Captured U.S. Airmen On Planned Tours In China
HANDCUFFED OR BLINDFOLDED Rec. 2.30 CHUNGKING, Feb. 17. Captured American flyers, handcuffed and blindfolded, have been herded by the Japanese through the cities of occupied China on planned tours, apparently to ridicule them to .the populace, reports the United Press. This latest Japanese mistreatment of prisoners was disclosed when General Chennault,' Commander of United States Air Forces in China, announced that dispatches listing the exploits of individual airmen would be banned, presumably to frustrate enemy propagandists. The Japanese action is seen in Chungking as an attempt to convince the Chinese that Japanese flyers have not been entirely without air successes.
