call of Pills. R. c.. Scott and G. H.
Thurman, from being scalped by
an angry housewife when they
had been dispatched to answer a
call to a disturbance at the home
of Mrs. Henry H. McGhee, 613 S.
Summit street who, at the time of
the arrival of the police officers,
was in the heat of a battle with
another woman identified as Vir-
ginia Flacks. According to the po-
lice, Mrs. McGhee was armed with
a meat cleaver and was in the act
ofthrowing it at her husband when
Scott and Thurman disarmed her,
but that was not the end of the
battle by any means. Mrs. McGhee
flew into the officers and
plastered them with rights and
lefts to the body and face. She
was taken to the central police
station and is being held for as
sault and battery.

TOKYO (ANP)- The all-Ne-
gro Infantry of the 25th Division
was forced to withdraw into the
mountain ridges above the city of
Yongdong, after putting up a.
stubborn battle against heavy
odds, it was announced at advanc-
ed U. S. Army headquarters in
Korea last Friday.
The oath withstood a continuous
heavy artillery attack for two days
before withdrawing to better de-
tense positions.
"They were throwing everything
at u.s." said Sgt. Joseph Simmons,
%, of New York, Including NOR
tars and white PHOSPHORUS which
set our positions on fire.
"Our boys did fine" said 1t.

"There were just too many of
them and we had to withdraw.
But | can tell you one thing" he
continued, "there are lots fewer
North Koreans today than there
yesterday"
1t took four hours to mount the
jagged 1,300-foot ridges, which
gave them some protection from
the advancing North Koreans.

Wilson, assistant commander of
the 18th Division.
"They put up a good show" he
commented.
Here is how Sgt. Lawrence Pat
terson viewed the action:
II felt l was playing ring-around-
the-rosy up there with my mach
inc guns. First we would get a
report that troops were coming up
on the right flank, and 1 would
scurry to defend that position.
Seconds later, we would be told
to watch the left flank, and then
we'd try to pepper that area with
bullets.
"And finally, they started
charging us from all sections. We
didn't have enough Of anything to
handle them," he unused.
Another Chicagoan, Cpl. An
drew Jackson, commented that
the North Koreans missed a lot,
but there were just too many of
them for us to stop"
AT this writing the oath infan-
try is preparing to meet what may
turn out to be the stoutest engage
ment of their lives.
North Korean forces, in a
four-pronged drive towards the
biggest U. S. supply base at Pu-
san, attempted to cut off the en-
tire 25th Division, and force it in
to a whitening rear-guard retreat.
