Eight Wounded
Ken Saved With
Tricky Bridge
Bv ROBERT C. MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE MARINES ON THE
SEOUL FRONT, KOREA. Sept.
25. <U.R!—Eight wounded Marines
owed their lives today to a tricky
bridge that Navy Medic Francis
Granatowski, of Milwaukee, built
while shells churned the waters of
the river below him.
The Leathernecks were injured
last Saturday night when their
battalion fought into Yongdungpo,
across the Han River from Seoul.
A deep stream separated the bat-
talion from the American rear
area.
Bandaged and blanketed, they lay
on the bank in the chill midnight
air. Large doses of opiate dulled
their pain hut only immediate
surgery could save their lives. And
the only bridge across the stream
had been blown up.
The battalion put in a call for
help, and an hour later a blacked-
out ambulance, feeling its way a-
long dusty narrow roads lighted by-
bursting shells, jpached the bridge
on the other side of the stream.
The idea was to hoist the wound-
ed in wire baskets from the bank
to the jutting end of the blown
bridge. But Granatowski was a-
fraid that any sharp movement
might be fatal to the men. He had
a different plan.
The medical corpsmen began
ripping out planks and laying
them across the open spaces be-
tween the foundations of the brid-
ge. Bit by bit, a zigzagging cat-
walk was built under Granatow-
ski's direction.
All the while bullets whined
through the darkness. Twice mor-
tars landed in the river. An over-
cast robbed the medics of the
moon's light hut also made them
less conspicuous targets.

UNITED PRESS
FOREIGN NEWS EDITOR
Any soldier will tell you that the
over-all military position of the
Korean Communists is hopeless to-
day. Their chief supply line from
North Korea has been cut and
their main army is caught between
two-good-sized United Nations
Forces.
But there probably is at least
one good fight left in the Com-
munists, and there is a fair chan-
ce that they even might attempt
a limited offensive. As every hun-
ter knows, a wounded animal is
[capable of lashing out with great
' ferocity.
Adolf Hitler taught the Allied
generals a lesson near the end of
World War II. We had broken out
of our Normandy beach-head, fat-
ton's tanks were riding roughshod
across France and the end seemed
near. Just at that moment Hitler
assembled every soldier, tank and
plane he could scrape up and
struck one mighty, dying blow.
His offensive is known in the his-
tory books today as the battle of
the bulge and coming, as it did at
the Christmas season when Allied
hopes were high, is dealt a hard
blow to our morale.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower got
the situation straightened out in
III days or two weeks, but not un-
til the Germans won many succes-
ses and inflicted heavy casualties,
particularly on American troops.
The advantage the Communists
have is that they are on the defen-
sive and they know it. They have
abandoned hope that they can push
down to the southeastern port of
Pusan and throw the U. N. armies
into the sea. Their new strategy-
will be to inflict as much damage
as possible on our troops, dig into
well fortified positions and try to
drag the war into a winter stale-
dyville, Neb., slipped and fell into
the water but climbed out unin-
jured.
Then came the job of getting the
litters across the treacherous lat-
tice work linking the river banks.
Granatowski and Everin E. Shelby,
hospitalman of St. Mary's, Calif..
couldn't see each other in the
darkness as they inched their way
across. Gerald W. Ledbetter, hos-
pitalman, of Fort Worth, Tex.,
went ahead to guide their foot-
steps.
Everything had to be done by
signals. One by one, they took the
eight litters across, tenderly bal-
ancing each wounded man to pre-
vent further hemorrhages and fi-
nally, after nearly two hours, all
were across and loaded in the am-
Ed- bulance. '
mate.
Any army is thrown into tem-
porary confusion by a landing be-
hind its lines such as Gen. Doug-
las MacArthur made at Inchon. It
took three or four days for the
Communist commanders to get
their bearings, shift their troops
and work out the new defensive
strategy. During those three or
four diays our march toward the
Korean capital of Seoul was a
walk-over with only light resistan-
ce. But the enemy used that time
to dig into good positions in and
around Seoul and when the U. S.
Marines reached the edge of the
city they found themselves invol-
ved in a bloody, stubborn battle.
A defending army can make any
city a tough nut to crack if it
fights with resolution. Taejon, for
instance, is a natural fortress. An-
other Communist army—the Russ-
ians—fought an epic battle in
World War II in the ruined city of
Stalingrad.
Cor Stolen, Found

DALLAS, Tex.. Sept. 25 <U.R!—
Melvin R. Albert's car was stolen

mistake of driving off from A .H.

ing for gas. He caught them and
turned them over to police.
Paintings off Nightmares
Help Mental Patients
ASHTABULA, O. TP>—Ray Jay
Ashdown paints nightmares to
help mental patients forget them.
The .'55-year-old art director of
the Ashtabula school system de-
veloped a theory that if mentally
mixed-up persons see their twisted
dreams on canvas, their fear of the
sometimes frightening life beyond
the borderland of sleep will lessen
Relieves Distress #1 MONTHLY
and sometimes vanish.
Ashdown also believes psychia-
trists can help mental patients
more readily if they have a picture
of the patient's nightmare at their
disposal. Ashdown talks with men-
tal patients, gets a description of
their nightmares and paints what
he hears.

"What license?" Johnson an-

Doctor-Author Suggests
How to live Long
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. <U.R)_Dr.
Seale Harris, 80, author of the
book "To Live Long and Prosper,"
has some advice for Americans
wanting long and useful lives.
"Give a man a regulated diet,
exercise, plenty of rest, serenity,
and economic security, and I sep
no reason why he should not keep
working until he is 80 or 90," he
said.
Still going strong himself, the
world-known authority on diabetes
commented that worry, excessive
weight and over-eating are mainly
responsible for cutting down the
life span.
He said the best way to die
young "to worry over money."
The first dramatic performance
in New England by professional
actors took place in Newport, R. I.,
on Sept. 7, 1761. Tickets cost six
shillings each.

Ohio, says she wants to congratu-
late those folks who read this who
are feeling first rate—but she has
a word of advice for those folks
who are feeling miserable. Her
advice is "take HADACOL," if
you want to feel as good as she
does if they are suffering from
such deficiencies.
Here is Mrs. Brown's own state-
ment on now HADACOL helped
her by relieving such deficiencies:
"Before I started taking HAD-
ACOL I had indigestion very bud.
Sometimes I would not go to sleep
at all during the night, and if I did
it was only for a couple of hours.
When I did sleep I got very little
rest. I had just about given up
hope—I had tried so many, many
things and nothing helped me.
The none day I heard how other
folks were being helped by the bles-
sings of HADACOL. I started tak-
ing HADACOL and after the first
few bottles I noticed an improve-
ment. Now I have no more indiges-
tion. The best thing that HADA-
COL has done for me is that I
sleep all night long—and when I
awake in the morning I know I've |
rested. I just can't praise HADA-
COL enough."
"Wonderful" Describes the Way
HADACOL has helped thousands
of folks whose systems were
deficient in Vitamins BI, B2.
Iron, and Niacin. HADACOL can
give you help, too, if you will just
give HADACOL a chance—If you
suffer from stomach distress, indi-
gestion or insomnia, constipation,
aches and pains of neuritis or a
general run-down condition, caused
by such deficiencies. let HADA- ;
COL help you as it has helped
others all over the country. Even
hundreds of doctors are recom-
mending HADACOL to their pa
tients who are suffering from such
deficiencies.
Give remarkable HADACOL a
chance to help you. Remember,
you have nothing to lose. HADA-
COL will make you feel great
after the first few bottles you '
take, or your money will be re-
funded. Only $1.25 for Trial Sixe. [
