Korea, Aug. 19 (Delayed) UB The hills leading northward along this valley burst into flame for miles on the dot at 6 o'clock this morning, and an allied regi ment drove the Chinese from a controlling mountain position In a spectacular sunrise action. Chinese casualties were ex tremely heavy. The captured hill has observ ation and fire power control over two valleys. It and two other hills still under attack lead to a great hill mass, held by the Chinese, which dominates the entire terrain for many miles. Behind this mass is said to be the greatest concentration of Chinese armies on the entire front. We went to the front in the light of a full moon, starting at 4 a.m. We passed a gun emplacement, then immediately below us in the moonlit valley we saw the UN troops standing quietly awaiting the word to advance. Along the roadside were the tanks. The valley was utterly quiet As the first thin light of dawn paled the moon, a bird sang clearly. A shrill whistle came over our head. The big guns had started fir ing. The whistles increased in intensity. We could not hear the explosions, only the whistling. Suddenly the dimly-seen ridge line opposite us lit up like gigantic neon tube. The skyline! was afire. I The 'T O T)) time on target opening salvo had landed. They were synchronized to land together along the entire area. The skyline was ablaze with the red flame of high explosive bursts and the white fury of phosphorus. The ground shook under us. The barrage was over in 10 minutes. There was a sudden complete silence again. It was broken when a young male s-oice said calmly: "Let's go." The infantry moved forward, up the hill and onto the ridge opposite. As the light Increased, we saw the men on top of the ML firing downward on the hill ahead. Then the tanks moved ahead. The enemy recovered from the daze of the first barrage and started delaying action fire with machine guns and mortars from strongpoinU. Artillery observers with the infantry spotted the strongpoints one by one and radioed buck their position to the artillery. The staccato of machine guns sounded continuously. Tracer bullets made orange arcs against the morning sky. The big guns fired again, shooting over our heads. The tanks opened up with ear-splitting fire. The closeness of our own fire, and the Chinese mortars, made the front line positions of the attacking troops untenable and they withdrew to the tank po sitions. But soon an officer with a portable radio was able to send back word to headquarters that the troops had taken two days' objectives, in their limited of fensive, in one morning. Seeks to Avert Boxcar Shortage Portland, Aug. 21 W James K. Knudson, defense transport administrator, was here today to confer with industry representa tives in an effort to head off "a very serious freight car shortabe that may run for several months." Knudsen said the interstate commerce commission, of which he is a member, is prepared to take drastic steps to cope with the situation. He told ICC officials and lumber and grain men from five states that there has been no car shortage in the northwest lumber industry for several months. Actually there has been surplus, he said. Knudson declared that this surplus has caused some ship pers to send their products by round about rail routes, divert ing them from one point to an other until the market price be came more favorable. ICC agents have been alerted to watch for such practices, he said. Knudson said that grain starting to back up at shipping points again, and that a permits system is now in effect. It is de signed partly, he said, to pre vent storage of grain in freight cars. South Bend. Ind .

Idle Loggers Urged To Harvest Crops Oregon loggers, left idle by the dry weather forest closure, were urged Tuesday to take their families into the orchards, bean fields and hop yards and help save the crops.

Flow of Columbia Increasing at Dam Seattle, Aug. 21 VP) Flow of the Columbia river at Grand Coulee dam has been decreasing at a rapid rate the past few weeks, the Bonneville power ad ministration reported today. Its flow last week averaged 126,000 second-feet, as compar ed with 181,000 second-feet the previous week. The drop was caused partly by storage opera tions upstream at Kootenay lake. Although the flow is still a little above average for this per-1 lod of the year, a continued de crease at such a rate could mean a serious power shortage in fu ture months, the administration said. On several rivers west of the Cascades the flow was below average for this period, although the decrease was a slower rate than that of eastern Washington rivers.
