Marine Hero Can't Forget Bitter Cold Of Korea War

That is Col. Raymond q.
Davis memory Of the fighting
around Korea's Chosin Reservoir
four years ago this week--aI1
engagement for which he re-
ceived the Congressional Medal
of Honor from President Eisen-
hover.
Col. Davis, now stationed at
Quantico, went to Korea in 1850
with most OF the honors q grate-
full Nation can give its military
heroes. He had the Navy Cross.

of a second: the Legion of Merit,
the Bronze Star and Purple

"It was just bit Of tough

Chosin Reservoir battle. The
cold was the worst"
Details Of Action.
The citation accompanying his
Medal Of Honor, awarded In the
White House rose garden while
Col. Davis was on duty at Marine
Corps recruiting headquarters
here, put it this way:
although keenly aware that
the operation involved break
ing through a surrounding en-
emy and advancing 8 miles
along primitive icy trails in the
bitter cold with every passage
disputed by a savage and de-
termined foe, 1t. Col. Davis
boldly led his battalion into the
attack in a daring attempt to
relieve beleaguered rifle COM
pany and to seize. hold and de-
fend a vital mountain pass con-.
trolling the only route available
for two Marine regiments In
danger of being cut off by nu-
merically superior hostile forces
during their redeployment to
the port of Hungham."
Col. Davis said:
eft was just q hard fight to
break out Of the surrounding
perimeter we were in."
Hand Fight.
The citation said:
when the battalion imne-
diately encountered strong OPP
position from entrenched enemy
forces commanding high grounds
in the path of the advance, he
promptly spearheaded his unit
in a fierce attack up the steep,
ice-covered slopes in the face
of whitening fire, and, person
ally leading the assault groups
in q hand-to-hand encounter,
drove the hostile troops from
their position, rested p his men
and reconnoitered the area I'M
der enemy fire to determine the
best route for continuing the
mission"
Col. Davis said:
I was chiefly concerned about
Evening star., 1954-11-28

the welfare Of my men in all
that cold"
The citation said:
Always in the thick of the
fighting, 1t. Col. Davis led his
battalion over three successive
ridges in the deep snow in con-
tinuous attacks against the en-
emy and, constantly inspiring
and encouraging his men
throughout the night, brought
his unit to a point within 1900
yards of the surrounded rife
company by daylight.
Although knocked to the
ground when a shell fragment
struck his helmet and two bull
lets pierced his helmet, he arose
and fought his way forward at
the head of his men until he
reached the isolated Marines. -

measure diagonally from corner

established industry practice,
the resulting measurement is

It may seem surprising that between two TV picture
tubes-both truthfuIy labeled ''21-inch" there may
be difference of almost 80 square inches in actual
picture size And it may appear even more mysterious
that the larger of the two 2 tubes fits more compact

than other 81" TV. Because it is an
all-new picture tube, with new di-
mansions, and made from entirely
new tools and dies, it was possible to
make another important improve

Not only is the size of the picture

to Just under 21z So you how it is possible to add
many square inches to the picture area and still have

And this is why the label ''21 Inch picture tube"

Here's another important question to ask before you
