Reds Forced Back On Sniper Ridge
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—Alert South Korean soldiers shattered a Chinese attack force forming near Sniper Ridge today with an "iron curtain" of bullets while American night bombers handed the Reds' supply system one of the worst blows of the Korean war.
The ROKs loosened deadly rifle and machinegun fire on some 400 Chinese fanning out along the slopes of Sniper Ridge in an attempt to surprise South Koreans on Pinpoint Hill.
But the ROKs blunted the enemy advance and the Reds inched their way back to their hideouts on the northern tip of the ridge.
It was the biggest force the Reds have mustered in the open for several days. The Reds also tried several smaller attacks last night and today, but all were repulsed.
Two platoons of Chinese nuisance raiders probed ROK defenses shortly after dusk, but UN mortar and artillery fire stopped them before they could reach the South Korean trenches.
Today's largest toll of trucks was one of the most stunning blows ever delivered against enemy trucks by the B-26's.
U. S. B-26 Invaders wrecked 200 Red trucks moving to the front laden with supplies. Moving boldly with their headlights glaring, the trucks were an easy target for UN airmen.
Snow and rain grounded all but a few Allied warplanes during the day. UN pilots reported snow and rain over North Korea, as well as along the eastern part of the 155-mile battlefront. Most of the snow turned to slush during the day.

Medal Presented To War Veteran
A University student and Korean war veteran, Rex B. Garden, was presented with the Bronze Star medal by Col. E. F. Kume, commander of the ROTC unit on the campus, in simple ceremonies in the Military Science building this morning.
The citation, which accompanied the decoration, was given for "meritorius service in connection with military operations against an armed enemy in Korea during the period June 13, 1951 to January 30, 1952."
The citation continued.
"Lieut. Garden, serving as motor transportation officer, displayed a high degree of enthusiasm and outstanding skill while performing his duties in a superior manner. He supervised the battalion motor pool efficiently, maintaining a high standard of motor vehicular maintenance throughout his organizations.
"By evaluating the tactical advantages of discarded parts from enemy vehicles, he maintained vehicular movement at critical times when supplies and parts were not available for issue.
Lieut. Garden's outstanding ingenuity, initiative, and untiring devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service."
