United States divisions and two
Republic of Korea divisions spread
over $4,000 square miles.
Field dispatches from both
fronts took a gloomy overall view.
Gen. Macarthur, answering
Tokyo correspondents written
questions, estimated that more
than one-half the 100000 Chinese
were in the front echelon while
the remainder were moving up
rapidly from Yalu River bases on
the Manchurian border, in an
'undeclared war;" against the
United Nations.
Associated Press Correspondent
Don Whitehead on the northwest
front said there was no end in
sight to the United Nations re-
treat in Korea. He pointed out
that the first week of the huge
Chinese counter offensive had
separated the 9Th Army in the
West and the 10th Corps In the
East.
Each, he said, was fighting to
escape destruction and neither
could aid the other.
A still more gloomy opinion
came from Correspondent Left
Erickson at 9th Army headquar-i
ters. He said the plain truth was
that Communist commanders be-
lieve they can destroy both the
9Th Army and the 10th Corps.
The United States 9th Army
commander, 1t. Gen. Walton H.
Walker. issued stern orders last
night to destroy all bridges and
buildings restored in Pyongyang
if and when the city is finally
evacuated. His men entered
Pyongyang Octoher 10 and oc-
cupied it October 20.
Enemy Action Awaited.
An 9th Army spokesman in
the announcement, de-
clared the 9th Army would not
withdraw from any position until
forced to do SO by enemy action.
Before withdrawing, he said,

left much as it was found when
U. N. troops first entered.
The order also meant that a
store of captured
Communist ammunition would be
destroyed.

The Communist sweep around
the right flank toward Pyong-

Red strategy of one week ago
when the South Korean I'd Corps
collapsed on the right end of the
United Nations line.
First Cavalry troops were still
in contact with the Reds one mile

4 to 5 miles back north toward
that key road town from rear
positions to strengthen their line.

About 80 air miles to the south

another element of the 7th Divi-

last night on the east side of the
great Changjin power reservoir.
Except for this engagement
there was a relative quiet over the
northeast front last night. But

ominous new Red buildups were
under way on the approaches to
the important East Coast ports
of Wonsan and Hungnam.

United States Marines still were
battling their way south along the
shores of Changjin reservoir to-
ward Hagaru at the south end of
the big hydroelectric installation
that serves both Korea and Man

Hagaru itself was not under at

miles to the south. The road be-
tween the two towns still was cut
by the Reds.
Some 900 7th Division and
South Korean troops crossed

But Red forces estimated at
100000 Chinese and 100000 to
10000 North Koreans by Gen.

peril on the 9th Army front in
Northwest Korea.
There was no exact estimate of

Air observers estimated Red

But there was no estimate of the
Communists farther east in a
fianking drive which has been un-

 Our cemetery has been cleared of rubbish and scrub willow headstones have been strengthened New head stones have been placed on many graves and the Nome cemetery has the appearance of respectable place for dead.
 Now what are going to do? Go no as before with out any definite program for further use of the grave yard, with people being buried and their kindred and friends being unable to find their resting places, and in few years have the place back in the depor- able condition?
 This is the time for the Nome City Council to take action and lay the proper ordinances to care for the cemetery and keep proper record of all buras so that no more graves will be added to the 450 which have no identity.

USE THE T-BOMB
Christian Science MOnitOr)

Already suggestions put forward that the United States should atomic bombs in Korea. So far the proposal is making little headway when qualified with the statement that it should only be done if the North Koreans refused to withdraw after due warning This mention of warning suggests kind of bombing which should encounter few objections.
 Why not use the T-bomb? This was described the other day by General Eisenhower when he said:
 "The truth can almost be classified as T.
 bomb in this war. It can be won by truth.
 He was speaking, of course, of the whole 'war of ideas" and General Sarnoff has just suggested that America should really carry the airwaves battle to the Soviet with $2OO 900 900 ring of radio stations He points out that Russia is sending into the world 832 hours of program, against Americas 192 hours.

U. s. troops and carrier-based planes battered the spearhead of a communist drive along the south tip of Korea today. Other carrier planes smashed at the Reds in the central sector in blows aimed at blowing down an ad- vancing Red threat to Pusan, Ko- rea's main port and big U. $. sup ply base.
 The United Nations foothold on Korea narrowed to an arc enclos- ing the defenders in an area of less than a third of South Korea'S territory. At one point in the southwest the communists were only 70 miles from Pusan. Then American troops and pl n e s struck, and uncomfirmed reports said the Americans recaptured the port of Hadong, taken by the Reds yesterday.
 Britain, Australia and New Zea- land, rallying to the United Ma tions' appeal to stop the Korean aggression, all promised to send in ground forces to fight beside the Americans and South Kore- ans.

 On the north flank of the with drawing First Cavalry troops, un- it's of the 25th Division caught 600 North Koreans in flanking fire and beat them off with heavy casualties. The Reds returned to the attack with 800 men, but the Americans, using artillery, infan- try and supporting planes, again routed the column, which retired in the area northeast of Yongdong.
 Defense department officials in Washington acknowledged that the U. s. might be pushed back to the southeast corner of Korea, where the outnumbered U. s. troops would find it less difficult to hold against the swarms of Reds. The communists already have swept over two thirds of South Korea.
 American mad Australian planes taking advantage of good weather, roared out in support of the ground troops, smashing 21 tanks and an armored car in Mondays operations. B-29's operating be- hind the lines ripped 15 bridges and light bombers raked enemy supply lines. Other planes ranged southwest to the Kwangju area.
 The Fifth Air Force was step- ping up night operations to smash at communists moving armor un- der cover of darkness. Because of their night marches, the commun- ists have bee nable to maintain steady pressure on the central front.
 In Washington, the House of representative mapped out swift schedule toward boosting the size of the U. s. armed forces. The House may vote next week on President Truman's request for $1O,5O0, 100000 extra for the bat tie against communism in Korea and elsewhere. Administration forces pushed ahead with the task of obtaining broad emergency con- trol over business, industry and consumer credits.
 In the works is the addition of 100000 me nto the armed forces total in the fiscal year, to bring the total in the services to more than 2,000,OO0. The funds also, in the Presidents words, will help the U. s. prepare to deter further acts of aggression"
 Representatives of the 12 alli- ance nations met in secret session in London, prodded by events in Korea, to study ways of cutting a four-year rearmament schedule to two years. The delegates, form ing the permanent civilian high command of the pact, are expected to head the first report from it's military commander -in- chief for Korea, U. S. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. Informed sources said the report contained no further recommendations for the U. N., but concerned an accounting of the war thus far.

 The U.' s. carrier based planes striking in the sout hand west sec tors of Korea showed excellent results" Fifth Air Force spokes- man announced. The planes were thrown in to help gain time for two U. s. infantry divisions to get into fighting position for the ex- pected Red attack eastward. The Reds, meanwhile, were gathering their strength for running fight down the road from captured Yongdok, a rocky defile between towering mountains now clogged with the equipment of U. s. forces withdrawing from the biggest ground action of the war.
 Gen. MacArthur's latest sum- mary said American and South Korean troops held stubbornly to their new defense positions de- spite continued pressure all along the front. It said the U. S. First Cavalry Division repulsed several stabs in the Yongdok sector and inflicted heavy casualties on the tank-led infantrymen who at tackled.
 With the American beachhead on South Korea shrinking rapidly spokesman at Gen. MacArthur's headquarters declared that the battle lines in the central sector had stabilized considerably and he expressed confidence that the "beachhead can be held" But the. rosy optimism of a week ago was not in evidence.
 The Reds, flushed with the vic tory at Yongdok yesterday in which they drove out the U. s. lst Cavalry Division, made only small scale attacks east of the city today, but it was certain they would jump off soon against Kumchon.
 Kumchon, vital communications center for troops of the U. s. First Cavalry and 25th Division, is only 20 air miles east of Yongdok- 30 by winding mountain roads, but front dispatch said the tank-led Red assault had pushed the Amer jeans farther back than they had planned to withdraw and it look ed like defense plans for the sec tor would have to be revised com pletely.
 The undercutting communist sickle in the south had driven to a point 15 miles southwest of Kum- chon, but even today U. s. head quarters spokesman in Tokyo had7 said the swift Red Fourth Division push through the southwest sec tor was "unimportant" and prob ably diversionary.

Pro-LeopoId Cabinet
Is Installed in Belgium
BY the Assoeioted Press

BRUSSELS. Belgium, June g.
Belgium's first single-party gov
eminent in more than a genera
ton took Office yesterday with
determination to restore exiled
King Leopold on the throne
quickly.
The Is Social Christian party
cabinet ministers headed by Jean
Duvieusart. a commercial lawyer,
met for an hour and then ad-
journed until June 16.
Premier Duvieusart's newly an
nounced cabinet is the first in
Belgian history with more Flem-
ings-eight-than French-speak-
ing Walloons-seven. 1t is a re-
f1ection of the growing Importance
Of Flanders in national politics.
The last one-party government
was before World War I.
It was largely the strong pro-
Leopold vote in the Flemish
speaking north that gave the
kings supporters 57.68 per cent
majority in referendum last
March and that produced a Social
Christian parliamentary majority
in last Sundays general elections
Mr.. Duvieusart's government
may be the last to serve under the
five-year-old regency of Prince
Charles, brother of the king who
took over when Leopold was
barred on the basis of his wal
record and his marriage to g
commoner. It's foremost aim is tc
repeal the regency law and recall

AII-Night Session Due
For Senate Tonight
lin Rent Curb Row

The Senate faces an all-night
session tonight. to be followed by
another session tomorrow, as the
fight over continuation of rent
controls continues.
The Senate wrangled for near
ly half an hour at the opening
session today over futile attempts
by Majority Leader Lucas to OBJ
tain agreement on a time when
the Senate would vote the con-
troll bill up or down.
He ran into persistent refusals
from Senator Cain, Republican.
Of Washington, who is spearhead-
ing drive to prevent extension
of rent controls now destined to
expire June 80.
Senator Cain, with the backing
of Minority Leader Wherry, in
sisted that the first thing for the
Senate to do was to agree on q
time to vote on a Cain move to
send the bill back to the Banking
Committee.
Lucas Pledges Vote.
Tempers flared during the
wrangle and when Senator Lucas
gave up his effort for an agree
ment on a final vote, he announced
emphatically, I'VE are going to
vote on this rent control measure
if we have to stay here until next
Christmas.
He said this meant the Senate
would stay in session tonight -
"all night"-and that there would
be another session tomorrow.
Senator Cain then said he
planned to seek a vote this aft
'ernoon on a recommittal motion.
Senator Lucas started of by
asking consent to have vote on
the bill at 5 pm. next Monday.
and when Senator Cain objected
he asked consent for a vote next
Tuesday, then next Wednesday,
then next Thursday, then a week
from Monday. Senator Cain OBJ
jected to each of these requests.
The Majority Leader then
capped the row by asking if he
could get an agreement to vote
on the bill next Christmas.
No Quorum for 81 Minutes.
In an effort to expedite action
on the bill, the Senate had been
called to meet at II am. today
but a quorum could not be OBJ
tanned until 11:57 a.m.-and then
only after Senate Sergeant at
Arms Joseph Duke had been in
structed to bring absent Sen
ators to the chamber.
Senator Lucas, now busy with
a reelection campaign, has made
it clear that he regards rent con-
trolls as a major political issue.
Chairman Maybank of the Sen
ate Banking Committee told re-
porter:
I'VE have more than enough
votes to pass this If we get a vote
at a time when there are not too
many absentees."
