He has just returned to the United States.) By HAL BOYLE TAEGU, Korea-(P) This is war more than six months ago. You would think a man would back to America after spending unhappy as Korea. But the truth is I didn't want to go. I would rather stay and see how the campaign finally came put.

The other correspondents came around and poured me a farewell drink and said: "You've been over here about as long as anybody. You ought to have got out of here long ago. Nobody cares about this story back in the states anymore. Korea is getting to be back page news. The people.

at home are worrying about themselves--not about the Army over here." "You want to stay on here? You're crazy. Boy, give me the chance to get back to old Uncle Sugar- just give me the chance." appreciated their sympathy, and I loved them for the liars they were beautiful, wonderful, loyal liars. they didn't fool me at all. Everyone wants to go home in war, but no man who is a man wants to leave his army while it is non-victorious. In two wars I had retreated with the American Army on three continents--at Kasserine Gap in Spa in the Battle of the Belgian Bulge, at Seoul in Korea.

In the retreats in Africa and Europe I had stayed with the American troops through the entire ordeal and still was with them when they counterattacked and moved back to victory. This time there was no real prospect of a final victory. The sensational 3-WAY COMBINATION RAYTHEON TELEVISION THE ADAMS- Luxurious 3-way combination. Impressive any Chippendale cabinet.

It was for this very that I hungered most to stay here. I didn't want to "bug out" on this shoestring Army just because it was caught fighting a war down a dead end street. But this has longest and saddest half year of my life. I had reached a point where I felt I could no longer do well the job that is mine--to tell the story of individual men in battle. It had all become a gray monotony of the heart and mind, and I had become so worn down with it that I no longer could write it.

I could feel the suffering of soldiers and civilian refugees. 'I could share their dangers. But I no longer could come back and put those experiences into words. I guess I came to identify myself too damn much with this American Eighth Army I have learned to love. When a reporter no longer can write about what he sees, it is time that he pasture his spirit elsewhere for a time.

And that is why I left for home, neither the who wants to try it again, when first nor the last to -but one go he can do it again. Otherwise it would be better that I put away my typewriter and pick up a rifle. It was a hot and sunny day I landed at the airfield here last July. Men fainted in the heat as they fought upon the hills. They were on the defensive then.

They were basically back upon the defensive again on the cold bright day I went back out to the same airfield to start my return trip blowing, and frostbite was America. A bitter wind now: problem to the men fighting in the hills. The jeep moved swiftly through refugee crowded streets of Taegu. Some of the refugees wore white bandages around their faces to hide the spreading rot of gangrene. They had frozen their faces marching south from Seoul, and in a few days many would be dead.

They were only corpses afoot. In the plane I boarded were a number of happy soldiers getting a five-day leave back in Japan. We took off.

This was the gist of a talk given by Dr. Ranald M. Wolfe psychologist at hospital, before members of the Chillicothe Lions club, Tuesday night, at the Warner hotel. There is a tendency for scientists in all walks to pool their efforts, interest and knowledge the speaker said.

This has been given impetus a sthe various professions have come to realize the importance of a "common language." The speaker was introduced by Dr. Carl Hirsch and the respones were given by L. S.

The club gave him a gift and members sang the birthday song. Bug-Killer Order Time Is at Hand COLUMBUS, but the bugs will benefit if farmers order their next summer's insecticide supplies now. T. H. Parks, extension entomologist at Ohio State university, believes that DDT and other insecticides may be in short supply next summer- when they are needed most.

There are several reasons why supplies may be inadequate. Parks said demand is expected to be larger. The present international situation will contribute limitations. Strikes in production of chlorine, basis of some new insecticides, will shorten supplies. Parks pointed to storage and transportation problems.

"If manufacturers can not find a place to put a product, they can not make it," he said. He advises farmers, who know what they want, to order nowand accept delivery. He said that is the best way to get the kind of insecticide -when it is needed. Lists of latest insecticides, and fungicides and recommendations for their use in Ohio are, available in county agricultural agents' offices. Old Carrier Sunk SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.

31 (AP) -The battered aircraft carrier Independence has been sunk in a secret navy test off the California coast. The navy, in an announcement notable for its scant detail, said the valiant warship had gone to her end last Friday 200 miles off the coast. She was towed out by a navy tug last week for tests which have been secret. It was presumed that some weapon--possibly a guided missile-had been used to send her down.

white crosses. It was the largest United Nations cemetery in Korea, In six months I had made some friends and lost some friends, and some of them were there under the crosses below. I felt I might never see Korea again, or know these dead and living friends again as I had known them here. I pulled my into my parka and cried silently and alone until I fell asleep. That was the parting I had from Korea, where better men than I have lost something they never can recover--no, not even if tomorrow a candle of peace were suddenly lit upon every bloody frozen hill from Manchuria to Pusan.

No Word Yet On H-Bomb, Year on Way WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (P)- One year ago today President Truman gave a momentous order to the Atomic Energy commission: get to work on the hydrogen bomb. Today, with armed conflict ranging in Korea and with a third world war a grim possibility, there is abundant evidence that the atomic scientists went to work with vigor and promptness. "But what progress they have made--how near they are to exploding the super- that could level cities and wipe out armies--is a secret locked in the minds of a very few men. It's so closely-guarded a secret that the best-informed people "on the outside" don't even agree on whether the H-bomb ever can be developed.

William L. Laurence of the New York Times, the only reporter allowed to see any of the wartime development of the atomic, fission bomb, said in a recently published book- Hell Bomb'-that the first H-blast may occur this spring or summer. Yet David E. Lilienthal, former chairman of the Atomic Energy commission, said only last week there is "only a remote possibility" the H-bomb can be built at all. The commission itself has a chance to give some official word in its ninth-semi-annual report, due today.

But the odds are heavily against anything between the realm of the possible and the probable. NEVER SAY DIE -White Russian refugee Pavel A.

Letters to The Editor (All letters published in this column must be signed by the author, but names will be withheld on request.) Dear Sir: I recently read the article of the little girl who fell in the lake and was rescued by Mrs. Barnhart. That was "luck" that she came along at the right time.

I have worried about that place for some time and felt that sooner or later someone was going to have an accident there. Maybe the child was just playing there and accidentally fell inchildren will be children, but the same thing could happen to any child or adult who might be walking on the sidewalk. To my knowledge (unless it has recently been repaired) the walk is several inches higher than the ground at this particular spot and just a twist of the ankle would certainly throw one down the bank onto those hard rocks or perhaps into the lake. When there are pedestrians going to and from Paint street and cars parked along the way, there is scarcely room to pass, so someone must step aside. And how easily one could get a serious fall.

There should be some protection placed along the walk nearest the culvert on Paint street hill, which would certainly be Safety First for the entire community. A Reader.
