Allied drive nears 38th Parallel on Korean front
United Nations forces pressed on the 70 mile front chasing elusive Chinese and North Korean troops toward the 38th Parallel. Near Hongchon spearheads of three Allied columns closed within 25 miles as Fifth Air Force bombed northeast concentrations. US Seventh Division patrols found roadblocks but few enemies. 12 Communists were encountered west of Amidong with five killed. A First Cavalry unit repelled three counterattacks near Hongchon as air and artillery aided. Reports noted a large influx of enemy trucks southward and traffic north from Seoul suggesting Reds pulling back. British Canadian forces neared within four miles of Hongchon on the central sector.

Grass fire in Hemphill County cut short by volunteer team
A grass fire in northeastern Hemphill County burned about 20 sections of pasture yesterday, fanned by a 40 mph north wind. Sheriff Clyde Risley said a volunteer firefighting team formed last summer blocked spread along a five mile wide path, sparing homes and most livestock.
