The division is commanded by

Of Korea and support of ROK

nave also been assignments drawn
by units of the division. The four
ships also took part in the mock
invasion of Kojo.
The Communists never opened
fire on the Wedderburn, although
she spent more time within range
of enemy guns that any of the

The Uhlmann, the first to draw
fire, had cut rail lines south of
Wonsan and was firing into a
rail tunnel when Communist bat
teries opened fire. Two of the
red guns were destroyed in the

casualties from three direct hits.
Later the Hopewell, while
severing a section of rails north
of Wonsan, drew fire twice in
one morning. Gun fire from her
own guns silenced the enemy
before they could hit back.
Late in January, the Kidd was
furnishing fire support for South
Korean troops when the enemy
opened up. Again counter battery
fire silenced the enemy guns
without damage to the ship. The
Kidd had earlier rescued Marine
.Iyer within a mile of enemy guns
in the same loaction.
The division was one of the
last to patrol the Formosan

The foxes are raiding their

with the best hens in the

This particular friend said
that she spent fifteen years

chicken and now five or six
have been killed by the foxes.
She asks that public interest
be enlisted in doing something
to prevent further property
damage in her area and in

AS we told her-we do not
know what to do. The only
sure way to get rid Of the foxes

is to kill them. Perhaps if all
