ROK's Gain Hill In 24-Hour Battle
Seoul —(U.P.)— South Korean infantrymen recaptured a strategic height southeast of Kumsong today, hurling Chinese Communist troops off the crest in the climax of a hand-to-hand battle that lasted nearly 24 hours.
The battle for the UN advance position on the east-central front started yesterday when two Red assault forces hit the outpost.
The fighting raged all night, with the ROKs gradually giving ground to the Reds despite support from UN tanks.
Later, UN warplanes were called to bomb and strafe the Chinese. One thousand bombs, as well as flaming napalm, fell on the attackers at half-hour intervals for four hours until noon when bad weather halted the air attacks.
Meanwhile, the ROKs regrouped around the foot of the hill and prepared for the surge that culminated in recapture of the height.
The battle was the heaviest fought, this year on the east-central front.

Students Urge Bill Amendment
Student organizations from the University and Kansas State college have sent letters to the state legislature urging amendment of a bill which would enable the two schools to build dormitories, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said today.
The original bill introduced in the House of Representatives asked authority to invest inactive funds from the University and Kansas State, the chancellor said.
Letters have been sent by students and other groups urging amendment of the bill to make it possible for the two schools to issue revenue bonds against the funds.
