...British Churchill tank destroyed in the defense of Seoul last year, past South Korean civilians whose tentative manseis showed their bewilderment over this latest thrust of armed forces through their countryside. There was little sign of the enemy. Occasionally a single rifle shot, or a flurry of shots, rang out. Once a jeep, hustling around a sweeping curve, hit a Russian-made wooden-boxed mine; in a thundering flash the jeep sailed into a roadside paddy field. One man was led, stumbling, from the wreckage; another was laid face down on a litter and quietly covered with a blanket...

This week despite the tax bill and rail strike (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), the market rang up still another new high of 255.17.
