Shotgun Blast Kills
D. {. Man in House
Owned by Mother

A 44-year-old Washington car
penter was killed early yesterday
by a shotgun blast as he entered a
house owned by his mother in
Henrico County, near Richmond,
Va.
County Police Chief w. j. He'd
rick identified the victim as Frank
s. Topper, 1900 block Of Wisconsin
avenue NV. He said James c.
Brown, 36, who rented the house,
has been charged with murder.
According to the police chief,
Brown said he heard someone
trying to enter the house shortly
after midnight and got his shot
gun.
He repeatedly asked for iden-
tif1cation and when no answer
came, he fired the .12-gauge weap-
on to scare" the intruder, he
told Chief Hedrick.
The balst struck Mr.. Topper in
the abdomen. He died about half
an hour later as Brown was TAX
ing him to the hospital. Brown
then notified police.
Brown and his wife had moved
into the six-room house in the
last week. Chief Hedrick said Mr..
Tepper's mother, Mrs. Martin
Topper, who lives in Washington,
rented out four of the rooms and
kept two for furniture storage.
He added Mr.. Topper had a key
to the house and had been notified
it was being occupied by the
Brown family.
Other survivors are three sis
ters, Mrs. Mary Ann Stubon, Mrs
Helen Toskowich and Mrs. Ver-
non Yarbrough; and four brothers,
Martin S., of Alexandria, and
Henry c., Roy T. and John Tep-
per.

Even some of the highest Of
ficials at the Pentagon are re-
luctant to make any predictions
as to whether United Nations
forces can retain a foothold in
Korea.
AS one top official said yester-
day: Il can only say that we
will try"
Many of the officials who thus
express themselves are the ones
who never vavered in their opti-
mism when U. N. forces were hold
ing tenaciously to the Pusan
beachhead last year and some
members of Congress were saying
that they would be pushed into
the sea within hours or days.
Chinese Hold Answer.
Then, there were only the Ko-
rean Red invaders in South Ko-
rea and more American men and
equipment were on the way. Now,
hordes of Chinese face the U. N.
troops and. officials here indicate,
the ultimate outcome may very
well be in their hands.
The situation of the U. N.
troops is like that of man try
ing to stop the swarming advance
of a multitude of ants. He has
killed thousands-and they still
keep coming. No matter how
many he crushes there are tens
of thousands to replace them.
The war in Korea now. said one
official yesterday, is style
battle. The Chinese, battle wise by
long experience in fighting the
Nationalists, shun conventional
maneuvers.
Do Not Follow Roads.
They do not follow the roads,
the easy targets of U. N. planes.
They inf1ltrate through the coun-
tryside, keeping in the cover of
underbrush and forest where pos
sible, wear the white camouf1age
of winter, move at night, come
swarming over the hilltops by day.
Theirs is the most primitive and
simplest logistic problem, but also
because of it their attacks are
short, though fierce. A Chinese
soldier carries with him some 1870
pounds of supplies, including IL
pounds of rice. When those sup
plies are used up he stands by
while another division rolls past
to hit U. N. troops.
This sort of hedge hopping ar
rangement brings about large cas-
ualties but the Reds have shown
no worry about them. After one
recent attack on a U. N. command
post by a Red force of battalion
strength was repulsed, 1900 enemy
dead were counted. This was 80
per cent of the force.
BY pulling the U. N. forces back
to a relatively small defense peri
meter, it is pointed out here, the
Red inf1ltration tactics will become
less bothersome. And there is

Non-MiIitory Men Reluctant
To Predict Outcome in Korea

Isome feeling among the military
that, if Korea is to be re-invaded,
it would be less costly to hold
around Pusan than to attempt a
landing after an evacuation.
1t was also disclosed that the
flow of American troops to Korea
was continuing, although units
currently being sent there are less
than division or regimental COM
bat team $1,000 mem size. Sup
porting, engineer and artillery
units are said to be arriving on
the peninsula.
South Koreans who were taken
into the under strength American
divisions initially to bring them up
to full strength now are being re-
leased as American replacements
arrive. These South Koreans
whom Defense Secretary Marshall
recently praised highly, now are
we'll trained and seasoned and can
form the nucleus of an even
stronger Republic of Korea army
and bolster battered existing divi-
sions.
While there was confusion, even
in top military levels here, about
first conflicting reports last fall
relative to Chinese Communist
strength and intentions, these
officials say that they feel that
the figures now are reasonably
accurate.
The reports can now be based
in part on actual battle intelli-
gence, U. N. patrols take prisoners.
question them, study the papers
and insignia Of enemy dead. Be-
fore the Chinese moved across the
Yalu River from Manchuria, esti-
mates had to be based on much
less direct intelligence.
Currently the armed forces esti-
mate there are 100000 Reds in
Korea, 100000 of them Chinese.
1t is estimated that there are
400, 900 enemy troops at or near
the front lines.

Corner
On nCOins
By Ted Hummer

kibrorion, American kumismotie Association
Many people of college age to-
day have never handled or seen
gold coins. yet they were minted
until 1888. When the United
States went off the gold stand
ard, all gold coins were called in,
although this order was later
modified.
Because Of the size of the in
vestment required, many collectors
have no gold, or are content with
type sets" or one coin of each
denomination from 81 to $40.
They may even include 35- cent
and 50-cent pieces issued in Cali
fornia during and following the
gold rush era.
There are grandparents who do
not even realize that gold dollars
were issued, and many others
never saw one. They were minted
from 1849 to 1889 and were struck
in large quantities in most years.
The size-but not the weight
was changed in 1854, when the
coin was made slightly larger but
thinner.
Other denominations were the
$3.50 piece, 1796-1929; SO. 1854
1889; $5, 1795-1929; $40. 1885,
1888; and the $40, coined from
1850 to 1882. (Although some
pieces were minted in 1888, they
are quite rareo
Years ago, more men carried
purses and gold pieces weren't as
easily lost or handed out for silver
as might be imagined. The $40
gold piece became known as an
"eagic." thus $40 was called a
double eagle, the SIS half eagle
and the $3.50 a quarter eagle.
The executive order against
boarding gold permitted collectors
to possess and acquire gold pieces
"having a recognized special value
to collectors of rare and unusual
gold"

troops are driving them into the
southeast corner of the peninsula
And the bleak bloody story of Ko-
rea is approaching an end.
These are the hard facts of a
situation now clouded in censor
ship.
Many military men in Korea
and most war correspondents who
have followed the Army for the
past five months look on an evac-
uation as inevitable.
1t is surprising to one just re-
turned from Korea to find a great
debate in Washington over
whether we should or should not
stay in Korea. The Defense De-
partment says no policy has been
changed and that the Army in
tends to stay.
Already Far Outnumbered.
This debate is academic. The
only question is whether we can
hang on even if we want to. 1t
is as tragically simple as that.
The Communists outnumber
the United Nations forces pos
sibly up to five to one.
The Reds are in position to
increase these odds against the
9th Army almost at will with mil
lions of manpower in Manchuria
and in China.
The Chinese have made it
abundantly clear since they en-
tered the Korean conflict that
they intend to drive the U. N.
forces out of Korea.
One American officer said to me
recently: Now it's a question of
saving face or saving our hides
and we'd better save our hides.
Well need 'em in the future
against these people"
He meant the military necessity
of saving the United Nations
army from destruction far out
weighed the political considera-
tlonS involved.
Anzio Action Recalled.
Some offcers-Army, Navy and
Air Force-believe the U. N. forces
can pull back into tight perrin
eter around Pusan and hold out
indefinitely. They reason the AL
lies could lay down such a curtain
of naval, artillery and aerial bonn
bardment that it would be impos-
sible for the Reds to drive us from
the beachhead. They point to the
Anzio beachhead which the Allies
held against waves of German
attacks to back up their argu-
ment.
But other military men-and I
am sure they are in the major
tty-reason this way:
Korea is not the place for the
United States and her Allies to
make major war effort against
Communism. Even if we could
hold a beachhead. which is doubt
full, then the Allies merely would
be trading manpower with the
Reds-pouring more troops into a
fight already lost.
I'VE could kill seven, eight or
10 to one and still not come out
ahead" one officer said. 1--WE just
can't fight these people on man
power basis because there are too
many of them"
Another officer said: We've got
to remember this Army is the only
one we've got-and it knows how
to fight the Reds. We've learned
the hard way. But we've learned
some valuable lessons. And this
Army must be the core of the new
Army we are going to build. We
can't afford to lose it,"
Fighting WeIl-Trained Foe.
These views are typical of the
thinking of many people in Korea
from command positions down
into the combat units.
Out of the Korean nightmare
have come some valuable lessons
of war that may be the salvation
