Under the Geneva Convention, signed by North Viet Nam in 1957, prisoners are to be humanely treated and identified, sick and injured released.

The daughter of a Greensboro, N.C., dentist, she attended Centenary College in Hackettstown, N.J., and later Miami University of Ohio. She went to Washington to work for Robert Kennedy in 1967. Her co-workers in the Kennedy mail room remember her as lively and exceptionally competent.
