3rave Fight of South Koreans
Gets Small Notice and Credit
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—In the natural Amer
jcan interest about the battles of the U, S. First
Cavalry, 25th, Second and First Divisions, the role
of the Republic of Korea's army has been generally
lost sight of. It is a glorious record. It will go down
in history as one of the great attempts by a native
poople to resist aggression and put down civil war,
Not too many details of their gallant stand have
{-c -n reported to the Pentagon. Republic of Korea—
FOK forces, they're called—get only a line or two
11 the daily eommuniques, and little or no mention
in the daily briefings. But enough facts can be dug
¢ . to give the main outlines of the story.
"hey numbered originally 96,000 men. How many
of them are alive today, no one can say with any
degree of aecuracy. The original North Korean at
tacking foree was approximately of the same size—
-90,000 to 100,000 men. But the North Koreans were
vastly superior in arms. They had artillery; they
had 300 Soviet-made tanks and 100 to 150 Soviet
made planes.
The South Koreans had no armor—no artillery,
no tanks and only 16 trainer planes for an air force,
They had been deployed in depth along the 38th
parallel, They had had some experience in fighting
z2d rounding up guerrilla raids that were made
= ross the line from time to time, particularly on
£ unday mornings, But the South Koreans were to
-lally unprepared for the all-out attack of June 25.
TROOPS TOOK MERCILESS POUNDING
In that origindl attack, the South Koreans took a
terrible beating. They were armed only with rifles,
machine guns and mortars, They had a little artil
lery in 75’s and 105’s, but lost much of it.
There were originally eight South Korean dive
isions, They were organized something along the
line of U. S. light infantry triangular divisions,
with three regiments of infantry, light artillery,
transport and service troops. But they were equip=
ped and trained primarily for police action and sup
pression of riots, :
Fiver divisions met.the initial North Korean at«
tack, The other three divisions were farther south.
+ Zome units met such heavy attacks that they were
1 rtually destroyed, or their troops so scattered that
taey ceased to exist as military organizations, Some
len may have escaped to coastal islands, been
captured, or faded into the hills, That is why esti~
mates of casualties are next to impossible.
But there are today still five Korean divisions in
action, They are identified as the First, Third,
Sixth, Eighth and Capital Divisions. The last was
originally calleq the Fourth. But after a revolt in
this division last year, the number Four became un
lucky. So the division dropped its number and took
a name.
STILL IN THERE FIGHTING
These five fighting Korean divisions have held
the eastern end of the line, in the last few weeks,
And they have held, Their sector of the line has
been in more mountainous country. Pressure on
this end of the line has not been as heavy as in
western Korea, where the U, S, troops have been
conmmitted.
For the first three days, the poorly~equipped
South Koreans fought alone. Then they got U. S.
Air Force support from Japan. First U, S. ground
troops did not reach the line until July 4.
The South Koreans did have and still have the
advice of some 500 U. S. Army officers and non
coms in the Korean Military Advisory Group—
KMAG. It had served as the training and instruc=
sion group for the South Koreans.
An officers’ school had been established in Seoul,
All Korean officers had been trained there in a
short course, then assigned to troops. General Chung
$I Kwon has been commander-in-chief of the South
Xoreans since July 1.
As the U. 8. flank has been turned in southwest
#&n Korea, forming an inverted “L” shaped line,
#®e South Korean divisions have been pulled back
§ straighten and shorten the front. Communiques
Mydicate that they have withdrawn reluctantly.
Phere is still fight in them, in spite of six weeks of
73 bad a mauling against terrible odds, as any body
§ troops ever got.
Truth is our T-bomb in the moral and intellec
sual struggle with the Reds. - General Dwight D.
' Risenhower,

If we do not take active measures to reduce de

Aggressors Who Would Force
A-Bomb’s Use Are the Culprits
We won’t use the atom bomb in Korea. But we
would in a big war. So people once more are asking
as they did five years ago: Is the A-bomb inhuman?
From the moment we aropped The Bomb on Hiro
shima in Japan, the cry went up in many places that
we had committed a morally indefensible act. Many
linked the new weapon with poison gas and still
untried germ warfare as a fiendish device too horri
ble even for total war.
Talk of outlawing the bomb has been common
among statesmen and cab drivers, This year the
Russians are seeking to capitalize on this natural
revulsion that millions all over the world feel
toward the A-bomb. In a widely circulated peace
proposal, Moscow urges outlawing it. But Russia
isn’t concerned with its “inhuman” character; mere
ly with the fact our atomic arsenal is bigger than
hers,
Arthur H. Compton, brilliant scientist who helped
make the bomb, does not agree with those who put
the A-bomb is a special category of evil, His view
point is worth sover attention,
To him this super-explosive differs largely in
degree rather than in kind from other bombs. The
A-bomb kills by blast, by intense burning, by crush
ing and smothering people under shattered build
ings and other structures. Thousands die from
the indirect effects of the destruction—fires that
rage unchecked, the fallure of vital city services,
the loss of key medical personnel, and so on.
But these same results, somewhat less com
pounded, can be achieved piecemeal by other bombs.
The saturation raids on German cities and the
famous B-29 fire raids on Japanese centers did vast
human and property damage when taken together.
Only death by radiation is new with the A-bomb.
Yet at most perhaps a fourth of the fatalities in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted from radiation.
Is this effect therefore sufficiently deadly to support
the claim that the A-bomb is “inhuman”? |
Compton thinks not. He does not acknowledge
any real distinction, aside from ite admittedly co
lossal destrietive force, between the A-bomb and
other types.
To single out the atom bomb for particular con
demnation amounts to saying that it’s not so .bad to
kill people in small bunches but it’s wicked to kill
a lot of them at once,
To Compton it isn’t just the A-bomb that’s in
human, It's any bomb. It's war itself that con
stitutes a crime against humanity. Secretary of
State Acheson was thumping the same point when
he said aggression is the real offense.
The Japanese A-bomb victims are no deader than
the fire-raid victims of Tokyo or the citizens of
Rotterdami who were blitzed by the Nazis.
This nation does not seek war. It is firmly de~
voted to the practice of peace. In consequence it
stands before the world on sound moral ground.
And it does not lose that moral stature if another
nation resorts to war and compels the United States
to meet force with force.
Once force is unleashed, there can be no moral
hair-splitting over the degree of its use. War is
destruction, War is killing. Who dares to say how
many people it is “moral” to kill at once? Killing
a great many at once may actually shorten a war
and save millions of lives. :
The moral blame falls not on him who uses the
most destructive weapon. It falis on him who first
aims any weapon—even a rifle—with intent to gain
by force.
There is a small minority of people in this coun
try and perhaps a slightly larger minority in the
United States who possibly do enjoy the excitement
and glamor of a great war—Tom Briberg, Labor
M. P. of Great Britain.
I amr first for a man who is qualified, and second,
for a man who can win.—Paul E, Fitzpatrick, Dem=-
ocratic state chairman of New York.
Youngsters and their parents have extolled im
modesty into a national virtue by their adherence
to the growing cult of pure naturalism. — Arch
bishop Edwin E. Byrnes of New Mexico.
An agricultural economy of plenty can be
brought about by a well-coordinated program de
veloped through a commission working with pro
ducers, processors and distributors, Farmers can
adjust their agriculture to the mnation’s need to
bring best results.—Albert S. Goss, master of the
National Grange, attacking the Brannan plan,
The people on the streets don’t understand what
we have done. We have a great story and all of it
is the truth. We should spend a billion dollars a
year to let the world know the truth. It always
wins out. — Sam Goldwyn, movie-maker, on the
Marshall Plan.
Just as we have backed the United Nations by
force of arms, so must we also back it by the force
of public opinidn. Action of our military must be
accompanied Wy actions of our information service.
—Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
The fighting in Korea will mot settle any of the
issues existing betweem the communist and demo
eratie worlds regardless of which way it goes. A
victory for either the Communists or the United
Nations will lead to a crisis of major proportions.—
Governor K, C. Wu of Formosa.

Hal Boyle Describes Battle
0f Patrols On Naktong River
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Colum
nist - War Correspondent Hal
Boyle wrote the following as the
first of two columns he planned
to expiain what patrolling along
the Naktong river is like for an
American soldier. Before he got
to write the second, Boyle sur
denly shifted himseif from the
Naktong to Pohang, where the |
fighting was hottest. Hal is on a
roving assignment in the war
zone and may get time later so ‘
write the planned second eolumn
on Naktong patrels.) |
WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN |
KOREA—(AP)—On the Naktong
river front there are two stretches
of no-man’s land.
One is on the Allied eastern side
where the Americans and the
South Korean soldiers are holding
defensive positions.
~ The other is on the western side
where the Reds have been trying
to mass enough armor and men to
cross the river in power and win
the war by driving the United
Nations troops backward to the
sea,
Thus on both sides of the riv
er there is a kind of small twilight
zone that doesn’t wholly belong to
either. .
Deadly Game
In it you may find foe against
foe—playing a small but deadly
game of hide-and-seek. They are
the men on patrol duty trying to
find out what the enemy is up to.
} People who have never been to
war tend to picture a defensive
river line as a current of water
flowing between ranks solidly
lined with troops; with tanksg fir
ing volley after volley at each
other in continuous carnage. But it
isn’t that way at all. If it were, the
two opposing armies might just
about wipe each other out in
course of a busy morning.
For all their weight of metal,
armies don’t like to commit them
selves too soon. They like to
know what the other one is up to
before they decide what they will
do themselves.
So each stays back from the
river’s edge and hides as much as
it ean to keep its secrets.
It is quite possible that you
could ride or walk for miles along
either side of the river battle

Tense Quiet
It is in these lanes of tense quiet
along the river that the two oppos
ing armies send out little feelers so
test each other’s muscle.
The villages are usualiy desert
ed. The untended rice paddies go
on growing, the cicadas shrill in
the trees, careless of mankind, and
the birds find something yet to
sing about. Little else that is alive
‘in this area cares about making a
sound.
- This is by day. And a man
-might take his best girls placidly
fishing in a rowboat on the river
‘and never come to harm. The
armies are behind the ranging
|h1”lls except for an eye here and
‘} t"~~e on the ridge tops. But at
night strange lights soar across
“the river as the blind nrtfllu-yb:tfl-‘
teries seck each other’s throats in
‘growling thunder. .
And it is then, usually, that the
river armies put out their sensi
tive feelers—small groups of men
on patrol who wade or swim the
waters or creep along with silent
oars to test the enemy defense
position.
It is a duel in the dark no-man’s
land between adventurous men
seeking to snatch sleepy prisoners
and bring them back alive to pick
their frightened brains for what
they know or will tell.
This nocturnal hunting of man
against man is in some ways the
most’ exciting activity along the
Naktong river line. It takes a
soldier who has wisdom, “caution
and almost endless stamina—as
well as enterprise and the bright
quality of pravery. For one able
scout may save a regiment.
To all of our motorists whe have
gone through this much of the
summer without being killed or
injured in a traffic accident, our
Safety Education Division of the
Georgia State Patrol extends its
heartiest congratulations. It ex
presses also the sincere hope that
everyone will realize the hazards
