For Standby Mobilization
by the Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug
4.-The Netherlands government
announced last night preparations
for standby mobilization of three

A communique said the govern

these divisions for active service
but would take such measures so
as to be able to mobilize them on
short notice"
The communique said:
The Netherlands government
is of the opinion that the Neither
lands. with the other countries of
the North Atlantic treaty, will
have to make a greater effort now
the development of the interna-
tional situation necessitates a
speedier building up of the de-
tense system of the free world"
For this reason, it added. the
Dutch budget has been revised.

250 Red in First Attack.
This is the way it happened,
Col. Michaelis said after recon-
structing the fight from question
ing prisoners and finding enemy
dead strewn through rice fields, a
battered village and on the ridges:
About $50 Reds slipped down
a draw. They bumped into the
entire American battalion which
had fought it's way from behind
enemy lines only few hours be-
fore.
That was about 7 am. Ameri-
can bakers, mechanics, drivers
and every one around the head
quarters company got into the
fight.
The Reds brought up another
500 troops at 9 am. They came
along a back road on trucks and
piled out not far from the COM
mand post.
1855 Used Point Blank.
The artillery battery near the
command post turned polnt-blank
fire on the Communists from its
big 155s. The Americans hastily
formed a defense line from which
they could pour carbine and NOR
tar fire into the attacking Reds.
The artillery fire was directed
by Lit. Col. Augustus T. Terry of
New Orleans.
II don't believe that the 155s
ever were used at that close range
before" Col. Michaelis said.
Many of the attackers dashed
into a little mud hut village. The
artillery blasted it to bits. Bodies
of the Reds were found today
strewn among the ruins.
The extent of the American
surprise at the victory is indicated
by first estimates after the battle
It's Reds killed, which later
turned out to be 600.
16 Americans Killed.
The Americans lost 16 killed
and A wounded, regimental
officers estimated.
The Red commander was ideni-
fed with the paybook he carried.
The book showed his rank and
his records of service in the
North Korean army.
The American victory appeared
to strengthen the entire southern
anchor Of the defense lines.

deputy Territorial auditor, last night
received the last award to be made
by the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc,

A deer-feeding program was
launched last year by the sports
men, in an effort to maintain the
stock of game in the face OF severe
winters, MacSpadden said. In addi-
ton to this program, groundwork is
being done which will result in the
introduction of new game fish ano
birds to this area. he said.
The Territorial Sportsmen's club
is made up of 200 members, but
membership is not closed.

DESTROYED BY FIRE

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 16-{R-A
spectacular fire virtually destroyed
the Western Boat Building and the
Marine Iron Works plants at the
east end of the 18th Street bridge
here last midnight.
Martin Petrich, ST., owner OF the
boat building plant. said Il would
say the plant can't be duplicated for
less than $2,000,000." He said only
a small percentage of the value of
the plant was covered by insurance,
and this was based on 1912 figures.
He said the equipment in the ma
rine iron works plants was more
fully covered.
Damage estimates ranged from
half a million dollars upward.
A 100-foot tuna clipper on the boat
company ways was 20 percent de-
stroyed. Several tractors at the ma
rine iron works building also were
lost.
Eleven fire companies and the
city fireboat battled the flames
which at times threatened TO spread
to the nearby Northwest Door Com
pany.

NAVAL RESEARCH
EXPERT TO JOIN
JIRp ON ice CAP

In line with one objective OF the
Office of Naval Research, DR.. Louis
o. Guam Of that office plans to
spend ten days observing work OF
the Juneau Icefield Research Pro-
ject (JIRP) on the Juneau Ice Cap.
That objective, in Quam's words,
is to keep in touch with the scien-
tific world, know who the principal
scientists are and what they are
doing"
The JIRP expedition sponsored
by the American Geographical Soc
iety of New York is supported
financially by O.NR... part of the
scientific research wholly or partly
financed through contracts with
scientific institutions and univer-
sites.
The U. S. Army supplies JIRP
with equipment, the Air Force and
Navy with logistics support. THIS,
the glacial and allied studies make
up an all-Defense Department pro-
ject, according to DR.. Guam.
Professor of geography at the
University of Virginia at Chariot
tesville, DR.. Guam was called for
ONR. duty in February on an in.
definite assignment which will de-
pend on world conditions.
The O.NR was set up by the
Congress after World War II. 1t
is designed as a permanent organ
ization to carry on the kind of work
done by the Office of Scientific
Research and Development, which
built the atom bomb.
DR.. Guam, who says he is really
a Photographer. has as his special
interest glaciers and glacier top
ography.
with the Arctic recognized as a
vital region DR.. Guam said today,
knowledge of ice and permafrost
is essential Arctic operations, for
instance, need structures on ice and
permafrost. We know very little
about the mechanical movement of
ice-what makes it move, how much
water there is at low levels, the
effects of freezing and thawing on
the whole ice mass and such ques-
tons"
Most of DR.. Quam's pre-war work
was at the University of Colorado
His original home was Boulder
Colo, and he was in Naval Intel
ligence during the war.
From here, DR.. Guam will go tt
Point Barrow to visit the Naval
Research Laboratory which is max
ing permafrost studies. He will re-
turn directly from the Interior tt
