“Hell Of Licking”

was a disorderly one. Some of the
dead communists left behind ap
parently had belonged to the Chi
t
nese communist army. The Reds
attacked at dawn, won some
ground, and then lost it all by
night.
The Americans threw their 45
ton Pershing Tanks into the coun
ter-attack on the north central
front. The U. S. 27th Regiment
and the South Korean First Divi
sion carried the thrust. The Red
threat, three divisions strong, had
emerged Phoenix-like from the
area drenched with bombs by U.
S. B-29’s Wednesday. They had
driven south from Kunwi, 25
miles north of Taegu, and cap
tured Kumwha, 13 miles north of
the emergency capital.
Grim Doughboys attacked with
the knowledge of new Red atroc
ities. A massacre of 39 U. S. pri
soners of war was discovered
Thursday on Hill 303, bloody po
sition recaptured by the U. S. 1st
Cavalry Division. The victims’
hands and feet were tied. Three
American soldiers who survived
teh massacre identified two Red
prisoners as having been among
the group which carried out the
executions.
The U. N. forces scored their
most impressive victory on the
Changnyong front southwest of
Tisu, where Marines and 24th In
fantry Division troops gained up
to three miles. More than a bat
talion—1,000 men—of commun
ists fled back across the river.
Some Reds voluntarily crossed to
U. S. lines and surrendered.
An official spokesman for the
24th Division said the combined
American, forces had driven to a
point where they could command
all the strategic ground in the
Changnyong bend of the river,
and they expected to reach the
river bank during the night.
American and Aus t r a 1 i a n
planes flew more than 500 sorties
Friday, mostly in support of
ground troops, and claimed de
struction of 13 Red tanks and
large amounts of equipment. B-29s
went out in force to strike at the
North Korean communicatio n s
system.

Arrest Ex-Navy
Employee For
Espionage
LAREDO, Texas, (/P) — Morton
Sobell, 33, a civilian who once
worked for the navy, was arrested
here today on charges of giving
defense secrets to Russia.
He was taken to the Webb
County jail, where several pm,,
agents began questioning him
closely.
Authorities would not immedi
ately reveal details of how Sobeli
was deported from Mexico and of
his arrest at this border city.
Sobeli was the eighth person ar
rested in a roundup of Americans
accused of passing atom bomb and*
other secret to a Soviet spy ring.
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover
said that Sobeli fled from the
United States in June to avoid ar
rest.
He was arrested at Laredo when
deported from Mexico City back
to this country.
Sobeli was employed on re
stricted work for the U. S. navy
at the General Electric plant at
Schenectady, N. Y., from 1942 to
1947.
He is accused of having collab
orated with the other Americans
previously arrested in obtaining *
defense secrets during that period.
Since he is charged with espion
age conspiracy in wartime, Sobeli
—like the others similarly accus
ed—faces a possible death penal
ty.
service units from some of the
outlying bases had been sched
uled July 1 as an economy mea
sure. ' .
The affected units were service,
not combat organizations.
