Korean Reporter Learns To Pray After Escapes
Bv H. D. QUIGG
Seoul, Korea, Oct. 19 — (U,P) — George Suh at 25 had never been to church. But after ten weeks of narrow escapes from the communists he raved thankfulness. "I'm not a baptised Christian," he said, "but I prayed for the first time on top of a mountain near Taejon. I thanked God for my safety and asked God to bless the families who had prayed for me."
That was while George was walking south from Seoul in an attempt to reach American lines. A native Korean reporter for United Press in the capital, he had remained there during ten weeks of the North Korean invasion while the enemy sought his arrest. Then he fled south.
In Seoul his sister and a girl friend prayed for his safety. When he reached Pyongtaek, 35 miles south of Seoul, he stayed with a friend who had six daughters. They started praying for him when he left. The friend had eleven families of relatives in Pyongtaek. They also prayed.
Somewhere south of Taejon George began to suspect Americans had made a landing in the north—actually they had made the Inchon landing three days after he left Seoul—so he turned back—walking along the same road he had come down on.
When he got back north of Taenjon he met a young man on the road who told him the American forces had landed in Inchon and there was
a battle going on at Suwon, 17 miles south of Seoul.
"I was glad to know that," George said, looking happy. "I walked twice as fast toward the north. When I got back to Pyongtaek I went to my friend's house again."
The friend was a political Rightist. Communist police had been watching his house. They saw George enter one afternoon and the next day they came to the house and arrested him.
"They questioned me for nine hours." George said. "They said I must be an officer in the South Korean army and they threatened to torture me."
The head of the police was about to beat him with a Japanese wooden training sword when two policemen who had been to the fighting front to the north came in and began talking about the American tanks. The police chief got so interested he forgot to beat George who later was released. He went back to his friend's house and the police sent home guards every day to check up on what he was doing.
what On the night of September 26, a cavoy of American troops entered the town from the south. George found out later that communist police had planned to enter his friend's home and massacre every body in it. The surprise of the Americans had prevented that.
English Town To Prime Kansas Pump
"Policemen and home guards changed into white clothes, threw their rifles away or buried them and left town," George said.
Olney, England, Oct. 17—(U.P.)The town of Olney was ready to draw a pail of water from the parish pump today to prime the pump in Liberal, Kans.
The Liberal Chamber of Commerce is installing a town pump to commemorate the days when pioneers stopped off to water cattle on the way west.
The chamber asked Rev. Ronald Collins, vicar of Olney, to send enough water to "Prime the pump with international friendship" in the unveiling ceremony.
The vicar said everything was ready and that he personally would work the pump at 11:30 a.m. (5:30 A.M. CST) Thursday and bless the water during the evening service at his church Oct. 22 before sending it on to Liberal.
It will not be the first cooperative venture between Olney and Liberal. On Shrove Tuesday, women of the two towns held an international pancake day race which—according to figures kept here—ended in greater glory for England.
