Story of Slingshot Takes
Dick Applegate Up To Front
By RICHARD APPLEGATE
With the 1st Marine Div., Ko
rea U.PJ The story of the
slingshot brought me up to this
part of the front. That's right
a slingshot.

Hear Draft Call
Washington (U.R) The
stepped-up pace of draft calls
"eventually" may force the gov
ernment to start tapping 19-year-olds
for service, a Selective
Service spokesman said Tues
day. The Army set the pace for
higher draft calls Monday when
it ordered Selective Service to
induct 4,700 men in October,
the largest draft call since last
February.
Draft calls are expected to
continue at about the same rate
for the next several months be
cause of the Army's need to re
place men who were inducted
after the outbreak of the Korean
war and who are now becoming
eligible for release from service.
New Atomic Energy
Plant To Be Built
Washington (U.R) The
Atomic Energy Commission will
build a new $1,219,000,000 ex
plosives plant between Wake
field and Piketon in. Pike Coun
ty, Ohio, it was learned Tuesday.
The site will be about 18-20
miles north of Portsmouth in
Southern Ohio. It will be on the
Scioto river which flows into
the Ohio river at Portsmouth.
The new plant will be a giant
gaseous diffusion works nearly
twice as large as the atomic ex
plosives plant built in wartime
at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
It will be the major new atom
ic facility to be built under a
$3,500,000,000 expansion pro
gram on which the AEC is now
embarked.
Locally Owned Horse
Appaloosa Winner
Calvin W. Briley's horse Bud
took a second-place ribbon last
week during the Appaloosa horse
show as Quincy, Calif. Briley,
Box 234, Phoenix, is a director
of the nationwide Appaloosa
Horse club.
Briley's horse was entered in
the two-year-old halter class.
Horses were entered from all
over the western part of the
United States. The Appaloosa
show was part of the Plumas
county fair.
The Appaloosa dates back
farther than any other living
horse, according to experts. The
horse ig used today for nearly
all purposes, according to Mrs.
Briley. They are gentle enough
to make good riding horses, yet
are very powerful and are good
workhorses.
It sounds like a ridiculous
weapon for a modern war. But
this war isn't so modern, any
way, old soldiers say. They say
it is a lot more like World War
I than World War II
Fitting Idea
So the slingshot seemed like
a fitting idea. Especially when
you consider that eight men
stretching a rubber inner tube
over the fork of an old tree can
heave grenades right into the
Chinese lines.
Capt. Howard Connolly, New
York, was fiddling with the
slingshot when I got to the
front, sweating in a plastic body
armor vest and tin hat.
"Trouble with this damn
thing," Connolly said a bit
moodily, "is that I've just found
out than I can throw grenades
farther with my hand and come
a lot closer to what I'm aiming
at."
Used for C-Rationt
They used the slingshot to
throw C-rations into forward
posts, too. But they knocked
that off when they beaned one
of the men. with a box.
"We got trouble enough up
here with enemy mortar without
our own guys slapping us on the
head with rations," Connolly
said. .
Allies Apologize
For Jet Flights
Over Panmunjom
Panmunjom, Korea. (U.R)
The United Nations "admitted
Tuesday that "in all probabil
ity" Allied jet planes entered
the Panmunjom neutral zone
Sunday and apologized for the
incident.
In a written reply to a Com
munist protest, senior U.N.
liaison officer Col. Charles W.
McCarthy said, "our side will
make continued efforts to pre
vent occurrences of this type."
Note Only Activity
The note was handed to the
Communists at a meeting be
tween liaison officers, the only
activity at the truce camp. The
armistice talks are in another
one-week recess, called Monday
by the Allies for the third time
in as many weeks on grounds
the Reds have offered nothing
new in the deadlocked discus
sions on prisoner exchange.
The U.N. said in its note of
apology that "it appears at
least two and possibly three jet
type aircraft flew over the con
ference site area at approximate
ly 1900 hours on 10 August,
1952."
