It was a dif- HAI ftOYl.F ferent a from that made last summer by many of these same men. Then they had fallen back in the firm faith that the might of American and other lands would come in time to save them and help -throw back and destroy the enemy. This time they had no such surety. For in their ranks the 'United States Army already had committed more than one-third of its entire striking power.

And how could it train and bring over enough fresh divisions in time to fight off the tidal wave of Chinese troops behfnd them? and how could the other United Nations do so? Thus the American Eighth Army came back from its broken offensive, launched on Nov. 24 aiming to reach the Manchurian border and end the Korean war. A giant yellow paw was at its back. Before it stretched only the prospect of fresh fighting in old foxholes the men would rather forget than return to. Proud In Defeat But in retreat and it had been in its few brief weeks of it was an army to be proud of.

Seen from the air its march held both magnificence and pathos. There was a Biblical pagentry about it. In a plane at 4,000 feet the great retreat looked like a scene from a silent movie epic or a vast and timeless tableau in colored wax. Everything seemed grey clouds. the evergreen mountains.

MARKET QUOTATIONS The Ghosf of Christmas Present fook Scrooge into the street, where there was music of people wishing eoch other "Merry Christmas!" the endless troops in olive drab. But as the plane came lower the tableau surged with swarming life.

The battlecars became jeeps and trucks and weapon carriers and artillery pieces and trailers and ambulances And the tiny 'carrying back figures became tired infantryman limping behind his outfit, a shivering Korean carrying his mother on his back through knee deep water fringed with ice, a group of soldiers from a parked convoy thawing out around a roadside fire. All the 110,000 men who had Jumped off in attack the week "before weren't hi the columns of vehicles that jammed every lane. Many would, never return. But they had gone up as an army. And they were coming back as an army.

They had their courage ano most of their weapons and thej were ready to fight again.

Berlin. anti-Red political fortress 100j miles behind the Iron Curtain, knocked out Communism again yesterday with a record 90.4 per cent vote in municipal elections. Disregarding Red threats and a Communist boycott. 1,504,414 of 1,664,091 eligible Berlin voters cast their ballots, complete official returns showed. The dominant Socialists lost aj third of their previous strength to the runner-up Christian Democrats.

The Socialists polled 653,974 votes, the Christian Democrats 360,829, the Free Democrats 337,477. But leaders of all three parties, headed by Socialist Mayor Ernest Reuter. pledged they would continue their three-faction city coalition as a united front against Russian aggression. The huge turnout of voters, surpassing the 86.3 per cent who cast ballots during the Soviet blockade two years ago, astonished the Russians and the western powers alike. Kremlin propaganda had branded the poll "an American war election" and called on all west side citizens to abstain under the implied menace of reprisals.

BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter CLEVELAND, Dec. 4 Someday soon a human who is "clinically" dead may be brought back to life by a new artificial hcart-and-Iung machine. One machine that may do this is being kept in readiness clurin.s difficult heart operations at Habne- mann hospital in Philadelphia, in case the patient's heart stops.

The machine and its potentialities were described yesterday by Dr. Charles P. Bailey, chief of chest surgery, and associates at Hahnemann, to the Ohio chapter of the American College of Chest Physicians. Used On Dogs It has worked successfully on dogs. It kept one dog alive for 71 minutes, while it pumped blood and gave it new oxygen, he said.

It took dark-red blood from two veins near the heart, by-passing the dog's own heart and lungs, and pumped refreshed, bright red blood back into an artery in tho neck. The dog recovered completely after the machine was disconnected, and her own heart took over its normal work. If this can be done safely with humans, it will make possible new kinds of chest operations and medical treatment of heart and lung diseases, the surgeon said. The machine is the latest of a dozen or more developed in the last 20 years. The hope for this one lies in its efficient steel "lung" and special new pump.

It is compact, with all its parts contained a glass cabinet only 30 inches ligh, 16 inches wide and 18 inchco deep. Because of the risk, it cannot be used, now on a living person, Dr. Bailey said. Its first test probably viil come when a patient dies dur- ng an operation, when his heart stops beating. This heart stoppage Is called clinical death.

A person might still revived, if blood circulation is quickly enough, befor? sensitive brain tissues are damaged. This critical time element for some people, may be only two or hree minutes, but there are rare cases of safe escape from death as ong as eight minutes later. In hese, surgeons squeezed or massaged the heart to ticking again. If heart massage or other means; 'ail, then the heart machine can be tried, the surgeon said, "for here will be nothing to lose, and fame New Manager State Hospital LINCOLN, Dec. 4 3oard of Control today announced ippointment of C.

Stocks Snyder Says Outlay May Jump 50 Percent WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 UPt-f Secretary of the Treasury Snyder said today government outlays may jump 50 percent to a 567,500,000,000 total in the next fiscal year starting July 1. He said this may be the result of "vast increases in defense costs" that will require "very substantial tax increases." Snyder, appearing before the senate finance committee, urged enactment of President Truman's $4,000,000,000 "excess profits" tax bill. He said a substitute bill recommended by the-house taxwrit- ing committee would raise only $3,000,000,000 annually.
