China Reds Intelligence Poor,
General oIWho EIuded Them SAYS

After IL nightmarish days in
which they suffered heavy casu-
alties, the Marines finally escaped
the Chinese trap-as a division
on December TO- The enemy had
been badly mauled.
1--WE did some praying at Yu-
dam," the general said, "but once
we got out of there we felt we
were in. When we reached Koto
there was no question in our
minds whatever"
The general also stated that
peril was increased by fearful
weather conditions and an awk-
ward supply problem. Frostbite
took a heavy toll of Marines, the
roads were covered with ice and
supplies had to be airlifted. For
these reasons. he said, the break
out from the Changjin reservoir
was unique in Marine history"
Gen. Smith estimated enemy
casualties at 10 time thoes of the
Marines and added: THE only
advantage they have on Gods
green earth is numbers. If we
had not been forced to pull back
we could have cut them down
still more"
Asked about the present morale
of his troops, the general COM
mented "it's pretty high. The men
are resting and are surprisingly
fit"
But they're still mad.' he con-
tinued, they don't like being
pushed around. I still don't know
what we will be called on to do
next but I'll tell you this, they
won't be pushed around by Chi
nese, North Koreans or any one
else"
