Writes Home

The following letter written by
r.. Heard, R-n-347-57-10, son of
Mrs. T. W. Heard of Tchula gives
some general information of the
Nays part and accomplishment
in the Korean Situation:
Dear Polly:
We're up here at Wonsan now,
Smelling different points around
the harbor. For a week we were
just patrolling back and forth be-
tween Kangnung and Chumun-
jim. AT night we'd usually get
some targets from the army spot
tiers on shore, but it was still
pretty monotonous. Then we got
orders to come up here. Was that
a change! In our first hour and
and a half, we cut loose with
276 shells and blistered the paint
right off the gun barrels on our
forward mount.
| You can have that patrolling
duty, but l guess it does serve a
! purpose. At least the Reds have
never been able to make another
landing behind our lines like that
! one at Samchok just after the
war started. We've got all their
shipping lanes across the Yellow
Sea cut off too. We even stop
any suspicious looking junks to
make sure they're not trying to
carry in supplies that way. They
still have. some highways and
railroads inland but the planes
from our carriers and the Air
Force r keeping those pinned
down.
The ones near the coast we can
get ourselves. Most of the time
that's what we're Smelling. We've
got ships strung around the Pc
ninsula now for the blockade and
they check both coasts, too. Tru-
man said our blockade was a hun
dred per cent effective and it

OF our ability to draw on the ia

Telephone System with it's stan

terials."
Prior to 1910, Vests only tele-
phone service was by means of
two OF three toll stations connect
ed with the Durant exchange. Dur
ing 1910, service was extended
from Durant to approximately 35
subscribers in the West area, and
another 80 subscribers received
telephones in 1919. All of these
facilities were destroyed by the
ice storm.

replaces these facilities is n of

WEST. - This community has
just received modern dial tele-
phone service, thereby Joining the
growing list of rural Mississippi
communities where telephone ia
cilities have been extended and
improved by the Southern Bell

pany.
Those taking part in the pro-
gram celebrating the event are
pictured above. The Lions Club
of West sponsored the celebration
and w. l.. Campbell, the clubs
president, delivered the address of
welcome. Aubrey Bell, City Attor-
ney of Greenwood, responded. The
invocation was pronounced by Rev.
Tom @. Johnston, Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, and Mayor
A. J. Stevens of West was Master
of Ceremonies.
The switch signalling the open
ing of service through the e dial
exchange was thrown by two of
Vests oldest citizens-Dr. j. s..
Rosamond and DR.. w. G.. Brock.
The first long distance call was
placed by j. r. Bowie of West to

Eakin said.
A graduate of Friar's Point High
school, Eakin entered the service
in 1895 and was assigned to the
33rd Infantry Regiment in Pana-
ma. In 1912 he attended the Quar-
termaster Officers Candidate
School at Fort Lee, Va, and upor
gradL alton was assigned to Camp
Conley, Va.
His next assignment was the
Delta Service Command in Egypt
where he served for three ano
one-half years in Middle East
countries.
He returned to the u. S. in 194s
and served at the Memphis Gen.
eral Depot before taking an ad-
vanccd course in quartermastel
supply and administration at For,
Lee.
When the 3rd Division was re-
sctivated in 1913 at Fort Ben
ming, Ga, Capt. Eakin was as
signed as personnel officer of Di-
vision Artillery Headquarters.
After joining the Third, Eakin
took part in Operation Portrex in
1850, an amphibious operation
that included $4,000 soldiers, sail
ors and airmen, before the Third
entered the Korean conflict where
it has been in action the last five
months.

Serves In Korea
Captain Terry w. Eakin, hus-
band of the former Frances
Wynne of Memphis, and son of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Eakin of Lex
fngton, is assistant personnel of
ficer of the 3rd Infantry Division
IN Korea.
He sailed with the 3rd Divi-
sion to the Far East command in
August last year. While the divi-
sion was briefly in Japan, he was
assigned to personnel administra-
ton, which directly affects troop
morale, always an important fac
for with fighting men.
The problem of. assigning men
in positions most suitable to their
talents, comes under the super
wision of the Division GIL sec
ton and Captain Eakin does his
best to assure each individual of
their future.
Another job of the GIL section
is supervision of civilian affairs.

A Time For Reflection


1t would be we'll if there could be at least a 4s-hour
moratorium on public statements incident to the Mac
Arthur controversy-a period that could be devoted to
serious study and reflection by everyone concerned
This country is at war, and let's not forget it.
That is grave and awful business.
The present is not a time for hysteria, smear cam
paigns or personal recrimination.
Gen. Macarthur has stated his case, and he did it
with dignity and restraint, abusing no one. The questions
he raised are not issues in a political campaign but matters
of vital concern to the American people. They should be re-
garded in that highland not as an attack on the Demo
Gratis or as political ammunition for the Republicans.
President Truman has been temperate in what he has
had to say on the subject, and his side of the controversy
deserves thoughtful consideration.
The overriding question with which we are concern
ed is Communist aggresson-and wheather the measures
have adopted are adequate to meet the challenge. This de-
mands a searching examination of the American position
I'm all parts of the world, by the appropriate committees of
Congress.
The immediate problem is how best to handle the war
in Korea, and then how to prepare against the larger war
which threatens.
Quickening events on the Korean front may decide
the issue there. Bullets speak louder than words, and bull
lets may determine whether the advocates. of Limited war
were right or wrong. Meanwhile there must be no lag in the
preparations to meet a bigger war.
Those who saw we will be ready to meet a Soviet at
tack by 1853 offer small comfort in face of the possibility
that it may come sooner than that. Instead of talking IN
terms of 1863, or even 1862, we should be asking ourselves
how much more can we do right now, and during the re-
mainder Of 1851.
Ger. Macarthur knows war as few Americans do. HIS
views can be of great service to his country in this emer-
csncy. If the Democrats and Republicans will forget their
differences long enough to hear him out. Our other military
leaders also should be heard, particularly those VINO Know
Asia and the Pacific area. But the emphasis throughout
should be on the immediate situation and the war which
may come-not on past mistakes which cannot be recalled.
Asia has been the neglected front, to be sure. But
xvhat can be done now to make the best of a bad situation!
What areas can be saved that are vital to American
security. either because of their geographic position or
their natural resources? What manpower is available TO
support an anti position? Would our resources
be spread too thin by attempting to defend both oceans?
Or is such thinking a halfway retreat to pre-1941 isolation
ism?
These are among the questions to be examined, in
the search for a balanced, adequate defense program. What
has been done belongs to history.
