Marines Cut Off At Reservoir Hold Hope For Evacuation
On Northeast Front, Korea (U.P.)—"Our boys are having a helluva fight. We didn't know how to withdraw. What we taught our men is how to attack."
So said Lt. Col. Fred Dowset of Annapolis, Md., operations officer of the U.S. Seventh marine regiment.
His battered regiment is one of three of the First marine division trying to break out of communist encrlement in the snow-covered mountains of northeast Korea.
The battle to reach the east coast for a probable Dunkerque evacuation was shaping up as one of the toughest in the history of the heroic marine corps. The marines are fighting for survival.
lig for survival.
Fifteen thousand men of the Fifth and Seventh marine regiments, British marine commandos and two U.S. Seventh division regiments began their fighting withdrawal through the communist lines from Hagaru at the southern tip of the Choson reservoir at dawn Wednesday.
They were supported by the greatest concentration of artillery ever to work with the marines and by a solid canopy of bullets, bombs and rockets from marine, navy and air force planes.
Under constant attack, the column fought its way through a valley of fire to the plateau at Koto, seven miles to the south.
There the Yanks linked up with the First marine division's first regiment of nearly 5,000 men.
At dawn today, the combined forces struck south against six or more Chinese divisions still barring the road to the coast, 35 miles away.
Ahead lay some of the most difficult fighting terrain in the world.

Children Are TV Slaves Child Experts Complain
Editor's Note: Robert R. Ball, College freshman, is now in Washington, D.C., attending the five-day Mid-Century White House Conference on Children and Youth.
Washington—(U.P.)-Child welfare experts were so upset about television Wednesday that they forgot their older gripes against comic books.
One panel of specialists at the five-day midcentury White House children's conference is concentrating on effects of "mass media" on the personality of youngsters.
Television is monopolizing the conversation. Some plugged the cultural aspects of the new medium but most protested that too many programs are "crashy" and children are being turned into TV slaves." There were occasional references to movies, radio, newspapers and advertising but these subjects were passed over lightly.
"We haven't said much about comic books," said a woman delegate at the close of a heated session. "I'm glad of it."
A moment later a man who had held his tongue through all the meetings stood up. "I'm not here to pressurize for anything, but—" he said, "yourself" shouted the
"identify yourself," shouted the audience.
he was Alex Raymond, creator of Flash Gordon and president of the National Cartoonist society. He said he was invited here by conference officials to discuss the influences of comics on children.
The man quietly announced that
He lectured the delegates for five minutes, saying among other things that it's wrong to forbid a child to read comic books.
"He'll bootleg them," he said. "Johnny is going to read comic books one-way or another."
He said comics can do "a lot of good" and it's up to parents and teachers who abhor the "cheap productions" to arouse public pressure for "a product you want your child to read."

Flat Tires Are No Fun On Cold Night
James Hops, business senior, is shaking his head today and wondering "how mean can one person get?"
"Well, well, Lad, what's this about your wanting to play basketball! Where'd ya find him Fred?"
Hops parked his car in the lot behind the Chi Omega sorority house Wednesday night and went to the basketball game in Hoch auditorium. When he returned to his car after the game he found that an unidentified culprit had let the air out of three of his tires.
Hops decided to brave the nearzero weather and to inflate his tires with a hand pump. He then discovered that the prankster had also removed the valve cores from his tires.
That was too much. Hops gave up and walked home in the cold, his only consolation lying in the fact that at least five other carowners had been visited by the prankster and were in the same predicament.
