U.S. Soldier
Tells of Capture
By Laos Guerrillas
SAIGON, South Viet Nam UP) —
A U.S. soldier released by Com
munist guerrillas told yesterday of
35-hour .forced marches during
which his arms were bound and
his captors led him with a rope
around his neck.
Spec. 4 George F. Fryett Jr., 26,
of Long Beach, Calif., told a news
conference he was exhibited in
many villages during six months
in Viet Cong captivity. He said he
had to read Communist propaganda
aloud at gun point four or five
times a day.
Fryett, 26 pounds thinner than
when he was captured on Christ
mas Eve, consulted with a U.S. In
telligence agent before replying to
questions from newsmen. He de
nied, as he has done before, that
he cooperated in any way with the
Viet Cong while he was held in
the jungle.
Before allowing him to appear
at the news conference, U.S. au
thorities apparently decided he re
vealed no secrets to his Commu
nist captors and signed no state
ments critical of the United States.
He said he knew nothing about a
letter Communist broadcasters said
he had written to his family criti
cizing U.S. support for the South
Vietnamese government.
Fryett said the pair of sandals
he had been wearing when cap
tured fell apart because of constant
exposure to water and marching.
His feet were badly blistered.
The soldier said he tried to es
cape once by slipping into a river.
He managed to loosen his hands
while partially under water, he
said, and pulled the rope around
his neck loose. He then tried to
swim away under water, but he
was caught and bound tightly again.
Viet Cong, Fryett said, he was
kept at gun point by guards total
ing from seven to 50 men.
Fryett was captured while riding
a bicycle about 15 miles from Sai
gon. He was released last Sunday.
