THANKS, PAL Kneeling on the floor of his charred home at
711 East First Avenue, North, Ray Herschleb ii pictured as he
hook hands with.Winki, his' two-year-old Airedale terrier, after
the latter had awakened him at 5 o'clock in the morning by
shaking him by the arm, just in the nick of time for both to escape
from the burning house.
"You couldn't buy this dog from me," Ray declared, with
understandable sincerity. "One minute longer asleep and I would
have been a gone goose."
Winkie takes her responsibilities seriously. One night a
year ago, becoming enraged at the presence of a prowler near
the house, she took off after him right through the window.
The fact that the window was closed didn't stop her; just con
fused her long enough, amidst the shattering glass, to allow the
prowler a safe start in his get-away.

To understand the fighting that
is going on down in the southeast
corner of little Korea, we must un
derstand what the objectives of
the fighters are.
We are fighting to hold onto a
port city in a distant foreign land
until our great country can build
up strength enough to lick a LIT
TT.F. rnuntrv like North Korea.
When we f inn ally GET -?PHE4
STRENGTH, we will need t a e
port.
The commie North Koreans, of
course, are fighting to drive us
into the sea before we can build
up our strength.
That about sizes up the situation
for the immediate present.
So much for Korea.
On the opposite 'side of the
world, in Strasbourg, France,
where the European Consultative
Assembly is meeting, Winston
Churchill urged the governments
of Western Europe yesterday to
UNITE THEIR ARMED FORCES
for protection against Russian ag

he personally would like to see the
Germans REARMED and taken in
on our side to fight communists.

REMEMBER V-J DAY?
World War 2
Ended In 1945
When Japs Quit
NEW YORK UP) Five
years ago this was V-J day.
Japan, the last of the nations
that had tried to conquer the
world had surrendered without
conditions.
A few days before, two atomic
bombs had brought her empire to
its knees and ushered mankind
into a new age.
In the United Nations, polite and
polished diplomats bowed and
smiled as they wove together a
new world order.
In Europe, the western powers
and Russia linked arms across a
shattered Germany.
In the Pacific, tortured China
saw her 13-year ordeal come to a
triumphant close, and American
and Russian soldiers hastened to
end Korea's 40 ears of slavery.
In the streets, the people went
wild. The barriers broke down.
Soldiers and sailors forgot their
discipline, drank too much, and
kissed all the girls in sight.
It was peace, wasn't it? It was
the real McCoy.

Taegu Center
Of Americans
Enemy's Goal
GIs Hold Part of Pohang;
New 'Tiny Tim' Rocket Of
U.S. Deals Destruction
(By Th Associated Preut
With the greatest Communist of
fensive of the Korean war possibly
only hours away, Red forces made
probing stabs across the Naktong
river northwest of Taegu today
while they massed some 60,000
men for their big push on United
Nations forces' forward base.
The Reds threw two underwater
bridges across the river. The stone-
ana-iog onuges are a 1001 oeiow
water, hidden from sight of Amer
ican planes but capable of hold
ing armor and artillery for the
new thrust.
The fifth anniversary of Korea's
liberation from Japan Aug. 15
dawned with the Red offensive
apparently imminent in the Waeg
wan area, 12 air miles northwest
of Taegu, main American inland
base. Aug. 15 was the target date
of the North Koreans for setting up
an all-Korea government taking in
the whole country under a single
parliament. But Seoul, where it
was to meet, has been under heavy
air attack.
In today's fighting, U. S. F-80
Shooting Star jet pilots slammed
rockets, bombs and machinegun
fire into enemy positions along the
Naktong front, and B-26 light
bombers flew night intruder mis
sions as far north as Seoul The
.greatest threat. along, the front-was-
at waegwan, wnere tne neds were
assembling their greatest force. A
successful Red attack on Taegu
here would clear the way for a
final drive on Pusan, main U. S.
supply base on the southeast tip of
the peninsula.
Red Flank Shoved Back
On the southern flank of this
ominous threat, U. S. 24th division
troops, moving up in a heavy rain
behind 45-ton Pershing tanks,
shoved North Korean forces back
as much as a mile in their swol
len salient across the Naktong in
the Changnyong sector, 23 miles
south of Taegu.
As the rain lifted, U. S. fighter
planes went back into action on the
Changnyong front. The army said
the preponderance of U. S. a i r
power and artillery on the front
was giving the Americans an ad
vantage. On the southern front, U. S. ma
rines captured hills just outside
the rubbled Communist southern
anchor at Chinju.
rne "nny Tim," a big new
American 11.75-inch rocket, has
gone into combat with reported
good results. Fired from carrier-
based navy Corsair fighters, the
armor piercing rockets knocked
out 13 enemy locomotives and
damaged 23 more, blasted eight
ammunition cars, set afire two
fuel trains and beat up seven
troop-train cars.
Like the 3.5-inch bazooka anti
tank gun used by ground troops
the "Tiny Tim" got its baptism ir
the Korean war. It is considered
the most powerful rocket-type
weapon carried Dy a plane in com
bat.
Along the entire 140-mile front,
the Reds have some 15 divisions,
possibly 150,000 men.
