Students S Letter Asks
Truman: Will MyLife
Be Wasted in Korea!
BY the Associated Press

NEWTON, Mass, Dec. IA
Harvard student who expects to
be drafted next year has written
President Truman, noting that a
brother-i -in-law died in Korea and
asking, If I am called to service
will my devotion, and perhaps life,
be wasted, too?"
Paul K. Mcdonald, 10, of New
ton. wrote the President he was
anxious to serve my country
but am not anxious to die for the
sake of dying"
Young Mcdonald, whose father,
Irving G. Mcdonald, is a news
analyst for Radio Station WEEI,
IN Boston. made his letter public
without waiting for a reply from
the White House.
Just 'as man can betray his
nation by failing to serve her in
time of need" he wrote, 80 can
a nation betray a man by depriv-
Ing his death of its purpose. I
would hate to believe that we who
serve America are being betrayed
While We serve. Yet I cannot see
any alternative"
He asked the President to show
me the truth of the matter
so that I and others like me can
=. serve our country with the
conviction that our sacrifice will
not be in vain"
At Key West, Irving Perlmeter
assistant White House press sec
retary, said President Truman had
not received a letter from Young
Mcdonald and Mr.. Perlmeter had
no comment on it.
The White House usually does
not reply to letters made public
before they reach the President.
Young Mcdonald said he was
prompted to write because of the
death in Korea Is months ago of
Dwight Hewitt. an Army infantry
man whose sister is the wife OF
McDonald's brother.
Paul said Hewitt and other
American casualties seem to have
been deprived of vindication by
their own leaders who forbade
them to fight to the fullest Of
their capacity"

On the Offensive
In Koreu Now

Korean refugees say they
believe the enemy really is re-

were going north behind the
advancing American divisions
and some were even ahead Of
the advance elements. They
seem to have an intelligence
system all their own, a Colonel
said, and sometimes it is a lot
better than ours.
Dispatches emphasize that
American and Allied forces
converging on Seoul were
moving with the utmost eau
ton through the mountains
against the, so far, light and
scattered, resistance. Troops
were literally beating the
bushes" as they advanced, as
they have no intention of be-
ing pulled out of position as
they were two months ago in

pounded Inchon while a party
Of bold South Koreans went
