2 HOMES RAZED
IN SPECTACULAR
HIGHWAY FIRE
Burn to Ground with Loss
Estimated Around
$14,000
Two homes on Glacier Highway
were burned to the ground in a
spectacular blaze late yesterday af
ternoon.
The fire was first discovered by
Chester Drake, owner of one of One
homes, who with a companion was
working on his house. He said it
started in the basement.
Drake said he battled the flames
until he saw It would be impossible
to control'the fire without help. He
then raced to the Civil Aeronautic
Administration office at the Juneau
Airport to summon help.
When he returned, the fire had
jumped the 12 feet separating the
Drake residence from that of John
Hagmeier and both were blazing.
The homes were on the Glacifer
Highway about one-quarter mile
south of DeHart's Grocery near
Auk Bay.
Only a few pieces of furniture
could be taken from the houses be
fore the heat of the blaze drove
volunteers away. Neither home
could be saved.
Spectators compared the fire to
the Juneau Spruce Corporation mill
fire a year ago.
Both homes were only partly cov
ered by Insurance.
Damage was estimated at about
$14,000.
Gordon Burnett, an employee of
radio station KINY, who was re
turning to Juneau, was one of the
first on the scene after the ffre
started. He said he entered the
Hagmeier home and made sure the
Hagmeier family was not in the
house. He then organized a chain
of volunteers who passed furnitlfTe
out of the house to safety.
Cars and trucks lined the high
way and more than 100 spectators
stood helpless as the blaze ate
through the two fcomes.

“We are particularly concerned

RUSSIAN IN LINES
_
By STAN SWINTON

j Korea, Aug. 18—‘Jfi—The elite North
, Korean Sixth Division—loaded with
I veterans of Red China’s army—in
filtrated through American lines in
the black night hours and attacked
through the foggy dawn west and
east of Haman.
Elements of the American 35th
and Negro 24th Infantry Regiments
fought back in bloody hand-to-hand
battles, fell back, and then coun
terattacked.
The North Koreans were driven
back from all three peal^s they had
seized opposite the 35th positions.
They were barely hanging on to a
single captured position ip front of
| the 24th.
On the 35th’s front the Reds ran
j back in groups of two or three to
| a village leaving 100 dead behind.
When 200 of them were seen en
; tering the village in disorder Lt.
| Frank Lamothe, New Orleans, had
| it shattered with 4.2 mortars, artil
| lery and an air strike.
Scores must have died as white
! phosphorous shells threw splashes
; of flame over the clapboard houses.
f1 Prisoners said a Russian officer
I was seen before the battalion attack
j against the 35th. A U.S. Intelligence
! officer said one Russian is known to
• be with the Reds’ Sixth Division,
i Some prisoners were 18-year-olds.
They said they were grabbed from
Seoul factories, given rifles, and
rushed to the front to replace Sixth,
Division men cut down by U.S. Ma
rines and Army Infantrymen in
Task Force Kean’s large scale at
tack last week.
On the sprawled bodies of North
Koreans on the three peaks retaken '
by the 35th were photos showing |
them in Chinese Red Army uni
forms. Several listed some addresses
in Manchuria.

HUSBANDS BY WAR
WOMAN GIVEN TWO
HAMBURG, Germany—■Ufl—Two
German officers met in a Russian
prison camp. They soon discovered
that they lived in the same German
town, in the same street, at the
same number—and had the same
wife.
This was how it came about, ac
cording to the Hamburg newspaper
■Abendblatt.” A German major, re
turning to the front from leave
in 1942, told his wife to marry again
if he were killed. Soon she was of
ficially told of his death in action.
Eighteen months later she mar
ried another officer. In due course
he was captured. But husband num
ber one had not been killed. He was
picked up on the battlefield by the
Russians. '
Finally through the painfully
slow communications from Russian
prison camps the wife learned of
her difficult position. She asked the
two men to wait until they are
back from Russia. Then, she says,
she will decide which one to keep
as her husband.
