WASHINGTON (UPI)
• No-Star Hotel’
By MAJ. CHARLES BOYD
(Written for UPI)
Isolation holds its own special terrors. Without our tap code we
could not have survived the dungeons of North Vietnam.
Enormous strength was gained simply through communication
with other human beings, knowing somebody else was there pulling
for you. that he was in the same boat with you.
’ The man in the next cell may have had tips on survival and I might
have had ideas that helped him in dealing with our Vietnamese
captors. Everything was shared, unselfishly.
Self-discipline. of course, was the key to sanity, but the tap code
was a basic factor in maintaining military discipline.
Not everyone had the strength to stand alone. Not everyone is a
leader. We needed leadership, someone to tell us what to do and how
, to do it. Colonel Risner was that man until Col. John Flynn was
captured in 1967. They gave us guidelines in which to sink our teeth.
We all discovered that living in a total vacuum without information
or new ideas develops a fantastic thirst for knowledge of any kind.
Periodically, we were given Communist propaganda tracts which we
humorously read. But until just prior to my release I never saw an
American magazine or newspaper, much less a book.
» So we built dream houses in our minds. We went sailing around the
world or invested in fantastic business enterprises. For example, one
man was building a house in his mind, but didn’t know the cost of
concrete per square yard. Using the code, he would sound out his
neighbors until at last one of the POWs would know the answer. The
facts would be relayed to the builder, who then went contentedly
, along with his project.
The important point is that each and every man in the prisons with
whom I had contact would go out on a limb, at great personal risk, to
get the information asked by a fellow POW.
If a prisoner was caught, he was punished—either "going into the
