Mountain Stalls 31st Infantry as Bulldozers Carve Path
In Korea a 1500-foot mountain blocked the List Infantry Regiment’s advance. Lieutenant James C. Benovan from Oklahoma City said following the trail would have taken a week, so six bulldozers mashed the rock and clay side by side to clear the way. Sergeant Billy Brewer of Oklahoma operated a dozer for 14 hours straight, finishing ahead of schedule and allowing the 31st to continue.

Hollywood veteran Elmo Lincoln and fellow pioneers urged studios to create a stock company with steady salaries and small character roles. They said the industry exploits oldtimers for publicity, neglects pensions, and keeps veterans in storage until needed for exploitation.
