fiercest of the war.
AP correspondent Don White
head said the Marines advanced
over a savagely contested slope.
He said it was the type of fight
the Marines made in the Pacific
in the second World War..
AP correspondent Jack Mac
beth reported from the 24th infan
try position Thursday night that
the Army doughboys had reached
their objectives. They. are on the
Marines’ northern flank.
Macßeth reported the Dough
boys were digging in for a possible
counter-attack from 12,000 river
crossing Reds in the bridgehead
during Thursday night. .
The Marines were withdrawn
27 miles from their Korean south
coastal gains and- moved to the
Naktong river line to meet the
attack.
~The hit -hard and fast at Craggy
Hill to spearhead an American
offensive against the 12-day-old
Red bridgehead over the river be
low Changnyong. The town is 23
miles southwest of Taegu, 'south
Korea’s emergency capital.
Red Buildups
As the Marines fought in their
bloodiest battle of the war, AP
correspondent Stan Swinton
with the 25th infantry division left
to defend the South coastal area,
reported a buildup of the Red
forces shattered by U. S. forces
before the Marines were with
drawn, Swinton said an attack on
U. S. defense positions west of
Masan, 27, airline miles east of
Pusan, the No. 1 U. S. seaport
on the southeastern tip of the Ko
rean peninsiula, was building up.
The whole Korean warfront was
rapidly becoming a battle of posi
tion.
~Troops were shifted on both
sides,
The Reds moved the main por- |
tion of their 60,000-man force in |
the Waegwan area about 12 milesj
to the northeast for a thrust to-'
ward Taegu from Changchon. st
- 'This new Red threat from |
Changchon seemed to be the main l
enemy effort. / |
Steps to stop it and sporadic
Communist attacks all along the
Naztong river line occupied allied
commanders.
In the deep south the reinforced
U. S. 25th infantry division was
alerted for a possible North Ko
rean attempt to break through
toward Pusan.
Red armor was reported rush
ing to that area to reinforce the
war-worn Red sixth division.
Battling all along the line, the
Americans and South KXoreans
shored up where they could.
° Retake a Bridge it
Outside of Waegwan, a rubbled
no-man’s-city of 20,000, the hard
fighting U. S. first cavalry divi
sion retook a ridge of a hill de
signated as 303 which the Reds
had wrested from them earlier
Thursday.
It was a nip-and-tuck battle all
the way for the hill.
On the north-central front two
South Korean divisions—the sixth
and eighth—bore the brunt of
Red attacks.
The eigth hurled back the Reds
without losing ground. The sixth
was forced to give “less than a
mile,” General MacArthur’s head
quarters said.
The Reds were pouring from
the Waegwan area Saturday Wed
geszgay by a mass bombing by
-295,
AP correspondent Hal Boyle at
the Waegwan front reported 32
U. S. prisoners of war, with hands
tied behind their -backs, were
slain by the Reds.
- Boyle said the 32 were in a
group of 37 men the Communists
had marked for death. Five lived
to tell the story.
This massacre occured in the
area that was bombed by 98 8129 s
Wednesday and may have been a
retaliation measure. .
Thé marine battle for the cliff
outside Changnyong was the
bloodiest fight Thursday.
The marines were up against
part of 12,000 river-crossing Reds
who bulged out seven miles east
of the Nantong and clawed to cut
the Taegu supply line from Pusan.
The slowly advancing marines,
their wounded and stretcher bear
ers targets of Red snipers, weath

But if the United States were
fighting an enemy that had con
trol of the air, stronger arguments
could be advanced for using the
atomric bomb against critical troop
concentrations.
In such a case, fast jet bombers
carrying the bombs could under
take individual sneak attacks. The
600-mile-an-hour Boeing B-47
might be used on such missions.
Even if only one or two atomic
bomb carriers got through to the
target, they would exert as much
destructive power as a substantial
force of bombers battling their
way through an enemy air force
with conventional explosives.

water to the pan drippings and

When making iced tea use twice
as much tea to a cup of boiling

YULE ARTICLES PLENTIFUL
BUT PRICE TREND IS UP
CHICAGO-—The Korean war is
causing repercussions in current
gift shows here.
The outlook, however, is for a
plentiful supply of goods, foreign
and domestic, for this year’s
Christmas shopper. What lies be
yond that is, at the moment, any
one's guess. E
Prices? Firm in many instances,
but in others that involve war
critical materials, the price trend
is up.
Some store buyers-—and there
are thousands here from all parts
of the country—are concerned
about possible shortages of gift
wares made from critical ma=-
terials. .
Like some consumers, some
store buyers are placing extra
large orders for nylon hose, wool
blankets, cotton sheets, and table
linens.
Shortages Developing
Shortages are beginning to de
volop in these lines, but more be
cause of the terrific influx of or
ders, rather than because of any
present shortage of raw materials,
according to Wallace O. Ollman,
general manager of Chicago’s great
Merchandise Mart,
The picture is changing from
day to day, however. No one will
make definite predictions. But
manufacturers with plentiful mer
chandise are discouraging specula
lative buying. .
This is the view, for instance,
of J. H. Eyerly, wholesaler of a
quality line of toys. A lot of toy
merchandise has already been
made, he says, enough to insure
a good supply for Christmas. It
may be wisdom, he thinks, to
shop early for choice. After Christ
mas? He, for one, refuses to be
lieve the present Korean situation
will explode into World War lil.
Rush For Toys
Now, however, jitters caused by
material shortages during World
War II has caused a rush of toy
buying orders. Mr. Eyerly hasn’t
experienced the like of it, he
claims, in all the 22 years he has
been in business. Before this hap
pened, he says, 1950 was to have
been the best in toy business his
tory because of a record of chil
dren and weR filled family pock
etbooks.
Toy materials that already have
become critical he lists as: copper,
brass, steel, aluminum, and rub
ber.
Liquid latex, such as goes into
the making of rubber balloons,
is- extremely scarce. Normally,
toy factories buy liquid latex by
Mr. Eyerly’s source of rubber
PAGE FIVE
the tank car,
balls indicates that there may be
no more after 60 days, unless the
war situation eases up.
Rubber Getting Scarce
Natural crude rubber is be
coming scarce for ‘toys. More syn
thetic rubber is in the offing, but
this lacks bounce often need
ed.
Charles H. Carroll, another toy
wholesaler in the Mart, says steel
toy prices advanced 3 to 10 per
cent on Aug 1.
As for plastics, materials that
go into these—whether for toys
or other gifts—are plentiful at
the moment. Some concern is ex
pressed, however, as to how long
this will hold up.
Gift items from foreign coun
tries have been arriving in great
er volume than at any time since
before World War 11, according
to importers with permanent
showrooms in the Mart.
New Tobey Jugs i
There are new patterns of din
nérware and table glassware
from Japan, France, and England,
and porcelains from Bayaria.
Sweden has sent a wide variety
of goods, including glass and pew
ter. ’
From England have come new
Tobey jugs, patterned after Gil~
bert and Sullivan Llight opera
characters. i
H. E. Cuttle, Sr., of Grow and
Cuttle, importers and manufac
turers have received Dresden fig
ures from the Russian zone of
Germany—the first such real
Dresden since before the last war.
A “surprising” amount of gift
ware items has also been re~
ceived by Mr. Cuttle from Com
munist China. This indicates, he
says, that merchandise is plent
fully available there though
there has been difficulty in get
ting it out because of the Na
tionalist blockade of prineipal
ports, such as Shanghai and Pei
ping.
According to Mr. Cuttle, the
Communists have sent shipments
overland to more northern ports
and shipped out from there.
High inflation continues to ex
ist in Communist China, he
