Seen A Flying
 Saucer? They're The Real Mccoy
(By Jack Moss)

The city that cannot boast fleeting visit from a flying saucer today is as old-fashioned as an undeveloped settlement without electricity. ..,..
 The .area encompassed by re- ports on the mysterious flying saucer extends from Main to Cali fornia and from Florida to the far north.
 Wherever friendly conversation prevails, it invariably leads to speculations on the origin, the pro- pulsion and the eventualities of this swift traveller of the skyways.
 The flying saucer stories have put considerable distance behind them in magnitude since they were touched off three years ago by Kenneth Arnold. Arnold, Boise, Ida, private pilot, reported that while flying his small private plane to Yakima, Wash, on a balmy June day in 1947, he saw nine peculiar, tailless aircraft over Mt. Rainier.
 Later the mysterious flying saucer began to appear frequently throughout the country. On Jan uary 2, 1948, a disclike object ap-

Korean Situation At A Glance ---
Thursday. July 6, 1850

munist troops stabbed 60 miles south of captured Seoul today on the heels of withdrawing Ameri- can and South Korean forces. Even so, Gen. Macarthur advised Washington the Americans situ- ation was not considered serious.
 American jets and bombers, in the heaviest air action of the war, hammered at the advancing Reds, destroying eight of their tanks and 45 trucks.
 In the face of the steady com munist push against the American and South Korean ground forces, reassuring word came from Pres ident Truman and Gen. MacAr- thur.
 MT. Truman told a news con- ference there are no present plans to call the national guard or armed reserves for duty. The President, in response to report CTS question, said of course he is hopeful that everything will work out all right in Korea.
 An army spokesman in Wash ington said Gen. Macarthur had advised the Pentagon the situation of the retreating GI's in Korea "is not considered serious in any way" The spokesman denied that an American infantry outpost had been "wipe out" byt the Red ad- vance. He said the outpost had withdrawn behind strong defen- sive positions with ''very moder- ate" losses and under approved tactical procedure. .
 The North Korean tank. force captured Pyongtaek, 36 miles south of Seoul. Then it overran Songhwan, another five miles to the south, and Chonan, seven miles beyond Songhwan.
 A spokesman at U. s. headquar- ters in Korea said 20 to 35 North Korean tanks and 19 to 25 Rus sian-built Yak fighter planes have been destroyed by American fore es in Korea. But the communists pressed on apparently unchecked, and the spokesman confirmed that the Americans had retreated from their forward positions. The spokesman said .s160 to ITO Red tanks are believed south of the 38th parallel.
 Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said last night rocket firing ESQ jets destroyed eight tanks and five trucks of the communist force pushing south from Suwon. In addition "a flight of B-26 bomb CTS destroyed 40 trucks.
 The spokesman at American headquarters in Korea said U. S. troops had been rolled back eight to 10 miles but field dispatches put the vanguard of the tank-led communist thrust at least so miles south of Suwon.
 The air war picture was less gloomy. Raids by B-29 superforts and strikes by British and Ameri- can carrier-based planes against North Korea targets appeared to have had telling results. The lack of North Korean fighter opposi- ton over Pyongyang and other targets has led to speculation that the Allied strikes against fuel de- pots left the Reds short of fuel to get their planes aloft.
