PUSAN Trigger-happy Yankee troops shot and .bayon- eted to death 52. Chinese war prisoners and wounded 120 others on Wednesday this week at a prison compound on South Korea’s Cheju Island. Only two American soldiers were re- ported “slightly injured” in this latest massacre of prisoners, A peaceful celebration staged by prisoners on the third anniversary of the People’s Republic of China was used by a sadistic Yankee command- - er as an excuse to launch the attack against the unarmed POW’s. : Enraged because the Chinese prisoners dared to celebrate the third birthday: of their home- land, commandant Colonel Richard D. Boerem orderel two platoons of American troops, with rifles and fixed bayonets, to attack the defenseless prisoners. Firing at point-blank range and wield- ing bayonets viciously, the soldiers staged their slaughter for more than an hour. “Majority of the Chinese dead and wounded ewere shot down,” said a news dispatch sent. out Ns later in the day, “The swift, stern action was credited with limiting the American casualities to two soldiers slightly wounded.” Not since the days of Hitler's Nazi troops has the world witnessed such an example of sadism and brutality. Colonel Boerem’s cynical defense of his action was that the prisoners had “defied a ban on mass meetings.” He smugly ‘observed that after the dead and wounded had been re- moved “all has been quiet.” Bravely facing the murderous gunfire of the Yankee troops, the prisoners attempted to fight back with tent poles and rocks. They were shot down mercilessly. . The usual method of quelling so-called riots in prison compounds is to use tear gas bombs. But none were used this time. Troops went in with orders to kill. A wave of revulsion is sweeping around the world as a result of this latest American action, one in a long series of atrocities perpetrated by the Yankees in Korea in the name of the United Nations.
