A Korean Jeep Journey Is Dusty, Rough, And Tiring
With U.S. Forces Korea—(U.P.) You can buzz down the 55 airline miles from Taegu southwest to Pusan by plane in about 20 minutes as GI's sav- "No sweat."
But make the same trip overland and you're sure to come down with a case of an anatomical ailment which the Army calls "Jeeps behind" and I can talk plainer than that.
A jeep journey from war-tain Taegu to the base port of Pusan takes about seven hours. It's made along what maps of Korea called "an all weather two lane highway." All weather is right. Nothing any weatherman ever dreamed up could possibly affect that road. There is a thin layer of topsoil covering the rock ribbedroadbed. Cabbage size boulders line the way like hobnails in a lumberman's boots.
A passenger on the back seat of a Jeep bounces until his teeth rattle. After a few hours you get tired of imitating a cocktail shaker.
The driver of our Jeep was Pfc. Ronnie Retz, 20, whose mother lives at (5730 Calumet Ave.) Hammond, Ind. Before he got in the army Ronnie drove a cab in Gary, Ind, and like most cab drivers he knew a short cut. Instead of the 116 miles of normal highway distance we only had to travel 93 miles and by taking the short cut we missed some of the hobnail boulders. Instead we had stairsteps which were worse.
As you drive south the steep bush covered hills get higher and soon you are winding through bantam mountains which rise to an average height of 2,000 feet. There is a good deal of military traffic and on each side of the road refuges stream.
Refugees become fewer as you move farther from the front but
there is still plenty of foot traffic. Women move gracefully carrying huge bundles on their heads and men carry their burdens on their backs with the aid of wooden frames — an oriental device for turning a human being into a pack-horse.
Kids stand by the roadside in hordes in wretched little villages and have a wonderful time. Naked little Korean boys with pauchn bellies yell and cheer each Jeep and truck. They salute and pat their mouths with their hands in a sign language request for candy and shout "victory."
Government Wants To Pay Vet $1,000, Does Not Know Where To Send Check
This hilly southeast corner of Korea would remind one of the Alleghanies if it were not for dirty villages with their one-story straw roofed buildings strung along roads and the native traffic policemen at each bridge and corner. The Korean traffic cop in action resembles a college cheer leader with a whistle in his mouth.
When a vehicle approaches, the driver indicates by hand motion the direction he intends to take. The cop then toots his whistle, pivots, gyrates his arms, and finally freezes into a birddog point toward the direction the driver would have taken anyway. They must practice weeks to perfect those arm motions.
Washington—U.P.)—If war veteran Russell David Sayan will stop moving around, or at least tell the U.S. War Claims commission where he is, he can pick up a check for more than $1,000.
The commission has the check all ready and waiting for Sayan, but it can't locate him at his old address in Mesa, Ariz.
The 33-year-old Sayan, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, was a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the Philippines when World War II broke out.
Sayan left the army after collecting back pay for his years in prison and went home to Mesa. Then Congress passed a law providing payment of a food allowance amounting to one dollar a day for every day an American serviceman spent in enemy prison camps on below-standard rations.

Sayun was entitled to slightly
Sayan's claim number is 8466, and his army serial number was 19048332. If he wants his money, he will have to write to the Executive Director of the War Claims commission, Washington 25, D.C., giving his old and new address, his claim number, and his signature to make sure the claim is genuine.
more than $1,000, and he filed a claim for it in January, listing his address as Rural Route 1, Box 767, Mesa. In July the War Claims commission sent his cheek to that address. It came back marked "Not Claimed." "not at this address."
