Missing Korean War servicemen
secretly taken to Soviet Union
Study says about 50 soldiers were never returned
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - About 50
U.S. servicemen missing from the
Korean War, including three air
men shot down in a B-29 bomber,
were taken secretly to the Soviet
Union and never returned, a com
prehensive new study ordered by
the Pentagon concludes.
The conclusion, in a report pre
pared by Rand Corp. for the De
fense Department, parallels an as
sertion the U.S. government made
to Moscow last September that it
had developed broad and com
pelling evidence of such transfers.
The Rand study, however, dis
counts the possibility that the So
viets took more than about 50
Americans. The U.S. government
claim was of several hundred
transfers, although officials since
have backtracked by lowering
their estimate and saying their
September claim overstated the
certainty of their knowledge.
Charles Freeman, Jr., the assis
tant secretary of defense for re
gional security affairs, stated in a
Nov. 4, 1993, letter that ''perhaps
a dozen may have been trans
ferred" and noted the Russian
government has not admitted to
any transfers.
About 8,100 American service
men officially are listed as unac
counted for from the Korean War,
but Rand estimates that the true
number for which there is no di
rect evidence of death is 2,195,
and some of those probably disin
tegrated on the battlefield.
The Rand study says there is
little doubt that the Soviets took
Americans during the 1950-53
war in which Moscow's forces in
North Korea and China secretly
fought air battles against U.S. and
allied planes and interrogated
American prisoners. The main un
certainty is how many were tak
en, the study said.
The Soviet 64th Air Corps was
headquartered during the war at
Mukden, China, and an air de
fense unit organized under the
64th was based at Andong, China,
near the Korean border. Also, So
viet military intelligence during
the war was organized under the
64th, although the KGB operated
independently, the study said.
"There is no doubt, and there
is ample direct eyewitness testi
mony to support the conclusion
that Soviet intelligence organs ex
ploited U.S. servicemen in Korea,
in China and on the USSR territo
ry," the study concluded.
Harding prepares for questioning,
Kerrigan returns to ice for practice
The Associated Press
nya
Harding prepared Monday for
her first questioning by the dis
trict attorney amid reports that
her ex-husband was about to be
arrested and that funds from the
U.S. Figure Skating Association
may have been used to finance the
attack on Olympic skating rival
Nancy Kerrigan.
NBC News reported that au
thorities have bank and wire
transfer records that could tie Jeff
Gillooly to the three men already
in custody in the alleged conspira
cy. NBC said the
lazy," Harding said. "It's just not
me."
Hours later, Kerrigan skated
publicly for the first time since the
Jan. 6 clubbing in Detroit.
Kerrigan practiced for one hour
at a rink in her hometown of
Stoneham, Mass.
She had no limp or visible ef
fect of the injury to her right knee.
"I was kind of stiff at first,"
Kerrigan said. "After I kept going,
it loosened up more and more and
I felt better."
Kerrigan would not comment
on the legal aspects of her case.
Harding was scheduled to
meet with the Multnomah County
records could con- //-t-v, . . . j r t tt j* i
firm bodyguard This is a tragedy for Tonya Harding, who
Shawn Eckardt s j ias worked long and hard for this moment
claim that Gillooly °
financed the Jan.
attack in Detroit.
NBC also con
firmed a report in
The Oregonian
newspaper that in- '
vestigators suspect Gillooly paid
for the hit with some money do
nated by Harding's supporters to
finance her skating. The money,
the reports said, may have come
from the USFSA and other bene
factors, including New York Yan
kees owner George Steinbrenner.
Gillooly and Harding, who
were divorced last year but have
reconciled, have denied any
wrongdoing.
Harding sneaked out of her
house around midnight Sunday
and practiced for the first time
since winning the U.S. Figure
Skating Championships.
"When I don't skate I feel
... this is a case where there are two vic
tims."
-Ron Hoevet, Jeff Gillooly's attorney
district attorney's office, assistant
D.A. Norm Frink said. He did not
say when the meeting would take
place. No meeting was set with
Gillooly.
Gillooly said through an attor
ney that Eckardt acted on his own
in the attack and was not really
Harding's bodyguard.
That statement was contradict
ed by a letter that surfaced Mon
day, purportedly written by
Gillooly and bearing his letter
head.
It said:
"My wife, Tonya Harding
Gillooly, is a world-class figure
skater and therefore subject to un
usual risk. We have engaged the
protection services of Shawn
Eckardt on numerous occasions
both nationally and abroad. He is
a capable and effective presence.
Shawn is concientious (sic) of his
responsibilities and has never dis
appointed us.
"I have every intention of uti
lizing his expertize (sic) in the fu
ture and cannot think of any indi
vidual that could surpass Mr.
Eckardt's capabilities."
Copies of the letter, attached to
Eckardt's resume, were given to
reporters by Keith Lowe, an inde
pendent security guard in Port
land. Lowe said he wanted peo
ple to know more about Eckardt.
"He almost ru
ined my career,"
Lowe said. "He
threatened me. He
wanted to be a se
curity coordinator.
I got someone else
to fill his spot."
Gillooly's attor
ney, Ron Hoevet,
said Gillooly be
lieved Eckardt was in the security
business.
"He was someone Jeff had
known since grade school days,"
Hoevet said. "It was someone Jeff
befriended. Jeff sort of looked out
for him so he wouldn't be picked
on."
"This is a tragedy for Tonya
Harding, who has worked long
and hard for this moment," Ho
evet said. "If Tonya recovers from
this, she's always going to be tar
nished by it because Shawn
Eckardt has done this to her. This
is a case where there are two vic
tims."
Clinton reveals
community plan
during MLK
holiday speech
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Marking
Martin Luther King Day, Presi
dent Clinton said Monday the
slain civil rights leader would be
pained to know his country had
done so little to bring peace to its
streets. He suggested King would
ask, "How come this is so?"
Clinton also used the King
holiday to announce the start of
an "empowerment zone" com
munity development program
and to sign an executive order on
housing discrimination.
In a speech to a predominantly
black audience at Howard Uni
versity, Clinton saluted King as
the nation's premier voice "for
human rights and human poten-
tial"
And if King were still alive,
Clinton said, he would be asking
why there was not more action to
stop violence and to bring togeth
er people who are afraid of and
alienated from one another.
"It is our duty to continue the
struggle that is not yet finished,"
the president said. "We’will nev
er do this unless we create the
ways and means for people to
choose a peaceful and hopeful
life."
"We've got a lot of walls, still,
to tear down in this country. This
is not a problem of race. This is a
problem of the American family.
We'd better get about solving it
as a family," he said.
A year ago, Clinton, then the
president-elect, told an audience
at the same university that he
hoped to redeem King's promise
of equal opportunity.
"I haven't seen him promote
anything," said New York ac
tivist A1 Sharpton. "Clinton is
like an old James Brown record:
talking loud and saying noth
ing."
And some were put off by
Clinton's address in November,
when he stood in the Memphis,
Tenn., pulpit where King gave
his last speech before being killed
in 1968. Clinton said there that
King would be appalled to see to
day's rampant black-against-
black violence.
Roger Wilkins, a longtime civil
rights activist and now professor
of history at George Mason Uni
versity in Fairfax, va., said Clin
ton failed to follow that speech
with action.
"It's despicable for the presi
dent not to offer a iobs program
when he offers all tnis gratuitous
advice on our behavior," Wilkins
said.
Clinton conceded Monday
there was much work to be done,
but he defended his own record.
He said he has five black Cabinet
members and the bulk of his
nominees for federal judgeships
are minorities,
