THE HISTORY OF September 24th
 
TODAY IN 1953: Twenty-three Korean-American prisoners of war, who have refused to be repatriated to the United States during a United Nations prisoner exchange, are turned over to India by the North Korean command.

The U.S.soldiers issue this statement: "We love our country and our people. . . . Unfortunately, under present conditions in America, the voices of those who speak out for peace and freedom are rapidly being silenced. We do not intend to give the American government a chance of silencing our voices too.
