YORKTOWN, Va.

YORKTOWN, Va.
TN AN ERA Of pushbutton warfare,
u 1t is difficult to believe that obsolete
weapons, some Of 1908 vintage and
about as dangerous-looking as rusty
old oil drums. played a kingsize role
in stopping cold an important invasion
force.
But, armed with horns like the devil
himself. they did just that to us in
Korea. And mainly because of it, at
the Naval Schools Of Mine Warfare
here-where Lord CORVALLIS surren-
dered in the decisive battle for Amer
lean independence Its years ago-a
new fleet Of iron men in wooden
ships" is being trained
Navy Capt Stephen M. Archer was
explaining this as he stood near the
fantail Of a spanking new mahogany
covered mine sweeper boat, watching
seamen stream out sweep gear in the
York River. He recalled how 10000
United Nations troops were held up for
two weeks from landing at Wonsan, on
North Korea'S east coast, while a
heroic but vastly understood sweep
force cleared the mine-clogged harbor
and approaches. And, he added, with
thousands Of mines to cope with in
Korean waters, few were bound to
find their mark. All United States
Navy sea casualties (including six ships
sunk and seven damaged, causing los
deaths and 223 injured) resulted from
this underwater menace.
Capt. Archer, who lives at 5228 South
Eighth road, Arlington, is head of the
Mining Section in the Nays Undersea
Warfare Division. Frequently, he makes
the 180-mile trip from Washington to
the school to help with curriculum and
training problems.
Tapping the MSBs gray deck, he
said with smile: "You can imagine
the expense If you ever priced
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-08-29

mahogany table," But the 81 million
all hard wood sweepers are invaluable
for two reasons, he explained: They're
durable and devoid of the steel which
explodes magnetic mines, thereby offer
ing maximum of protection to per-
sonnet
The 57-foot MSB Is the outgrowth
Of Capt. Archer's use of the LCvP land
ing craft at Chinnampo in his Shoe
string Navy"
That was In November, 1850, shortly
after the Wonsan Harbor sweep. The
9th Army, In its fast developing often
sive in Korea, was outrunning its sup
plies. The one solution was for the Navy
to open the mine-infested channels Of
recently captured Chinnampo, port for
Pyongyang, North Korean capital.
Capt. Archer, one Of the Nays top
notch mine experts, was tapped for the
job. But he was naval offlcer without
ship. In fact. he didn't even have
rowboat. The way he rounded up
sweep feet posthaste Is colorful page
In naval history. It included with the
help of Rear Admiral Allan e. Smith,
now retired. then commander of the
U. N. Blockade and Escort Force) his
"shanghaiing" eight chief petty officers
from the Japanese port of Sasebo and
nabbing ships as they came into Sasebo
Channel from the vantage point of
destroyer escorts flying bridge. Land
ing craft with midget, makeshift sweep
gear went after shallow-water mines,
and men who had never seen mine
before responded to training while
under way to mine fields. Four weeks
after the operation began, Vice Admiral
Turner Joy, commander, Far East Naval
Forces, radioed him he was glad to be
wearing the same uniform" For Chin
nampo was open, the result of a ZOO
mile channel sweep without mishap or
loss of life.

Election Board to HOldHearino

Official steps have been taken
requesting a hearing before the
State Board of Elections regarding
irregularities allegedly occurring
during the recent Democratic
Primary in Columbus County.
w. Horace Carter, editor of The
Tribune, and w. A. Thompson,
chairman of the Columbus County
Democratic executive committee,
appeared before the State Board
of Elections in Raleigh Monday
morning and lodged an official
complaint. The complaints made
against A. E. Powell, Jr., chair
man of the county board of cleo
tions, charged that Powell had
authorized persons to be registered
several days after the books were
closed and that he had voted per-
SONS after the polls had closed.
These claims, along with others.
were substantiated by signed and
sworn affidavits. Several other
affidavits of more serious nature
were. available but were not pre-
scented to the board in Raleigh
Monday.
After hearing the official COM
plant, the State Board left the
room for a short consultations
They returned and stated that a
hearing would be held in Column
bus County and that any citizen
desiring to do SO would have the
opportunity to present any charges
and evidence at the hearing.
The date for the hearing will
be set within d few days and the
actual hearing is expected within
a few weeks.
Carter, who read the complaint
in Raleigh, prefaced his remarks
by saying that he regretted the
necessity of dealing in PERSONAL
ties. He said that affidavitS had
been brought to him and that the
talk of election injustice has been
rampant in Co,urlbuS for long
ime. Il feel that the people are
Untitled to abSolut" fairness in
