Ma Brink Out Of Clink and Back on Relief SACRAMENTO (AP) — Mama Brink's trouble with two checks she wrote for food for her brood have landed her in Superior Court. The latest troubles of Mrs. Jessie Brink were transferred there yesterday as she appeared before Municipal Judge Percy West for a preliminary hearing. Mrs. Brink is the mother of the family which is known from here to Los Angeles and on to Oklahoma for the relief money it's been paid. Several years ago Los Angeles county officials despaired of continuing the assistance for the family of 13 children and helped finance its passage back home to Oklahoma. The Brink's didn't like it there, however, so headed back for California—that time for the capitol, itself. Mama Brink is charged with writing two checks and giving them to a grocer. Checks for $16.63 and $18.39. They bounced so the grocer went to the law. $365 Per Month The trouble came after the county knocked the Brink family from its relief roll. The Brinks had been drawing as much as $365 a month. That was after Papa James Brink had refused to check in at a hospital where doctors were to determine if he were capable of bread-winning. Brink insisted he wasn't well but he said he wouldn't let any doctor make a guinea pig of him. So Mama Brink went out and got the $35.02 worth of food—and it landed her in the county jail because she didn't have $1000 for bail. Last Saturday, after five days in the clink, Mrs. Brink made the ball and went home to take over the care of the half dozen youngest Brinks still there with Papa Brink. (The other seven are over 18). The bail came from a friend who has remained anonymous. How are the Brinks eating now? Sacramento county's supplying the groceries—from a different relief fund than the one from which the Brinks were barred. The Brinks were paid $114.90 for food for the 30 days ending yesterday. Said County Welfare Director Mary J. Patterson, meanwhile: "They'll probably be in today for more."

Survival Battle Requires Gls to Fight 'Civilians' By DON WHITEHEAD With American Troops in Korea—Delayed—(P)—The American soldier must harden his heart and coldly shoot down anyone wearing civilian clothes in the combat area—if he is to protect his own life in this war. The Americans haven't done it yet. The kids from New York and Ohio and Texas and California with Sunday School background have respected people in civilian garb. And too many of them have paid for it with their own lives. This isn't the orthodox war of North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Europe, where generally the recognized rules of warfare were followed. This is guerrilla war, a sneaking, dirty war where the enemy uses every trick in the book to kill Americans. "Refugees" are the big problem. They have been coming through the American lines for days in droves. Some of them are South Koreans fleeing before the reds. But among them are the guerrillas who spy out American positions, who slip into the hills as snipers, and who harrass the Americans from the rear. The Army has been trying to solve this problem by creating a so-called "security belt" from which all natives are evacuated in the combat area. Presumably anyone found in this area would be an enemy and treated as a guerrilla. But it hasn't worked that way. The reason is that the Americans don't have the flinty hearts of killers who have no conscience to plague them in the dark hours. Here is the story in brief: The natives trudge into the American lines along the roads and through the mountains. They come by the hundreds. They carry their belongings on their backs in bundles or in boxes piled on wooden Y-shaped pack saddles. There is no one to search the bundles and packs—because the Army hasn't the manpower for the job. The men are needed on the fighting line. And over again the story is the same in every American unit: A "refugee" is found to be an artillery observer for the enemy, calling down fire on Yank positions. A group slips into the hills and sets up a road block with machinegun fire. A machinegun suddenly opens fire from a tank—and it is manned by men in civilian clothes. The civilians who wandered by American infantry positions in the hills are later on higher ground firing on the Americans. The story is repeated on every unit of the Army by angry GIs, and their officers who know how to deal with the problem but who shrink from the stark realities. Sgt. James Haskins of La Mesa, Calif., sized up the situation this way as a veteran of two wars: "We weren't trained to fight this kind of war. We were trained to fight in the European style of position and maneuver. The enemy fought the same way and used pretty much the same tactics we used. But this is a guerrilla war and we haven't been trained to it." Major General Hobart R. Cay of the First Cavalry Division told reporters that the refugee problem was the biggest headache, adding: "There is a way to deal with it but thank God the American soldier isn't constituted to do it." The American soldier doesn't have the background for it—that's true. But this is a war for survival. And I'd rather see Americans shoot down the so-called refugees than have the "refugees" slaughter Americans. 25 Named to Pro Football Hall of Fame LOS ANGELES*CP)—A professional football hall of fame has taken in 25 "charter" members.
