The South Korean navy sent one LST in to the beach to pick up several thousand R.O.K. troops, nurses and South Korean civilians. The Koreans wasted no time getting aboard.

It might be legitimate to criticize the CRIMSON for not giving even more publicity than it did to the drive as a whole. It is certainly not legitimate to attack any newspaper for failure to pick out Dean Hall's favorite charity and publicize it more than the others.
