Korean War (Continued from Page 1) Infantry Division struck a new Allied blow at the 12,000-man red bridgehead on the east bank of the Naktong river near Changnyong, 23 miles south west of Taegu. The Marines had been pulled out of south coastal area where they had made advances on Chinju. They were ordered back 20-odd miles to the east and then shunted northward for the Changnyong attack. The U.S. 25th Infantry Division took the Marines' places in the coastal line just west of Masan, southern port which is 27 airline miles east of Pusan. It was on the north central front, north of Taegu, that the reds were making their most dangerous threat, however. The sudden thrust was described by U.S. 8th Army Headquarters as the "most serious one to the United Nations in Korea." WITH U.S. FIRST CAVALRY, Korea — Thirty-two American prisoners with hands tied behind their backs were shot dead today be red Koreans on a hill west of Waegwah just before a U.S. patrol reached the spot. The reds tried to kill 37 prisoners in all. But five lived to tell the story. They said the communists also massacred the wounded as they lay moaning on the ground. This was in the area that was bombed yesterday by 98 B-29s in the heaviest air raid of the war. Killing of prisoners in this Building Booms 75.6 Per Cent In Southland Construction of dwelling units in the 14 Southern California counties increased 75.6 per cent during the first six months of 1950 over the same period of 1949, it was revealed today in a comparison summary issued by the Building Contractors Association of California. During the period from January through June 1949, 42,632 dwelling units were constructed. This figure increased to 74,872 during the same months of 1950. Los Angeles county showed the largest increase, 260 per cent. According to the monthly construction Summary issued by the BCA for the month of July, 1950, the large volume of construction is continuing. Total construction valuation for July is $129,296,656, far above July 1949 which showed $79,093,367. Single dwelling units started were 9612 for a total valuation of $76,748,934; duplex dwellings, 506 valued at $2,428,526; multiple dwellings, 963 at $4,971,844; commercial buildings, $5,777,496; industrial buildings, $2,018,754; publicly owned buildings $15,588,976; additions, alterations and repairs, $12,959,796; and all other building permits $8,804,830. Orange county total construction value was calculated at $5,-231,836. San Bernardino county total construction valuation increased the reds tried to kill 37 prisoners in all. But five lived to tell the story. They said the communists also massacred the wounded as they lay moaning on the ground. This was in the area that was bombed yesterday by 98 B-29s in the heaviest air raid of the war. Killing of prisoners in this fashion is typical retaliation for such an assault. Corporal James Rudd, member of an 81 MM mortar company, told the story like this: "We were captured on the morning of the 15th, two days ago. These Gooks came through in tanks and a lot more were following on foot. "We sent in a call for help as we didn't have the weapons to fight infantry. We were told that 60 South Koreans would be sent up in about an hour under a Lieutenant Tak. "A little later we saw some Koreans. We called out, 'Lieutenant Tak.' An officer answered us. Some of them had South Korean markings on them. There were about 45 or 60 of them. We fired a few rounds and then stopped. We still were confused as the officer had identified himself by the name of the leader of the South Koreans we were expecting." Friendly! "They came right into our foxholes, shaking our hands and taking our weapons is if to examine them. Then they lined us up and marched us down to a place north of Waegwan. They took us into a gully after taking our shirts, our shoes, our socks, our helmets and our ammo. Then they tied our hands with telephone wire, shoe-strings and rawhide." Rudd said the reds tried to get them across the river saying they would take the Americans to Seoul, former South Korean capital. The reds said they had 5000 prisoners in a stockade at Seoul. But American troops were getting too close. The North Koreans took the prisoners to a gully and gave them their first food of the day. The food was a pear and an apple apiece. Our F-51 (Mustang) planes began bombing and strafing a hill and a patrol from "G" company came towards the orchard." The reds said they had 5000 prisoners in a stockade at Seoul.

"Our F-51 (Mustang) planes began bombing and strafing a hill and a patrol from "G" company came towards the orchard. "There were two guards watching us. They got on each end of the ravine and hollered something and about 14 red soldiers ran up. "Then the guards and soldiers opened up on us with burp (Russian automatic) guns." Corporal Rudd said he was lying on the ground and a soldier standing near him was killed and fell across him. Because the Anaheim School district has played such an important part in the achievement tests being given to school children, there is a fine picture on display of Martin Morocco, principal of Katella schools giving a test to pupil Tommy Terry. Tony Walters represents the third and fourth grade of Katella school with samples of handwriting. He was chosen because his is so very good. Cypress school has an informative display of creative writing. Everyone loves flowers and there is a dazzling array of blooms in the Floriculture tent. See fine examples of the work of Carmen's Florist shop, Anaheim School of Floristry, Wayne's for Flowers, Bott's Nursery and Roy Kirk's Landscape Nursery. They are all from Anaheim.
