post.
The Pentagon previously listed ax Americans captive
in Laos aid 311 missing. Two of the six turned up on the
list of those held in North Vietnam
Although only a small number had been listed as cap-
tured, the Pentagon believes that other men earned as
missing were taken alive by enemy forces in Laos Most of
the missing there are pilots shot down in air strikes
against the jungle supply routes known as the Ho Chi Minh
trail.
The Pentagon has charged that North Vietnam, in
identifyir , 555 captives, failed to account for 56 other GIs
known to have been prisoners of war in Southeast Asia.
Officials are hoping the Laotian list will swell the number
of POW s to be released by the Communists beginning next
week.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon said it expects to
receive from North Vietnam today the missing list of U.S.
prisoners of war held la Laos.
Pentagon spokesman Jerry W Friedheim said the list
was to be turned over toUS diplomats in Paris by North
Viztnamese officials and transmitted to Washington.
• ‘We do expect it to indude all Americans held in Laos,
military and civilian, held by North Vietnam and Pathet
Lao,” he said.
US. prisoners held in Laos were not included in the two
lists given U.S officials in Paris Saturday identifying 555
Americans held captive in North and South Vietnam and
to others who died in enemy camps But once US officials
realized the POWs in Laos were missing from the list, the
United Stales pressed North Vietnam for those names.
