H la TRAGIC. It wrings our hearts. But It tells us something- about our country we need tp know. It haa to do with Platoon Ser geant Jerome T. Bears, of Port land, Oregon, and Corporal Elmer A Scott, of Nunlca. Michigan. Their platoon was under attack In the grim hills of Korea. With Chi nese artillery laying down a car pet barrage, communist Infantry In overwhelming force attacked the American position.

But. msteaa 01 wun drawing themselves, they slipped ls the sldo of the hill and opened lire on the Chinese to DRAW 'THEIR FIRE while we pulled out " "Although both were badly wounded, thev continued to fire on the advancing enemy. When last seen alive, they were fighting hand to hand with a group of Chinese, sildlers." Our platoon pulled back. A eoiinter-barrngn was called for. Our artillery blasted the commu nists. On the heels of It. our men charged back up the hill with bavonet fixed and drove off the Chinese, thus pulling victory out of defeat.. . ,, , They found the dead bodies of Scott and Sears. Heroes? Ycsl A thousand times yosl But they were more than that. They were LEADERS. The busi ness of a leader la to look out for his people. Scott and Scars did that.

Later on this aumirfer the number of prisoners may be upped to around 150 or so.
