Paramount questions, which must be answered satisfactorily, they say, will lie: Hundreds of Indian trapllnVs have been spoiled by recent large Industrial projects, robbing those natives of their only and hereditary means of livelihood. No compensation has been made. What will be done about this? Why are natives required to obtain a permit to shoot game for food? Often the warden is hundreds of miles from the needy family and yet Indians, who feed their families In this manner, are being continually prosecuted and fined or Jailed. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. Senator Duff Dies in Sleep either side. "In the party were French priests, two over 80 and several over 70. and old women and some children." Most of those who died on the march were American soldiers, he said. The old people and children were given lifts in trucks. But the deaths continued even after the group arrived at its destination. He said about 250 died then from exhaustion. Including two Belgian nuns, a French nun and an Anglican tlatar. "It was terrible. That man "The Tiger" will live la my memory always." LONDON (API An Anglican bishop, just returned after being imprisoned in North Korea since the early days of the war, said today he participated in a forced march organized by North Koreans in which 96 persons mostly American soldiers died. About 250 more persons died of exhaustion after the march of more than 100 miles ended, the Rt Rev. Alfred Cecil Cooper added. He arrived In England Wednesday with a group of prisoners released through the intervention of the Kremlin. He told a press conference that on All Hallows Eve-October 31, 1950 a party of about 700 American soldiers and 68 civilians, Including himself, started nine-day march between 100 and 150 miles from Manpo, on the Yalu River, to Chung Kang, North Korea. "The longest distance we marched In a day of this terrible Journey was 15 miles," the 70-year-old churchman continued. "A North Korean major of police whom we called 'the tiger we did not find" out his real name was in command. The column was guarded by armed men on terrace returns !imt to Queen Char.
