Occasionally they have taken a drink , in the third-class lounge, but most of the time they have just lain in their bunks. Other passengers have often seen Griggs alone on deck, ap parently praying. Guards Continue To Quit af Walla Walla Walla Walla (U.R) The I number of guards at the Wash ington State penitentiary who have resigned in the wake of last week's riot was reported to have risen to 10 today. Eugene Winne, one of the cor- rection guards held hostage dur ing the 26 hour rebellion, said he resigned "because there is no safety in the prison." ' Winnett said prison officials "made the cons a lot of promis es they can't keep" in order to settle the riot and free the nine men held hostage. "It just won't work," he de clared. "If the officials don't keep these promises I think it will happen all over again. Only it will be worse. I don't think the cons will fool around next time." The three have only the clo thing they are wearing with them open shirts, slacks, shoes and windbreakers. ' . Cowart said Tuesday that the Chinese people are beginning "passive resistance" to the Com munist regime. , "When I first went into China, people actively participated in the mandatory Communist meet ings," he said. "They are silent today and waiting. This passive resistance is everywhere." . He claimed the Chinese peo ple are looking to America for liberation. He said an attack by an Am erican Army battalion on a Chinese, Communist port would start the disintegration of the Red-held mainland.
