Korean Situation At A Glance --.
Thursday. November 30. 1850
(By The Associated PreSs)

CBy The Associated Press)
 An estimated 80,O0O Chinese communists suddenly mounted an offensive against the U. s. 10th corps in northeast Korea today while strange Hull hovered over the critical northwest front.
 Elements of the U. $. First Ma rine and Seventh Infantry Divi- sions were encircled and isolated by overwhelming Chinese com- munist forces in the Changjin res ervoir sector. The Allied supply line was cut.
 In Washington an army spokes- man said the Marines in the reser- voir area are holding their line and are not in a hopeless position. He said they are being supplies by parachute drops.
 The new attack in the east came as the 110,000-man Eighth army was withdrawing to establish new defense line south of the Chongchon River. On this front the Chinese slowed their furious advance of the last few days, probably because they had over extended their lines.
 A field dispatch said the last American troops protecting the retreat across a key ferry point on the Chongchon withdrew safely through flaming Kunu village.
 Having forced the United Ma tions army to retreat along an &C., mile front, the communists were pausing to regroup, resupply and prepare for their next move.
 There was no indication any un- dercover decision on the diplo- matic front has stayed their hand. Their propaganda boasts are that they will remain fighting until every American is driven from Korean soil.
 The badly mauled Eighth Army has completed it's retreat over the Chongchon River. The bulk of the army has withdrawn to a line running IT miles along the south bank of the river with another 25- mile front slanting southeast to Singhang.
 Tn the northeast. the appearance of tens of thousands of additional Chinese brought new threats to

Will Use Atomic Bomb On Chinese If Necessary

HI I\OOOO0sA
 WASHINGTON. P-President Truman said yesterday active consideration is being given 10 use of the atomic bomb against the Chinese Communists if that step is necessary.
 The President spoke of this pos sibility at news conference in which he also expressed continued hope that a third world war can be averted.
 MT. Truman also made clear he is strongly backing Gen. Douglas Macarthur who has been under some criticism chiefly from abroad. The President sharply denounced a complaint by three Republican Senators that Secre- tary of State Acheson had been critical of Macarthur, the United Nations commander.
 In a statement, the President said that the Chinese communist attack made in great force, may lead to further reverses but "the forces of the United Nations have no intention of abandoning their mission in Korea"
 He said if the Chinese aggres- sion is successful in Korea, i've can expect it to spread through Asia and Europe to this hemi- sphere and added:
 we are fighting in Korea for our own national security and survival"
 MT. Truman announced he is calling Democratic and Republi- can Congressional leaders to the White House today to ask "urgent consideration" for heavy increases in appropriations.
 He said the funds to be reques- ed are needed to intensity the mil itary mobilization and speed up the atomic energy program.
 The President plainly laid on Russia the responsibility for the Chinese communist attacks in Ko- req.
 He said:
 eve hope that the Chinese peo- pie will not continue to be forced or deceived into serving the ends of Russian colonial policy in Asia"
 Appealing for unity in this country, MT. Truman asked all citizens "to lay aside differences" since the United States is "the keystone, the hopes of mankind for peace and justice"
 He said there is no indication that the Chinese communist at Lake Success is willing to engage in the normal peaceful process of discussion and negotiation"
 The President said it is neces- sary for us "to increase at very rapid rate the combinel military strength of the free nations' and
