SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 12 (UP) Weary South Korean in; fantrymen recaptured Big and Little Nori hills on the western front today in savage, close-quarter fighting only to lose them three hours later to 700 screaming Chinese. Both Communist attacks hit the KOKs in the moonless dark after a thundering Red artillery barrage. South Korean troops had won Little Nori hill this morning in their sixth counter-attack of the day.

They reported victory after bloody, hand-to-hand combat with knives, knees and fists in enemy-held bunkers and trenches.

Officially this stretch of highway with its satin-smooth lanes, islands and freeway type of construction, has not been opened. However, it is in daily use and appropriate ceremonies are to be held to signalize its completion.

Plans for such an event sometime early in 1953 were made Thursday night in Wasco by directors of the Central Valley Higli-way association. There will be a specific date when state highway officials and probably the governor will be invited to attend ceremonies marking the opening of this newest link in the highway which runs from Selma all the way south to Bakersfield. Surveyor Reveals Details Details of traffic count were revealed to the directors and guests by J. R. Hayes, Kings County surveyor.

These traffic counts were made last October to give the state an indication of the volume of traffic on the highway in a 24-hour period.

Two Companies Hit RDKs United Press correspondent Fred Painton reported from an outpost in the embattled sector that Chinese commanders sent two companies against the ROK's on Big Nori and two other Chi-pese companies against Little Nori in simultaneous attacks tonight. On Big Nori, the South Korean defenders lasted 20 minutes against the Communist onslaught. ROK troops trying to hold Little Nori fell back after 18 minutes. In each fight, the Koreans held their posts until after the Chinese moved into the trenches for close-quarter combat. Red, green and blue flares sent up by the South Koreans illuminated the battlefield after the twin defeat to prevent unobserved infiltration by the Communists toward (he U.

N. mam line. Hurl Assault Tile Communists had captured Little Nori early yesterday in an assault by 3.000 men apainst that sector of the western front, the biggest mass attack by the Reds against the U. N. in two months.

The Chinese attacked Big Nori hill along a ridgclinc leading to a higher peak held by the Reds. Tho two companies assaulting Little Nori hid themselves in a small valley on an adjoining ridge before the attack. Darkness and thick smoke from a tremendous artillery duel between Communist and Allied big guns made it almost impossible to see. The assaults were the latest in a day of heavy, bloody fighting in the Yonchon sector. Each side fired terrific volumes of mortar and artillery and for a while the exchange was one of the heaviest of the Korean war.

Pour Rain of Steel Earlier in the day, Allied warplanes and tanks poured a rain of slecl and explosives into the Chinese stubbornly defending Iho twin heights. N. warplanes swooped over Little Nori every half hour to drop bombs and jellied gasoline on the Reds. The 5th air force was busy elsewhere, too. Fighter-bombers attacked a big troop concentration northeast of Kaesong and a supply point in the same sector in eastern North Korea.

At the Fresno-Kings line the traffic count in a 24-hour period of a typical day was 2,292 vehicles. It narrowed down to 311 vehicles at the Kern County line, but then it increased to a count of 3,833 vehicles at Wasco and 4,806 south of there near Shatter. Need for Modern Map Hayes also informed other directors of the CVH association of the need for a modern, engineering map of the entire route to be used in conjunction with future meetings. It was agreed to go into cost details of preparing such a map.

An engineering study of improvements required to serve present and future travel on California roads was distributed by a public relations man for the Senator Collier joint fact-finding committee on highways. Further details of the proposed billion-dollar revenue bond proposition to fihancc highway construction were given the directors. Critical deficiencies of more than $3 billion were cited. Getting back to the Central Valley highway, one director commented: Was Beyond All Belief The most optimistic members of this group never would have believed, 10 to 15 years ago, that the highway would be iiqpjroved as it has in the past two years alone. Paul Newhall of Shatter, past president of the highway association, emphasized the need to continue acquisition of necessary rights of way.

Jack Polzin, president of the organization, presided at the dinner meeting at Wiets. Others present included Kern and Kings directors, Subervisor-elect R. J. Hollis of Hanford, and Vince Peterson, Hanford, planning engineer for Kings County. Business reports were submitted by Vernon Timmons, secretary.

In a 1952 report on the state highway system, published by the Automotive Safety foundation Kings County is cited as one example of a "future inadequacy This is in connection with route 10.

The report itself, a comprehensive work done for the Collier factfinding committee, states as follows: "This section (sign route 198) extends from Hanford to three miles cast. This route is an cast west lateral, often called the Sierra to the Sea' highway because it connects the Sierras with the Salinas Valley." Gives Existing Condition The report then goes on to say that as for the existing facility the road condition is as follows: This road, constructed in 1936 is asphaltic concrete. The pavement width is 20 feet with six-foot treated shoulders. Since there arc no horizontal curves on this seel ion, no blind vertical curves and no grades over three per cent, passing opportunity is not restrict cd. The annual maintenance cost runs between $400 and $900." As to traffic: The average daily traffic on this route is 4,098 vehicles, of which eight per cent arc trucks.

In accordance with past traffic history for this route and future projections for the state, it is indicated that an increase of 91 per cent may be expected by 1970. The calculated capacity is approximately 5,100 (vehicles) per day. This route has an accident rale of 2 79 for all types of accidents and 1.28 for fatal and noil-fatal accidents. Possible Deficiency Shown The foundation's report then referred -to possible deficiency. It says, in connection with highway 198s capacity: As indicated by the sheet, practical capacity will be reached by 1956 and in line with tile accepted 20 per cent tolerable figure, it will not be considered deficient until the fivc-to-tcn-ycar period.

According to life expectancy studies, this section should become structurally deficient around 1956 As that date is so close to the fivc-to-tcn-ycar period in which deficiency is reached, it was desig nated to become structurally deficient within the fivc-to-ten-ycar period. "In accordance wilh tolerable standards established for this study, this road was not considered deficient because of safety reasons. The survey is statewide and contains similar analyses of many highways throughout California, with reports on safety, volume and deficiency.

LONDON, Dec. 12 (INS) Japan was disclosed today to have strongly urged the British government to support a demand that 11 top-ranking Japanese war criminals be released front prisons in Japan. Japanese Ambassador Matsu-moto also has asked for the immediate release of approximately 250 minor war criminals held in Australia and Japan.

A British foreign office spokesman acknowledged the Japanese representations, and it was learned that similar moves are being made in the capitals of all other nations involved. Matter Being Considered The whole matter is being considered, a British foreign office spokesman said, but no decision has been reached. A Japanese embassy spokesman said that if the war had turned out differently Anglo-American leaders like the late President Roosevelt, General MacArthur and other military leaders and British Prime Minister Churchill would have been regarded as war criminals. The 11 so-called major war criminals held in Japan arc regarded as Japanese patriots. Tribunal Must Consent Any release of the Japanese could be obtained only by majority vote of the members of the international military tribunal which tried the United States, Britain, France, China, India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and Russia.

The London foreign office gave these figures of minor prisoners: 1,400 held by Russia, 500 in Australasia and Philippines, and 111 in Japan, after the paroling of 101 since last May.
