanks today and wiped out the last symbols of Communist defiance on this strifetorn island. In a blitz operation, they ripped down illegal flags and propaganda banners, rescued at least 17 bound anti-Communist victims of “kangaroo courts,” and arrested 75 Red leaders. The arrested men included five “commissars” who had directed the defiance of Allied authority and had presided over Red “courts” which sentenced at least 115 men to death. Not a shot was fired.
Brig. Gen.. Haydon L. (Bull) Boatner, who took command of the island and its 80,000 prisoners less than three weeks ago, personally directed the cleanup and bellowed orders from the top of a machine gun guard tower.

The cleanup was the climax to|
24 hours of new riots and gunfire that left one Communist dead and nine wounded. . The 46-ton tanks, their 90-mil-limeter gun barrels leveled, first roared through the sally port of Compound 85 in a swirling cloud of dirt, Two companies of the

38th Regiment of the 24 U. 8. Infantry Division moved in behind the tanks. In the center of the compound, they formed a shoul-der-to-shoulder perimeter of naked steel. While the once-defiant Reds backed against the building wall, the tanks smacked into three flagpoles flying North Korean,
Russian and Chinese Cammunist flags. Poles and flags'were hurled into the dirt. Operation No. 2 was against Compound 96, which had pulled down its flags during the night. Gen. Boatner, his voice roaring above the rumble of tank engines, sent three companies of the 38th —nearly 600 men—arid three tanks into the compound.

Harrison's note said. Brig. Gen. Willlam P. Nuckols, esman, said it had been decided not to release the names of ‘the 91 men because the United Nations command “does not wish to raise false hopes in the families of the men.” All the men were believed captured before the exchange of prisoner lists on Dec. 18, last year.
