with a week's accumulation of beard, matted with dust and sweat. “So,” he said, “we won another war. Great.” He made it an accusation. “What's eating you?” I snapped. “Maybe you'd like it better to lose?” He kept looking down toward that part of Seoul vecre the fighting was hottest. “No one likes to lose,” he said. “But I'm sick of winning this way. Losing, winning and then losing again. The guy who pegs us in history will die laughing. Biggest chumps since—well, | anyway, this coffee’s good, even if the damn canteen cup | does burn the hide off your lip.” I was still burned up. “Maybe you can tell the great American public about it,” I said. “Maybe-you'll let me quote you.’ “Maybe,” he said, and grinned for the first time. “But you and your ‘tell me about it and I'll be glad to quote you’ puts me on the spot. retire—but I ain't, Mac.

You guys have got to try to keep us from getting the big head. You didn’t do a job after the last war. All you did was go around trumpeting how good we were. Don’t say you didn’t.

MacArthur Hands Back Seoul Capital
To President Rhee at Solemn Ceremony By HUGH BAILLIE, President of the United Press SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 29-—Seldom has the Lord's Prayer been uttered in such solemnity—nor in such grim surroundings. This prayer has been heard in shipwrecks and disasters and amid gloom and peril for many hundreds of years. Today it was spoken in. the battered Korean capitol building in the charnel city of Seoul-—in a legislative hall where shards of glass came tinkling down from its wrecked dome at intervals. Also where from the galleries guards armed to the teeth kept close watch in all directions and even peered down the long corridors with binoculars. And where the Korean guards outside were so draped with grenades they were themselves walking bombs.
MacArthur Leads Prayer
The leader of the prayer was. Gen. Douglas MacArthur. He flew to: Seoul today and turned the South Korean capital back to President Syngman Rhee. Gen. MacArthur stood behind the speaker's desk on the platform with the klieg lights showing the gravity of
| hig lean, ascetic visage.
.' Before him the congregation at this place of thanksgiving consisted of high brass in Army uniforms, haggard unshaved Marines and GIs and many weary looking war correspondents looking much the same. as the troops— many- of them veterans of the whole Korean campaign who had come the road back to Seoul from Pusan and
| Taegu.
The war air was tainted with smoke and death. The route of the “triumphal procession” had been past smashed and burning buildings, -along streets where the telephone poles were smouldering like dying torches, over a pontoon bridge, through dense clouds of the infamous Korean dust, past columns of reverse refugees now heading home. Here and there the curbs were lined with people waving flags or clapping. The foxholes had been filled, the barricades removed, the downed trolley wires hauled aside, and, the ‘casual bodies removed for the occasion. When Gen. MacArthur came to that part of his address where he was abouf to lead in prayer, he hestitated for a very long, solemn moment. To In the seated crowd before him, squeezed into the benches where the legislators used to sit, were many wearing camouflaged helmets or caps, and most were _.(Continued on Page 3—Col. B
