Communist Spearhead
Attacks Near Taegu;
Big Red h Coming
(Continued from Page u
smashes on the southern coastal
front had slowed the Red general
attack, but it was expected tonight
or tomorrow night against the U, S.
25th Division.
There was close fighting on the
southern front west of Masan—so
close that U. S. negro infantrymen
were using hand grenades. The
Reds were using tanks in local
assaults west of Masan, which is
27 air miles from Pusan, while ap
parently building up in their rear
for a major attack.
Death for Retreating Red
A captured Communist general
order showed the North Korean
command had ordered death to ahy
soldier who retreats. In view of
this, the U. N. forces stepped Up
the distribution of propaganda
leaflets offering safety to those
who surrender. Capture of Red
troops has become relatively easier
in recent days.
While the Reds have apparently
shifted two or more divisions east
ward in the north for another
thrust at Taegu, they still may have
si xother divisions in the area
around Taegu, or another 60,030
men. Their attacks, however, have
bogged down against successful
allied holding actions.
Guns of United States heavy
cruisers blasted the Reds at two
points on the east coast yesterday.
One cruiser moved more than 15
miles north of the 36th Parallel
to shell 200 loaded railroad box
cars at Songjin, and the other
gunned Red troop concentrations
in the Pohang area.
B-29 superforts unloaded 600 tons
of bombs oil industrial targets at
Wonsan and Hungnam in North
Korea and on rail facilities in the
battle area. P-80 jets hit at a
Pyongyng, North Korea, airfield,
after a hunt for elusive Red planes
which attacked allied naval forces.
Some 1,500 British infantrymen
marched aboard the British cruiser
Ceylon and the aircraft carrier Uni
corn at Hong Kong today, bound
for the Korean front to fight be
side American and South Korean
forces.
Formosa Question Before UN
At Lake Success, N. Y., Russia's
Jakob A. Malik, U. N. Security
Council President this month, was
expected to throw the Formosa
issue into council discussions of
the Korean crisis this afternoon.
At Taipei, Formosa, Chinese Na
tionalist leaders said Red charges
of U. S. armed aggression in For
mosa were a Soviet propaganda
weapon aimed first at opening a
new propaganda campaign against
the United States in Asia, and
second, to counter Nationalist
China's charges of Soviet aggress
ion. It also would have the effect
of -diverting attention from Korea
and confusing the issue in the
United Nations.
The new Communist move was
opened by the Red China govern
ment, which sent a message to the
U, N. charging the United States
with aggression and announcing an
intention to '‘liberate’’ Formosa. The
U. S. Seventh Fleet has been or
dered to guard Formosa from ih
| vasion.
In Washington, observers said the
,
Mrs. E. A. Rasmuson received
an English Austin DeLuxe Devon
four door sedan Tuesday on the
Ring Splice. She sold her two door
Dodge sedan to Bill Engel.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
new airstrip. A 600 foot extension is
being made.
A super rummage sale was held
at the Hooker Apartments August
10-11-12.
