Monday Mornmg. February 26, (Continued From One) prison camps disclose widespread malaria and poor medical treatment. In one case, a POW was forced to stand in a hole full of red ants. The prisoners were kept in small wooden cages without netting to protect them from swarms of malaria-carrying mosquitoes, said Army Capt. George K.

Wanat, 27, of Foxboro, Mass. As far as he was concerned, "it was the ultimate James U. Rollins, a 36-year- old civilian captured five years It Like It TFiH American People, Freed Prisoners Say I ago, described prison life as "mainly sitting around." The diet was rice and bits of pork fat, occasionally varied with some hard-to-come-by vegetables or a rare piece of meat. The returnees have said there few "direct" attempts to them as was done in Korea. However, the Communists regularly mustered prisoners to listen to English- language propaganda broadcasts and sometimes to attend lectures given by political commissars.

American prisoners in the north lived under a double standard of discipline: one imposed by the jailers and the other by their own command structure to help them "keep the faith." The command structure was set up in 1965 with a commander in chief of all POWs and subordinate commandants at different camps. A grapevine developed, and prisoner movements such as medical transfers kept open channels of communication. Airmen shot down over the north in the years up to tell of a Spartan but adequate life. Navy Commander Ray- mond Vohden, whose plane was demised in April. 79w, said he got two meals a day of bread, pumpkin soup, green vegetables and occasionally pork fat or a piece of chicken.

Air Force Col. Robinson Risner said the food "was adequate to maintain health." He said the treatment improved markedly toward the end of 1969. The unsuccessful 1972 raid on th? Son Tay prison camp apparently led the communists to move most American prison- era into the "Hanoi Hilton," a jail in the capital. This strengthened the American command structure. Educational courses were instituted to supplement prisoner-organized exercise programs and inter-faith religious services using a Bible written by some POWs from memory.

News of the outside world was filtered through Communist censors, but a stream of new' arrivals helped keep the prisoners up-to-date. First Lt. William Y. Arcut'i. 25, of Yuba City.

whose B52 was sliot down last December, informed about 150 men of Nixon's landslide victory in the November elections, and told them also about "sports, fashions, typical things, iike shorter skirts and pants suits." Boredom was the biggest problem. Maj. Norman A. McDaniel, 25, of Greensboro, N.C., said a sense of humor helped. "You had to have it in order to survive," he said.

"One thinp; that was quite popular were jokes about 'the light at the end of the looked at the light a long, long time." But there tensions over what Air Force Lt. Col. CariyJe S. Harris of Tupelo. characterized as "a variance of political opinion." For ihe appearance of their own countrymen in the north as representatives of the antiwar movement was hard to take.

Air Maj. Jon A. Reynolds, of Cynwyd. believes the movement "lengthened our stay. It was a source of strength io the North Vietnamese's." Navy Capt.

Harry T. Jenkins of San Diego, said of such visitors as film star, Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark: "I think they shamed our nation in the eyes of the enemv."
