TOKYO, July 20.-Failure of
the South Koreans to hold the
Han River line south of Seoul re-
suited in the United States "des-
perate decision" to commit Ameri-
can infantrymen piecemeal in the
Korean war.
The gamble has paid off. Gen.
Macarthur said today that North
Korea 'has lost it's chance for
victory
When the invaders preached the
wide and deep Han three weeks
ago they had a clear road-and
relatively little South Korean OPP
position-all the way to Pusap
Had they reached Pusan, the
Communists would have controlled
the whole peninsula and deprived
a relief force of any suitable
beachhead for pouring in supplies
and men needed for a counter
attack.
Told to Hold Line.
Gen. Macarthur told South
Korean leaders at Suwon June
20 to defend the Han River
at all costs to give him time. But
the line broke within hours after
the conferences.
It was decided then to pour
American Infantrymen into Korea
as quickly as possible by air and
sea. This was contrary to all
military practice.
These young, green kids, in the
loneliness of a frontline position,
first wavered. then began to hold.
At great sacrifice they slowed the
triumphant Red race to a walk
in the critical days when time was
so pressing.
At the front, these young COM
bat troops could get only a glimpse
of the power being built up behind
them. They could only hear ru-
mors of the hammering which

word can everyone agree on for

An American air group, for ex-
ample, has rs planes. A British

to Mr.. Nehru, thus ending the ex-
change.
1t was considered significant by
some American officials that Mr.
Nehru's latest note recalled India s
support of Security Council reso-
lutions calling for withdrawal OF
the North Korean invaders and
for assistance by all U. N. mem
bers to repeal the invasion. Mr.
Nehru said that in voting fol-
these resolutions sit was our pur-
pose to strengthen the United Ma
tions in resisting aggression"
Believed Opposed to Reds.
Thus, despite the honest differ
ence of opinion about the effects
of admitting Communist China tc
the U. N. now. Mr.. Nehru was re-
garded here as still firmly on the
side OF opponents of Communist
aggression and possibly somewhat
disillusioned by his latest ex-
change with Mr.. Stain.
The State Department took
pains not to offend Mr.. Nehru by
following his wishes regarding
publication of the Acheson-Nehru
exchange; Moscow published the
Stalin-Nehru exchange earlier
without Mr.. Nehru's agreement
Some diplomats regard this as an
important point in maintaining
good relations with the Indian
leader, and more important than
keeping world public opinion
promptly informed.
The Acheson note, which Amer
lean officials had hoped would
turn Mr.. Nehru's proposal with
out exciting Asiatic disapprovaI of
the United States position against
appeasement, aroused only adverse
criticism from Indian newspapers,
The Indian News Chronicle
termed Mr.. Acheson's reply "an-

Narrow View Seen.
Mr.. Acheson, said the Hindustan
Times, took a surprisingly mar
row view" The American polite
no" was due to a slack of proper
appreciation of the spirit of Pam
dit Nehru's appeal" the Times
said.
The News Chronicle said the
American note was "vitiated by
a fundamental inconsistency and
bitter with ill-concealed irony"
The paper added that the Amer

Britoin Says Russia Gives
False Impression of Talks

LONDON, July 20 (P.-Britain
accused Russia today of giving an
erroneous impression of British
Soviet peace talks on Korea.
A Foreign Office spokesman who
made the charge said he could not
give details without revealing
more of the British Russian con-
versations than he was authorized
to disclose.
Tass, the official Soviet news
agency, circulated a description
of the talks early today. Tass
began by quoting Britain as say
ing the British were bound by the
Security Councils Korean resolu-
ton and consequently could not
put forward any definite proposals
looking toward a peaceful settle
ment in Korea.
This statement tended to give
the impression that Britain was
hamstrung by the resolution and
accordingly could do nothing con-
structive toward achieving a set
tlement.
Tass did not report, as diplo-
matte sources here had done, that
Britain approached Russia in the
f1rst place and asked Soviet CO.
