August S. 1I&3 Released POW Tells Of Mass Burials of Prisoners Freedom Village, Korea-U.R) Mass burials were held at the notorious Communist "mining camp" and "hundreds" of Ameri cans starved or froze .to death, a freed American Indian POW revealed today. "Every day," said Cpl. Rus sell P. James, 25, an American Indian of Auburn, Wash., "we had to furnish a burial detail of" 40 or 50 men. I was on most of the details. .... "We buried at least SO Ameri cans every day," he said, "in big holes. They had Just starved to death or frozen to death." Burials Every Day James, who was captured in December, 1950, while serving with the U. S., Second Infantry, said "more than half" of the Americans at the mining camp died of malnutrition and ex posure. "I just can't remember how many there were," he said. "It went on for months like that, 30 every day. Sometimes more." The freezing weather "got" a lot of the American soldiers. "We didn't have any clothing the first year," he said. "The medical treatment, they just didn't have any. Some of the men were wounded and they died a few at a time. "All we got to eat was in little cupfuls about the size of a teacup, of millet or cracked corn twice a day. And we had to work all the time. Most of them just couldn't take it. "They were coughing all the time and it was bad and every day we had to bury them." James could not tell just how many Americans were in the in famous mining camp, but other returnees have put the figure at "thousands."
