Korean War News

EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUART.
Frs, Korea, Jan. II (INS)- The
Pyongyang radio claimed tonight
that Communist amphibious forces
recaptured two islands off Korea's
west coast.
The broadcast named the islands
as Changlinto and Oahwako near
the southern part of the Ongjin
Peninsula in the vicinity of the
38th parallel.
The claim was aired as fighting
along Korea's frozen front was
stepped up in the western and
eastern sectors.
In the west a strong United
Nations raiding force tangled with
grenade-h urling Chinese Reds
Wednesday in a fierce nine-hour
battle northwest of Yonchon.
In the east, Allied soldiers again
were in possession of startegic
"Christmas Hill" after retaking
the height from Chinese troops
who had seized it early Wednes-
day. The hill has changed hands a
half dozen times since Christmas
when the Reds captured it.
Meanwhile, a relative lull de-
veloped in the western front Sa-
siri Bulge sector for the first TIME
in more than a week of heavy
fighting west of Korango. The
Chinese were in possession of the
key heights in that area.
The Eighth Army announced
that it's international groundforces
had inflicted an estimated 5,879
casualties along the 145-mile front
during the first week of the New
Year. Of these, 3,343 were estimat-

captured.
Nearly half Of these enemy cas-
ualties were credited to the First
Republic of Korea (ROK) division
in the SasiriBulge battle which be-
gan DECEMBER 20 when the Chin
csc threw the ROKS off three hills.
the ROKS claimed 2,249 Red
casualties in the first week of 49,
81.
The battle northwest of Yon-
chon began when an Allied chit
run" patrol struck at a Chinese
held hill before dawn Wednesday.
The Chinese threw back the raid
T with hand grenades and heavy
showers of machine gun and au-
tonic weapons fire.
An hour later, the Allies hit
again and advanced a third Of the
way up the elevation before heavy
Communist fire once more forced
them back.
Allied land-based and carrier
borne planes, meanwhile, braved
a dense overcast to strike anew at
enemy front line forces and rear
supply targets.
In the hours of darkness before
Thursdays dawn, BIG light bomb
ers dumped tons of explosives on
the Sariwon airfield in northwest
Korea, a rail bridge near Song

ests Of a man whose money we

The Federal Hatch Act is sup
posed to restrict the annual
expenditures ofaparty's national
committee to 5000. 900. This
sounds effective, but each major
party has evaded the act simply
by organizing satellite commit
tees with high-sounding names.
Through these subordinate
groups the parties spend as much
as they can collect.
Somewhere along the line, con-
tributors will talk bluntly to
party henchmen. A paper mill
may hope to continue to dump
chemical wastes in a navigable
river where people swim and fish
or even get their drinking sup

stall any Federal discussion of

eventually must be fulfilled.
Hatch Act Pals
lHE Hatch Act limits" a citi-
zen to 5000 in campaign con-
tributions to any committee or
candidate during a year. This is
avoided by a number of easy
devices. After all. a baby quail
ifies as an individual. Infants in
families have been known to
make 5000 campaign donations
before they left the bassinet. And
the many separate committees
with high-fown titles, such as
War Veterans for Black or Busi-
ness Men Behind White, always
have been useful channels for
receiving numerous different
5000 gatuities from the same
person or family.
And if the Hatch Act has
failed completely to control polit-
ical donations by millionaires,
the Smith ConnaIly Bill of 1943
has failed equally toprevent elec-
ton spending by labor unions.
This act branded it against the
law for 'any labor organization
