far as he is concerned, there are only two issues—‘the Truman record" and “communism at home| and abroad.” i On those issues, and with Gen.

Reds’ Use of

| Truth Drug

2 By United Press HONG KONG, July 12—An

American lawyer has told how the Chinese Communists injected “truth - medicine” to make him

, “confess” during more than 16 | months in a Shanghai jail.

Robert T, Bryan Jr. 49, Who has spent most of his life in China, said he was given spinal injections of the drug twice, They “took all my volition away from me,” he said, The after.

{effects were “like a terrific hang=

After the injections the Communists “more or less dictates” the signed “confessions” he was supposed to have made about his activities as municipal advocate for the international settlement of Shanghai, He held the post for 14 years before World War IL.

In fear of his life after arrive

temporarily slowed down as the no matter how Gen. Eisenhower ing here June 29, Mr. Bryan told

his story only after reporters promised his statement would not be published until he was aboard ship and bound for the United States. He sailed yesterday on the S. S. President Cleveland. Mr, Bryan said the Commu nists warned him not to talk after they released him because “the hand of the Chinese peopl is very long.” :

His statement was the first definite charge that the Reds have used “truth medicine” on prisoners to obtain propaganda state ments. ‘It immediately raised the question here of whether that was done to two American fliers who allegedly “confessed” to dropping ‘germ bombs" in Korea.

Told of Beatings

Other released prisoners have told only of beatings and physical torture which forced them to make ‘‘confessions.”

Mr. Bryan, who was arrested Feb. 11, 1951, also said in his first series of questioning by the Communists he was beaten with a rubber hose and handcuffed so tightly that the blood circulation to his hands was cut off, The beatings were “not so had because I was wearing so many clothes” as protection against the cold March weather, He spent most of his imprisonment in a nine-by-five-foot solitary sell in Shanghai, He said he was given an injec tion when he would not make a “suitable confession” following a month-long interrogation. When he repudiated statements made under influence of the drug, the Communists told him he was given “Cheng Yien Yao (true words medicine)” and his statements must be true. “Mr. Bryan said his weight went from 176 to 130 pounds on his jail diet of rice, pickled cabbage fried in peanut ofl and cabbage boiled in salt water. He regained 10 ‘pounds during his stay in Hong Kong. Bryan's wife left Shanghai last fall and will meet him upon his arrival in San’ Francisco.
