as ever. At the top of the street in

paused. Two women with shop
ping bags were walking toward

In the outer office his secretary

 North Korean communists pre- pared to flee from burned-out Chinju today ahead of a strong American offensive in the south, and other Reds retreated on the central Naktong River front in the best day for United Nations forces since the war began.
 Marines and infantrymen in the three-pronged southern offensive threatened to shaw shut trap on thousands of Red troops who had been massed for a drive on Pusan. The Reds were menaced by pin cers movement only seven miles away from a link-up.
 Gen. MacArthur's headquarters summary quoted U. s. airmen as saying the Reds were getting ready to abandon Chinju, which was to hove been their jumpoff point for a drive on Pusan, U. s. supply base 55 miles to the east.
 To the north, Americans and South Koreans battered enemy forces which threw bridgeheads across the Naktong River, menac- ing the road-rail junction of Tae- gu. The South Koreans wiped out one bridgehead, and Americans, supported by some fresh troops, reduced the others in bitter fight ing.
 -Communiques and front reports for the most part contained the most cheerful Korean was news to date, particularly in the central and southern sectors.
 In the southern United Nations limited offensive" U. s. 35th Regimental Combat team troops punched to within seven miles of Chinju, Red jumpoff point 55 miles west of Jusan. The southern arm of the offensive swung tow ard a join-up with the 35th after Marines and Fifth Regimental Combat team troops burst out of bottleneck in a night attack per sonally ordered by Maj. Gen. Will liam B. Kean.
 The 5th Combat Team troops drove to a point five miles west of Chindong and Fifth Regiment Marines fought several miles southwest of Chindong in the drive to join up with the other Americans. They had been block ed in the areas for two days by fierce North Korean artillery fire, but their night attack caught the communists off guard.

 The fresh doughboys launched a counterattack which plunged ahead for a mile half way up an important ridge against fierce Red mortar and small arms fire.
 The main fighting on the Nak- tong River front was about 30 mile sto the north in the vicinity of Waegwan and east of Kum- chon, posing a ragged threat at Taegu in an area whose terrain might be hard to defend.
 In the extreme south the U. s. Marines scaled valley walls and battled over rugged hills to rescue the Fifth Regimental unit from a communist flank attack which temporarily stalled the leather neck drive.
 On the extreme northeastern end of the front, the Reds exerted heavy pressure against defending South Korean divisions, but the attack was reported contained" '" Allied warships off ongdok pound ed enemy installations.
 Other U. N. naval forces steam ed north for long range lombard nent of North Korea's east coast. Five American warships, includ- ing a heavy cruiser, struck at Tanchon, l25 miles north of the 38th parallel dividing North and South Korea. It was the first ma jor shelling north of the parallel. British, Dutch and South Korean vessels plastered Inchon on the West Coast for two hours. It is the port of Red-held Seoul.
 American ESQ jets smashed at Seoul and shot up railyards against the heaviest and most accurate Red anti-aircraft fire of the war. Seoul was hit by B-29's yesterday. Other American fighter planes were constantly in action along the battlefronts.
 An intelligence officer at Gen. MacArthur's headquarters estim- ated North Korean losses in the six weeks of the war were A, 300 men. Washington announced yes- terday that the confirmed and an- nounced American casualties to date were 153 killed, 1,59O wound ed and 873 missing, up to Aug. 6.

cut them off. The enemy was said to be rushing down reinforce ments from the north and throw ing them peacemeal in the Chinju theratre in a desperate ef-. fort to prevent the junction of the Americans at Pansong, about eight miles east of Chinju.
 The 5th Regimental Combat team was only seven miles from a linkup with the .35th Regimental combat team to spring one trap and cut off Red escape route.
 The communique of the 9th Army reported that aggressive minded United Nations troops car ried out successful action in every engagement with the enemy"
 Elements of the U. s. 24th Divi- sion, reinforced by fresh troops from the Second Division, applied heavy pressure on other bridge heads across the Naktong in the area of Changnyong, 23 miles southwest of Taegu, where the Reds sent additional troops and some tanks across.
 These bridgeheads were to be the beginnings of the main Red thrust against Taegu. The Red plan of attack now apparently is thrown off balance.
 Intelligence officers in Tokyo regarded the Naktong crossings in the Changnyong area as major thrust, although 9th Army reports minimized them. Military men in Washington also showed concern about the Naktong River thrusts, viewing them as potentially dan gerous to Taegu.
 In the air carrier-based Marine pilots supported the southern drive by the American ground forces, hitting hard at the artill- cry and mortar which have been slowing the U. s. offensive action.
 Strategic rail and road targets in North Korea weer blasted yester- day in widespread strikes by U. s. bombers. B-29's again hit Pyong- yang, Red capital, and other stra- tegic targets. B-26 twin-engine bombers hit Inchon, communist held seaport west of Seoul.
 Marine pilots reported that North Korean soldiers used wo- men and children to prevent bomb ing of their troop concentrations.
 On the diplomatic front. U. N. Security Council members map ped strategy to break the one man filibuster by Russia's Jakob A. Malik, council president for August. Informal conferences in- volving virtually all delegations except the Russian were under way. The council recessed yester- day until Thursday afternoon af- ter a bitter debate over Korea, which Malik used as a springboard for anti-American propaganda. Malik refused to allow the Amer ican resolution of July 31 denoun- cing the North Korean aggression to come up for discussion, and tried to ram through one of his own condemning the Americans.

FATE OF PRISONERS UNKNOWN

The fate of a large number of German prisoners held by the Soviet Union is undetermined and the gen. era suspicion is that they have either died in work camps, or been executed by their captors.
 There has been number of reports of Japanese and German prisoners of war, held in what amounts to slavery by the Russians The Soviet Union has stead- fasty refused follow agreements relating to data about prisoners of and consequently the fate of thousands of the captves is uncertain.

DDT Dip For FidO
Will Control Ticks

A DDT dip for the family dog
will give protection against ticks
in the early summer when the in
sects are at the height of their
activity, says DR.. L. A. Stearns,
entomOlogist at the University of
Delaware.
1t is easier to cover a dog thor
Oughly with DDT by dipping rather
than busting with powder, although
a 10 per cent DOT powder may be
used. For a weekly dip, buy so
per cent wettable powder and use
in water according to directions
on the package. Usually one level
tablespoonful of the powder to one
gallon of water is enough.
If it is not practical to prepare
a dip for your dog, satisfactory
water suspension spray can be
made by mixing ounces (about
two tablespOOnfuls) of so per cent
wettable powder in one gallon OF
water. This spray can be applied
with a small compressed air spray
er. Saturate the dog, and repeat
the treatment about every two or
three weeks during the tick" sea
son.
The spray is not effective after
the ticks have already become at
tached to the dog. Use it before
the dog has a chance to come in
contact with the insects.
Stearns warns that DDT should
never be used on the family cat
Cats are much less tolerant to this
poison than dogs, and when they
lick their fur they may eat enough
DDT to cause illness and some
! times death.
