SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY jest ground action of the new year. Allied infantry, tanks, flame- throwers, artillery and planes were thrown into the unsuccessful as- sault on Spud Hill. High brass and correspondents— Provided in advance with a pam- phlet describing each phase of the attack — watched from nearby bunkers. Called “Operation Smack,” it had been planned since Jan. 19. But -the Chinese Reds were ready. They caught the charging U. N. infantrymen in a deadly crossfire. Then the Allied troops tried to burn out the Reds with flame- throwers. However, in many in- stances, the flame-throwers ran out of fuel. AP Correspondent Forrest Edwards reported from the scene —at the southern end of T-Bone Hill—that a hail of artillery shells and napalm (jellied gasoline) also failed to dislodge the Communists. One of the Allied wounded told Edwards: “If we could only have had more flame-throwers we could have burned right through them. We were doing’a good job but sudden- ly there weren't any more flame- throwers.” Another wounded man told AP Photographer Fred Waters that the flame-throwers ran out of fuel and added grimly: “And so did ‘the guy who was | shooting it.” An Eighth Army spokesman de- clined to report Allied casualties but estimated 95 Chinese were killed. After the raid, Fifth Air Force and Navy carrier pianes swarmed over the entire front. The Navy reported that pianes from the car- riers Kearsarge and Oriskany knocked out 300 yards of Commu- nist trenches, nine bunkers, two gun positions and destroyed 36 trucks and 44 buildings, Fourteen Okinawa-based B29s last night blasted a 30-acre mili- tary staff installation at Yangdok and the lateral rail line to Pyong- yang.
