Negro Soldiers
Prove Their Value
In Koreo War


indicate that colored combat SOL
diers are proving their mettle in
the Korean campaign.
One of the reasons perhaps is
that they are getting better
chance to prove their fighting abil-
ity than they got in either World
War I, when colored soldiers were
assigned mostly to labor battal-
ions, or in World War II, when
they had their morale shattered
by being trained as combat SOL
diers and then converted, with few
exceptions, into service troops.
Another is the example set by
the Oath Infantry Regiment, about
which a regimental combat team
has been built. With a history dat
ing back to the Civil War and in
Guiding credit for saving Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough
Riders at San Juan Hill, Santiago,
Cuba, in the Spanish American
War, this regiment is winning new
laurelS.
This regiment has been in the
front line for thirty-five consecu-
tive. days. It attacked three times
and captured Yechon in July when
towns captured by American
forces were few and far between.
At the time, Army operations
were basically planned withdraw
ais and delaying actions to gain
time to permit build-up of
forces.
The regiment attacked for three
days and on the fourth captured
mountain position called Little
Casino" on the southern front.
One company was down to twelve
men in this attack.
Like most units in Korea, the
oath Regiment has suffered heavy
casualties and has lacked replace
mentS.
The first big batch of replace
ments arrived at the front in South
Korea last Wednesday night to boil
ster the hard-hitting colored in
fantryman, who had been heavily
engaged in the Chinju area.
For security reasons, the rein
forcements were not identified by
unit but they were described as
large-scale.
The infantrymen of the Oath
Regiment silently climbed a pre-
cipitous mountain in the dead of
night, slipped behind North Kor-
can positions in the area west of
Haman, and without a single
casualty last Wednesday captured
Little Casino"
It was high ground for which
scores of colored infantrymen
fought bloodily for three days and
on the fourth day they captured
it.
Then, in the confusion that so
often marks war, other American
troops not aware that the Oath
Regiment had at last taken "Lit-
tie Cassino," unleashed mortar
barrage of white phosphorus and
high explosives. One colored SOL
dier was wounded.
An order came down from high
er command to move down from
the peak for a realignment of po-
sitions. The men, under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Gabriel Anselmo,
of Portland, Oregon, angrily with
drew.
Three hours later Red Koreans
were observed back at the pictur-
esque Buddhist temple whose light
had flickered during the predawn
hours few yards back of the Oath
Regiments positions.
Navy planes came in and at
tackled the temple with rockets.
Little Casino" was given its
name by a veteran of the bitter
fight for the abbey of Monte Cas-
sino in Italy, which Japanese-Am-
ericans stormed and took while
fighting with the Fifth Army, of

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 11.-Fire in
a hold of the United States Lines

been controlled, and the ship
proceeded under her own power
today toward Halifax, Novia

The Coast Guard cutter Ing

when it was apparent that the
American Producer was in no
danger.

Use Of Surplus WheaI
To Offset Crop Loss
May Be Necessary
By me A,soe,otsd Press

That 425 million bushels of
wheat taken over as surplus by
the Government may come in
handy this year.
Heavy damage to a greatly re-
duced acreage of winter wheat
raised the possibility that some
OF this reserve from previous
years may be needed to meet the
Nations domestic and export re-
quirements during the coming
marketing season.
An Agriculture Department
survey yesterday cut 12l million
bushels of a winter wheat crop
which last December / had been
forecast at 885 million bushels.
This reduction reflected crop
damage caused by dry weather
and insects in the Southern Great
Plains.
Surplus Tied Up in Supports.
While no forecast has been
made on spring wheat produc-
ton. it is possible for harvest of
all wheat this year to drop below
prospective billion-bushel mar
ket. In that case. the surplus
would be help.
Much of the surplus is tied up
under Government price support
programs. Should the crop drop
below market needs. the Govern
ment would be in a position to
get back some of the money it has
invested in the grain.
The crop damage slowed Gov
eminent plans to invoke rigid
marketing quotas on the 1851
wheat crop. This years crop is
being grown under a voluntary
acreage allotment program. But
plans for compulsory marketing
quotas on next years crop have
been under official discussion.
Other Crops May Be in Trouble.
! While it is too early to size up
prospects for other crops. early
department reports indicate that
there may be trouble ahead for
products besides winter wheat.
Cotton faces a struggle with a
record number of boil weevils in
the Deep South. Cold. wet wealth
er in much of the country during
March slowed work on preparing
seedbeds for such spring grains as
oats. rice. barley and corn.
The peach crop in the Pacific
Northwest will be extremely short,
the department said, due to severe
winter weather. Likewise, peach
prospects in some sections of the
| South and Midwest have been re-
duced by early frosts.
