There was no indication that the withdrawal was -made under attack.

It seems that WFBM-TV, unlike most other concerns in this capitalistic country, craves competition. But the federal government has an agency known as the Federal Communications Commission which is forcing WFBM-TV into being a monopoly. In WFBM-TV's case the monopoly is about as welcome as MacArthur in Moscow. Frank Sharp, WFBM-TV program director, and Dave Milligan, {who beats the publicity drums for the same station, put it this way: There are four television net{works in the East that transmit to Indianapolis over the coaxial (cable.

The landing was believed a commando-type raid rather than an attempt to seize a permanent beachhead. A front dispatch said the Communists were in “come plete flight” at Chipyong and attempting to break off the engagement. A Communist attack penetrated Chipyong's defense perimeter, but a counter-attack restored the position long before the American relief column reached the town. Another Communist assault 20 miles fo the southeast dented the United Nations line at Wonju, road hub controlling passes through the Sobaek mountains into southern Korea.
