Gen. Van Fleet Reports
55,000 Troops Are Added
To South Korean Army
SEOUL, i(i*P) — Gen. James A.
Van Fleet Tuesday said 55,000
troops were added to the South
Korean army three days age and
soon will be ready for combat.
The Eighth Army commander
made the disclosure at a news
conference as savage fighting
erupted in all three sectors of the
rain-lashed 155-mile battlefront
this Armistice Day.
Van Fleet said two new Repub
lic of Korea divisions of 14,000
men each, the 12th and 15th, and
six independent regiments were
activated Nov. 8.
The increase, he said, should
enable the ROKs to take over
more of the fighting front, though
he has no particular assignment
for them in mind. ROKs man
most of the front now.
Van Fleet said he did not know
whether the new ROK divisions
would enable some American di
visions now on the line to be
pulled back into reserve.

Churchill Blasts
Russian Blocking
Of Korean Peace
By MICHAEL NEWMARCH
LONDON, UP)—Prime Minister
Churchill, blasting with all his old
wartime vigor, last night accused
Russia of blocking peace in Ko
rea in an attempt to disperse the
strength of the free world and
cripple the build-up of European
defenses.
The 77-year-old prime minister
also hailed the election of Gen.
Eisenhower as new president of
the United States and urged
France and Germany to get to
gether for the cause of European
unity.
Churchill said, “There has been
no doubt that thus far it has been
the policy of Moscow—for reasons
which are obvious—to prevent an
agreement from being reached”
in Korea.
Declaring that the Communist
world undoubtedly gained an ad
vantage in tying down large pro
portions of U. S. and United Na
tions resources in the Far East,
he added:
“That is why the Kremlin or
dered the original aggression to
begin and that was why, after
President Truman had effectively
marshalled the United Nations to
repel it, the so-called truce talks
have dragged out over more than
a year.”
The British leader voiced un
qualified support for the U.S.
refusal to force U.N. prisoners of
war in Korea to return to their
Communist-ruled homelands. He
said he was anxious for peace in
Korea, but not “at the price of
dishonor.”
‘It would be a dishonor,” he
declared, “to send thousands of

Island Billies Not Fated
To Get Mainland Nannies
| JUNEAU, (/P) — The affair of
the goats has become one of the
season’s major biological disap
pointments of this northern terri
tory.
It was'disappointing to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, and,
I had they known what was in the
wind, it would have been a crush
ing blow to' the mountain goats of
Kodiak Island.
The goats of Kodiak, you see,
j are all billies—and bachelors.
The project was to get two cap
! tured nannies to Kodiak—if only
I some way could be found to get
' them across the swollen Knik
River northeast of Anchorage.
Now comes the setback. Ervin
Nelson, FWS Federal Aid chief in
i Alaska, reports the goats were
finally brought across the river—
but he doesn’t know how. And
somebody made a mistake (he
doesn’t know who*. They aren’t
nannies at all. They are just an
other lonely pair of billies.
The trapper, Glen Williams,
will get only $150 apiece for the
billies. The price for bring-em
back-alive nannies is $450.
But nobody figures Williams is
the goat. He presumably knew all
the time that he had only the $150
kind.
helpless prisoners of war back by
force to be massacred by the
Chinese government, which boasts
it has actually rid itself of two
million of its own people.”
In his salute to President-lect
Eisenhower, Churchill assured
him Britain would work with him
“to the utmost limit of our
strength for those great causes
which we have guarded and cher
ished in ever greater unity as
generations have relied by.”
