MacKenzie, assigned to fly with the U.S. Air Force in Korea, was shot down over North Korea on Dec. 5, 1952, and taken to a jail in Mukden. There the Chinese held three U.S. fliers (none of them listed among the eleven convicted airmen): Captain Harold Fischer of Swea City, Iowa, Lieut. Lyle Cameron of Lincoln, Neb. and Lieut. Roland Parks of Omaha. MacKenzie said that he corresponded later with a fourth U.S. pilot, Colonel Edwin Heller of Philadelphia, who was in a Chinese hospital recovering from leg wounds...

In the cities there was rationing, and in isolated areas people starved. Peasants roamed into cities-20.000 into Mukden and Anshan in one month-to get jobs and food. In Peking, guards had to drive away 5,000 peasants. Chou En-lai himself unhappily gave the lie at home to the Communists' efforts to pretend to the outside world that the hunger had not come: "People in famine areas should...
