...Come & Be Free." The Chinese prisoners came in columns of five, and proudly, out of the neutral zone (see NEWS IN PICTURES). The first two men flourished pictures of Chiang Kai-shek and of Sun Yatsen, the founder of China's republic. The tight-drawn ranks bore red, white and blue Nationalist banners, the Stars and Stripes, the pale blue and white of the U.N. Some P.W.s wielded crude, homemade flagstaffs, their jagged points torn from beer cans. A few kept their prison camp basketballs. One clasped a French horn.
