The Americans proved decls vely that the - commies can be icked. - The reds who got back across Ihe river don't exactly . know ivhat hit them. But they must realize that their rosy visions of i victorious march through South Korea- are gone and their future is a bleak one filled with Amer ican high explosives.' The battle was a joint army marine Job In which the marines made the most spectacular gains snd suffered the most casualties. But it must not be forgotten that Ihe army 24th division weakened Ihe North Koreans with 10 days iif continuous punishment as Jt Svas slowly pushed back from the Naktong line by overwhelm ing forces.

Science at Work By Paul F. Ellis New York (tf Progress is being made in the problem of alcoholism - and it 1s because of a better understanding between wet and dry forces. So . believes Dr. Selden D. Ba con, Yale university sociologist, who recalls tthat in the past the public was so concerned .that the problem of alcoholism, was l;or- gottten, ' ' .' Bacon said the problem of ex cessive drinking "was further complicated by a stigma attached to the- condition bf ; alcoholism. a'feeling that the1 condition was hopeless, since it was achieved by mere willfulness." ; Ignorance and Fear4 , - Finally Brokn Through 5, ! Bacon said that - in tms at mosphere of hatred, distrust, dis dain and hopelessnes, not much couleHJe done." - "- - wowver, certain iorces were at work which -t "finally broke through this crust of ignorance and fear," he said. Not that the' job Is complet ed, but these factors . all - coin cided in the last decade to the ex tent that study could be.; made, so that more and more of the public could accept new under standing and so that public ac tion could emerge," he said. He cited the development oi oi- ficial state programs to ; meet the problem, and said that in 1945, the state of Connecticut took the lead by establishing tne first commission on alcoholism. Since then, 25 states have start ed similar programs. - Change in Attitudes Keal Significance Bacon believes that establish ment of the commission is not the real change in public attitude, but that the significance, comes in the attitudes of many groups which brought these commissions and departments into being. He said: "I think that the idea of a state commission which would deal with alcoholism and alcoholics would have been considered an idle dream if not a nightmare back in 1940. In 1950, it is thought of not only as a human! tartan and an obvious neaitn measure, but also as a matter of good business, of saving dollars and cents." He explained that the state alcohol commissions fall into three categories: 1. Commis sions surveying the problem, dis covering the attitudes of physi cians, judges, ministers, and so cial workers, and Indirectly in teresting and even educating wider segments of the popula tion; 2, groups that emphasize the educational approach, but al so work for rehabilitation; and 3, states placing the greatest em Dhasls on the therapeutic au proach, with out-patient clinics for alronoucs, special ann general hospital facilities, medical and social work and psychiatric train ing and research.

Summers of Madras has filed as an Independent to oppose A. M. "Dutch" Pluemke, former city marshal and active in affairs of the American Legion post, for county commissioner. Pluenke defeated Marion soutn, repuoii can Incumbent for republican nomination for commissioner, at the May primaries.

Russia, through its official Tass news agency, proclaimed in April anil May that the soviet union had completed the repatriation on an POW's taken by the red army except war criminals. But the German and Japanese national assemblies disagreed. Both protested and asked that an international agency, such as the Red Cross, be admitted to Russia to investigate the Kremlin s state ment.
