...hunting down the criminals. Observing a kids' shack near by, they checked schools and churches, found that three boys had lifted the valuable pellets, thinking they were fishing sinkers.

By last week the enemy had so much flak that it was strung out along the North Korean rail lines, in addition to the lethal concentrations around the important targets. In spite of the U.N.'s high losses, the battle has not been one-sided: since Operation Strangle started, the U.N. claims to have destroyed 900 Red antiaircraft gun positions, damaged 443 more...
