SPECTACULAR SUNRISE ACTION
Newsman Tells How Outfit
Drove Reds Off High Point
By FEANK H. BARTHOLOMEW
Kumhwa. East-Central Front. 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.

An anonymous benefactor has
offered to pay the way at the
University of Notre Dame of any

U. S. military academy.
The Rev. John J. Cavanaugh.
president of the University, in
announcing the offer today said
it stitpulated that those who

any form of varsity athletics and
that they need the financial
help.
It is good for one or all of
the 90 cadets dismissed for viola
ting the academy's honor code
by trading examination informa
tion. Father Cavanaugh said. He
estimated the cost per year at
$1,350 to SI. 400 per student.
Those who wish to take ad
vantage of the offer must get
touch with the director of
admissions by Sept. 1 as regis
tration begins Sept. 11, Father
Cavanaugh said.
Father Cavanaugh quoted the
donor as saying:
'Because I feel with millions
that in the American tradition
man who makes a mistake
should have a reasonable chance
to rehabilitate himself I make
this offer to the cadets, athletes
and non-athletes, who have been
recently detached from the U. S.
military academy.
I shall pay the board, room
and tuition of the young men.
Catholic or non-Catholic, among
them who wish to enter the
University of Notre Dame with
the understanding that they
meet Notre Dame standards and
academic requirements, that
they need such help, and that
these young men will not par
ticipate in any form of varsity
athletics."

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.
Earl R. Lovell, director of the
state employment service, said
loggers could use their idle time
to earn many extra dollars and
help alleviate the shortage of
8,000 harvest workers.
He declared the Salem office
could use 1000 bean pickers now
and 300 hop pickers within two
weeks, while Eugene, Lebanon
and McMinnville areas are also
short of help.
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.
C.W.Hamblin

Dr. Chester W. Hamblin, pas

ed a ministerial call from the
Palo Alto, Calif., First Presby
terian church.
Official notice will be given
the Salem church board Tues
day night.
Just when Dr.. Hamblin will
sever his connections with the
Salem church will not be de
termined until he had had an
opportunity to discuss the mat
ter with his official board.
No announcement concerning
a successor is expected to be
made for some time.
