THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, FA. May 4, 1944, NO INQUIRIES ON MISSING ARE GIVEN Red Cross Restricted on Seeking News of Service Men The relatives of servicemen ree ported missing in action frequently ask the American Red Cross to cable an inquiry to the International Committee of the Red Cross a Geneva in the hope of obtaining further information about a service man’s fate All inquiries sent by the American Red Cross to the International Committee are subject to United States government regulations, which do not permit the sending of inquiries to enemy countries or through territory held by the enemy, about United States servicemen of- ficially reported missing in action As Inquiries to the Committee must pass through en- emy-held territory, those pertaining fo persons missing in action cannot be transmitted. These regulations apply in all cases, and exceptions cannot be made even though, as an example, other members of the same bomber crew may have already been officially reported ag prisoners of War. When a serviceman falis into en- emy hands, United States author- ities are entirely enemy government for information concerning him. Reports about ser- vicemen captured by the enemy are sent, in due course, by the enemy government through the Protecting Power or the International Commit- tee of the Red Cross, to the govern ment of the country in whose forces the man was serving. There may, however be a lapse of weeks or months between the time a man is reported missing in action ang hi reappearance either as a prisoner of war or in his own unit if he suc- ceeds in rejoining it) a.
