men.
\merican soldiers first held the
N Korean troops in complete

led them as a rabble of bar

and run at the first shock of

made a contact with the Reds by
artillery fire on July 5 were left
dazed and unbelieving by the re
sulting reaction,
They had expected to be heavily
outnumbered, What they hadn’t
expected was to be outnumbered
by a trained group of fighters
with more tanks, anti-tank guns
and automatic weapons than the
Americans had.
Were Surprised
They were almost as surprised
as a U, S, cavalry regiment would
have been in the last century if it
had gone to quell an Indian up
rising and found the Redskins had
the firepower of a modern panzer
division.
The situation continues, and the ‘
GI hasn’t yet got over it. He still
hasn't adjusted to the fact that
“the Gooks” are ready, willing
and able to fight two types of
warfare—guerrilla warfare from
the hills and modern scientific
armored warfare in the valleys.
The American soldier today is
confused and baffled by the fact
that so far in Korea he hasn’t
been able to meet the Reds on
equal terms. Only the great U. S.
edge in the air kept the Korea
venture from becoming a disaster.
Grateful as he is for Air Force
support, the American ground
soldier wants his firepower on the
ground, too. He is the son of a
mechanized civilization. He is
rather resentful that his country
wasn't geared to give him tools
in quantity and quality to over
whelm “these gook-suit hillbillies.”
The GI has fought bravely and
well, saving American honor with
his blood, in a war he didn’t start
against a people who did. He also
has had the disadvantage of fight
ing a land whose customs, terrain
and language are totally unfamil
iar to him—a soil on which the
enemy is at home,
Stranger In War
He feels himself a stranger in a
war he doesn’t know much about,
And it broke so fast the American
Army hasn’t had time to indoc
trinate fresh troops. It has only
been able to give him what arms
it could and send him into the
line. g
A bearded, dust-covered captain
I met after the withdrawal behind
the Naktong river, said:
“I still ean’t realize I’'m here. If
anyone had told me 60 days ago
that I would be fighting in Korea,
I wouldn’t have believed he was
anything but crazy.” -
Another correspondent told me
of hearing a doughboy in a front
line explain to his puzzled buddy:
“Sure 1 know why we are here.
We got to fight Communism
wherever it breaks out and tries
to take places by force.”
And daily the American soldier
is toughening to his mission. He
is tired of retreating. He is angry.

Health Conditions

InMid-Cenfury .
NEW YORK, N. Y. — Military
and industrial manpower in the
United States has been built up
materially since the start of
World: War II by improvement in
public health and related decline
in death rates, according to Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company
stastisticians.
Never in the country’s history
have health conditions been more
favorable than during the first
half of 1950, the statisticians re
port. This is shown by the exper
ience among the company’s mil
lions of industrial policyholders,
for whom mortality was the same
as the all-time low recorded in the
like period of last year.
Spectacular improvement is
shown in the death rates for tu
berculosis and for pnetumonia and

influenza, which are among the
leading causes .of death at the
ages from which our military
strength and the bulk of our in
dustrial manpower is drawn.
Since 1042 the death rates from
these causes for the first half of
each year have declined by nearly
one-half, that for tuberculosis
