people who wept and prayed for a little boy they had
only read about. It started as a happy
story. On Feb. 3, 1950, an
eight-column banner in The Times read: “Local Leukemia Victim Flown to New York For Treatment With New

I.avon Fisher, the minister who baptized Jerry, intoned the words of the seventh chapter of Luke: “Young man, I say unto thee, arise.” These words of Jesus to the widow of Nain when He came upon the funeral cortege of her only son were used again by the family minister to bring peace to the hearts of Jerry's parents, Mr, and Mrs. Earl Dunaway, 835 Eastern Ave. After the brief funeral service at 2:30 p. m, the funeral cortege moved to Washington Park for final graveside rites. There the final words of Jerry's story will be carved forever on stone.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (UP)— Eddy Duchin, whose “magic fingers” piano artistry made him one of society's favorite bandleaders, died yesterday at Memorial Hospital of leukemia. Only a few hours before he died, the 41.year-old bandleader was presented with a naval cita-
tion for meritorious performance
as a lieutenant commander during World War II. He had been in and out of the hospital several times in the past year.
At his bedside were his second

Yongdungpo Topples; British, Enemy Tanks Duel Across Han River
Foe Puts Up Little Resistance on West Front; Allied Push Slowed by Mines in Some Areas
By EARNEST HOBERECHT, United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO, Sunday, Feb. 11-—The Allies scored their
) [greatest series of conquests of any day in the Korean war yesterday.
In a massive air, land and sea offensive they seized Inchon, Kimpo Airfield and the Seoul suburb of Yongdungpo. They even sent troops into the battered capital itself. The Reds put up little opposition to the United Nations offensive on the western front. But snipers appeared later to harass the advancing troops.
Considerable enemy agtivity was spotted late in the day on battle scarred South Mountain, in Seoul.
On the central front, a 9th Corps spokesman said Saturday night that between 5000 and 8000 Communist troops—believed to be Chinese—had been reported moving southeastward along the Hukchon River, three miles northwest of Cipyong.

Gls Build - Toom iFoxhole-Furnished
WITH 10TH CORPS, KOREA, Feb. 10 (UP)— Two GIs have built a three-room foxhole—glass« inclosed, stove-heated and boasting two pullman type bunks and an easy chair. Probably the most palatial foxhole of any modern war, it was dug several feet deep in the claylike mud of a Chungju rice paddy by Pfc. Ronald Coleman, Decatur, Ill., and Pfc. Jessue F. Baker, Dallas, Tex. They appropriated windows from wrecked Korrean homes nearby and topped the structuré with a straw mat and log roof. It looks like an ultra-mod-ernistic architect's nightmare but it's right comfortable. The words and music of the song “Home Sweet Home" are pinned to the.door frame with a mess knife. Pfc. Baker decorated the “front parlor” with pictures of an attractive girl—Miss Sharon Barringer, 18, of Dallas. “Tell Mom we're really living,” man.
