ROK's Lose, Win Vital Sniper Ridge
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—South Korean infantrymen recaptured Pinpoint hill on Sniper ridge today, killing an estimated 1,200 Chinese soldiers who churned through mud to win temporary control of the strategic central front height.
Troops of the Republic of Korea 2nd division counted 654 bodies and estimated 600 more were sprawled in the mud on both the northern and southern slopes.
"We chopped up the better part of two battalions," a South Koream regimental commander said.
Late reports from the Sniper ridge sector indicated that the two Chinese battalions, approximately 1,500 men, smashed their way into a neatly-laid South Korean trap.
An officer said the Chinese attacks last night were "human sea attacks but slippery footing threw their intensity off balance."
Throughout the night, the South Koreans remained in contact with forward elements of the attacking Chinese. At midnight, the Reds repulsed a ROK counter-attack.
The South Koreans returned to

Red Surge Splits French Retreat
1 "The Presentation"
2 "Modern Promotion"
Hanoi, Indo-China — (U)P)— The Communists today hurled three Chinese-equipped and trained divisions—one-half the regular Red forces available in Indo-China—at French forces retreating under the heaviest assault of the year against the French Hanoi perimeter.
French official communiques admitted that the rebels have driven a 70-mile wide wedge between the Hanoi perimeter and French Union forces in the isolated mountain area
LOST OUR LEASE PRICES CUT
Pilots flying over the rugged 40-mile front said French rearguards were exacting a heavy toll of hundreds of the black-uniformed Communists who were seeking to exploit their greatest success of the year.
Military sources said the present action is one of the most critical of the seven-years Indo-China war.
The French line of retreat is separating the hard pressed forces farther and farther from the French headquarters at Hanoi.
French officers said the strength of the Vietminh attack showed that the rebels had taken advantage of the summer rainy-season lull to re-equip and perfect the training of their forces, with Chinese Communist assistance.
ONLY FOUR MORE DAYS LEFT TO SHOP
The Athletic board of the University has paid tribute to the many years of service given it by Dr. W. W. Davis, professor of history, who retired from the board last summer.
Until about 1946, there was plenty of room to spare in both the dormitories and the scholarship halls, Mr. Youngberg pointed out. Several factors contributed to the scarcity which came in the post-war years.
Endowment Secretary Cites Reasons for Housing Demand
This explanation for the present lack of available student quarters was offered today by Irvin Young-Andrews, president of the Endowment association.
The most obvious was the huge enrollment of veterans on the GI bill. In addition to that, women began enrolling in increasing numbers right on through the peak of the post-war rush.
The University is in hot water over student housing today because nobody foresaw the tremendous demand for housing which has developed since the end of World War II.

Karl Klooz, secretary of the Athletic board, sent to Dr. Davis "a resolution of appreciation for your many years of service as faculty representative to the Big Six and the last fifteen years as chairman of the board.

Zoology Students See Pictures of Mexico
Until that time, students had been rather reluctant to live in a dormitory. They preferred to live, instead, in private homes or in sorority or fraternity houses.
"You gave generously of your time and energies, often at great sacrifice, therefore: Be it resolved by this board that we extend to you, Prof. W. W. Davis, tickets to all athletic events as long as he desires them, and our sincere thanks and best wishes."
Color slides of the desolate country and isolated mountain ranges of Mexico and the animals inhabiting them were shown to the Zoology club Tuesday night by Dr. R. H. Baker, assistant director of the Museum of Natural History.
The increased enrollment of the post-war years created a demand for rooms in Corbin, Watkins, and Miller halls. A large number of students found that group living wasn't so bad after all, and the

popularity of this type of living grew.
The enrollment continued to grow, Mr. Youngberg said, until it had outdistanced the existing housing facilities. In an attempt to meet the demand, the Endowment association purchased several large residences in the city of Lawrence and nearby city of Menon's residence halls; Monchonsia, Kanza, Carruth, Hopkins, Templin, and one of the Lockesale.
"We acknowledge that these living quarters are inadequate, and it is the type of situation that exists in these halls that we are determined to correct, and are correcting as fast as possible," Mr. Youngberg said.

Drug Injection Prevents Polio
Cleveland — (U.P.) - Injections of gamma globulin have been shown to give children marked protection against poli for at least five weeks
The finding was based on controlled tests involving some 55,000 youngsters in three infantile paralysis epidemic areas. It was reported to the 80th annual meeting of the American Public Health association by Dr. William D. Hammon of the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Hammon said there were indications that gamma globulin was useful in modifying the severity of the case. He said that half of the injected children who developed paralytic polio were completely recovered within 30 days. None of the cases among the control group—which received a harmless and inactive gelatin injection—had recovered in that period.
The tests were carried out under a $1,000,000 grant from the National foundation for infantile paralysis in the areas of Provo,Utah; Houston, and Sioux City, Iowa. The Utah test was made in September, 1951, and the other two in July of this year.
