U. S. MARINE CORPS 175th ANNIVERSARY
The United States Marine Corps celebrates its 175th
Anniversary today as a fighting force for liberty and
justice.
Their motto “Semper Fidelis" (“Always Faithful”),
stands out as we remember the heroes of that organiza
tion through our history from the days of the revolution
and those heroes who so very recently gave their lives
in the fight in Korea against aggression.
Our Governor, by proclamation, has asked that all
Alaskans pause on this day to ask God's blessing upon
“those Marines, both living and dead, who have fought
for us in Korea against naked aggression and Godless
tyranny."
“ON THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM ’
The Public Health Service of the U. S. Government
will provide $114,206,100 this year for public health
services, hospital construction and studies of water pol
lution. The money will be paid out in grants to the
States, with those of smaller economic resources receiv
ing larger sums than the wealthier States.
This is another “step on the road to socialism/’ Nev
ertheless, don't hold your breath until the States reject
the money on the ground that they believe in individual
initiative and private enterprise.
THEY MAKE A LOT OF SMOKE
The people of the United States are consuming, on
the average, 2,667 cigarettes each year. This adds up to
400,000,000.000 cigarettes for the entire population, ac
cording to Claude Harrison, president of the National
Association of Tobacco Distributors.
The rapid increase in the consumption of cigarettes
has been something of a marvel during the last genera
tion. The much-denounced “coffin tacks” of thirty years
ago have become the habit of millions of men, women
and even children in the nation.
DELEVOPS BUSINESS
Whether you realize it or not, advertising is perhaps
the most wonderful development of the modern com
mercial age.
It is the maker and breaker of business, big or little.
It is the one factor of successful sales that is most apt
to be overlooked by the merchants of small towns and

Korean Situation
At A Glance —
i
'Continued from Page One>
Red troops in North Korea, as
disclosed by MacArthur’s intelli
gence officers, means the lull is
not caused by an inability of the
Reds to continue their pressure on
Allied troops. This pressure last
week forced the Allies back 50
miles from the border.
The Chinese seem to be await
i
ing orders, while the Peiping gov
ernment weighs the stresses and
strains of world diplomacy. The
Chinese drew back in some sec
tors. Allied ground forces inched
ahead in these spot to fill the
vacuum. With 60,000 Chinese
against them plus about as many
more North Koreans, it was a
tight and cautious situation.
The sky war kept up at a furi- i
ous pace. U. S. Navy Panther jets
warded off Soviet-*built jets and
shot dcrwn one in history’s second
jet versus jet encounter.
The navy jets were protecting
dive bombers from the aircraft
carrier Philippine Sea which
blasted bridges over the border
marking Yalu River at Sinuiju.j
That bombed out city lies directly
across the river from the Chinese
city of Antung. This is the main
supply route for Red forces. It
was 90 per cent destroyed by su
perforts that dumped 600 tons of
cities.
Advertising is not the exclusive weapon of big busi
ness; it is the power that will make little concerns grow
into larger success. It is a science that requires study
and, be it said, character. It cannot succeed if it is un
true. It must build upon faith and honesty.
fire bombs and high explosives on
it yesterday.
Three South Korean army offi
cers who walked 150 miles through
Communist lines said North Kore
an troops had vanished; that only
Chinese seemed to be fighting
north of the Changchon River.
The three were attached to the
Seventh regiment of the Republic
of Korea’s (ROK) Sixth Division.
The regiment had been cut off
from its main force after it reach
ed the Manchurian border.
U. S. Marines gained in yards
against Chinese troops near the
Changjin power dam in North
Central Korea. A U. S. 10th Corps
spokesman said the Chinese 134th
Division was withdrawing in this a
sector.
In Northeast Korea, the U. S.
Seventh Division made small
gains and reached within 24 miles
of the Manchurian border.
India received further word
from her representative in Tibet,
now being invaded by Chinese
communist armies. S. Sinha, the
Indian representative in Lhasa,
Tibet’s capital said the 16-year
old ruler, the Dalai Lama, is still
in Lhasa and that his cabinet and
the national assembly are in con
tinuous session.
Unconfirmed reports from Ka
limpong had said the communists
approaching Lhasa intended to
control Tibet’s defense and foreign
relatins but to leave internal mat
ters to the present regime of Bud
dhist priests. The Tibet govern
ment asked Indian not to believe
“wild rumors” from Kalimpong.
Friday, November 10, 1950
SEOUL, (/P)—The Allies forged
a steel band across North Korea’s
narrow waist today with the link
up of U. S. Tenth Corps forces *
from the east and Eight Army ele
ments from the west.
</P) correspondent William Jor
den reported the linkup was made
southeast of Tackchon, in north
central Korea. It came as Chinese
communists just north of the
Manchurian border continued
their ominous buildup of troops—
now reported at some 300,000.
Other Chinese Red forces al
ready in Korea, estimated at about
60,000 were withdrawing into for
North Korea’s wooded mountain
fastness under constant lashing by
Allied air power.
U. S. planes hit ten Russian
built tanks and Red transports
southeast of the border.
TJ. S. jets destroyed eight enemy
tanks and damaged two in Red
territory south and southeast of
Sinuiju. Twenty-five trucks and
other vehicles were destroyed and
seven trucks damaged.
The puzzling lull in the ground
action continued into its fifth day.
There was only patrol action and
minor skirmishing.
Inland from the east coast, the
U. S. marines observed the 175th
anniversary of the Corps by roll
ing onto a plateau to within three
miles of the vital Changjin power
dam. It was a gain of six miles.
There was no opposition. Aban
doned packs indicated the haste
of the Chinese withdrawal.
A U. S. First Corps spokesman
said the day’s greatest advance—
likewise unopposed — was regis
tered by the South Korean capital
division in the far northeast—an
11-mile thrust north of Kilchu.
That’s about 75 miles south of
the Manchurian border. Elsewhere
across the peninsula the Allied
line was 45 to .50 miles south of
the touchy boundary. Before the
Red counterattacks last week, the
Allies had shoved to the border
at one point and 15 miles from it
at another.
