Korean War (Continued from Page One) fleeing northward so fast that they no longer could herd all their Allied prisoners along with them. Many POWs were escaping to the safety of Allied lines. Other prisoners were massacred by the reds in a brutal last show of defiance. Sixty-six Americans were found machinegunned 40 miles north of Pyongyang, the fallen red capital. Two others died, but 21 survived the ruthless slaughter. Five hundred South Koreans were reported murdered at Yonghung on North Korea's east coast. An army intelligence officer in Tokyo said the red Koreans had put up "no real organized resistance in the last 24 hours." Fleeing reds were reported turning inland in their retreat before the advancing United Nations forces. Officers said they were entering an area dotted with ancient walled cities. These will not offer much defense, a spokesman said. "With what we have learned already we can take care of those without any trouble." The spokesman said American forces had learned much in assaulting the walled city north of Taegu in southeastern Korea.

Men were dying along the road. "Some of them wanted to be shot rather than walk through that men," Sharpe recalled. Once an American jet plane strated their column. Sharpe said some GIs were killed. Last Friday they reached the Sunchon tunnel and were told that they would be fed hot soup.

Don spoke briefly of his life as a boy and things that led to his decision. He began to attend Sunday School in Placentia when he was a small boy living in that community. When the family moved to Anaheim he dropped out. Later when in Junior High school he began attending Wesley Methodist church and became interested in the Methodist Youth Fellowship there. "He liked what he found there," he said. Two years ago he became interested in the Methodist Youth Fellowship group in White Temple and joined that church in the early part of 1949. He began considering the ministry while attending the Area Youth Training Conference in July this year and spent considerable time this summer surveying the field and counseling with people already in the field. Following the talk Reverend Hayden S. Sears, district superintendent, presided at the granting of local preacher's license. Members of the White Temple staff and Paul Demaree, lay leader of the church, and Wilbert Bonney, church school superintendent, stood with Don for the consecration service which followed, representing the entire gram of the church, its' pride dedicating one of its own yr to life of service and denoting to Don the way in which the church expects to stand him and help him succeed.

Last Friday they reached the Sunchon tunnel and were told that they would be fed hot soup. "They told us to fall out three at a time and form three groups of 20 men each," Sharpe said. "I was in the first group. Everyone was given a bowl and the guard directed his group to a ravine. It was there that his group was fired upon.
