Barth Leads Artillery and Frontline Support in Korea

Brig. Gen. George B. Barth of Leavenworth Kansas commands artillery in the U S 25th Infantry Division in Korea. He patrols the front, directs fire support, and stays with troops, visiting batteries and forward areas to aid infantry, Marines, and allied units amid heavy fighting. He recalls World War II experience with the 90th division and stresses artillery must be as ready as infantry, even as his men face infiltrations and danger daily.

Phone Rates Will Be Upped In Alabama

Alabama residents will pay 3 307 509 dollars more annually for telephone service after the Alabama Public Service Commission approved a rate hike on orders of the state supreme court. Residential bills rise 25 cents a month with higher charges for business lines and long distance calls. The increase raises Southern Bell’s earnings from 3.74 to 6.66 percent on its investment. Endorsed to cover higher operating costs, the decision follows a court remand after a token 360 000 dollar annual raise had been granted previously.
