had always longed to be.
Over his head the trapeze perform
ers were doing daring things on
swings and wire ropes. Soon the
elephants marched into the rings
and Jocko was so excited at seeing
them so close that he forgot to be
careful and almost got stepped on.
When one big elephant knelt to
take bow near him, Jocko quickly
scurried up his leg and onto his
back, right where he had often inn
agined himself to be.
The elephant twitched his ear,
when Jocko leaned over and whis-
pered to him. Please let me ride
once around the ring with you. I've
never been on an elephants back

muttered the elephant, I'VE ele-

Ou, no, III monkey, explained
Jocko. Then he told the elephant his
story.
When he finished. the elephant
said, well, you poor little monkey.
You just stay right there on my
head. and I'll take care of you. No
one can ever see you if you hide
down behind my ear. You can stay
there as long as you want" So Jocko
stayed, and for all I know, he may
still be riding the elephant. Look
closely next time you go to the
Circus. You might see him!

Raps Commissioners
For Flood Problem

The District Commissioners
we're condemned by the Arkansas
Avenue Community Association
last night for "wanton and reck-
less disregard" in failing to pro-
vide an adequate storm sewerage
system in the associations area.
L. Seth Schnitman. chairman
Iof the groups sewer and flood
control committee, said the area
bounded by Georgia avenue and
Shepherd. Sixteenth and Ingra-
ham streets NV. has been flood
led steadily because the District
Commissioners allowed an made
iquate storm sewerage system to
exist for years.
He declared the commissioners
had authority in the 1851 budget
Ito spend $500,000 on new sewers
and that they did not use the
money except in a "piecemeal"
fashion for the associations area.
To the suggestion that the Ian
guage of the motion was "a little
severe" P. H. Delaplaine. vice
chairman Of the Flood Control
Committee said nonsense. He
recalled that the small park To-
Gated within the flood area, in
which the group held a picnic on

cred by 4 feet of water from

He contended that, If the flood
had occurred at the time of the

would have been in danger.

ceriIing Spain.
An Embassy spokesman said

After they had travelled 5 miles

WESTERN FRONT. Korea,
April 27. ~The chaps were ap-
solutely magnificent.
A slim British captain, bespec-
tacled M. G. Nike Harvey. thus
proudly hailed the remnants Of
his company. He had led them
north to escape capture by the
Chinese. then brought them back
south Is miles to Allied lines.
The survivors (number deleted1
are all that are left of the 1st
Battalion of the Royal Glouces-
|tershire Regiment. Their losses
were nearly half of the casualties
(number deleted) suffered by the
29th Commonwealth Brigade in
three days of attempting to stem
the big Red offensive.
The men of the Goth Brigade
had taken terrific punishment.
But they had inflicted an esti-
mated 10 to 90 casualties for
every man of their own unit
killed or wounded.
Five of the Is miles were COW
cred in 80 minutes of walking,
running and even crawling down
rock-studded hillsides. The last
10 miles were a wild dash on
United States tanks which the
little company had met on its
flight.
The British infantrymen were
under almost constant enemy fire
during that 10-mile ride. Some
were wounded and were held on
by their comrades. Others, fell
off the tanks and had to run
madly to catch up.
Hit by 10000 Reds.
A brigade officer said that be-
tween 10000 and 10000 Chinese
struck the brigade front at the
start of the offensive.
"It was just a simple case of
too many of the blighters for us
to handle. The overwhelming
weight Of the Chinese forces
pushed the main body of the
brigade back as the Gloucesters
were cut off.
There were some nasty scenes
up there. I saw a column of our
tanks coming back, carrying piles
of dead and wounded with the
blood running down the side of
the tanks.
The Gloucesters' regimental log
carried this notation In the writ
ing of Brig. Gen. Thomas Brodie,
brigade commander:
"Only the Gloucesters could
have done it."

Beaten OF for 3 Days.
The plight of the Gloucesters
began with the start of the
Chinese offensive. A large enemy
force whipped through the Allied
lines and surrounded the British
positions. For three days attack
ling Chinese were beaten of, but
the Gloucesters took heavy cas-
ualties in return.
An arnnored column was sent
|out but failed to break through
and relieve the hard-pressed bat
talon.
The commanding officer of the
Gloucester D Company, Mai. w.
j. Wood Of Exeter. on rest leave
in Tokyo, took the first plane
back to Korea. He joined the
armored column but was unable
to reach his men.
On Wednesday, three days
after the start of the Chinese
offensive, all survivors of the bat
talon were gathered together on
a hill. They were told they
would make a last ditch stand
there if necessary.
Time after time the Chinese
charged down the road toward
the ridge where the GloucestersI
were dug In. Each time the
battalion commanding officer, Col.
Fred Kahn. would call in Allied
artillery and break up the attack.
'The gunners were wonderful, y
said Capt. Harvey. "All we had to
do was give them a target loca-
ton and they would blast the
Chinese within a moment of our
CALL"
Capt. Harvey took sthe men left
in his company and headed north
while the other survivors of the
battalion started toward the Al-|
lied lines to the south. (This|
dispatch did not say what hap
pened to the latter group.)
Capt. Harvey told his men hisI
plans. There were many Chinesel

was led by I'd 1t. David Holds
