ALLIED PRISONERS
PRIVILEGES WITHDRAWN ATTITUDE OF NAZIS (Reed. May 29, 9 a.m.) LONDON, May 28. The German military spokesman in Berlin announced that Germany has withdrawn the special privileges accorded to Allied officers taken prisoner, including the customary right to receive the salute, because of the undignified treatment meted out to German officers who are prisoners in Allied countries. It is authoritatively stated in London that German officers who are prisoners of war in Britain are given all rights and are treated with every courtesy.
