Both told news- men they expect harassment when they get home. The soldiers are Sgt. George E. Smith, 27, of Chester, W. Va., and Spec. 5 Claude E. 'McClure, 25, of Chattanooga, Tenn., who were captured with two other Americans in a guerrilla attack on a special forces camp outside Saigon Nov,. 24, 1963. McClure said the Viet Cong car- ed for his wounds, shared their food with him, required him to do little work and allowed him Red Cross packages and mail from his family. McClure declared that, if he had been a prisoner of the Saigon government, "I would have been tortured." Both Sides ,I have known both sides and' the war in Viet Nam is of no in- terest to the United States," Smith said. He reported he is returning home "so Americans can see the light about the war in Viet Nam." Well Treated Both said they were treated well during their two years of captivity. Smith said he believed their liberation was "the direct result of protests in America against U.S. involvement in the Viet Nam war." McClure and Smith were cap- tured with two other Americans in a Viet Cong attack on. a special forces camp outside of Saigon on Nov. 24, 1963. March ,the Viet Cong announced the release of McClure and Smith Sat- urday, the day of a "march for peace" in Washington. The guer-- rillas said the two were being freed to show good will towards Ameri- cans opposing the war. Smith and McClure said they chose to be repatriated through Cambodia rather than South Viet Nam because "Cambodia is at peace." They crossed the frontier Sun- day and were brought to Phnom Penh Monday. am Fighting oldiers Pra. 1 PicksPope Pail Of Birth VATICAN CITY ( P)-A Vatic Ecumenical Council source sE sC atryesterday that the assembly's bi control document has been revis to provide a basis for possi change in Church teaching again f bi/ contraception, while upholdi B oth Sides current restrictions.
