Fifth Air Force said U. N. fighter bombers today smashed a big North Korean army headquarters in the setond straight day of withering assault on Northeast Korea. At the eastern end of the battle front, U, 8, 25th Division infantry- men hammered back a Commu- nist attack with fists and bayonets on Sandbag Hill, an Allied outpost. U. S. Air Force, Marine and Australian planes hurled high ex- plosives, rockets and machine guh bullets at the North Korean Fifth Corps headquarters near Kowon, the Air Force said. Pilots said they set 10 large fires, demolished 56 struciures and damaged 20. “The buildings just seemed to collapse like they were made of playing cards,” said Capt. Felix Fowler, Cleveland. Other fighter bombers and B-26 light bombers blasted a tungsten mine southwest of the Northeast- ern Korean port of Wonsan. Fight- er bombers also pounded west coast and other battlefront tar- Bets. U.S, Sabre jet pilots reported they probably shot down one Rus- sian, built MIG and* damaged another in air battles involving 39 Allied fighters and more than 50 Red jets.

Well hidden with- in him lies the secret of his being, always aching to be told, always shrinking from the telling. The hu- man spirit has no gift of tongues. It throws out shy signals which are to be read only by the most dis- erning eye, and that often after all significance has vanished. Man remains stranger to man and very lonely, No man may look at a- nothers soul in travail;- it is guard. ed by the angel with the flaming sword throughout its trial. T’is then that man has but one to commune with: his God: and with awe and silent meditation, he does just that. If such a man keeps his faith and remains serene, flashes of light- ning-like revelations shall he his; and to him shall be revealed God's wishes. In this hour of rapture herein described, cherished secrets were disclosed;- scintillating memories brought thrills of delight which uplifted my being, and dried my jtears.

A man’s heart knows its own bit- terness, but it cannot utter it so you can understand. The core of the hurt is never brought out for your inspection. The intense yearning that tore the body apart and turned into the shining radiance of the soul,cramp- ed the tongue to silence. I bear no man malice! Who are we to the story is told can judgment be rendered, and a soul speaks only to God who made it. If there is nothing of kindness we can mur- mur, nothing of love or comfort we can bestow, suppose we pass by in silence, remembering that man is very lonely and bears his soul in sorrow. Six A. M.

Along the way I met innumerable flowers bright with dew,their plea- sant faces lifted to the rising sun.

EUROPE ADLAI, IKE AGREE ON USA’S FOREIGN POLICY REDS SAY IKE WANTS TO CONQUER EUROPE By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (#—The Voice of America is telling Western Europe that—despite hot words on the home front—Republican and Dem- ocratic presidential contenders ac- tually give evidence of agreeing on the main points of American foreign policy. The State Department Radio beamed this message abroad this week after the sharpest foreign policy argument of the campaign had developed over the issue of America’s attitude toward libera- tion for Russian-controlled satel- lite peoples. A weekly summary of Voice pro- grams recalls that at the Ameri- can Legion convention in New York “last week GOP cantidate Dwight Eisenhower raised the lib- eration question and quoted him as saying “We can never rest, and we must so inform the Krem- lin, . . . until the enslaved nations of the world have the fullest free- dom.” This and related remarks set off an immediate reaction abroad. The Russian newspaper Pravda was quoted in the State Depart- ment report as saying Eisenhow- er’s desire was to conquer Eastern Europe and Asia for “the Ameri- can empire,” Actually, the Voice told Western Europe, Eisenhower said nothing in his speech about using Ameri- can armed power to liberate the Soviet satellites. © “In saying that the American conscience can never be at peace while so many captive peoples live in slavery,” the Voice continued, “(Eisenhower) is expressing the profound. feeling Americans have not only now, but have had throughout their history.” The broadcast then said Demo- cratic candidate Adlai Stevenson in a recent speech at Grand Rap- ids, Mich., had commended Eisen- hower’s foreign policy views and had said specifically on the liber- ation issue: “We (meaning the United States) will continue to work for the day when all people will be free to choose their own government and walk again erect and unafraid.” The broadcast also reminded European listeners that President Truman, speaking at. Parkers- burg, W. Va,, had declared that in various “positive ways” the United States is demonstrating that it “thas not forgotten the peo- ple whom the Soviets enslave.” The summary made no refer- ence to another part of the Presi- dent’s Parkersburg speech in which he said there is no way to do more than is now being done for the satellite peoples ‘without using force.” “Maybe the Republicans don’t realize this,” the President said, “but the people who are on the spot in Europe know very well ANYTH AUTOMO TWINS 1130 01 St NC CERNING THE ILES SEE PH. 1870-1871 Let us give you @ * Lt.
