ried, tKes days, one of their
biggett problems is to balance
the budget. There are ro many
, things they'd like to have .
perhaps a radio, a new auto
mobile, a hom of thnr own.
Or simpler thiugi like furninh-
ingfl for the den or the spare
room, new drapes, or even going
to the movies. Yes, thre are
til kinds of ways to spend mon
ey, and all kinds of nice things
to buy.
But let me tell the young
husband something: He's going
to bt a whole lot happier if he
knows he'a taken care of tha
little lady should anything hap
pen to him. Don't forget, some
times vouch hunhands die. And
I'm not being morbid. It's just
plain commou sense.
So, young fellow, just you
look into your budding right
now, and put some of your
savings into a Pun Lift insur
ance plan that'll take cart of
the little lady you'd do any
thing for. She's worth it.
Whatever your income, I
think I can tell you how you
can go about it.

Hell And Death Description
Of American Heroism Told
By Correspondent In Korea
SEATTLE (API This it the grim story of one tmall Island
of violence end death in Korea.
It it delayed in the telling. It happened when the names of
Hamhung end Woman were symbsli of victory rather than land
marks of defeat.
But it it graphic description of the hours of hell and death
for one tmall group ot Americans that is worth patting on
It ia from Sgt. Lewis D. Gibson,
a yarine correspondent. He said
he wrote it and mailed it to a
friend here because of his rebellion
at the time (a week before the
start of the big Chinese Red
counterdrive) against the "home
by Christmas' talk. He "said he
wanted to show how desperately
men were fighting and dying, even
then, in territory behind the
United Nations front lines.
The storv of tortuous
amid violent death came from the
lips of Marine Pfc. Richard Foster
of Wilmington, Del., who was
wounded, trampled on and left for
dead. He later was .sent to a hos
pital in Japan.
Foster's ill-fated platoon was on
guard duty on a train for the run
up "Ambush Alley," from Wonsan
to Hamhung.
The train had stopped for water
at a village midway on the 85-mile
supply line trip. Suddenly, a band
of North Koreans emerged from
a hideout.
Foster shot the' first Korean to
enter the railroad ear, then "all
hell broke loose." A daring dash
to the engine to try to get the
train started was unsuccessful.
Bodies Piltd Likt Cordw.od
Foster's story continued:
"Bullets were screaming
through doors, wooden sides and
the windows. Some of them (North
Koreans) tried coming through
the windows, some through the
door; my buddy got one at a win
dow. "Our hospital corpsman was
really giving them hell, and at the
same time bandaging wounded.
The lieutenant was stacking them
up like cordwood.
"Again they pinned us down
bv firing through the sides of the
car. We were like ducks in a tub.
"We were still lying in the aisle
when we saw a lis't coming our
wav from the olheiiar. At first
we'thouelit it was some of our own
men coming tin to help us. It was
more Communists.

"The lieutenant shot one; my
buddv got another. Then we started
crawling to the end of the car un
der the'seats. They started throw
ing grenades into the car.
"Pfc was the first to get hit by
one. It didn't kill him. The next one
killed a wounded sergeant. The
corpsman' was working on the Pfc
when he got hit. My buddy got
hit and so did Pfc but both men
were still alive. I'll never lorget
that corpsman. He kept right on
working, even though wounded.
God, he must have been made of
guts. Just a kid, too. t
'Then they (the North Koreans)
came into the car firing a Rus
sian burp gun. , . . soon they
stepped firing and turned a light
on us to see if we were dead. The
corp.sman started to moan and
they shot him again.
"They came over to me and hit
me in the head and mouth with the
butt of a rifle, but I still remained
limp. One of them stood on me to
get my bedding roll down.
"As they were leaving one of
them stopped above me. I felt a
sting as he shot me in the back
It came out here. (He pointed to
his chest). Then he left, too. .
"It was then that I found the
lieutenant. My buddy, Pvt. , and
Pic. were still alive. The gooks
came back. The private started
yelling: " shoot me ! shoot me. and
get it over with!" They shot him
Pic moved. They shot him.
"They pulled my buddy's helmet
off, hit him in the face and made
his nose bleed, but he still played
dead. They shot the lieutenant
again, took all his personal effects,
then shot him twice more! with his
own .45. They left after that.
