Lots of Letter for Released Fiancé--Theresa MacDonald of Brooklyn, N.Y., poses with a letter two hundred yards long which took her two months to write to her POW fiancé, Cpl. William C. Rhatigan, Queens, N.Y., who was released by the Reds in Korea Wednesday. The letter fills two hundred yards of adding machine tape four inches wide. She said she will ask the Army how to mail the bulky letter so Rhatigan can read it on his way home.
