ATTACK BY

whence Mustang fighters had been
taking off every ten minutes for
rocket and strafing blows at the
enemy.
Battle Wild One
The Poliang batlle was a wild one,
started by mountain-scaling Reds
supported by guerrillas — perhaps
3.000 men in all.
The seriousness of the situation
was indicated by the arrival there
of Li. Gen. Walton H. Walker, U.S.
8th Army Commander, and Maj.
Gen. Earle Partridge, U.S. Fifth
Air Force Commander, who flew
over the battle zone in a small ob
servation plane.
The threat was all the greater by
a new thrust of the Red Fifth Divi
sion in the area of Yongdok. 25
miles north of Pohang. Yongdok.
a rubbled port, once again is in Red
hands, and a sharp battle between
Communists and South Koreans was
in progress south of the city.
Massed Concentration
Inland on the central front an
American staff officer called the
Reds’ Naktong river buildup the
greatest massed concentration per
mile on the whole 140-mile battle
perimeter. The Red Fourth Division
strove desperately to enlarge its
bridgehead across the Naktong on
the southern flank of the Commun
ist line. At least two Red regiments,
possibly 6.000 men, crossed today
(Friday), supported by tanks and
some heavy artillery.
On the Chinju front in the south
Red troops slowed down their re
treat and struck back at the
Americans, whose main positions
were six miles from the Communist
base. On the southern wing of the
U.S. attack, the Reds made two co
ordinated attacks backed by heavy
artillery fire. Behind the advance,
Red troops trapped in a 100-square
mile area by the juncture of U.S.
columns fought desperately to beat
their way out and suffered heavy
casualties.
In the air, ri.E. Navy carrier
pilots Wednesday and Thursday
strafed 20 enemy troop concentra
tions, destroyed tanks and blew up
five bridges. Marine fliers gave
ground support at Chinju and re
ported a heavy toll of enemy infan
try and installations.
LATE BRIEFING REPORT
WASH»«rc>N, Aug. 11 — *» —
United Nations troops have been
deployed to contain the enemy
threat in the Pohang area of Ko
rea, Defense Department spokes
men said today.
Briefing officers said that reports
received here at 1:00 p.nt. (EST) to
day are conflicting about the exact
situation around the city, a prin
cipal secondary supply port for U.S.
forces.
The Army said that the Pohang
air field, which is six miles south
east of the city, is still believed to
be in United Nations hands. "But
we do not know if our planes can
operate from the field,” a spokes
man said.
(Front dispatches said U.S. planes
have been evacuated from the field.)
Briefing officers could not con
firm press reports from Korea ihat
Pohang city was in flames. "It is
safe to assume that the North Ko
reans are in the town,” Army offi
cers said, "but we don’t know how
much of Pohang the enemy con
trols.”
The report about large fires
burning in Pohang could have sig
nificance. as it is likely that some
quantity of U.S. supplies are in the
area.
These late Defense Department
reports indicated that the North Ko
rean force at Pohang includes two
regiments that have probably been
augmented by unknown numbers of
South Korean guerrillas.

j returned to Juneau where he
quietly spent the rest of his life.
, His friends remember him as a
! dignified and rather retiring gentle
man who was usually seen wearing
| a khaki bush-jacket and carrying
.1 cane or umbrella.
Mrs. Agnes Adsit. for a number
j cf years a neighbor of Mr. Brown's,
said that he listened to the radio
j only once as far as she knows.
'He came over one time to hear
the broadcast of a special event.
There was quite a bit of static
and he didn't like it, so he wasn't
■ interested in radios after that,”
she recalled.
Bought Records
Instead, he bought the best rec
ordings of the finest music he cotlld
find. More than 1.500 records, col
lected during his life, are now in
the Juneau Library to which he
gave them.
He never w'ent to a movie and
| had no desire to see one, according
I to Mrs. Adsit.
He got his amusement from
I books, instead: and all the books he
purchased—"mostly plays and his
tory, the best he could buy,” Mrs.
Adsit said—were added to the Ju
neau Library's collection after his
death, in accordance to his wishes.
His friends pay tribute to his
good neighborliness. They remem
ber his friendliness, his neatness,
and the way he shared the berries
he picked.
"He was always willing to help
someone else out. but very inde
pendent himself,” Mayor Hendrick
on said. "And making the city
beneficiary of most of his estate
showed he had a kindly interest
in the people of Juneau.”
Mayor Hendrickson said the city
will spend the funds Mr. Brown
gave it "on some project which Will
be a useful memorial to this pioneer
Alaskan.”
Such a “useful memorial” will be
the only memorial to Mr. Brown,
for the wish expressed in his will—
That my body be disposed of as
quietly as possible, either by cre
mation, sea burial, or in the woods,
unmarked . . ."—have been carried
out.
