FanaticaI Reds Found
Lashed Together by
Wire for Death Fight
BY the Asseeiofed Press

SEOUL. July 3.-South ko-
rean infantrymen backed off the
peak of embattled Lookout
Mountain in Central Korea to-
day after fighting their way up
through fanatical Chinese troops.
including some lashed together
by wire.
An 9th Army officer said the
ROK soldiers pulled back to the
southern slope after a small
enemy force counterattacked in
the afternoon.
Officers of the Sd ROK Divi-
sion told Associated Press Cor
respondent John Randolph that
infantrymen who swept Reds off
the battered ridge after dawn
found a number of Chinese
bodies wired together. They
could not say how many of the
bodies were tied.
The officers said the Chinese
apparently had either made a
suicide pact to die fighting. or
they were wired together to keep
them from retreating.
COunterattack Broken Up.
Shortly before noon South
Koreans dug in on the crest of
Lookout reported breaking up
counterattack by three Chinese
companies which charged up the
slope in the wake of a heavy ar
tillery and mortar barrage.
A three-prong South Korean
attack launched before dawn
ouSted a Chinese battalion of
about $50 men from three main
positions on the ridge which
forms Lookout Mountain, the
9th Army said.
The ROKs and Communists
have been locked in bitter see
saw fighting for a week in the
pocket formed by the Pukhan
and Kumsong Rivers on the
east-central front.
Lookout and Finger Ridge are
on the west shoulder of the bulge
driven in United Nations lines by
the Communists last month.
Fighting Elsewhere Light.
Fighting elsewhere across the
rain-Soaked front was light.
Heavy overcast held down all
but few bombers which made
radar-aimed strikes.
The Chinese push across
some IS miles of the east central
front during June appeared to
have slackened, at least tenn
porarily.
But while the fighting ragged,
it was as heavy as any in the
past two years.
The 9th Army reported it in
t1icted more than 36,200 casual
ties on the Reds during June
third highest on record in the
three-year war-but it also
caught the greatest shelling of
the war-nearly 112 million
rounds in the same period.

One trouble with the use of
coal in early days came from the
fact that it contained sulphur.
When coal was burned next to
the iron ore, it had a bad effect
on the iron produced. because of
the sulphur. Inventors found
ways, however, to build an in
tensely hot coal fire. and at the
same time. to keep the fuel from
touching the ore.
Most of the worlds great iron
and steel mills are in coal re-
gions. This is because the mills
need a cheap supply of fuel.
When possible, the mill is placed
near a supply of iron ore as we'll
as of coal. If there can be only
one or the other, the coal supply
usually is considered more i'm
portant. 1t takes more tons of
coal than iron ore to operate a
mill.

An Englishman named Dudley
found a way to make coke from
pit coal more than 300 years ago.
He used the coke as fuel for the
manufacture of iron. His tests
did not meet great success, but
almost a century later another
Englishman-Abraham Darby
won fame and fortune by using
the same idea for melting iron.
During the past century coke
and coal have been the most
common fuels for smelling.

Often a serious and scientific
player will not do as well against
Mr.. Muzzy as he would against
another expert. In other words,
he may we'll be thrown off bal
ance by Mr.. Muzzy's unorthcdox
bids and plays.
In today's deal Mr.. MuzZy led
the seven of diamonds against
the three-no-trump contract. Mr..
Heinsite went into one of the
years longest huddles before
playing from dummy. Of course,
there is no question about his
being scientific" especially
when he is telling some one else
how they should have played a
hand.
BY the rule Of II he figured
Mrs. Keen had only one diamond
higher than the seven. He also
figured Mr.. Muzzy had six dia-
monds for his over-call and
therefore Mrs. Keen had two.
AS you see he was right on both
counts.
But that wasn't enough. He
also had to know whether Mrs.
Keen held the king or queen of
diamonds. If she had neither,
then the play was to duck in
dummy and let the first trick
run around to the jack.
If she held the king doubleton
or the queen doubleton, then the
right play was to go up with
dummys ace. That would leave
Mrs. Keen with a lone honor
which would block the suit.
Mr.. Heinsite had a cigarette
going, but he lit another. Then he
remembered Mr.. Muzzy usually
leads the king from a long suit
including king, queen and three
Or four small cardS-even against
a no-trump contract.
Mr.. A1uzzy hadn't led the king
and therefore he didn't have
both king and queen. One of
those cards was undoubtedly in
Mrs. Keen's hand. So up with
the ace Of diamonds and back
with the nine of clubs, which was
permitted to ride.
Mr.. Muzzy won with the king
of clubs and ratified off five dia-
mond tricks. He enjoyed this
pleasant result merely by being
himself-which is to say, con-
sistently inconsistent.

Mr.. Whitehead Says No

Delegate Robert Whitehead has done the
politically sensible thing in deciding not to
enter Virginia's gubernatorial primary this
year.
One of the most effective of the anti-Byrd
Democrats in the State, Mr.. Whitehead said
several weeks ago that he would run If assured
of adequate contributions to campaign
100000. The total re-
ceived, however, amounted to a little under
$4,000. That, he said, was not enough, and
he took himself out of the race.
This narrows the field to two candidates
usually identified with the Byrd organization
Arlington State Senator Charles R. Fenwick
and Representative Thomas B. Stanley
third aSpirant, w. Russell Hatchett, Virginia
Beach real estate man, is regarded as an out
slider and is not expected to figure prominently
In the primary. Presumably Senator Fenwick
will be the principal beneficiary of Mr.. White
heads decision not to run.
If Mr.. Whitehead had received the money
he felt he needed, especially If it had come in
small donations from large number of people,
he would have been justified in making the
race At best, however, his prospects would not
have been bright For this year a new law
providing for a run-off primary if needed is In
