Te spent all of yesterday in bed with a slight fever under his physician's advice not to step outdoors until it was time to board the Queen Mary to return to England. Mr. Churchill spent his time working on state papers relating to the momentous decisions he reached on some of the biggest issues of Western strategy Fearful that the 77-year-old British leader might catch pneumonia as he did twice while traveling during World: War. II, his physician, ordered him to remain indoors. His visit, which began with his arrival here last Jan. 5, ended with these agreements: ONE: Use of American air bases

‘Human Tank’ Bowls Over Reds

By ED KENNEDY ~ Times Staff Writer

WITH THE 7TH INFANTRY DIVISION, Korea (Delayed) — The Human Tank. That's what S/Sgt. Otis Tank, 704 Fayette St., Indianapolis, has been called by his buddies over here ever since his 24th birthday last Aug. 27. That was the day his platoon was pinned down and the ser-

geant charged a bunker full of ;

Reds.

A Commie slug failed to stop j

the Human Tank and he wiped out: 24 enemy soldiers with his Browning automatic rifle. Disregarded Personal Safety Sgt. Tank's Silver Star citation reads: “While advancing he was painfully wounded, but with complete disregard for personal safety he refused to be evacuated until the objective was taken and the enemy destroyed.” Sgt. Tank had to wait till he got out of the hospital for his birthday present from the Army —a brand-new 50-caliber machine gun,

Now he heads a heavy machine'gun squad ‘in K Co., 3d battalion of the famed 31st “Polar Bear” Regiment.

These the men build of sandbags, logs and stones, just behind a ridge from which they observe and shoot at the Reds. Morale among these” front line soldiers is outstanding. Dangerous missions draw plenty of volunteers who appear eager to fight. Mail service is good, Sgts, Tank and Wilson told me, and hot chow is carried up to them from the valley twice .a day.

Although the temperature often falls below zero at the front, they keep fairly warm &nd comfortable. Charcoal burners heat the bunkers, and the men have heavy clothing and Arctic sleeping bags. Now they're being issued the warmest combat boot ever designed. Which makes good news today for the home front. For the enemy. the Human Tank, Sfe. Wilson and men like them are bad news every day.
