Reds Find Life
Behind the Wire
Far From Crim
By TOM TIEDE
NEA Staff Correspondent
PLEIKU, South Vietnam—
(NEA)—Military authorities
believe that approximately
30,000 Allied soldiers are
presently being held by the
Communists as prisoners of
war.
The exact figure is un
known—the Reds won’t tell.
Some 33,400 Allied troops,
including 1,400 Americans,
are listed as missing in ac
tion. But precisely who are
dead, who are alive and who
are prisoners is known only
to the enemy.
What is known, however,
is that those who are prison
ers are not having a good
time of it. Their diet is
meager, their medical treat
ment crude, their captors
often cruel—and their living
conditions largely a mess.
The Allied command in the
war has done everything
possible to pressure or
shame the Communists into
hand li n g captives with
decency. Perhaps the most
important thing the Allies
have done along this line is
to set up exemplary prisoner
camps of their own.
Like the one here in
Pleiku.
The local camp is one of
six in the country. It covers
several dozen acres of a cool
hi'ltop. It houses 1 100 of the

more than 30,000 enemy cap
tives now in South Vietnam.
And the place is not only
adequate.
It’s almost pleasant.
The camp commander is
39-year-old, U.S.-trained,
Maj. Nguyen Van Phan. He’s
a military cop. He doesn’t
necessarily like his prisoners,
but he does everything but
somersault to treat them ac
cording to humanitarian dic
tates.
Incoming prisoners are
checked over medically and
psychologically. They are
photographed and finger
printed. Copies of the per
tinent information is quickly
given to the International
Red Cross so that prisoners’
families can be notified.
The prisoners are then
issued two sets of sturdy
clothing, one pair of sandals,
soap, toothbrush, paste,
comb, etc.
And then placed in camp
routine.
The routine begins at 7
a.m. It ends at 8 p.m. In be
tween, the prisoners are
obliged to squeeze in some
work, some play, two meals
—and as much comradeship
as camp security allows.
The work takes many
forms. Everything from
grass cutting to vegetable
growing. There is plenty of
grass. And there are plenty
of vegetables. The camp has

ONLY THE BARBED WIRE in the background indicates this is a prisoner of war
camp in South Vietnam. Captured Red troops, unlike their Allied counterparts in North
Vietnamese POW camps, are permitted to pass their time creating such plots of fanci
ful landscaping.
flower and greenery beds all
over the crusty landscape.
And the half-acre of vege
tables includes such items as
cabbage, onions and toma
toes. There are two pigs for
occasional camp feasts.
The play is divided into
two areas. There are a
couple of large recreation
rooms (Ping-Pong, maga
zines, dominoes, checkers).
And there is an enormous
outdoor field (soccer, volly
ball, exercise). The daily
schedule permits two relaxa
tion periods—between noon
and 2 p.m., and after dinner
until lights out.
As for the food, it is plenti
ful and well-prepared. Rice
and fish mostly—the Viet
namese staples. It’s cooked
in clean crockery and served
in a suitable mess hall. The
men get 700 grams of food a
day, about 38 cents-worth, or
exactly the ration allowed to
enlisted members of the reg
ular Vietnam army.
To be sure, all is not roses
for the enemy POWs. There
is a loneliness and natural
fear in everyone’s eyes.
There is a sense of defeat, a
hint of humiliation—and,
most probably, a never-end
ing longing to escape.
There are, occasionally,
brutal guards. Some Viet
namese captors feel the pris
oners are pampered. Others
just like to bully underdogs.
As a result, some nasty in
cidents have been reported
from the compound.
Yet, on balance, life for
prisoners here is almost ex
act’y according to the rule
book. The camp is immacu-
late-cleaner than any regu
lar military post in the coun
try. The men are allowed to
send and receive letters.
Those with families in the
south are allowed once-a
month visits. And there is
even a token salary for all
(eight cents a day) so that
inmates can purchase such
comfort items as tobacco,
sugar and candy.
It’s not home, maybe. But
it’s not hell either.
As camp commander Phan
says:
“All in all, we believe we
treat the Communist prison
ers with the dignity all sol
diers deserve. My only wish
now is that the Communists
would treat our prisoners in
the same way.”
