Another Flagpole
DEFY GENERAL'S ORDERS
Koje Island, June 3.
Communist prisoners-of-war erected another flagpole in Compound- 602 this morning on the spot where tank-supported American guards pull- ed down the Red standard yesterday.
The new challenge to Brigadier-General Haydon L. Boatner's orders came only a few hours after General Mark Clark warned during his first inspection of the turbulent island prison that the "maximum amount of force" required will be used to make the cocky Reds toe the line..
The prisoners, were strangely submissive o n Monday, pulling down their flags and signs in one notoriously tough compound on Gen, Boatner's orders, silently watching a tauk-infantry team haul down and burn Red banners in an other enclosure, and meekly watching American troops plug holes in a barricade and acize one propaganda sign from a third compound.
