CHESAPEAKE BEACH, Md,
July 4.-ThousandS of Washing
ton residents are enjoying an
old-fashioned Fourth of July
here at this old-fashioned sum-
mer resort.
Fiye-dollar skyrockets flash
their amazing pyrotechnical
bursts of glory over the bay after
day of picnickitlg and bingo.
This report that the picnic
tables are still in sthe oak grove
beside the bay probably will
cause nostalgia on the part of
many middle-aged readers.
They will remember the days
of early Sunday rising, when the
whole family effort was con-
centrated on getting streetcar
that would get to the District
Line station or Chesapeake juno
ton as the railroad station at
Seat Pleasant was variously
called.
WhOpping Picnic Basket.
Mother packed a picnic bas-
ket and it was a Whopper, big
enough for lunch and supper for
the entire family. Once they
caught one of the excursion
trains of the Chesapeake Beach
Railway, the going was pretty
good.
The train, even with the added
weight of a few extra coaches
borrowed from the Baltimore &
Ohio for the holiday crowds. used
to do the 80 miles to the beach
in less than an hour. The fare
was IS cents round trip.
It was on arrival at the beach
that the teen-age boys were put
on their mettle to make good
for their families. They would
grab a tablecloth as the train
stopped and race to get a picnic
table.
After lunch the boys and girls
would grab crab nets and lines
and go out on the pier. You
could get your crabs steamed
right away on the pier by pay
| ing a quarter or 35 cents, nc
vinegar or pepper, or bring them
home alive in a burlap bag.
Then back to supper at the
picnic tables and a race fol
seats when the old cindel
| burner came in.

May Have Cost Ground.
These expert observers who
witnessed the bloody battling
think that fierce South Korean
pride caused excessive casualties
on the east central front in
June-and may have been re-
sponsible for loss of ground that
could have been held.
In one case a large United
States mortar unit was support
ing a Korean division on the
crumbling front nearly three
weeks ago. The unit was firing
from behind the main Allied line
when the Chinese oVerran it
without warning.
No Koreans had alerted the
American mortarmen to pull
back. It should have been nor

This was the first time since
the spring of 1851 that such
large United Nations unit had
been overrun behind the main
line.
Observers tabled these weak

South Korean commanders:

3. Disregarding orders on tao

4. Paying little attention to

Weaknesses Show Up.
These weaknesses at command
levels showed up glaringly at-a
time when Chinese troops were
smashing South Korean divisions
with record artillery lombard
ments in support of the biggest
Red push in two years.
At some points the Chinese
gained five to six miles.
Both sides were badly hurt in
the terrific fighting. The 9th
Army reported 36,20O Communist
casualties, the third highest
monthly total of the war. South
Korean losses were not told but
appeared at least equal to those
nthe great battles for White
Horse Mountain and the Kum-

Some of the losses appeared
tragically unnecessary. But per-
