News in Brief: Koje Island Riots. "This prison island, already the scene of violence between Communist prisoners and anti-Red converts, flares into violence again. Communist prisoners started the riot by jeering at converted prisoners." **Note: The violence described is not shown in this footage. A couple of Korean prisoners of war (POWs) enter gate to compound, past African American MP. Shot through barbed wire of a few prisoners, one seems happy. Man (Captain Walter Leahy?) poses for camera, bandage on his head, holding a rock Leahy claims wounded him; with him is General Francis Dodd (?). Other shots through the barbed wire.
