ATIS INTERROGATION REPORT NO. 2647　8 November 1950

FIELD REPORT (164 - MISDI - 1225)　17 November 1950

Very uncooperative.

PW seemed to he in fair physical condition. He claimed ignorance of activity of his unit. PW allegedly did not even know that he is in Korea.

PW is a confirmed believer in communism and at first stated that he has been a Communist Party member for 5 years; then later denied that he was a communist. Although PW stated that he has had 3 years of schooling, he feigns illiteracy. Reliability of information in general is doubtful, and in parts is absolutely false. PW was thoroughly interrogated on 16 Nov 50, then given a nights rest and reinterrogated on 17 Nov 50. Results were still inconclusive and confusing. Do not recommend further interrogation as PW is apparently mentally deficient.

3rd Bn is composed of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Rifle Companies.
