An 9th Army spokesman said

Climax Of Offensive.
It was a dramatic climax to
Red-hunting offensive that began
January Is some IS air miles
south of the former Korean re-
public capital.
Taking ground was only Of Sec
ondary Importance. The Allies
aimed to hurt the Chinese and
Korean Reds and they did-more
than $1,000 killed, wounded or
captured.
Other armored task forces were
within 2 miles of Seoul, on the
left flank of the Sd Division. One
rammed within miles of Inehon.
Yellow Sea port for the capital,
and then withdrew to Allied lines.
United States and Puerto Rican
infantrymen moved up behind the
tanks.
The United States 25th Divi-
sion's Task Force Dolvin, punch
ing up the main road to Seoul,
sent patrols to within Ia miles
of Yongdongpo, the ancient city's
industrial suburb on the south
west banks of the curving Han.
Counterattacks Hurled Back.
Only on the right end Of the
Western sector and on the central
front were the Reds putting up
q scrap. Early morning counter
attacks in those areas were hurled
back.
1t. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
United States 9Th Army COM
mander, visited the Sd Division
front and waved on Task Force
Myers in its plunge to the Han.
Gen. Ridgway praised his soldiers
of many lands.
He expressed pleasure over the
Allied drive.
THE relative losses inflicted to
those sustained by us is a very,
very high ratio" he said. That's
what we want"
The ratio of Red losses was
figured at about 100 to ! several
days ago.
But Task Force Myers had no
chance to inf1ict losses in it's
punch to the Han. The Chinese
had either been killed already or
had fed. The task force drove to
Karang. a village on the south
bank of the stream about S miles
southeast Of Seoul.

In the arlnored column were
Puerto Ricans, American Negroes
and other attached troops. 1t

20 minutes after Gen. RidgWay
waved it ahead.
Several miles to the left of
Capt. Myers column, a column led
by 1t. Col. Tom Dolvin of Colum-
bus, Ga, shelled the ruins of
Seoul from the f1atlands directly
south of the city.
Associated Press Correspondent
Jim Becker, with the Dolvin task
force, said he could see the build
ings of suburban Yongdongpo.
Mr.. Becker said the 25th Divi-
sion outfit drove 3 miles swiftly
from its overnight position.
The advance was over NINE
infested roads but there was little
opposition except for sporadic
mortar fire.
To the west of Task Force DOL
win, a column led by Col. William
Bartlett of Washington showed
ahead without opposition.
The weather turned bitterly
cold. Snow and thick overcast
virtually ruled out ground-support
aerial operations.
In the rugged mountain coun-
try of the central front-a 30
mile battleline extending north
eastward from Yoju, above Hoeng-
song and over to a point north
of Pyongchang-United States and
South Korean troops ran into stiff
opposition.

Jigger seized her arm. Give

high. We've got that valise you
ditched; got you dead to rights"
Last-m mute passengers and
plane dispositions blafed over the
loudspeaker system. The girl said,
Il don't know what you're talking
about. And I've got to get on that
planet" She tensed, calculating
her chances.
Passers were staring; there were
Airport policemen around. The
advantages were hers, if she
seized them, and Jigger knew it.
A scream; lie glibly thrown into
the crisis of fleeting seconds and
departing plane-and he would
lose. Hysteria could win for her;
transform strangers into sympa-
thetic cavaliers. And the girl
was y resourceful actress, quite at
home in hysteria.
A flash in her eyes signalled
him. Her big bust moved with a
deep intake of breath. The scream
had begun with the thinnest blade
of sound, when he caught h her
mouth in a crushing wise.
Jigger ragged, BABY, you're
party to murder. Act up now and
it will boomerang, | promise you.
You can scream me into a jam,
but not out of your hair" He
freed her mouth; a policeman was
moving inquisitively across the
big room. He said hurriedly, Co
operate, and you get a break with
me, maybe even catch the next
plane"
He watched her weigh his offer,
then saw her expression become
resigned. Jigger took her valise.

You are sitting in a room, and
suddenly the people, . moment
the topic of conversation seem to
fall into a particular pattern. You
seem to recognize it. From be-
yond consciousness and -.eerie,
haunting sensation, a this-nas-
happened-before feeling, sweeps
over you.
The English scientists would
tell you it did happen before. You
dreamed that experience one
night, and at some later date
months or even years later
it took place exactly.
The records of parasychology
and psychic research are crammed
with stories of dreams that later
took place. in detail, in actual
events. Many have been investi-
gated and documented by careful
researchers. A rational explana-
ton seems not to be available in
every case.
The one that intrigues me is
the story allegedly proved true
of a dream two people shared
at the same time.
Two men, good friends, wer e
occupying the same cabin on an
ocean liner bound for New York.
Crossing the North Atlantic, the
ship ran into a gale so heavy the
news of it was reported in III Q
New York newspapers. One morn
ing during the voyage, one of the
men said:
Had a queer dream last night.
1t was about your wife I dream
ed she same into the cabin and
stood for a moment, staring at
you. She seemed terribly worried
didn't say anything just
looked at you and then went out !"
When the ship reached port, the
woman met her husband on TIL e
dock And asked about the storms.
She said she had read about them
and knowing his ship was caught
in them, had been extremely an
xious for his safety. She added:
I had the most vivid dream, one
night, about coming into your
cabin. You seemed to be SCUM d
asleep, storm or no storm. l sup
pose it was all because was SO
worried"
Then, oddly enough, she de-
scribed the cabin accurately, al
though she had never seen it.
Comparing notes, it developed the
two dreams occurred on the same
night or the two parts of the
same dream.
Assuming the English scientists S
theory is correct that some
dreams are "previews' of real
experiences you encounter an
interesting question:;
Is everything fixed and fore
ordained? If a dream is a glimpse
into the future, does it mean that
what you saw will surely happen
later?
Well, in some case, I'd like to
think SO. Others can be put down
to sardine sandwiches after mid
night.

The American press today is

of the fact that the Constitution

have finally met with success in

In recent years, Mr.. President,
various proposals to curb freedom
of the press have met only iso-
lated and passive resistance.
Strange to say, many American
newspapers have been apathetic
toward attempts to undermine the
First Amendment of the Constitu-
ton. This dangerous complacency
may be explained by the fact that
freedom of the press is generally
regarded as an immutable rule
of law, at least in non-Communist
countries. In my judgment, how
ever, freedom of the press, even
outside the Iron Curtain. h S

1t should not be necessary for
me to remind the Senate of h e
United States and the American
people Of the Importance of free
dom of the press. No form of to-
falitarianism can tolerate a FIR e e
press. In the perpetuation of alb
solutc political power, it is nee
essary that the press be control
led. History should have taught
us many times that a dictator who
wishes to consolidate his power
must seize control of all media
for the communication of facts
and ideas. The world has witness
cd the suppression of many in
dependent newspapers and radios
in the past 20 years as countries
have fallen either to communism
or to some native brand of tyran-
ny. AS the power of government
increases it becomes correspond
ingly more vulnerable to attack
and increasingly sensitive to criti.
Cism.
If a potential dictator were
given the right to infringe upor
only one of the unalienable rights
of man, it is likely that he would
