Red attacks in the 25-degrees-
below-zero cold on the middle and
both f1anks of their 15-mile horse
shoe-shaped front just south of
Wonju.
Then the Allies counterattacked
and by dusk had reconquered Hill
247 on the northeast angle of
their front about mile and half
below Wonju.
Abandoned Hill Thursday.
They had been forced to aban-
don the hill - named from its
height in meters on Thursday
night, then drove the North
Koreans off it Friday, but lost it
again Friday night.
Yesterdays successful recovery
was aided by 80 fighter and
bomber planes. which pounded
the Reds for eight hours prior
to the I'd Division charge.
Associated Press War Corre-
spondent William c. Barnard,
covering the flaming action, said
I'd Division spokesman esti-
mated the enemy suffered 3,l00
dead in 48 hours.
Three hundred and fifty of
these were piled in front of the
Allied perimeter after one of the
banzai-style Red attacks yester-
day morning.
Sixth Day of Battle.
Today was the sixth day of the
battle for two vital passes leading
to the main route from the south
east port of Pusan to Taegu and
Taejon. The United States 8th
Army moved down that route from
abandoned Seoul.
The battle may prove to be one
of the key actions in the 9th
Army's withdrawal from the north.
Between 5000 and 10000 Reds
hit the horseshoe front from
tnree SlQeS yesterday.
Each attack came in greater
intensity, but the doughboys stood
firm. BY noon the assaults
stopped as abruptly as they had
begun.
Also in the line with the I'd
Division was the South Korean
9th Division. There was no word
as to whether it took part in the
counterthrust.
The End Divisions main spear
head remained from one and q
half to two miles south of Wonju.
No ground was lost to the Red at.
tacks yesterday.
Battle in 80 Below Zero.
A division spokesman said the
Reds evidently had pulled back
into small villages south of Wonju
to regroup and find shelter against
the biting cold.
The bloody fighting was in
weather as cold as any expert
enced on the bleak Changjin.
Hungnam front in North Korea.
Korean Reds opened the assault
before dawn with two small
banzai attacks on the End Divi-
Sion's center. BY noon they had
hurled up to 10000 troops against
the arcing Allied salient just
south of burned-out Wonju.
AS the Koreans struck the
northernmost U. N. position in
Korea other Korean and Chinese
Communist forces swept around
Wonju in the strength of two di-
visions in a wide enveloping
movement. Already some were
cutting in behind the hard

A NEW ERA IN "EDUCATION"
I'm the Williamson Enterprise)

AS of right now, a new era is
beginning in the history of "edu-
cation" in Martin County. Well
go along with it, reserving the
strong hope that the little vestige
of fundamental education will not
be wiped out in the mad rush.
Heretofore, duly constituted ed
ucation authorities, more or less,
held their hands off gymnasiums.
The die has been cast, looking to-
ward brick buildings with modern
heating facilities and furnishings.
Brand US as old-timer or just
an old fogey, if you will, but our
modern educational system is top
heavy and athletics and educa-
ton is suffering and suffering bad
ly. Staring us in the face right
now are the word "cabin," spelled
"caban" by a high school senior,
and a report, showing a grade of
35 made by a college graduate on
an examination given by a gov
ernmental agency. They are iso-
lated cases, to be sure, but that
is what we may expect when ed
ucation is made secondary in the

COLISEUM A MONUMENT TO
THINGS BETTER FORGOTTEN
THAN RECALLED
I'm the Raleigh Times)

Despite the Korean War, de-
spite menacing economic pic
ture and despite some fancy foot
work by a group of State officials
just prior to the opening of the
1851 General Assembly, North
Carolina may get a million-dollar
livestock judging arena whether
it wants it or not.
1t is the opinion of the Raleigh
Times that the best interests of
North Carolina would be served by
an order from the Nations Capt.
tai delaying the start of the State
Fairgrounds Coliseum until a
more appropriate time.
The approval by both houses of
the Assembly of a committee re-
port which found little fault with
the building during a national
emergency of a highly non-essen-
tial and extremely costly edifce
for the judging of livestock-this
is an unfortunate end to a mat
ter which had an unfortunate be-
ginning.
1t must be said of those State
officials who decided it wise to ap-
prove the contract for the coli
scum just hours before the Legis-
lature began it's 1851 sessions
that:
They knew what they want
ed; 2-They were determined to
get it regardless; and 3-They
were clever enough to grab it be-
fore the people of North Caro-
lima said 'No, let's wait a Bit"
There are other aspects of the
coliseum controversy which make
this unhappy affair even worse.
For example, there are the Sec
ret sessions which the committee
: co-chairmaned by Senator
James H. Pou Bailey of Wake
held behind closed doors. There
also is the questionable figure of
from 100000 to $3.50, 900 given as
the cost to North Carolina of get
ting out of its contract commit
ment-a figure which still has not
been documented. Also, there is
the tongue lashing which the Gov
ernor of North Carolina dealt a
freshman representative from
Wake County simply because the
latter had the courage to disagree
with His Excellency.
If the State Fairgrounds Coli
scum is finished as now scheduled
1t will constitute in part a monu-
ment to matters which a lot of
North Carolinians will like to for
get.
