Tnkvn (U.R) Bad food, the
cold and lack of medical care
killed 2,588 prisoners, mostly
Americans, at notorious "ieam

camp on the Yalu river, a Cali
fornia sergeant said today.
Sgt. James r. Daniel, 3U, oi
Alameda, said 931 died during
78 days In "Death Valley" and
1,807 more died from January
to August of 1951 in camp no.
9 at ryoKiong.
Daniel said his fatalltv statis
tics were accurate because the
prisoners kept records of the
men who died In the two camps.
The Chinese confiscated the
lists but he remembers the fig
ures, he said.
Covered AU UN POWs
Following a general press
conference at the Tokyo Army
hospital, Daniel told the United
Press his records covered "to

Americans than any other na

This was based on the pro
portion of Americans among
the UN soldiers freed in the
recent exchange of sick and
urnunHpd prisoners. The ac
cusation that the Communists
violated the agreement was
baaed on reports by freed pris
oners.
The Communists rejected
the accusation as "a willful
slander not worth refuting."
Communist Gen. Lee Sang

munists still hold some sick
and wounded UN prisoners.
But he said that they were too
