I want to tell you that it is great to be American citizen . . . among the Koreans and among the prisoners we saw. There is only one way out of this is through Christian world. We are missionaries and we hope most of us to go back there. The Koreans I would not say that they are all liking the government of North Korea, I am not saying South Korea is perfect but North Korea, we have a lot of friends up there. We have a lot of friends, a lot of Christians up there . . . We want America to do all they can but not compromise... do all you can to see America and the whole world become so the Russians will not be always fighting war with us so they would not be fight war with us" / WS internees / PAN from cameraman to journalists / SOT Jensen: "While we were in Korea, the first part period of time was very difficult because the Koreans' Northern government collapsed.

Part of the time we were in a penitentiary because they could not find anyplace to put us" / Note: exact day not known
