. 8 *® » A Sickening Sight— By GLENN A. STACKHOUSE, United Press Staff Correspondent + On Road of Retreat from Pyongyang, Korea, Dec, 4— The dead past is coming back to life, and it's a sickening sight. The United Nations Army again has hit the road between Pyongyang and Seoul. A little more than a month ago, it was racing north in a victory drive that seemingly couldn't be stopped. : » » » 8 "
TODAY THE same Army is retreating south. It is a
! bitter, disheartening experience—the kind that makes a man
feel sick inside. And as the soldiers plod and ride back toward the 38th Parallel, each man finds he is passing a half-forgotten milestone in his memory. On the outskirts of Pyongyang, a rusting tank lies on ite side in the ditch. The last time you saw it, the freshlykilled iron monster was wrapped in flame with a dead enemy tanker draped over the turret. A little nameless village where the North Koreans made their last big stand on the day the Communist capital fell is quiet under its blanket of dust. It looked different that day in October. Then it was crawling with the .enemy and
was tense with danger. “ = - ~ » .
IT TOOK nearly an hour to clear out that village, house by house. It took less than a minute to leave it behind us. The barren rice fields 10 miles farther south are another milestone in the memory of two companies of cavalrymen and a dozen tank crews. There it was that they were pinned down in the mud for half an hour under a murderous shower of mortar shells. : A battered ‘and burned enemy self-propelled gun lies in the bushes at the foot of a hill. That was where I interviewed a kid from Ohio who told proudly how he bagged the big one with his bazooka. A column of vehicles passes through the town of Hwangju. Divisional headquarters camped in a school yard there the night before the final drive toward Pyongyang. This time, we didn't even slow up. r » - » r . THE TOWN of Sariwon hasn't changed much. The heaps of enemy bodies are gone from the main drag and the smell of fresh death has blown away. But the burned-out buildings are still standing and the bomb holes are full of frozen water. - That was where the Australians had their first real right ! in Korea, and they loved every minute of it. It will be tough for the Aussies to come back fhrough. Retreat is bitter, especially for an Army that has become
