Korean Situation
At A Glace —

(Continued from Page One)
it quoted undisclosed sources to
•‘indicate” that southerners re
tained Suwon.
Without detailing exactly what
happened, MacArthur’s commun
ique said, “Late report indicate
that Suwon itself and the Suwon
airport are being held by South
Korean forces.
“The Suwon area was pene
trated by advance elements of the
communist forces on the night of
»
June 30. but apparently not in suf
ficient force to hold their gains.”
Reports direct by telephone
from Taejon, the temporary South
Korean capital 73 miles south of
Suwon, had said Saturday that
the South Korean defense col
lapsed at Suwon and the Reds
were roaring southward with an
armored column.
MacArthur’s communique said,
“There was some increase in en
emy activity south of the Han
River, but not much.”
It intimated that American air
forces might be attacking the
northerners’ bridges across the
Han, but said bad weather ham
pered both air and naval activity
Saturday.
Defying the bad weather, the;
air force steadily threw American |
infantrymen into Pusan, South-1
east Korea. They must travel 162
•miles northwest by rail to reach
Taejon. The Suwon area is 73 rail
miles still farther north.
An air force spokesman in Tok
yo said the airlift was without in
cident. He said a C-54' transport
that crashed at Pusan, killing 23
men, was not on a troop-carrying j
mission.
Tom Lambert, (/P) correspond-!
ent at Taejon, said no American
foot soldiers had yet arrived
there late Saturday night.
Monday, July 3, 1950
Communist invaders of South
I£orea slowed down their power
fill armored advance today to lay
low in the face of a fierce daylight
pounding by U. S. bombers and
fighters. Under cover of night
they were likely to move again
and possibly make their first con
tact with U. S. ground troops.
First U. S. infantry units dig
ging in at the front were greeted
by a savage 25-minute attack of
five to seven unidentified strafing
planes. For many of the young
American troops it was the first
taste of battle. For U. S. infantry
it was the first combat action
since World War II. A. U. S. ser
geant was the first casualty.
American bombers and fighters
in large numbers sprayed bombs,
rockets and machinegun fire at
the communists, four of whose
tank columns weer across the Han
River. Another Red tank column
had taken Wonju, 50 miles east of
Seoul, captured South Korea cap
ital.
American and Australian fight
er planes wrecked seven North
Korean tanks and 22 trucks and
shot down two hostile planes. The
I communists were building up
* their antiaircraft positions in the
Seoul area and carrying out heavy
bombing attacks on Suwon, but
they failed to dislodge the South
Koreans still hanging on to the
town and its airfield, 23 miles
south of the fallen capital.
Twe red tank columns were re
ported 25 miles below the Han in
a menacing break through out
flaking Suwon and its airfield,
abandoned by the Americans as
an advance supply base, but a
spokesman at Gen. MacArthur’s
advance headquarters in Korea
sai dthis breakthrough was not as
serious as it had looked at first.
Headquarters said tne neas
made no serious progress during
the day, but that nightfall might
touch off a renewed surge and
bring Americans and communists
within shooting range. The day’s
reports indicated the Red drive
was at least temporarily stalled,
probably because of the severe
pasting by the American planes.
The communist radio said
American bombers raided the
North Korean capital. Pyongyang,
twice Monday, dropping more
than 800 bombs. It said fighters
knocked down two bombers.
In Washington, secretary of de
j fense Johnson there was no pres
ent intention of mobilizing re
serves in the United States in con
i nection with the Korean crisis,
| despite worries that it might
I spread into a broader conflict.
1 Officials studied reports from
Hospital News
Fritz Carlson was admitted to
the hospital.
Buford Strickland and Thomas
Koyuk were discharged from the
hospital.
Hdng Kong quoting Chinese dis
patches from Canton which said
the Chinese communists were
mobilizing a force of 20,000 or
more men for the Korean cam
paign.
The 39 members of the United
Nations who now back U. S. ac
tions in Korea were reported gen
erally favoring the appointment
of U. S. Gen. MacArthur to lead
the U. N. effort to restore peace
by the use of force.
President Truman and Secre
tary of State Acheson studied lat
est reports from Korea. It was un
derstood these reports said mo
rale in the invaded country was
good despite the battering the
people took in what Sen. Tydings
(D.-Mo.) called a test to see how
far the communists could go in
their expansion program before
the Democratic world would call
a halt
The state and defense depart
ments, over the initial emergency
period of spot decisions, studied
the whole Orient situation with a
view of warding off possible com
munist aggression at other weak
points. The possibility of trouble
in the vital Panama Canal Zone
was not overlooked either, and
troops were on an alert status.
Moscow’s press kept up a drum
fire of propaganda against U. S.
actions, apparently intent upon
stirring the Russian public to in
dignation.
The British Admiralty reported
that neither British nor American
warships which engaged six mo
tor torpedo boats off east Korea
suffered any damage in the first
sea fight of the war. Five of the
six Korean vessels were sunk yes
terday and shore installations.'
were shelled. A rail movement
was under way of CQmmunist
troops from the area of Seoul tow
ard Suchow. Aerial observers
spotted the troop trains moving to
a concentration point north of
Suwon. At least one such train
was attacked by American fighter |
planes.

Scouts Lucky 1 o <r>
Be Americans” ^
.— T/
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (/P)
President Tniman stood up before
nearly 50,000 Boy Scouts Friday
night and told them man-to-man^
what a tough world they are
growing up in. J
It will be an even worse worl<|r
the President said, unless all
Americans work for peace and
freedom with “the same burning ,
faith that inspired the men of
George Washington’s army here
at Valley Forge.”
He broke away from his pre
pared speech at the outset to tell
the Scouts they were lucky to be
young Americans—well fed. well
taken care of.
“Today,” the President said,
“the young people of communist
dominated countries are being
mobilized and marched. . . .
“They are being made into tools
of power politics, and their mas
ters will not hesitate to sacrifice
their lives if that will advance the
cause of communist imperialism.”
