PW Tells Of Months In Bamboo Cage WATERFORD, Conn. (AP) A freed prisoner of war returns to the United States today after what his father describes as months of imprisonment chained in a snake- and ant-infested bamboo cage. Army Capt. George K. Wanat 27, was chained alone in the cage for five of his 10 months in Viet Cong hands, George K.

Wanat Sr. of Waterford said Wednesday after talking to his son by telephone. His other five months were shared with another American, the father said. The elder Wanat said in an interview that his son passed time with prayer and "intense study" of the ants in his cage. "He told me he was an expert on ants now," Wanat said.

Wanat said his son was in good spirits and sounded "very much like the man who left two years ago" except for a deep hatred toward his captors. "I'd kill those bastards if I ever saw them again," Wanat quoted his son as saying. "He told me they (the Viet Cong) spent about three months trying to break him down," Wanat said. "One of his punishments was being deprived of mosquito netting. He ended up with a bad case of malaria, but they wouldn't treat him right away.

About the time he thought he would die, they finally gave him something." Wanat eluded the enemy for 33 days after an ambush cut him off from the South Vietnamese unit he was advising. He lost his weapon in the ambush and could only run to avoid capture, his father said. The Viet Cong fed Wanat water and one bowl a day of rice and pork fat, but on one occasion there was a loaf of bread, the father said. "I asked him if he rationed it, or what, and he told me it lasted maybe 15 seconds," the elder Wanat said. Young Wanat's body is reportedly so distended from malnutrition that he cannot wear street clothes, the father said.

Kissinger May Talk For Trade Mission TOKYO, Japan (AP) Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger today began five days of talks with Chinese leaders in Peking in an attempt to advance the improvement of relations between the United States and China. Kissinger and the 17 members of his party were greeted at Peking airport by Foreign Minister Chi Peng-fei and other Chinese officials after a flight from Hong Kong via Shanghai, the official Hsinhua news agency reported. Hsinhua described the talks as "concrete consultations with Chinese leaders to further the normalization of relations." Kissinger spent two days resting in Hong Kong after his weekend visit to Hanoi.

From Peking, he will fly to Tokyo, en route back to the United States. During his Hong Kong stay, Kissinger refused to discuss his China visit, but his talks are expected to cover American and Chinese roles in the Vietnam cease-fire, as well as the broadening relations between Peking and Washington. Establishment of a U.S. trade mission in Peking, a proposal China rejected at the time of President Nixon's visit a year ago, again may come up. In its rejection, Peking pointed to two barriers the Vietnam war and U.S.

military presence in Taiwan. Since thon, however, the cease-fire has been signed in Vietnam, and the United States has been reducing the number of troops on the Nationalist Chinese island. At the same time, tensions have increased between China and the Soviet Union, and Peking is greatly concerned about Moscow's influence in Asia. Kissinger also will discuss with Chinese officials the international conference on maintenance of peace in Vietnam. China has been invited to participate in the conference, which begins Feb.
