Americans in Korean Camp Formed Klan By WILLIAM C. BARNARD TOKYO on A returned prison er of war disclosed Wednesday that Americans in one North Ko rean prison camp "organized a Ku Klux Klan to straighten out some of our own boys who were spying on us for the Chinese." PFC James R. Dunn, a hand- gome, dark-haired 21 year old in--; f ar.tryman from Anderson, S. C, -said: . - "Seven or eight Americans in " our prison company of 200 men : turned informer for the Chinese. For this, they got extra cigarettes Nobody hardly among us would talk to them we called then' th-? rats. 'The rats would write papery about how prisoners wanted peace and would try to get us to sign them. When they weren't domp that, they'd be over at prison head quarters, telling the Chines what was going on. "So we organized a Ktt- Klux Klan to straighten out some of these boys. Now and then they'd get a little note, signed KKK, tell ing them they better straighten out. We never did hurt 'em bad. but I know of a few that got dumped into a latrine." Dunn said two Americans who attempted to escape from the camp Camp Number One 45 miles south of the Yalu River were caught "because of the rats had tipped off the Chinese that an escape was going to be made." "The Communists caught the two Americans before they got a quarter of a mile from the camp." Ihinn said. "They were brought back and were put at six to eight months hard labor."
