American and unconfirmed North
Korean reports described a steady
Communist push southwark on
roads spanning a front S. miles
wide.
The breakout by the two
mechanized columns was launched
from the Yongdungpo area on the
southwestern edge of Seoul
Earlier, reports from Taejon said
two other columns had pushed
south from positions east of Seoul.
Moving southeastward, these
columns outf1anked Suwon, with
its air field 20 miles south of
Seoul. A United States spokes-
man at Taejon called this devel-
opment serious.
Planes Attack Columns.
Both columns were brought un-
der attack by American warplanes
just before dark yesterday. One
pilot said one of these eastern
columns had. IL tanks and the
other column had q number of
trucks.
The tank-led columns on the
west crossed the broad Han River
over a repaired railroad bridge
which had been blown by the
South Korean defenders. A pom
toon bridge also had been thrown
across the Han.
Suwon and its important air
field was a no-man's-land ais late
as last night. Ten North Korean
Yak fighters attacked Suwon's air
field. Observers there said four

Brig. Gen. John H. Church, who
was chief of the advanced Amer
ican echelon in Korea, will become
senior headquarters liaison officer
under Gen. Dean.
Aerial observers spotted troop
trains shutting down from the
Seoul area to a concentration spot
north of Suwon. These sources re-
fused to pinpoint the concentra-
tion area. The Communists said
they had column driving at
Suwon from the west also.
Tanks were not seen on the
trains.
At least one train on the 23-
mile stretch between Seoul and
Suwon was attacked yesterday by
American fighters. But the traffic

Macarthur Aide Issues
Statement on News Reports

TOKYO, july 3 (P.-Follo1o-
ing is the tert of the statement
ON ne,Ds reporting of the Korean
conflict issued By Col. M. p.
EchoIs, Gen. MacArthur's pub
Tic information officer:
The word censorship is abhor-
rent to Gen. Macarthur, as 1t is
to all believers in freedom Of the
news and a true democratic So
ciety. For this reason Gen. Mac
Arthur has asked me to call to
the attention Of members Of the
press the fact that inaccurate and
irresponsible reporting endangers
our interests and the lives of our
soldiers. sailors and airmen en-
gagged in combat against sinister
aggressor.
Reports naming specific units,
sizes. titles. places of landings, To-
cations and troop movements as
well as yilification of our armed
forces personnel, are against the
security of the headquarters to
which you are accredited.
Gen. Macarthur does not desire
to invoke censorship. He prefers
that the press establish a volun-
tary code that will ensure the se-
curity of operations and the safety
of personnel by preventing detri-
mental information being made
available to hostile forces. A true
and democratic free press, it is
believed. will accept this challenge
and demonstrate that it can be a.
responsible press.
The following are a few simple
rules that should be obvious to all /
but which are repeated in case
some inexperienced correspond ]
ents need them for a guide. Z
/. Do not report movements,
proposed or in progress. :
2. Do not name locations Of .
units. air bases. headquarters or
any installations.
8. Refer only to major units:
5th Air Force, 28th Air Force. 9th .
Army and 7th Fleet after official
announcement Of their commit
ment. For smaller units use such
expressions as "B-29s from the !
goth Air Force" units from the
9th Army" task force from the !,
7th Fleet with British ships at
tackled" etc.
Keep in mind at all times that
the telephone is not secure. Sc
curity consciousness must start at
the source, with the correspond
ents in the field. and continue
through to the end.

Even with most of the city,s
park space crowded, nearby
beaches reported record crowds OF
Washington visitors. One '2h-
year-old Boy who evidently was
stricken with wanderlust, was
found in Rock Creek Park yester-
day afternoon.
A 10th precinct scout car took
the lad, identified later as James
Vernon Lee of 3548 Georgia ave-
nue. NV, to the Woman's Bureau
which took charge of him until an
uncle. Elwood Lee of the same
address. picked him up. Police
said he had been LOST for almost
six hours but remained upper
turbed throughout. He is the son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Lee.
Although the Glen Echo Park
did a rush business all day, some
OF the city's non-segregated pools
reported surprisingly sparse
turnout. At East Potomac Park
the crowd hit 1880, far below
capacity. The, Anacostia pool,
which usually can handle up to
1000, had only 274, 206 of which
were colored.

can observers who have seen them
say they resemble the German
Mark w.
Their air force, Of an esti-
mated 100 planes, is composed of
Yak fighters that were obsolete
before World War II.
Their artillery is effective
against the South Koreans. It
should be remembered that many
Koreans live in the bronze age
and pull their own plows If they
are too poor to own a buffalo.
Against this there is the vast
military might Of the greatest in
dustrial nation on earth.
That so far Gen. Macarthur
has dispatched only one division
to Korea is measure of, the re-
gard he holds for the North Ko-
rean forces. But other divisions
stand ready in Japan If needed.
Ancient Battle Ground.
Korea is an ancient battle
ground over which Genghis
Khan's hordes once swept. It is
not a hospitable land. Its low.
deforested hills are rocky and
eroded. It has few roads and
those 1t has are virtually I'M
passable except for the sturdy
jeep.
The first American troops ar
rived in a steady downpour that
will likely continue for three or
four weeks. For this is the rainy
season. AS much as 20 per cent
OF the country's annual rainfall
occurs during this season. It is
not uncommon to. get 8 inches
OF rain in "a hours.
Consequently, movement Of
troops and heavy, equipment is
difficult. Rivers are flooding and
bridges being washed out. To left
and right Of the roads there are
only rice paddles.
In short. Korea is one vast quag-
mire.
AS II rain were not enough to try
American patience there are the
Koreans themselves. The Koreans
are funny people. They'll save
your life and steal you blind.
Korean thieves who watched
with great sorrow as American
troops pulled out Of here two years
ago are overjoyed now that they're
back.
I would probably be a Com
munist prisoner today if the
Koreans hadn't helped me escape
from Seoul last week as the city
was falling. They literally carried
my jeep across the river and lifted
it out of rice paddles dozens of
times.
But the same day I arrived in
Taejon. the Korean Army military
police stole my jeep and were bus
lily scraping of its United States
markings when apprehended.

Citizens in Southeast
Charge Discrimination
On Dental Clinics

DR.. A. Harry OStrow, director of
The bureau of dental service for

cused Of discriminating against
the Southeast section in providing
dental clinics for school children.

meeting of the Southeast Citizens
Association by Mrs. Oscar Chris
tianson, secretary.
'Dr. Ostrow has been claiming
that dentists will not work for the
salary that the Health Depart
ment pays them at this time" she
explained. THAT is his explana-
ton for the fact that the dental
clinic at Buchanan Elementary
School has been closed for the
better part of two years.
Denies Accusations.
"Dr. Ostrow has not explained
why dental clinics in the North
west section of the District-a
section where dental service can
be better afforded by parents
have been operating during that
same period"
DR.. Ostrow today denied the
accusations.
1T isn't true at ALL" he said.
1.-THE whole problem centers
around a manpower shortage.
Dentists will not work for the
salary that we must offer them.
The situation has been brought
to the attention of the Commits
sionerS many times"
The association appointed Mrs.
Christianson and Orrin Davy, vice
president of the group, as official
delegates to visit DR.. Ostrow and
impress him with the necessity of
