of day. For really ladies, that little
issue is most important.
Most women everywhere this
season will be walking the straight
and narrow, for that is the ma
jor fashion silhouette. If you have
chosen as your first ensemble a
two-pieee affair whose skirt is
about mid-calf all around, you
were especially smart, because
that little number may be worn
for daytime as well as after five.
If yeu have chosen such colors
as black, sanka brown, blue (from
wedgewood to ink), gray (Licor-
ice or bankers shade), you're de-
finitely practical. To all of these
a dash of color may be added for
daytime. Your high key colors done
up in complete ensembles are the
choice for late day, important oc-

changed positions.
And this brings to mind the
battalion's shrewd, battle-tested
commander, Col. Joseph E. Buys,
Richfield, Utah. He was promoted
to full Colonel on the Korean
battlefront.
Said one soldier in the fire di-
rection center: "Col. Buys always
seems to sense trouble before it
gets here and we have had very
little incoming mail"
Col. Buys has spoken we'll of
his outfit and in an interview
said:
81 wish no greater pleasure than
the one l have at present com
handing this battalion. Frankly, |
believe it's the best outfit in Ko-
rea."
With the exception of Col. Buys
and a few other officers, the unit
has all Negro officers, including
two warrant officers.
The two highest ranking Negro
officers in the battalion are Capt.
Charles H. Barbour, Junction City,
Kans., and Capt. Robert B. Coplin,
Tulsa, Okla. The former is bat
TALON intelligence officer while
Capt. Coplin is the battalion's only
Negro commander of a firing bat
terry. C battery, which he leads, is
reputedly the deadliest battery in
the battalion.
The battalion, whose battle cry
is eve Can Do IT,, is composed
chiefly of men between the ages
of Is and 20, but there are enough
"old timers" to make an equal bal
ance.
One of the units oldest nom
CONS is M Sgt. Harvey CHM, Ia
coma, Wash, who was one of the
. original members when the unit
was organized early in 1913. AS
chief of section he controls three
guns in c battery.
Twenty-one year old Cpl. Clar-
| ence Gordon, Los Angeles, Calf,
a graduate Of jefferson High
| school there, is a battalion com
| putor, mainly on the strength of
! his excellent math background.
One of the most daring men in
| unit is Pfc. George C. Michel, 20,
Racine, Wis, who reports enemy
positions from close up. On many
occasions he's out in front Of
friendly infantry. He is a forward
| observer with a rich knowledge of
artillery theory.

Making History
By. Frank Morton

PANTRY DIVISION IN KOREA
(ANP)- cit might be the legen-
Diary outfit of the End Division
when the war is over. They're
doing a great job, no kidding.
That compliment was paid to a
Negro outfit Of artillery by a End
Division headquarters soldier who
has been keeping an eagle eye on
the unit since it was first commit
I'd into action over a month ago
in Korea.
The unit is one of two Negro
combat battalions now fighting
with the Indian head division. The
other outfit is an infantry battal-
ion which, until the UN drive in
mid-September, a part of a
special task force defending the
airstrip at Pohang.
The artillery battalion, with it's
10 155mm h~owitzers, is the heavies
part of the divisions artillery
force. It's job is to give general
support to the entire division.
For more than a month the unit
has been pounding the Reds along
the bloody Naktong river route
and the standard it has set is a
challenge to member units of the
a., division.
The boming blast from one Of
it's big weapons can reach out and
strike the enemy 10 miles away
with a 95-pound %projectile.
At the time of this writing the
battalion has had only four COM
bat casualties, two of which were
ambush incidents.
In the words of Maj. Edwin
Clapp, Sheridan, Wyo., battalion
executive officer: "The battalion
has done everything it has been
asked to do, so therefore we sus-
pect there's nothing it can't do"
In day and night bombardments
on enemy positions, the unit has
destroyed or damaged bridges,
crossroads, supply build-ups, gun
positions and various vehicles
ranging from command cars to
tanks.
But the Red troops themselves
have caught most Of the lethal
blow. In one terrorizing attack,
when the enemy tried to cross the
Nagtong in force, the battalion
turned on six of it's guns and af-
ter 40 minutes the river was lit
tered with Communist dead. One
report said the water stayed red
for three hours.
This sort of attack has become
an increasing menace to the Reds
and many times patrols have slip.
ped through the divisions thir
defense perimeter in vain attempts
to wreak havoc on this deadly
force. But always these patrols
have been met by advance guards
who have either killed or driver
them back.

This combination of age and
youth make the battalion what it
is, and there is no real difference.
They have pooled knowledge and
experience to set new and higher
standards.
And, SO, when that headquarters
soldier made his statement he
was speaking for hundreds of
other soldiers who rely on this Ne
gro outfit to lend its support. For
they too, feel that it is a living
legend and they place all trust in
the battalion's motto:
"We Can Do IT."

SEOUL, Sept. 20.-Arsonists
yesterday set Scouts capitol afire
shortly after Gen. Macarthur and
President Syngman Rhee left the

GRAFTON ceremony.
Security officers had removed a
dynamite bomb from the building
before Gen. Macarthur and DR..
Rhee arrived.
Officials agreed the building
had been set afire deliberately
Flames appeared in separate parts
of the shell-damaged structure.
Mrs. Rhee, who had attended
the ceremony. ordered citizens to
throw sand on the blaze when she
was told no one was fighting the
fire. Water mains had been
broken by the fighting for the city.
What if there isn't any water?"
she demanded. They can throw
on sand. Sandbags from the bar
ricades on the street can be emp
tied on the fire."
Main Floor Charred.
The fire had burned itself out
this morning, but not until the
main floor of Offices was charred.
The Assembly chamber, where
Gen. Macarthur turned over the
city to DR.. Rhee, escaped damage.
Liberated Seoul awoke this
to the incessant pound
ing of heavy artillery. The thun-
der of the guns was to the north
east and close. American fighter
planes circled over the capital.
After two hours the rate of
shelling abated, but the firing
continued.

Nationalist Depressed
By Red Chinese Invitation

TAIPEI, Formosa, Sept. 80 (P).
This Nationalist Chinese capital
was depressed today by the United
Nations Security Councils de-
cision to invite a Red China
spokesman to present Communist
charges of United States aggres-
sion in FormoSa.
It was taken for granted here
that one result of the hearing
would be decision to send a u. N.
commission to FormoSa to lnvesti-
gate the Red charges. The Ma
tionalists have steadily indicated
their opposition to such a coniris-
sion.
To many, the news that the
Reds are going to have chance
to present their case before the
Security Council is a virtual guar
antee that no Communist attempt
to seize Formosa will be made as
long as the question remains under
discussion.
Meanwhile. Nationalist officials
and the press urged United Ma
tions forces to enter North Korea
and unity that Asiatic nation.
The official Central Daily News
said occupation of the entire
country is the only means of in
suring peace and security in
