Fight In Snowstorm To Take Korea Hill UN And Communists At Close Quarters Bth Army Headquarters, Korea, Jan. 24—‘(UPHJ Tahk-supported United Nations forces battled the Communists at close quarters today in a snowstorm for possession of a hill bn the front. Fighting still was going on at noon (9 p.m. Wednesday CST), an Bth army communique said. V U.N. tanks and infantry first clashed with Red troops entrenched in strong bunkers on the bill west of Chorwon Wednesday. The allies finally withdrew with a damaged tank after a six-hour battle. Soon after dawn, U.N. forces renewed their assault in the face of withering small arms fire and a shower of hand grenades. The allies, returned the fire and engaged the Reds at close quarters. Another U.N. raiding party farther west fought a see-saw engagement with the Reds west northwest of Korangpo. When the allies finally withdrew, - they reported they had killed at least 20 Communist troops.* ! • Allied tanks poured fire into Communist bunkers at five points along a seven-mile segment of the central front between Kumsong and the Pukhan river Wednesday. The tanks fired at least 1,600 rounds, damaging 60 enemy bunkers. The Reds replied with only 34 rounds, but that was sufficient to damage five U,N. tanks. Three were recovered and the other lumbered back to base under their "own power. A solid lajter of clouds and heavy snowfalls curtailed the allied air offensive. American Sabrejets flew protective cover fpr fighter-bomb-ers attacking North Korean railway targets, but sighted no Communist jets. A ’ Oysters can switch sexes in middle age.
