PUSH OF WAR

identified as in action, has beaten
off a Communist attack.
The Communist radio at Pyong
yang, North Korea, said Red coastal
batteries have sunk an American
warship off Yosu, a port the Reds
say they have captured. It is on a
peninsula, 20 miles south of Sun
chon, which in turn is 18 miles be
hind the farthest point of advance
of the Reds on the dangerous south
ern front. There the Americans have
begun attacking. American patrols
here pushed elements of the Red
Fourth Division back in the vicinity
of Haleng, MacArthur’s summary
said.
The Americans are reported ready
to enter Hadong when the town,
only 70 miles from the U.S. supply
port of Pusan, stops burning.
Tanks Knocked Out
About 35 miles to the northeast
South Korean troops mounted a
sudden -and vigorous counterattack
northwest of Hamchang. driving
Communist forces back seven miles.
American planes gave the South
Koreans effective support, knock
ing out two of five tanks in a Red
column.
South Koreans also attacked suc
cessfully on the east coast below
Yongdok. some 25 miles north of the
American-held beachhead at Po
hang.
The main battle was shaping up
swiftly in the central sector. A com
munique from Eighth Army head
quarters said about 200 North Ko
reans slipped behind an infantry
regiment position in the 25th Di
vision’s sector, but U.S. planes were
believed to have eliminated this,
threat.
The U.S. First Cavalry braced
itself for the shock of the new Red
attack east of- Yongdong.
Gen. MacArthur was near the
front as the first phase of the new
Red offensive developed. The U.N.
commander, who arrived in com
plete secrecy, announced himself
never more confident of ultimate
victory, although he warned that
“we will have new heartaches and
new' setbacks.”
MacArthur hailed the decisions of
other U.N. nations to send in ground
forces. He expressed pleasure that
once again he would be in associ
ation with troops of the British
Commonwealth as he was during
World War II. The U.N. commander
has returned to Tokyo after his
conferences.

DO YOU WANT A SAWMILL IN JUNEAU, OR DON'T YOU, - that is not an
academic question. The situation is this; the Juneau Lumber Company started to oper
ate without sufficient capital to complete construction. The mill is swamped with orders
and is unable to fill them because of the need of mony to buy logs, meet the payroll, pro
duce the lumber, make shipment and await payment.
»
The present output is 30 to 35 thousand board feet per day. At $70 per thousand,
the going price of lumber, this is $2,100 gross production daily.
THE MILL EMPLOYS 40 MEN. THE PAYROLL IS AROUND $18,000 PER
MONTH. Whether this payroll continues or whether it does not will depend upon the
response of those who have money - much or little - who will dip in and buy slock right
now. : j
The new Board of Directors took over on July 17th with the belief that the public
would respond to the call for additional funds rather than see the fine effort of the pres
ent owners, who started the project, fail because of the lack of local support. It is the
considered opinion of the Board of Directors that this operation cannot continue without
additional help.
WE MUST HAVE $75,000! We have made substantial progress towards this goal.
We suggest to those who have already invested, either in common or preferred stock, that
to save your investment you take an equivalent amount of common stock now being of
fered and encourage others to join you. »!
The Board is convinced that with $75,000 additional capital a profitable business
operation can be maintained. . _ L
f
We raised $300,000 for a building to house federal agencies. We should be able to
raise $75,000 lo continue an industrial payroll which we all realize we need.
The Board is giving unstinted effort to accomplish its purpose, but the response
must be immediate to be successful.

b. That there be deposited in escrow in The B. M. Behrends Bank of Juneau, $75,

c. That I may withdraw my escrow deposit in the event that said sum is not so
