First American
Victory in Korea
Due to Teamwork
By Robert C. Miller
(United lies SUIT Oorreuoniletit)
On the Naktong Rher Front,
Korea, Aug. 21 im The dead
iave been burled and the wound-
A bandaged, so tne- Monday
norning quarterbacks took over
he battle of (he bulge today, an
ilvzine the Americans' first ma-
or victory in Korea to find out
iow 12.000 communist troops
were wiped out. .-
There was no single answer.
t was a combination of team-
,vork, superior firepower and
;uts. that drove the North Ko
cans in the .Yongsan bulge as
ar back as the Naktong, killing
in estimated 1,500 and destroy-
ne large quantities of commu-
hist guns and supplies,
There was not much real es
tate involved seven miles at
tnost but the effect on both
American and North Korean mo
ale was tremendous.
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.
And every marine was willing
lo give a large share of the
credit to marine and air force
lanes, whose close air support

I All Close-in -
(There was no "pinpoint" gtra
egic bombing from high alti
tudes. It was i all close-In, vis
iial slugging that gave the Amer
icans a hellish weapon they util
feed most effectively. '
I The price was terribly high

high explosives used against the

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.
Nylon can now be made from
petroleum by a process using as
starting material cyclohexane,
which is first oxidized to adipic
acid.

The Anglo-Amerienn-Australfnn
move to force a show-riovvn on

climax of three years diplomatic

through its official Tass news

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

to investigate the Kremlin s state

from Russia. '
