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.

PAINTING TOWN DEPLORED
Knoxvllle, Tenn. itPiMrs. Ru
fus A. 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
