TN AN EFFORT to expedite de-
liveries during current truce
negotiations, mail addressed to
known or presumed U.S. prisoners
of war will be carried by military
aircraft from the United States to
Korea, by way of Japan, the De­
fense department recently said.
Until now. such mail was carried
by commercial aircraft and de­
livered at Hong Kong for eventual
distribution through Communist
channels. The new system entails
no change in the existing method
of addressing mail to prisoners of
war. Under the revised system,
military aircraft will carry the
mail to Japan where it will be ear­
marked for "APO 100” , a military
post office established specifically
to expedite the handling of prisoner
of war mail.
