Italians and Germans in the las
war-is expected to grow.
Second-A buildup of organized
guerrilla activity to harass u. N
forces both at the front and rear
Most guerrilla activity so far ha!
tbeen by by-passed North Korean
units.
AS time goes on, 'line passers'
who slip through the front are
expected to build the guerrillas
nuisance value. They are ex-
pected to furnish more intelligent
planning and better execution
Some probably will come from
special Communist guerrilla train
ing schools in Red territory.
Third-Sub-zero weather is ex-
pected to hurt the ill-equipped
enemy more than the U. N. forces.
BY spring, cold weather casualties
may have reduced the Commu-
nists' fighting power sharply.
A winter campaign, however,
does not mean U. N. advances are
not expected to continue.
Mountain Redoubts Difficult.
Arrival of the first Americans
at the Manchurian-Korean from
tier yesterday was expected to pro-
vide a big psychological uplift to
the troops.
To the east, the Republic of
Korea Capital Division will find
no obstacles of terrain in its ad-
vance up the northeast coast
toward Chongjin and the Soviet
border.
Chongjin, last big east coast
port still in Communist hands, is
only so miles from Siberia. It lis
an easy matter to supply this drive
by sea. Most sources here expect
the South Koreans to continue
winning ground. X.
But no one expects cleanup o1
the inaccessible mountain redoubts
in North Central Korea before
spring.
Looking far to the future, mosi
qualified sources except windur
of the Korean war next spring
unless a change in the interna-
tional picture brings the Reds new
reinforcements.
One Problem Ahead.
At present there is no sign Of
new enemy troops-Chinese OF
North Korean-being pushed ir
behind the northeast Korean
line. Information on the 9th
Army sector is unavailable here
but presumably the picture woulc
be the same there.
With warm spring weather the
remaining enemy forces could be
rooted out of the mountains
Mopping up guerrillas afterwards
probably could be left to the South
Korean army.
4 But one major problem coulo
arise. Communist forces might
still strike down from across the
border and find sanctuary in Man.

bania after their army was beaten
i U. N. forces, playing the wal
game by the rules, would not bt

But that is a problem which will
have to be faced after it arises.

range, but his guns would moi

fire at us first"
The weary infantrymen, vet
erans of an outfit which fought
on Attu in the Aleutians during
World War II, reached the border
just % days after they made an
unopposed amphibious landing in
Korea. The border was the end
of a 100-mile march over treach-
erous mountain roads in tempera-
lures that sometimes dropped be-
low zero.
Gen. Almond announced his
corps has liberated $4,000 square
miles of North Korea in less than
a month.
No Hint of Next Move.
There was no hint of the next
move of the 17th Regimental
Combat Team. It's position at
Hyesanjin cuts highway and
rail network that japanese mill
tarfsts built along the border
when they ruled Korea.
The Communists still can put
men across the border on either
side of this point. They could
take advantage of uncut sections
of the military road network, or
seldom used mountain passes over
which Chinese Communist divi-
sions travelled when they first
poured into Korea.
Paralleling the 17th's advance.
the South Korean Capital Divi-
sion pushed 10 miles up the East
Coast yesterday, capturing Chu-
lchonhujang, rs miles east Of
|Hyesanjin. This put the Koreans
just IS miles from the Soviet
Siberian border. :
Ahead of them lay a heavily
timbered mountain area, dotted
with solid rock and concrete forti-
fications built by the japanese.
Red Defenses Reorganized.
Beyond the northernmost tip
of Korea, in the Tumen area OF
Manchuria, North Korean units
reported to be reorganizing and
recruiting to slip back again into
Korea.
| Gen. MacArthur's intelligence
officers In Tokyo expressed more
concern over reorganization OF
Red defenses along the northwest
front.
A Macarthur spokesman said
Red armies are organizing a de-
fense system across strategic
heights facing the advancing
United States 1st Corps.
This line is about 10 miles north
of the present front. It covers
about 20 miles in the mountain
area between Huichon and An
jang.
Gen. MacArthur's spokesman
said the Reds probably were forti.
flying the peaks. From these they
could dominate highways and raj
lines leading north to the border
The spokesman predicted this
line probably would have to be
attacked frontally.

UAW Sticks to Demands

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 8.
-Picketing got rough yesterday
at General Electric Co.'S lamp
works here, and the company went
to court to seek protection for
more than 100 women workers who
have ignored a CIO union strike. :
Common Pleas Judge Erskine
Maiden today will hear a COM
pany petition for an injunction
limiting the number of pickets,
banning violence and assuring
employees free access =. to plant
gates.
Plant Manager Joseph Latta
said the company would attempt
to operate again today. but he ad-
vised employees who have contin-
ued working not to take any risks
to get inside. One woman was
knocked down and received a
bruised knee yesterday morning.
After IL pickets Of the CIO IN
ternational Union of Electrical
Workers locked arms and blocked
the main gate some 100 women
workers tried to enter. During the
confusion and while II policemen
tried to restore order, a side gate
to the plant was opened and the
women rushed in.

Creation of a new Joint Eur
opean army with a single COM
mander also would raise the prob
lem of what to do with the perma-
nent defense organization of the
five Western European union pow
ers. Field Marshal Viscount Mont
gomery of Britain is chairman of
that organization.
Some students of the problem
thought it quite possible that much
of the organiZational structure of
the Western Defense Union would
be adaptable to the joint European
army plan. Indeed, it was hoped
at the outset, particularly by the
French, that the United States
would join in full participation.
Secretary of State Acheson has
informally Endorsed the idea of
bringing Western Germany into
the Western European defense
program.
How big would Western Ger
nan army for that purpose be?
One suggestion by American ad-
Users is that the unit might run
lp to the size of a corps. "a corps

men, under United States Army
practice. During World War II
some corps at times contained as

for the Western European powers
and the United States to agree
on selection of a commander.
Recognizing that all this will
need time, the advisers are recon-
mending that, meanwhile, the
United States provide substan-
tial increase in it's present occu-
patton force in Germany, with
Britain and France doing likewise.
In the case of the United States,
even that would take time and at
this moment probably cannot be
done at all. The United States
now has in Germany one Army
division and a constabulary force.
These combat-trained elements
are part of an overall strength
in Europe totaling about $1,000
men.
The United States now has COM
mitted a large part of its effec-

in the United States are only two
or three divisions. They are
needed for reserves in defense at
home or for possible use in the
Far East should the war there
grow still more difficult.
This means that even if the
United States decided immedi-

Europe, new divisions would have
to be trained and equipped. It
