UN Troops Retake
Kaesong From Reds
TOKYO, June 21—<W—United Nations troops drove
back into Kaesong, last major Communist-held city south
of the 38th Parallel, on the Korean western front today.
Kaesong, 35 miles northwest of
Seoul and three miles south of
the parallel, was the first city to
fall to the Communists in their in
vasion of South Korea last June
25.
UN patrols pushed into Kaesong
before dawn today and again this
afternoon against little or no en
emy opposition.
Red forces still hold high ground
overlooking Kaesong from the
northwest, however, and the Allies
apparently made no immediate at
tempt to occupy the city.
The 38th Parallel passes through
the enemy-held heights and the
new Red troops on the southern

Bad Ammunition I
Gets Blame For
LeJeune Tragedy
CAMP LeJEUNE, June 21
—(lP)—Bitter, saddened Mar
ines who saw their buddiqjt
cut down by mortarfire on
a training mission said they
felt sure the tragedy wa*
caused by bad ammunition.
Investigators were still question
ing expert weapons crews to find
out why two mortar shells fen
short of their target, killing eight
Marines and wounding 23 others.
But in the eyes of the men on the
■problem, it was clearly an accident.
The men had been gathered a
round a battalion command post
when the two 86-millimeter shells
ploughed in, showering destruct
ion in every area. Members of
the company who escaped told re
porters they were in a heavily
wooded area, near the New River.
The shells struck simultaneous-*
ly ,one private said.
SCENE WAS HORRIBLE
“At first I didn’t kpw what
happened. “I heard the whistle of
the shells and they seemed to be
coming too close. When the shells
str.’ck, I was knocked to th<s
ground by the blast, and dazed for
a few moments. When I got up,
men. were screaming all around me.
It was horrible.”
A sergeant in another unit, about
25 yards back, said he thought the
first shell hit a tree and was de
flected into the CP before it ex
ploded.
“We were operating about 2,000
yards forward of the battalion com
