Elements of the American 35th and Negro 24th Infantry Regiments fought back in bloody hand-to-hand battles, fell back, and then coun- terattacked. The North Koreans were driven back from all three peaks they had seized opposite the 35th positions. They were barely hanging on to a single captured position in front of the 24th. On the 35th’s front the Reds ran back in groups of two or three to a village leaving 100 dead behind. When 200 of them were seen en- tering the village in disorder Lt. Frank Lamothe, New Orleans, had | it shattered with 42 mortars, artil- lery and an air strike.

They soon discovered that they lived in the same German same number—and had the same wife. This was how it came about, ac- cording to the Hamburg newspaper ! “Abendblatt.” A German major, re- turning to the front from leave in 1942, told his wife to marry again it he were killed. Soon she was of- ficially told of his death in action. Eighteen months later she mar- ried another officer. In due course he was captured. But husband num- ber one had not been killed. He was picked up on the battlefield by the Russians. .45 Finally * through the painfully slow communications from Russian prison camps the wife learned of her difficult position. She asked the two men to wait until they are back from Russia. Then, she says,| she will decide which one to keep as her husband.
