NEGRO TROOPS FIGHT BRAVELY Tokyo, Saturday, July 22— American Negro troops, counter attacking on South Korea’s cen tral front, took the rail and high way city of Yechon Friday in a 16-hour battle with Red Forces. This first aggressive victory for the United States Eigth army in the four-weeks-old Korean fighting was won to hold the Allied line 60 miles northeast of the dead and abandoned city of Taejon. (The Negro troops, on a front previously held only by x South Korean forces, are apparently! of the 25th division. The 25th’S arriva!

Sadie Bowers, Local Secretary IN THE REALM OF SPORTS Just what does a trout see? The easiest way to explain that is by comparing his eye with a man’s. The human eye has sensitive elements of two kinds: rods and cones. The cones seem chiefly concerned with seeing an object clearly in a good light. The rods most abundant at the sides, give only a vague image but they are very sensitive to movement and to light. You may know the trick of looking in a very dim light far to one side of an object; this throws its image on the rods which see it well enough for identification, when direct vision (with cones) would not see it at all. The retina of a fish’s eye con sists almost entirely of rods; also, there is behind it a reflect ing membrane that helps it see still better in a dim ligth. Since he has mainly rod-vision he can see someting almost at right angles to his pupil about as well as if it were directly in front. He is very sensitive to move ment in a wide range; and he can see in dim light. Too, because of the laws of refraction, the more overhead a man is the more he and his movements are magnified; the closer he is to the surface the less a trout can see him and the smaller he appears. So Jason Lucas, our favorite angling authority, says all this means that in stalking trout in the open you should crouch as low as possible, sometimes even to the extent of crawling up and casting while lying on your side. Where creeping up is imprac tical try proceeding very slowly directly toward the trout, avoid ing side movements when pos sible. Then the vague image that he sees is getting larger so grad- usually that he may not notice it. When you are close, a long froz en pause may lull any suspicions that you’re not a bush moving slightly in the wind. It is best to cast with wrist movement only, the hands di rectly between you and the fish, so as not to show arm move ment against the sky. A cagey trout might overlook the slen der, waving rod. General MacArthur’s Tokyo headquarters did not issue its usual midnight communique, ex plaining there had been no change in the situation since the withdrawal from Taejon. Subsequently. Associated Press correspondents Tom Lambert re ported the American Negro troops victory at Yechon in a dispatch from a United States infantry task force. The Negroes’ 16-hour battle' ended after dawn Friday. United States casualties were reported liglt. Enemy losses could not be estimated. The Friday afternoon communi que from General MacArthur’s headquarters had reported a regi ment of the South Korean capital division re-took Yechon with a counter-attack. Apparently this force then lost this rail and road city 65 miles north of Tae gu on the rail and road running northwest out of Pusan. Yecho had changed hands sev eral times in the Communist e£ fort to drive through South Korean troops to cut the com munications line behind the 24th’s shock-absorber forces around Taejon. The pullback from Taejon and the deployment, of the 25th mechanized First somewhere on the eastern side of the line apparently are estab lishing the pattern for the hold- on campaign in southeast Kbrea, That will be the staging area for counter-offensives and part of the aerial attrition campaign against the North Koreans while that counter-offensive power ia laboriously built up. Corresptondent Lambert’s dis patch from the Negro task force said: “In the Yechon action, the power and strength of the United States assault made it look as if the period of trading time for space is over.” The battle for Yechon began Thursday afternoon against Com munist forces. Two Negro com panies used a flanking move— a favorite Red tactic—under cover of artillery and mortar fire while others legged it across rice pad dies and stalked among the hous es, firing as they went. The bat tle went on overnight. WERTS WINS IN 2ND PRIMARY G. T. (Tab) Werts defeated his apponent Dud L. Bedenbaugh in the race for Commissioner of District 2 in Tuesday’s primary by 130-odd votes. He will suc ceed the late Cy Schumpert. William D. Lindler defeated James G. Roof for Magistrate at Whitmire by a slight margin. The. above were the only coun ty races Tuesday.

Calli- son easily took the Newberry vote from Charles M. Plowden. OFFERS SCHOLARSHIP The College of Charleston is offering one $300 scholarship 4n each Congressional District.

SCOOPS BABY BOY FRlSfy TRAINS PATH 1 CHARLES, VA., July 23— thing gave him “the weak trem bles.” , The Negro railroader, a 10- car coal train, a 16-months-old baby and baby’s frantic • young mother all reached the ame point on the tracks at about the same time Friday. But moments earlier— There was Dowell on the rear platform of the coal train ca- boos backing down a steep slope from the Monarch Mines here in Virginia’s mountainous southwest. The weight of nine loaded coal cars sent it along at gathering speed. The brakeman glanced down the tracks and froze. “O, my God, look at that baby,” he yelled to Conductor Hugh Kestner. About 100 yards ahead on the tracks was Jimmie Woodward, clad in practically nothing. He had climbed up the hill from his home and was inspecting rails. He looked at the on-rush ing train and then turned back to the rails again. The conductor slammed the brakes on all cars. But it was plain the train couldn’t stop in time. Then Dowell jumped. He hit the ties running for the boy. At that moment, Mrs. Carl Woodward, 23, out hunting for Jimmie, spied her son. She dashed toward him too. Dowell just avoided a three- way tie in the race. Only a few feet in front of the slowing train he scooped up Jimmie with left hand,straight armed Mrs. Woodward off the rails with his right, and jumped to the side with Jimmie under his arm. The train just missed his shoulder. It ground to a stop in four car lengths. “I thought it was sure death for the baby and his mother,” the conductor said. “Jim did a great job. I don’t see how he made it in time.” “That grand colored man,” the grateful mother said. “I can never repay him.” Said Jim: “Prettiest baby I ever saw. I couldn’t bear the thought of him getting killed.” DR.
