t i * Surrounded by Ike Enemy . . . Wounded, Battle Fatigued Marines Face Cold, Guns By TOM STONE Koto, Korea, Dec. (j—DP) Tittle Koto was a darkened tent city to night of courageous U. S. Marines and soldiers whose fate rests with providence. They arc surrounded by over whelming forces of a determined enemy. They are burdened with crip pled tanks, vehicles and guns. They are half frozen from bit terly cold winds that sweep in from the frigid plateau. They are wounded and bleeding from battle. But they are not defeated and they certainly are not disheartened. They are confident they can and will fight their way out in the best American tradition. Bel ween (hem and survival is is a narrow, frozen mountain road that leads to safety. But in the snow-covered hills, on eith er side are the enemy—Lying in wait for the day for freedom they know must come. “We will suffer heavy losses. The enemy greatly outnumbering us.

Our vehi cles may not get through, but we will make it somehow.” Thus spoke? Col Lewis Puller, the tough little commanding officer of the First Marine Regiment which now appears to hopelessly trap ped here. Seven miles north of here lies the mountain hamlet of Hagaru. It is on the- south end of the great Chosin (Changjin) reservoir that spreads over the land like a giant mirror. And at Hagaru is the same sit uation—an American force sur rounded by overpowering enemy Noted Writer Scheduled As WF Speaker Dr. Frederick K Stamm, distin guished speaker on the NBC radio series, “Highlights of the Bible,” and author of If This Be Religion, will speak at the A&M Methodist Church tonight at 6:15 and 7:15.

Less than one week ago Ma rines and soldiers were driving i towards Manchuria along both j sides of the reservoir. They were racing through a beaten enemy—The Red army ! of North Korea. It was a mailer of running to the border and calling a halt. But suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, came thousands of Chin ese. Their surprising entrance stunned the Democratic world. They overpowered the U. N. forces by sheer weight, the tide turned. Yesterday along the countryside the evidence tells the story. Amer ican dead lie in fields and ditches. On the roads sprawl the wrecked and burned hulls of American ve hicles and guns. Instead of an offensive opera tion this is a desperate defensive fight for survival. The hills immediately surround ing Koto and Hagaru are dotted with red, yellow, blue, green and white parachutes, used . to drop food and supplies to the cut-off troops. And there is plenty. Supply is not a problem. The only problem is how to crash through an over whelming force. War Hymn (Continued from Page 2) ably fit any athletic event by not pointing toward any certain rival.

Though we did not talk with him ourselves, we were told that “Pinky” Wilson asked that the same thing be done when he was j on the campus for a class reunion j j the weekend of the Rice game. He- | was somewhat surprised that pre- I sent day students did not know that the verse quoted above was tiie original first verse to the song 1 and that it was sung by Aggies \ for many years. This first verse would easily clear up any confusion caused , by the verse sung now. And the pre sent one could be reversed spec ifically for .competition with the J University.) Publication of Tax List Was Tll-advisetT Editor, The Battalion; The recent publication of the delinquent tax list (including 30 cent and 50 cent debts) by the city of College Station was very ill- advised and a backward step in a supposedly progressive cbmmun- I ity. j The confidence and support of 1 many not included on the list has !been weakened. ■ Robert H.

G—<2P)—Presi dent Truman and Prime Minister Attlee were reported today to be studying intensively the impact of Korean reverses on their military and political positions throughout the world and their policies toward Communist China. The extent to which they should go in the United Nations in brand ing the Chinese Red regime as an aggressor and advocating action against it’ was understood to have been among the, subjects which may have developed real differ ences . in the American and Brit ish viewpoints. Qualified informants said the two leaders had agreed on the im mediate course they would follow in the United Nations in respect to Red China. But this apparently meant only that the two had re affirmed their governments’ sup port of a pending resolution de manding that the Chinese Com munists pull their troops out of Korea. The issue of branding Red China as an aggressor goes far beyond that. It raises a question of what the United Nations would be pre pared to do about an aggression charge. Among American officials there has been some talk of trying Skirt Tales — (Continued from Page 2) Cotton Bowl. We who won’t lie back will never forget you for a minute no matter where we are. The. spirit certainl gets you. Mascot Campaign Our campaign for a mascot for TSCW is progressing. Of course you’ve heard about it. We see no reason, why we shouldn’t have one, too. Everything has been suggest ed from an Aggie to a white rat. We promise their being named to gether is purely coincidental. We’re thinking of a gazelle or a duck or a professor. Maybe the Aggies have some original sug-1 dash off to us in the form of a letter to the editor of the Daily I.ass-0. Just omit suggesting a cat- please. Now that we’ve nil had otir holi days, I suppose the profs will ex pect us to do some work. As a matter of fact, I’m quite, sure they will, and are, doing just that. Life is so unfair. But, we must all pre serve the “A” averages', so here’s lighting the midnight lam]). to get a U. N. blockade of the China coast or to call for political and economic sanctions. The British, whose basic Far Eastern policy is described as be ing to avoid any further involve ments in conflict with the Chinese, are understood to regard such ideas unfavorably. Britain recog nizes Red China, the United States does not. Prime Minister Attlee may throw some light on the closed door talks in a luncheon speech he is scheduled to deliver at the Na tional Press Club here today (about 12:30 p.m. EST), following his third talk with the President, beginning at 11:30 a.m. EST. Aides expected he would stress the British view that U. N. moves in the Far East should not lie per mitted to weaken plans for the build-up of anti-Communist de fenses in Europe. In this connection it was report ed that, Attlee believes the imme diate appointment of a supreme commander for the projected Al lied army in Western Europe would prove a groat boost to European morale and do much to offset the effect of the reverses which the U. N. forces have suffered in Ko rea. He is prepared to urge this view on Mr. .Truman, if in fact he has not already done so. gram of a bicycle showing points that require attention in order to keep a bicycle in a safe, condition.* Co-operating with the local scout group is College Station police officer Curtis Bullock who is helping the students become familiar with the laws. Bullock reported few violations of the 12 rides for bicycle safety as the campaign progressed with much success, said Mrs. F. W. Could, leader of Troop 5. The twelve rules included on Iho card were as follows: • Obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals. ® Display a white head lamp and a red tail light when riding between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise. Be alert for traffic from all directions. ® (live both pedestrians • and motor vehicles the right-of-way. » Before leaving a driveway or crossing a street or highway, look both ways and wait for approach ing traffic. ® Do not ride on streets where three is considerable traffic. • Do not ride alongside oilier cyclists.
