Importance of an event but who

I think it is virtue that good
soldiers have, as well as good

When mentioned having talked
with 1t. Weathers the general
said:
"He is a fine young officer. I
pinned the DISC on him myself on
Okinawa. And it should have
been the Congressional Medal of

That was the last heard of the
lieutenant for several weeks. It
isn't every day that an ordinary
war reporter bumps into recon-

ordinary job is to seek and locate
the hidden enemy.

They are up against a list of

Had it not been for the now

chance it gave Mr.. Lynch and the
Democratic campaigners to charge
that Gov. Dewey had bought" his

the campaign might have beer
merely an attempt by weak outfit

Southeast Korean city was a

men were among the last to leave
Chinju. They were in a column
of Americans retrating toward
Masan, in the direction of Pusan.

the lieutenant said suddenly. And
back into Chinju he went, with a
jeep and truck, to search for
men lost from his outfit.
He found none and had to shoot
out two machinegun nests and
winch his vehicles across a blown
out bridge to get back out again.
I met him in a Masan hospital

the Korean war.
This statement followed Amer
lean Army official estimates that
three Chinese Red divisions or
their numerical equivalents were
fighting in Korea.
A United States 9Th Army
spokesman said two Chinese divi-
sions or their equivalents were
fighting in Northwest Korea,
while a United States Marine
spokesman said a full Chinese

in Northeast Korea.
The Marine spokesman said the
Chinese Reds were fighting around
the Changjin (Coshin) reservoir.

of beer he told me the rest of the
lieutenant story.
"A few days after Chinju the
lieutenant was supporting an in

said Corpl. Williams. "A rocket

"A machinegun opened up on the
car. The lieutenant crawled out
and charged it. He knocked it
out, too, holding his carbine in one

people who owned the machine
gun got the lieutenant"
For this feat 1t. Weathers was
posthumously awarded cluster
to his DISC.
The corporal lifted up the beer

that lieutenant was quite a guy

If this revolt is strong enough,
it may carry with it danger for the

HONG KONG, Nov. 4.-The
Chinese Communists have opened
the foodgates of propaganda and
the ensuing roar sounds as if they
intend full-scale Intervention in
Korea.
Already the growing evidence
that the Chinese have entered the
Korean war to a limited extent is
causing uneasineSs in non-Com-
munist areas of this part of Asia.
The feeling in this British crown
colony on the edge of Red China
is that the world is only a narrow
step away from third great war.
And such a war would bring the
heavy force of Communist arms to
bear against such small, non-
Communist holdout areas as this.
The prevailing opinion here still
is that the Chinese Communists

the Army has received any in

Asked about the matter at the
regular briefing of Pentagon re-
porters. he said:

of Chinese units from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters, we cannot

More Information Sought.
What the State Department and
Pentagon want to pin down un-
mistakably is whether % the
Chinese Communists have en-
barked on large scale intervention
at the risk of setting off a new
world war. or CD engaged in a
Soviet-style adventure in power
politics which could be short lived
or turn into protracted border
fighting.
American officials are gravely
concerned over the threat that
guerrilla fighting like that recent
ly beaten down in Greece may be
duplicated in North Korea, but
seemingly prefer that prospect to
a full dress war with China.
Should evidence become in
escapable that entire Chinese
divisions or other large units have
been moved across the border

would be up to the U. N.
