PAGE EIGHT the Bend bulletin, bend, qregon MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1 95o OUT OUR WAY By J. R. Williams Now Improving On Korean Front i i By Harry Ferguson (United Press Foreign News Killtor) '. No nrmy is ever any better than the morale of the man in the front lines. The cheering news from Korea today is that the mo rale of the G.I. is on the up and up. After eight weeks of tough fighting against discoura g 1 n g odds he is beginning to see day light. He has confidence In his commander, Lt. Gen. Walton Walker, and admires the lightning way the high command has mov ed troops from one crucial sector to another. The G.I.'s now refer to themselves as "the rapid tran sit" army. The man have more confidence In their weapons. It is a cheering sight for them to see a super bazooka team lob a rocket into a communist tank and watch it explode in flame and smoke. Six weeks ago their rockets were bouncing off. Three Factors : The big upsurge in morale came last week. Three .things caused it: ' 1. The American victory in "the little battle of the bulge." The communists threw a good-sized bridge head across the Naktong river, 30 airline miles southwest of Taegu. Gen. Walker made one of his "rapid transit" shift of troops and threw a joint army marine counter-attack against the bridge-head. Almost every com munist soldier was driven back across the river or killed or cap tured. "American divisions and regiments that had been fighting u discouraging war for weeks finally tasted .. victory," reports United Press war correspondent Ralph Teatsworth from the field. "It was a sweet taste. . It gave them much heart for the bad bat ; ties ahead." . 2. The communists still hold the initiative, but their fire power has begun to decline. That Is par ticularly true of their artillery and mortar sf Ire. Two weeks ago the G.I.'s spent a great deal of time flat on their faces in fox holes because the enemy had them pinned down. But the tide is beginning to turn slowly now and one American officer summed up the situation With this wise crack: "I can' now walk around my command post without look ing for the nearest foxhole.", . U. S. Planes Effective 3. The United States air force on Wednesday sent 98 B-29s into ground-support action against communist , troops across the Naktong river. They put 1,000 tons of bombs Into a rectangle of 24 square miles. The G.I.'s stood on the opposite bank and watch ed the precision bombing, and be tween blasts Private Duane Tor- kelson of Riverside, Cal., spoke what all of them were feeling : "uod. those ' things look good Maybe when we get started north with that kind of ciose-support stuff, we won't have to fight any- thine but dead cooks." In short, the G.I.'s now feel that they are well-armed, that . they have close and effective air support and that their lives arc in the hands of a smart, resource ful general. They don't think they are going to win the war tomor row, next week or even next month. They know that there are tough days ahead. But they now tnink tney nave at least a riny fifty chance aganlst the enemy on any given day, and any good soldier win settle for tnat. l&JSjaCSSSftjr HEY.' HAVEN'T Xmf SOU FOOL.'

Johnson filed for divorce, charging that her husband, a painter, "got drunk and acted a fool by trying to paint his neigh bors' porches." ' By Robert Bennyhof (United Press Stan Correspondent) Tokyo, Aug. 21 UPi In a lot of ways this Korean war is just like all the others to the American GI, but In many others it's a lot different. The Americans In Korea sitll cuss the muggy heat and the steep Mils as they did during world war II in the South Pacific and the Philippines. They still complain about the mud and the dust and the eternal moving around Just like they did in Europe and North Africa, - They're still digging foxholes everywhere they go with the dif ference that sometimes you don't have to dig your own. Frequently you can get a South Korean to do lt for you. . This doesn't apply to GI's in the battle lines, but in areas close behind, where civilians have not yet been cleared out and which are frequently shelled, the prac tice is to hire a native to dig a foxhole for you. Example Cllel For example, during a month in Korea I had at least 10 foxholes dug for me by South Koreans at a cost of about 500 wan (about,. 30 cents) per hole. ' Speaking of money, the U, S. army will sell South Korean money to GI's at a rate of 1,800 wan to one GI dollar.' The wan Is larger than the American dol lar and made out of slicker paper. The GI's usually buy five bucks' worth, or 9,000 wan, which makes a wad in your pocket the size of a pocket novel folded in the middle. wan can be used to buy iruit, Korean watermelons, which look 'like the American va riety but comes as small as can- teloupes and as large as a rubber beach ball. When I first got to Korea you could buy three or four of these for 100 wan, but now the price has zoomed to as high as 500 per melon. You can also buy peaches and grapes most of them are green so far and a yellow melon which looks like squash' but tastes like ereen honeydew melon. The medics keep warning the' Ill's not to eat these things, Dut they do and nobody has died from it yet. The biggest difference between this war and the others is the almost total lack of what used to be called politely fraterniza tion" or romancing between .GI's and native women. Nn Romancing ; ;,';; In past wars this was almost immediate, whether the women were allies or enemies, and caused great commotion in many places. in Korea there is virtually none of this, i During 1 the month I roamed around South Korea I never saw one GI "Iraternizating" with a Korean girl, or even any thing remotely approaching. It . : The Koreans are not xlean like the Japanese and they always ap pear dirty and unkempt. This probably is because a large per centage of the South Korean pop ulation has been fleeing south for nearly .two months nowi -M Nevertheless., their appearance alone keeps the women, "and the GI's far apart. You almost never see a Korean, girl between the. ages of 14 and 21 along the roads or in tne villages. . They . must be somewhere, but you seldom see them. ., Medics warn that the venereal disease rate is extremely- high, in Korea. But It's the girls; appear ance rather than this' warning that has stopped the Gl'a. - .'.:',':'; t Agreement Ends v Telephone Strike Seattle, Aug. 21 UPi A one-year contract affecting 3,400 Washing ton telephone traffic employes was signed here at 4:30 a.m. to day, ending the threat of a strike against the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, Tacoma long-distance operat ors, out on strike since last Tues day, were ordered back to work immediately.
