needy students in Europe and Asia.
Every campus throughout the
country has a yearly drive to make
a contribution to this national or

The Houston and Beaumont
Hometown Clubs have recommend
ed old Lubbock Street to be re
named “Joe Routt Boulevard” in
honor of A&M’s first All-American
football player.
Jtoutt, guard on the famed 19.39
team, was killed during World War
II in the battle of the bulge.
Lubbock Street runs from the old
South Station post office, in front
of Kyle Field, to old Highway (i.
It has been divided into a two-lane
street with large trees, that once
lined the north side of the street,
down the center parkway.
The Houston Club passed a reso
lution asking the Athletic Council
to make the recommendation to
college authorities and the Beau

Visiting campuses for one or two
days, Miss Bettis meets with fac

work of the WSSF and helping
them plan their annual WSSF
drives or campus chest drives.
She was a member of the Na
tional Intercollegite Christian

Tokyo, Oct. 18—lT 1 )—The battle
for Pyongyang, capital of Red Ko
rea, began late today.
Racing columns of Americans,
British and South Koreans with
j tanks in the lead smashed through
i the last towns south and east of
Pyongyang and surged against a
defense line five to eight miles
from the capital.
P*ed Premier Kim II Sung’s Com-
munist forces, shattered and on the
run since the fall of Seoul three
weeks ago, at last were making a
stand.
Political considerations dictated
that. Pyongyang is the first capi
tal of a Russian satellite to come
under attack.
On the East coast, ROK (Repub-
| lie of Korea) troops captured the
twin industrial cities of Hamhung
and Hungnam 110 miles south of
the Manchuria border. Eighth
Aimy headquarters said the ROKs
were mopping up light holdout
Red forces.
General MacArthur’s headquar
ters said Pyongyang might fall
Wednesday night.
Officials Differ
Field dispatches, however, said
Eight Army headquarters officers
did not expect allied forces to
smash into the city before daylight
Thursday.
Two hard-rolling divisions, the
U. S. First Cavalry and the South
Korean First, were fighting des
perately for the honor of entering
Pyongyang first.
Maj. Gen. Hobart R. Gay’s cav
alry foot troopers rammed into
Yokpo, five miles south of the
capital.
Gen. Paik Sun Y'up’s ROKs were
eight miles southeast of Pyong
yang They were reported “squirm
ing with impatience.”
The depth and strength of the
Red Korean defense wall was not
known.

Allied air reconnaissance said no
fixed installations had been 0b-
served.
But Eig'hth Army headquarters
reported the Reds had massed
tanks around the city and were
laying 1 down artillery fire from
enternched positions.
Roads Crowded
Roads leading to the capital wore
reported clogged with Red inlan-
trymen streaming back to Pyong
yang. Generally they had put up
only short and half-hearted skir
mishes farther south and east
against the allied juggernaut.
The U. S. 24th Division, first in
Korea, was slicing west to capture
Chinnampo, the port of Pyong
yang.
It had roiled 78 miles in 24
hours in a desperate bid to pass
the First Cavalry and enter Py
ongyang first.
“We know they were hard hit
early in the war,” said Cavalry Lt.
Harvey R. Hager, Chester, Pa.
“There’s no other outfit we’d rath
er see get in ahead of us.
“But our First Cavalry has been
In constant contact with the ene
my for 92 straight days, longer
than any other American division
over here. We feel we have earned
the right to go in first.
“And we’re fighting to get there
first.”
First Cavalry tanks, vehicles and
troops clogged the dirt road
stretching north to Pyongyang.
The Cavalry was fighting in its
best tradition—first into Manila,
first into Japan, first to link up
the two allied beachheads in Ko
rea.
“Our orders are to get to Py
ongyang,” said Capt. Art West-
burg, Washington, D.C. “But it’s
a real race. Everybody is trying
to get into the act.”
There was no room, on that thin
dirt strip, for the trail-blazing 24th
Division to pass.
First in Front
AP correspondent Hal Boyle, at
the front, reported the First Cav
alry got the green light to Pyong
yang.
The 24th, which fought the bit
ter delaying action in South Ko
rea early in the war, was shunted
west.
The First Cavalry rolled north
as Task Force 777, a composite
name for its units—the Seventh
Cavalry regiment of General Cus
ter fame, the 77th Field Artillery
Battalion and the 70th Tank Bat
talion.
Lt. Col. William A. (Wild Bill)
Harris, a Texan from San Antonio,
led the flying column pf tanks,
mechanized infantry and artillery.
He rode in a jeep mounted v/ith
a .50 caliber machinegun. On the
hood rode a weatherbeaten caval
ryman saddle, symbol of the Sev
enth Regiment’s history. Harris
wore a yellow scarf, the regimen
tal colors.
“Have no fear, Garry Owen is
here,” Harris said, echoing a ral
lying cry from the regiment’s
drinking song.
East of the First Cavalry, the
South Korean First Division was
champing to fight into Pyongyang
ahead of, the Americans.
“We will push hard,” said Gen
eral Paik, a native of Pyongyang,
smashing a fist into his palm.
Seven Days, 80 Miles
The hard-bitten ROKs had fought
80 miles in seven days, almost
without rest. The South Koreans,
alternately bitter when recalling
the desperate fighting south of the
border and exultant at the turning
tide of battle, tore down Rod Ko
rean flags and kicked posters of
Joseph Stalin along the way.
“These are damned fine men,”
said Lt. Col. Robert T. Hazlett,
Ci’estline, Calif., senior American
advisei' with the South Korean
First Division.
Hard on the heels of the IT. S.
First Cavalry, elements of the Brit
ish Commonwealth Brigade fought
sharp actions, routing bypassed
Red forces. The Brigade, compos
ed of Scottish Highlanders, Eng
lish Midlanders and Australians,
overran Sariwon 35 miles south of
Pyongyang so fast that Red troops
were shot down as they attempted
to escape from their quarters.
Scot Highlanders charged’ an ap
ple orchard and routed holdout
Reds with clubbed guns and cold
steel.
Allied forces captured more than
5,000 Red Korean troops in 24
hours, MacArthur’s headquarters
said. The total bag of POWs has
mounted to more than 70,000.
Reds Bypassed
But there was trouble far behind
the lines.
MacArthur’s headquarters said
bypased Red Koreans had stormed
out of the hills and retaken a half
dozen cities and large towns. The
Reds held Koehang, Kunsan,
Chongju, Muju, Samchok and Utch-
in, in widely scattered points of
South Korea. The situation at the
southwest coast port of Mokpo was
uncertain.
About 15,000 Red troops were
concentrated around Mokpo, a
spokesman said.
The Reds looted and pillaged.
They killed South Korean civilians
and ambushed supply columns.
Allied fighter-bombers struck at
Red targets along the Pyongyang
battlefront. B29s smashed supply
and communications points, includ
ing the Namgung arsenal east of
Pyongyang. They encountered
heavy flak. Some were damaged,
but all returned safely to their
base.
