Frontline odds shift as fresh troops reach Pusan
In Korea the U S infantry facing a four to one Red edge gains new units from the States.

Meanwhile Alcoholics Anonymous marks 15 years with a global convention and a surge to nearly 96 000 members in 35 nations. A reader asks about a son’s late hours and possible military school or service enlistment as a path to discipline. A wife seeks advice on a money dispute with a nontrusting husband, and a column notes a windshield glass tech reducing infrared heat in bright sun.
