Russians Held Behind Korean Mine-Loyinq

Capt. r. T. Spofford of Schenec-
tady, N. Y. in charge of the Won
san mine sweeping operation, said
it was a vast field of between 1000
and 5000 mines. He said there
was plenty of evidence the Rus
slams supplied the mines, mine
laying equipment and supervision
The Russians do not have all
the, types of mines we do, but they
have progressed in the science of
mining as far as the United
States or Germany" he said. And
We progressed so far that we
paralyzed traffic on the Japanese
inland sea during World War IL
Admiral Smith commented:
The citizens of the United
States only own 2 per cent of the
earth's surface. But they can
control IS per cent of it, if nee
essary, with a balanced Navy
and that means mine craft.
"OtherWlSe, the SovletS defen-
sively can hold us up"
He said the United States had
about 500 minesWeepers in the Pa
ciflc during World War II, but
could muster only 7 for the Ko-
rean war.
1T was one of those things we
didn't have enough money for, +"
he added.

ABOARD U. S. DESTROYER
COLLETT OFF WONSAN, Korea
Oct. 23.-A 30-mile long mine
field which blocked off the East
Coast Communist port of Wonsan
was laid with Soviet mines under
Russian supervision, an American
admiral declared today.
Five Allied minesweepers have
been sunk in Korean waters.
Rear Admiral Allen E. Smith
commander of the United Nations
Blockade and Escort Force in Ko-
rea, told a news conference that
the WonSan mine field showed
such mastery Of this type of sea
warfare that
The United States must put
minesWeeping on the same prior
ity level as anti-submarine anc
carrier warfare.
The Russians apparently have
everything we have and every.
thing the Germans had in mining
techniques."
Admiral Smith, of Detroit, ad.
mitted the Korean war caught u.
halfway" between the research
stage and getting counter meas.
ures into the field.
He predicted that within one
year the United States will have
cruisers which can launch guidee
missiles at mine fields.

used mines we'll, defensively. In
the future. they can use them Of
fensively. The Russians have
proved their case as far as I am
concerned. We will not under
estimate them any more"
Capt. Spofford showed corre-
spondents a captured magnetic

as excellent.
The Wonsan minefield, he said.
was we'll planned under expert
supervision to create a fortress
and prevent troops from landing
on the beaches"
He compared the minefield with
that laid by the British to block
off the North Sea during the last
war.
"It was the first time in my
experience I have found contact
(moored and influence mines at
the same time"
The magnetic mines are so
modern that in less than go feet
of water the anti-magnetic equip
ment of American Navy ships is
Ineffective, the two naval officers
disclosed.
After two weeks of sweeping.
the WonSan area still is not open,
they said.
Capt. Spofford said the Wonsan
minefield ran 80 miles to sea. The
mines were planted properly.

Corpl. Stevens said the Ameri-
can prisoners received no medical
treatment from the Reds.
Some of the boys had maggots
in their wounds and they were
dying like flies" he said.
1t. Blalock said the American
prisoners had been in Seoul until
| the Marines landed at Inchon
September Is. Then they were
taken on the march to Pyong-
yang.
He said bitterly:
"The Reds had no consideration
or any feelings or human de-
cency. If a man was so weak he
couldn't stand up, they beat him
over the head. I guess at least a
hundred of the boys died along
the way"

They asked Capt. Shelton if he
would lead them in prayer.
The men knelt in the campfire
light and repeated the Lords
Prayer.
They told him that each day
on the long march from Seoul and
on the train ride northward they
had knelt once each day to re-
peat in unison the prayer.

Ran Into Enemy Troops.
But at each try we ran into
enemy troops and were forced
back. The first time the jeep
came over a hill and we almost
ran headon into a column of
North Koreans marching up the
road with fixed bayonets.
We raced back to Sunchon and
Gen. Allen decided to try an
other route. But as the jeep
reached a bypass, four Red SOL
diers with rifles ran across the
road in front of us. We jumped
from the jeep and the general
drew his pistol while Sergt. Dent
grabbed rife and 1t. Hodes his
tommygun.
Then Mr.. Tucker, who was un-
armed, began yelling to the SOL
diers to surrender and drop their
rifles.
His voice must have had author
ity because finally the Red soldiers
dropped their guns and came out
of the brush with their hands over
their heads and we drove back to
Sunchon with them, giving up the
idea of reporting the massacre
that night.
Yesterday morning the South
Koreans organized a task force
with troop protection to bring the
survivors of the massacre to
Pyongyang. AS the trucks passed
American troops the survivors
were showered with cigarettes,
chewing gum, and candy.
Slower to Japan in C-54.
At Pyongyang the men were
loaded into C-54 plane which
took them to Japan-and the first
safety they had known for two
months.
Corpl. Victor Stevens of Hat
tiesburg, Miss, was one of the
Americans who jumped from the
death train and escaped before
it reached the Sunchon tunnel.
He was thin and emaciated-but
in good spirits and in surprisingly
good physical condition. He had
been captured August IA at Wac
gwan on the southern front.
Stevens was with the 1st Cavalry.
They brought us to Seoul" he
said, "and they they walked 278 of
us from Seoul to Pyongyang. If
man was wounded or sick or
couldn't keep up, they shot him or
beat him to death.
I'VE tried to carry ourselves"
The soles of Corpl. Stevens
shoes were falling off when he
reached the American lines, but
CTS quickly rounded up new boots
for him and four of his mates who
had escaped with him.
Lost 40 or so Pounds.
Corpl Stevens estimated he lost
40 to SO pounds during his cap
ture, and the others with him had
lost great deal of weight.

Soviet border.
Bypassed Red troops were re-
ported operating south of cap
tured Wonsan, but air observers

Virginia Planners Ask
Gov. Battle for Money
By the Assoeioted Press

/ RICHMOND, Dec. 28.-Tho
Northern Virginia Regional Plan
ming and Economic Development
Council has asked Gov. Battle for
$4,000 in State money to help to
pay its administrative expenses.
This is the first of the regional
councils to take advantage of an
act of the 1850 General Assembly
providing for State contributions
not to exceed $4,000, with the
money to be matched by the
localities involved.
Battle said, however, he has
asked Attorney General J. Lindsay
Almond. jr., for Qualification Of
the law, which says the Governor
may make the money available
but carries no appropriation.
Primarily, the council wants the
money to work out long-range
plans from the communities point
of view on the possible dispersion
of Federal agencies outside WASH
ington. The request was made in
person by John Brookfleld, chair
man of the council, and Sidney
Kellam, Raymond Long and w. H.
Caldwell of the State Department
of Conservation and Development.
The council embraces the coun-
ties of Arlington, Fairfax, Prince
William and Loudoun, and the
cities of Alexandria, Falls Church
and Manassas.

Civil Courts Denied Power
To Interfere With Military
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Dec. 29.-Civil
courts are without power to inter-
fere with military courts in the
performance of their lawful duties,
the Fourth Circuit Court of Ap-
peals held yesterday.
The appellate court applied this
ruling in affirming the Alexandria
District Courts dismissal of
suit brought by Maj. Phillip A.
Stock, an Air Force officer.
Maj. Stock sought an injunction
to restrain the execution of a
court-martial sentence dismissing
hi mfrom the service and forfeit
ing his pay and allowances.
A 5th Air Force court-martial
at Tokyo convicted Maj. Stock on
charges of assaulting Japanese
nationals with a dangerous
weapon. The original sentence in
cluded also confinement at hard
labor for five years, but this was
eliminated in a series of reviews
by higher echelons.
Maj. Stocks petition for an in

Break Precedent, OK
Apartments in Home

The Montgomery County Board
of Zoning Appeals has granted
a zoning variance permitting
apartments in a Brookmont home,
the first such action taken in the
county.
The board ruled on the zoning
case Of Mrs. Margaret Walsh
Nagle, 6622 Broad street, after the
Montgomery Council had declined
to pass on it. This also was said
to be without precedent.
The Board of Zoning Appeals,
set up to grant certain variances
from the strict zoning law when
hardship or unusual circumstances
indicate special consideration is
warranted, allowed Mrs. Nagle to
maintain three apartments, which
she has had with county permis-
sion in her home since 1910. Her
house is in a single-family resi-
Dental area.
Noting that neighbors did not
object TO the apartments, the
board pointed out that Mrs. Nagle
bought the house and it's apart
ments Gin good faith" from the
previous owner. who had received
building permits to construct the
apartments.
