C, lio we: : selected for the regular Army, l a went to army school about a year and then received orders for a tour of duty in Japan last May. Then the Korean war broke out and he, along with many otheds, ' was flown ' to Japan and moved quickly to the front '.- ' The 24th Division, which had already made Its name in the fight ing, was Lt Adams' unit for the next couple of months. He was as signed as a rifle platoon leader and saw his first action about Sept. 1 when the. North Koreans made their all-out drive for Pusan. He was promoted to First Lieutenant when he arrived in the U. S. after having been recommended for ad vancement just before leaving for this country. Lt. Pritehard G. Adams of Faison, was recently returned : . home from the Korean war after receiving two wounds in two months. The coin he is holding at the end of a-string once belonged to a North Ko- ; . rean soldier.

KINSTON, Wounded But Hot Conquered The parents of First Lieutenant Pritehard G. Adams, Jr. of Faison did not know their son had been wounded In the Korean, war until he telephoned them from San An tonio, Texas, after returning to this country. "'. : '. ; ,-"' r' . , ' The news excited Mrs. Adams so much she had to call someone else to the phone. But her anxiety was relieved when she learned her son's wounds were not serious the reason, Lt. Adams said, was probably why the War Department had not notified the family prev iously. ' ; . i -. "' Ha had been struck in the back of the head by mortar fragments about Sept. 10 during the first ac tion against North Koreans. That wound,-plus a punctured ear drum suffered later, sent Lt. Adams home Lt Adams was woun ded on the final charge of a two day attack jtfMtfMhemy from, a strategic hiJO aetom!ritil . "I didn't even know I had been hit," he said,. "I found out when I scratched my head and felt blood." He was sent back to the Pusan hospital for 10 days where he re covered from the wound and a very disagreeable attack of dysentery. Of the two, be said the wound gave him the least trouble. v ! The sight before he was hit Lt Adams described as the worst he experienced In Korea. His rifle platoon had been assigned to an other company than his own to drive North Koreans ; off a bill. Their first attack had taken them to within 20 yards of the top be fore they ran out of ammunition and had to retire. Tbey set up po sitions at the bottom of the hill to wait for dawn. The night was a long one. ,''. ." Slipping noiselessly into the Am erican lines on sneakers, the North Koreans, fired rifles and hurled hand grenades into foxholes, then' quickly retreated shouting In Eng-1 lish, "Come and get us, boys!" . What bothered Lt. Adams the most Was struggling out and into his sleeping bag. Whenever a shot war fired, either by the enemy or a GI, he crawled quickly out of the bag-to be ready for an attack. That brief moment when getting out, no matter how quickly, one -was helpless almost as if he were up the attack .Well placed artlller fire and Jelly bombs from; locked In. i , - . At dawn the North Koreans at tacked after the first sneaking as close ' as possible under cover of camouflage. The 7 lieutenant said he got worried" when the trees and bushes he could lee outlined on the: horizon began to move.-; He sa'ld that several "waves' Of bushes movedhover the hill' before -the at tack came, and when , it did he thought they, were goner.;; - The air force and, artillery broke rtlllery ;U.,.S. planes routed the enemy from their well-entrenched, positions. Counter attacking, the Americana took the hill, and it was then that Lt Adams was hit .After returning from the hospital the' lieutenant ; advanced with his unit to Pyongyang, j The Inchon- landing had been carried out in the. meantime- and the war seemed virtually -over.
