|DEFENSES IN
 SOUTH KOREA GIVEN BLAST
Bloody Losses Suffered by Reds-More Commies
 HurIing Into Fight
(By Associated Press)

 Forty thousand Communist troops hammered at the northern wall of Allied defenses in South Korea to- day in battles growing hourly in ferocity. Furious fighting wrecked the outskirts of Pohang. eastern anchor of the United Nations line. as the Reds suffered bloody losses for few yards of ground. The Reds were throwing 10000 troops at the eastern end of the Allied line in the north in an all- out bid to seize Pohang. No. 2 AL lied port.
 Another 10000 troops were blast ing at the central sector of the Allied northern wall driving down from Uihung, some 18 miles north of Taegu, rail hub which is the Allied forward base. Under an um- brella of artillery and mortar fire. the Reds dented the defense line there for about two thirds of mile.
 Power Blow Aimed
 Indications were that another 10.- GOO Red troops-the North Korean 15the Division--was edging east ward across the northern front to point where it could be plunged into either of the big battles-the Uihung drive or the Pohang assault in an attempt to ram through a decisive power blow. Collapse of tho Allied line at either point would bring the Reds flooding into Taegu.
 Terrific Fight So furious was the Pohang battle that at times both sides were coun- terattacking at the same time. The Allied troops held to the port city and roads leading westward to Tae- gu, but they had lost Kigye. nine miles northwest of Pohang, which changed hands three times in 4a hours.
 On the Naktong River at the western end of the northern front, elements of the U. s. First Cavalry Division kicked off against Reds en- trenched on a 1,700 foot hill four miles northeast of Waegwan, town 12 miles northwest of Taegu. The attack was against Reds in company strength or greater, and gained to within 200 feet of the summit of the hill in five hours. To the south on the western front, U. s. artillery blasted Red attempts to cross the Naktong River. inflicting heavy losses. sy ~s z
 Negro Troops Win 1 On the southern end of the 12O- mile battleline in South Korea, U. s. Negro troops and South Korean units threw back six determined at tacks in AS hours, although none was in great strength.

California, recently made a Ia
tional address in which he empha-
sized the benefits each individual
realizes from the tourist dollar.
Thomas illustrated his point in
this manner:
Let us say, for instance, that
q woman tourist goes into a beau
ty shop and spends 81. The owner
Ct that shop takes out his profit
and overhead, ETC., and turns over
the rest to Mary Smith, who curled
the lady's hair. That enables Mary
Smith to go to the dentist that
to the dentist for fixing her teeth.
The dentist doesn't know it is
tourist money. But. he takes his
profit from the money he got from
Mary Smith, who in turn got 1t
from the beauty parlor owner,
who got it from the tourist, and
he turns the rest over to the dem
tai supply house for materials"
Thomas points out that Den
lists and dental supply houses
would all say that they didn't prof
1t from tourist travel. Yet, think
of the dollars they get each week
from the Mary Smiths who are en-
ployed in our hotels, t~ransporta-
ton companies, cafes and other
purveyors all along the line. And
think" Mr.. Thomas says, how
they in turn pass the money on to
people with whom they deal-and
SO on through the whole circle of
business.
"The money came in as new
money" Thomas adds, land it
wouldn't be there if it weren't for
the traveller. And wherever travel
ers go, the anne process Is repeat
ed"
Records of the A. & I. Board
show that Mississippi is getting an
ever increasing share of tourist
business and many Of our satisfied

peat visits but are selling Missis-
sippi at home by word Of mouth.

this is most important. very few

NATO points out, "but the tourist

This Is even more important

broad assumption is that the
