South Koreans Lose,
Then Regain 7 Posts
In Bitter Fighting
BY the Assoeioied Press

SEOUL, June 18.-South Ko-
rean troops, fighting viciously
lost and then won back two
front-line positions on the east
central front today.
Four hundred Chinese pushed
the ROKs off step, high MI
Ridge, near Christmas Hill. at
6 am. but the ROKs banged
back and retook the height about
noon. It has been the scene of
i bloody fighting the past few
days.
Another 400 Chinese battled
hand to hand with South Ko-
rean troops at a front-line posi-
ton south of Finger Ridge in
midmorning. finally pushing the
ROKS back. A few hours later
the doughty South Koreans won
back the position in more close
range battling.
In the air, United States Sa-
bre pilots destroyed four MICS
and damaged four others in
jet battles that ranged down to
tree-top height along the Yalu
River in far northwest Korea.
Meanwhile, an 9th Army Of
f1cer said latest figures showed
100 Chinese killed and 48O
wounded early Tuesday in two
unsuccessful 2,00-man attacks at
Outpost Harry on the central
front.
Allied casualties were COM
paratively very low, he said.
Greek troops threw back a
sharp strike at Outpost Harry
Thursday.
The Red jab at Outpost Harry
on the. central front ended a
short-lived lull across the 1885,
mile battlefront-a lull which
appeared timed to agreement at
Panmunjom on a battlefront de-
marcation line.
The stubborn Greek defenders
threw back 5000 Chinese and
North Korean Reds in an hours
long, hand-to-hand battle on
OUTPOST Harry.
In other ground action, allied
artillery chopped up 1,5O0 Red
reinforcements attempting to
move toward Communicated
Finger Ridge Wednesday night.

gan at 1885 am. Thursday

tenders while the remainder fell
back with heavy casualties.
The Communists withdrew at

seemed to me that it was wrong
to take such risks in the present
conditions. I kept close to Terray
in case it should be necessary to
hold Lachenal on the rope.
I hardly had time to say a
word before Lachenal was up. He
had surmounted the difficult
stretch in a really mastery
fashion. Without losing a second

second piton, and some nylon

Closing the tent and shoulder
ing out packs, Rebuffat and I
started up too, and a few
moments later joined the others
roped together on a comfortable
stance protected by a great
shelter stone.
We held a brief consultation.
The only one to take an optimis-
tic view of the route up the spur
was Lionel Terray. Lachenal was
of the opinion that we should
never finish with this endless
ridge. Renuffat was pessimistic.

Mrs. Wanda Fusco, only 10, wants
to stay married. Her husband,
Francesca Fusco, II, is seeking
a divorce.
The wife obtained an injunc-
ton in Common Pleas Court to-

from divorcing her. He's in
Reno, New, now.
Mrs. Fusco told the court she
married Fusco three years ago
in Salerno, Italy. The BRIDE
groom, retired from his job as
elevator operator at the Phila-

trip to his home town in Italy.
She said the marriage was a
happy one until last fall when
she was forced to leave" the

The court granted the injunc-
ton. saying Mr.. Fusco can seek

Dogged Climb Up Dangerous Spur Raises Doubts

ability the spur would not prove
to be the way up Annapurna
For even if we should discover
that the route itself led to Anna
purna. it would be out of the
question to bring the whole ex-
pedition up this way.
Obviously, the route was 50
long and difficult that, in the
event of prolonged bad weather,
or the premature arrival Of the
monsoon, or any injury to a
climber which involved carrying
him down, our situation could
become highly dangerous.
Much the same reasoning had
already made me give up Dhaul-
agiri.
Two Would Return.
AS I looked once more at the
glacier, and the enormous ice
fall down below, I felt in my
bones that if there were way
up Annapurna, that was where
it lay. So another plan began
to take shape in my mind.
Rebuffat and Lachenal, who
had not the least wish to con-
tinue up the spur, would go back
as quickly as possible to the
temporary base camp. They
would then take a Sherpa with
them, and attempt to force a
way-which to all appearances
would be found along the right
bank-up the glacier to the
plateau which, we guessed, prob
ably lay beyond the ice-fal on
the north face. ..
If they were successful they
would have to send us word at
once. Meanwhile Terray and I
would continue up the spur to
set our minds finally at rest over
the possibilities of this present
route.

snow, leveled it and then at last
began to get the tent up.
We fastened it in front to
pitons hammered into the rock,
and at the back of our ice-axes
driven in up to the hilt. We
fixed the guy-ropes to stones in
stead of to pegs.
The careful Rebuffat made a
little wall on the edge of the
precipice to protect himself from
the wind, and prudently put in
a good, strong piton for us to
belay ourselves to. To this piton
we remained roped all night.
Unbearable Cold.
Snow fell relentlessly, with
never a break; the cold became
unbearable. Had there ever been
such an airy camp as this, we
wondered. or one which had
been wrested from the mountains
with such difficulty?
Tea cheered us up a little. We
hadn't much appetite, but duti-
fully swallowed the vitamins ad-
vised by DR.. Oudot. The wind
howled, the tent shook; ,our
thoughts went round and round
in circles. For long time we
couldn't get to sleep.
At dawn it was still showing
slightly; the rocks had quite a
thick covering of powder snow
which discouraged any hope of
being able to go on. We decided
to wait for better weather, and,
if it didn't improve, we would go
down at noon. leaving everything
in place for our return to the
attack.
The most difficult pitch was
directly above our tent. 1t con-
sisted of a block split at the top
by a little crack which had to
be reached-but heaven knew
how-for everything was COW
cred with snow.
Rebuffat thought it was hope
less and was all for going down
at once. But I wanted to ex-
hauSt every possibility and so
avoid any future regrets. If the
weather improved the snow
might melt quickly and allow
reasonable progress. Lachenal
and Terray appeared on the
ridge.
A Dangerous Climb.
Lachenal flung himself at this
dangerous pitch, which he had
climbed two days before. He
began a traverse to the left on
particularly treacherous snow;
it was just lying loose on the
slope, but when he stepped on
it. it packed and clung to the
rock.
At the very end of this ledge
was a crack up which he climbed
for about 10 feet. Every hold
was covered with ice. I glanced
at Terray, to whom he was
roped, and saw that he had him
we'll Delayed.
Lachenal now set to work on
a gigantic open corner; he
cleared a tiny crack which he
tried to use. His feet slipped
and only by a miracle did his
hands hold. He came down a
notch, hammered in a piton,
which wobbled and inspired no
confidence, but he stepped onto
it without any hesitation.
How on earth was he to get
any higher? He tok his ice ak,
which was all wet, jammed it an
inch or so in the crack and
pulled on it hard to see if it held.
The ak moved up and down in
the crack, but by jerking it he
succeeded in jamming it firmly.
Then he hung on by both arms
to the shaft of the Ak. He took
his foot of the piton and made
a desperate effort to gain a
few inches.

Some 80 years ago, the general
medical conception was that the
nervous system was the only CO.
ordinating mechanism in the body.
At that time the functions of the
various organs were explained in
terms of their connections with
the nerves.
Today we know that there is
another coordinating system in
the body, one which depends on
the blood rather than the nerves
to carry its messengers through
! the body. This system is made up
iof hormones, chemicals that are
formed in a specific organ, course
through the body in the blood
stream, and induce other organs
to act in certain ways.
These hoimones play an inn
portant part in making you the
