Noble, shown pointing to a poster publicizing number of alleged political prisoners in Germany's Russian zone, said he was finally released by east zone on July 4 and shipped to West Berlin where he now is waiting for approval from Washington to return to his home. Top of poster reads, "At least 50,000 political prisoners in the Soviet zone of Germany." (AP Wirephoto via radio from Berlin.) Seven Years in Red Prisons End for U. S. Manufacturer By THOMAS A. REEDT has little hope of ever regaining any part of his investment. Noble maintained his health throughout the seven years, he said, because of his peculiar po sition as an American. His cap tors were never quite sure what to do about him, he said. At one camp In Saxony, he said he watched the dead being carried out daily for lack of food. "It was more than July 4 to 1 me," the chunky, ruddy-faced ' man declared. "It was really and truly Independence Day." Born In Germany, Noble emi grated to the U. S. and became I an American in 1920. ' In 1938 he returned to Ger I many to open a camera factory 4ln Dresden, bringing his wife and two sons, George and John, I with mm. 1 Noble said he had planned to get the business going and re j turn to Detroit after a year or two but was storjDed bv th war 'The Nazi regime refused to per- unit, mm to leave, he said. 1 ... I He told this sequence of f events after that: The Russians, arriving In I Dresden in May, 1945, treated him well for about six weeks. 3He was sent on one trip to the i. American zone to get some op s' tlcal equipment and on his re- , turn the Soviets used that as an excuse to charge him with il f legal entry for the purpose of .stealing cameras from his own ' factory. Mrs. Noble and his son George (were released In January, 1946. oiiu ins timer son, jonn, twere imprisoned in Dresden, .later In the notorious ex-Nazi 'camp at Buchenwald, and fi 'nally In the most ill-famed Com imunist camp now established at Waldheim. ... Noble said his repeated de 'mands for a least a trial were refused by the German captors ibecause they said they were not auinnnzed to try an American "They told me the Russians had turned me over to them and therefore they could neither try me nor release me," he said bit terly. ; Finally this spring. Noble said, the East German regime organ ized a trial for him at Leipzig, .charged him with the old illegal entry complaint and also with having "supported the Nazi .regime" by engaging in private i :nterprlse during Its tenure. I ; "I am not a nazl," he said. "I ; .ehose East Germany as a natural .place to manufacture cameras." , The Leipzig court found him guilty, he said, sentenced him to exactly the length of time he had been held since the end of .the war, then sent him to West '.Benin. , ... ; Noble's wife remained In Ber. ,iin through the years, awaiting ;rns release. Hit son, George, Is now in Detroit : He said his former factory at uresacn, now run by the Com munists as a sUta enterprise, Is manufacturing eight to ten thousand cameras monthly.

Western Front, Korea 0JJ9 A trip to the front line around Bunker Hill begins at battalion headquarters where you borrow a steel helmet and an armored vest The supply sergeant Is friendly but unnerving while he pokes through a pile of sweaty equip ment. "See this," he says, pointing to a grimy helmet sieved bv six holes. "An 82 mortar landed 36 Inch es from the guy. You can still see some of his hair on the inside." You nod, dumbly. "Don't forget to return this stuff," he says with a grin. ... You climb into the jeep and start the bucking, dusty ride ud to the hill, swerving to avoid shell holes every few feet. At the top there is a sign. "This unit not responsible for accidents due to Incoming of all sizes. Don t push your luck. Fight 'em with Item!" It's "I for Item" company, of the U. S. Infantry. ... Now you have to get out of the jeep and climb on the narrow trail toward the bunkers on the ridgeline. The vest and the helmet weigh ton, but you don't take them off. The trail is littered with small pieces of shrapnel. You pick up one piece about an inch long, still so fresh the steel hasn't rusted. Ducking into the observation post, you see five soldiers lined up along a deep, open trench peering at the enemy through bi noculars and high powered scopes. "That's Bunker Hill, rieht be low us,? says S-Sgt. Lee B. Car ey, 27, of Wide Water. Va.. "you want to look?" He hands over the glasses and you see a low, brush - covered ridge covered with C-ration cans glinting in the afternoon sun. Nobody is moving among the bunkers. ... "The Gooneys are over to the right about 75 yards away," Car ey says, pointing to a treeless, I sanay section oi tne same ridge. Here you can't even see bunk ers, but they are there. By FREDERICK C. FAINTON "I wouldn't go out there If I were you," Carey says. "They'll spot you and start shooting. We only go out when it's dark."
