Yank Escapes from Russians,
Tells of 10 Months Beatings
Berlin, Sept. 18 ilP) An American toldier burrowed out of
Soviet Jail in East Berlin and related a story today of beatings and
mistreatment during his 10 months' confinement by the Russians.
The American, Private John J. Sienkiewicz, 26. of Baltimore,
told U. S. officers Soviet officials thought, because of his name,
that he was a Polish riisnlarero
person being used to spy on the
Russians.
He said he and three British
companions used a blunt knife to
bore through a thick jail wall
until they could reach through
and open their cell door. Then
they made their way to the west
ern sectors of Berlin.
Sienkiewicz was taken to an
army hospital and reported to
be In a "generally weakened
physical condition but not un
duly undernourished."
He had been held by the Rus
sians since last Nov. S, when
he rode a streetcar into the Sov
iet sector of the city by error.
He said he was questioned 16
days and nights and "beaten
when they said I was lying." He
said the Russians mistreated and
tortured him in other ways, too.
British headquarters said the
three British soldiers were ar
rested March 3. 1948, and had
been imprisoned ever since a
period of 18 months.
Officers quoted the three as
saying: "We were brutally treat
ed throughout our capivity and
were subjected to immersions in
cold water and kicklngs and
beatings by Russian officers and
soldiers. We were fed on the
scantiest rations."
The American's mother is Mrs.
Mary Stenkicwicz of Baltimore
Maine.
He said he made one dash for
freedom the day he was ar
rested, but was recaptured Nov,
6 when he could not make his
way out of the Soviet sector.
He said he was taken to Or
anienburg prison in the Russian
zone for exhaustive questioning
"by high Russian officers," and
later was returned to jail in the
Soviet sector of Berlin.
Public Power
Group for CVA
Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 16 U..
The Northwest Public Power
association today approved, with
reservations, the proposed Col
umbia valley authority.
The group, representing pub-
lie utility districts in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and western
Montana, endorsed reservations
to CVA designed to "protect the
rights of local agencies to build
hydroelectric power projects."
The reservations were made
before the senate and house
public works committees this
summer by J. Frank Ward,
supt. of Tacoma City Light.
The association also reserved
an opinion on details of a CVA
until senate public works com
mittee hearings planned for this
area are held.
Ford Northrup, Eugene, Ore.,
was elected president of the as
sociation, succeeding Carl C.
Moore of Colville, Wash. Max
Schmuck, Clallam county, Wash.,
was named vice-president, and
John R. King, Seattle, was re
elected treasurer.
The group selected Central!".
Chehalis as the site for its March
meeting, with Sponkane as an
alternate site if accommodations
there are not available. Missolua
Mont., was named as the site of
next fall's meeting.
McKay Watches
Race for Senate
Governor Douglas McKay
Isn't interested in the coming
race for United States senator
And he thinks his own job Is
so hard that anyone is foolish to
run for it.
Reporters asked him today
what he thought about the pos
sibility that U.S. Sen. Wayne
Morse might be opposed next
year for the republican nomina
tion by William E. Walsh, Coos
Bay, president of the state sen
ate.
"I'm not even interested In
that race. I've got too much
work to do of my own. I think
everyone ought to know how
hard this job of governor is. It
keeps me going day and night,
the governor said.
A reporter suggested that the
governor might be putting out
this kind of dope in order to
discourage possible opponents
from running against McKay
next year.
The governor had a big laugh.
He said he's having a good time
"sitting back with a big smile
and watching the democrats
fight each other.

New York, Sept. 16 (JP The
stock market poked its way for
ward today through a tangle of
strike threats in two basic in
dustries steel and soft coal
Gains were fractional for the
most part but they were well dis
tributed and a number of issues
climbed to new tops for the year.
Railway shares were well in
front of the move.
Turnover passed the 1,000,000
share mark for the fifth session
in a row.
Some brokers suggested that
the market's stability yesterday,
when the labor news in the steel

new buying interest.
