Korean Situation
 At A Glance .-.

Continued from Page One) on, fighting doggedly for inches of ground.
 To their northwest, nine miles away, the Red drive begged down at Kigye. The defenders still held high ground south of the cap tured city, where the South Kore- an capital division weathered a thunderous artillery assault. A Red breakthrough there would put the Reds on approaches to Taegu, 38 miles southwest of Po- hang. Taegu, main U. N. forward base, is a prime Red goal.
 North of Taegu in the Uihung sector, the South Korean 9th Di- vision gave up onyl mile to a heavy Red attack. This was in the area sout hof Uihung, 18 miles above Taegu, where the Reds are believed to have massed 10000 troops.
 Between Uihung and Waegwan, 12 miles northwest of Taegu, the Reds are said to have massed five divisions in all. In the Waegwan sector, U. s. First Cavalry Divi- sion troops stormed again at hill position, but stalled half way up the steep incline.
 United Nations strength was building slowly. There now are 1,5OO fighting Britons in Korea. Today Australian infantrym n flew into Japan enroute to battle as the first contingent of an Aus tralian expeditionary force. Addi- tional expeditionary forces are arming in the Philippines and Thailand (Siam) and others have beer promised by France and Bel gium.
 B-29's kept up their punishing assault on Red supplies. A fleet of more than 90 of the air giants spewed more than 800 tons of bombs on strategic targets in North Korea-60O tons of the load on industrial targets at Chinnampo, the port of the Reds capital, Pyong- yang. Both cities were hit by car rier raids yesterday. Night strikes were made by B-29 superforts, B-26 light bombers and fighter planes at Seoul, fallen capital of South Ko- req. All bridges across the Han River at Seoul were made impass- able, the air force said.
 The Chinese communists accused the U. s. air force again today of violating China's borders. The U. S. says it has instructed it's fliers 10 avoid the Manchurian frontier carefully. The New China News agency, official Red China outlet, broadcast a charge that U. S.

 U. s. 25th infantry division doughboys counterattacked today into the teeth of communist southwest front offensive aimed at throwing the United Nations out of South Korea, and smashed the attackers back after an initial American retreat.
 But the U. s. 2nd Division, rocked by an armored and infan- try attack on the 25th's right flank, abandoned Yongsan. only 21 miles from the highway which links Taegu, main U. N. forward base, with Pusan, the Allied last ditch supply port.
 The 25th's Doughboys recap tured strategic Haman, which fell in the first hours of the commun- ist attack. It is 35 miles west of Pusan. This temporarily blunted the Red drive on the extreme southern front.
 The Reds, under orders to cap ture Masan within three days, jumped off under a heavy mortar barrage and seized Haman before the American counterattack threw them out of the town. Haman is eight miles west of Masan, major Red objective guarding the coastal route to Pusan.
 A mass Allied air attack of all most saturation proportions had slowed the initial Red drive on the southern flank, but had failed to stop it. Air observers said the planes and U. S. big guns took a huge toll of North Koreans.
 The whole attack along a blaz- ing 55-mile front was described by one American staff officer with the 25th Division as "their big eff fort-and I think it is their last one." But most of the American lines were holding.
 The Reds, however, drove a strong wedge betwee nthe U. s. 25th and the U. s. 2nd on the 25th's right flank, driving the 2nd back into an 811 mile retreat. Yong san was in flames as American conveys moved out of the town. This area is 16 miles northeast of Haman.
 Some 50,OOO Red troops were committed to the southwestern front offensive on a line extend ing from a point only 12 miles miles southwest of Taegu to the extreme southern front About 30,0OO Reds were in the vanguard, with 10000 more behind them in reserve. The U. s. First Cavalry was holding down the northern >~ nen114

phase fthe Re dattack. A second major Red offensive, signalling the final all-out general offensive, may burst into flame at any moment just north of the present one. This would be in the Waegwan area, 12 miles north west of Taegu and the most direct line to that base. In that area much of the Red strength is be- lieved concentrated.
 The crash Red Second Division may already be in action some where on the southwest front, and this would indicate that the pres ent action is the communists greatest bid to end the U. N. re- sistance.
 Allied planes rained 1,OO0- pound anti-personnel bombs, 5OO- pounders and heavy fighter plane fire on the attacking Reds in all- out close support of the defenders. The full force of Allied air power has been ordered into the big pay off battle.
 Communists bridgeheads across the Naktong River were growing in the same area, g miles south- west of Taegu, in which marines and the 24th Division wiped out the Red foothold two weeks ago.
 At IT points along the Naktong River, which has formed the main Allied defense line in the west, the Reds struck simultaneously at American 2nd Division defenders. Two U. S. battaloins were cut off, but were supplied by air and were fighting their way back to their lines. Reds swarmed across the Naktong, bringing their tanks with them.
 Bodies are stacked up by the hundreds" a Second Division off cer told NP correspondent Jack Macbeth, "but they're still com ing"
 The Reds were just as reckless in the expenditure of lives on the extreme south, where they were storming 25th Division lines in the teeth of severe aerial punish ment. Headquarters said this at- tack alone cost them 1000 killed. They were reported to have lost at least six tanks on this sector.
 Allied air power jolted the com munists but could not stop their advance. A mass Allied air raid was thrown against them on a four-mile front at Haman. It blanketed the area 18 miles deep with iellied gasoline firebombs and machine gun bullets. B-26 bombers, navy Corsair fighters and air force jet fighters rained explosives on the lines of the Ko- rean Sixth and Seventh Divisions in a pattern attack which slowed but failed to stop the Red drive into Haman..
 Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said the assault was expected and officers expressed confidence the Reds would be held. Brig. Gen. J. George Earth, 25th Division ar tillery commander, said "they couldn't have hit us at better time," and added, i've were really ready for them" Another officer said, "We've got them in the open now"
 The entire mi oht of the IT c
