under continuous Chinese attack
which is costing heavy American
casualties, Associated Press War
Correspondent Tom Lambert re-
ported from the field.
THE Reds struck heavily again
last night and today" Mr.. Lam
bert said. They massed thousands
of men against the United Nations
forces which Friday launched an
offensive that Gen. Macarthur
said was intended to end the
Korean war by Christmas.
THE continuing Chinese at
tacks-and competent officers said
more were coming-had upset
completely for the present any
hope of ending the war so quickly.
The Americans were withdraw
ing all along the line from Yong
byon eastward to enemy-held
Tokchon, although there are some
units above that line. More with
draWals were anticipated"
Gath Division Quits Chongju.
The United States oath Division,
it's right flank imperilled by in
flltrating Red forces, pulled back
from Chongju near the west coast.
1t was the second time this
month that the battle-hardened
Americans were forced to give up
without a fight the rail and high
way city 81 miles south of the
Manchurian border.
Allied forces were being showed
back by elements of two Chinese
Red armies-more than 100000
men. Swarms Of Chinese attacked
in predawn darkness to the blare
of bugles.
A spokesman described the situ-
alton as quite confused"
Field dispatches told of the fall
of Tokchon, eastern anchor of the
line, to the Reds.
South Koreans Repulsed.
In the northeast, a surprise
tank-led Red attack forced back
South Koreans advancing north
of Chongjin, some SIS miles south
of the Soviet Siberian border.
Stlffening Red resistance was
reported elsewhere in the north
east. United States Marines, push
ing westward in a drive from
Changjin reservoir, were halted
by dug-in Chinese miles west of
Yudam.
On the northwest front, the
Oath Divisions withdrawal from
Chongju was forced by Chinese
slipping through the Republic of
Korea 1st Division lines southwest
of Taechon. The oath Division
itself was not under attack.
On the ROK 1st Divisions right
flank, the United States 25th and
I'd Divisions battled the Chinese
flercely throughout the day.
25th Division Hit Hard.
A United States 1st Corps
spokesman said the 25th was hit
hard in the Majon area, 6 miles
northeast of Yongbyon. He said
the situation there was critical.
Associated Press Correspondent
Don Whitehead, with the United
States 25th Division, sized up the
situation this way:
"The big United Nations Of
fensive to bring an early end to
the Korean war was threatened
with complete collapse today. This
was the stark reality of the situa-
ton after 48 hours of savage
fighting.
Chinese and North Korean

blow to United Nations forces. The
offensive that rolled forward for
two days has been stopped cold.

Consult Your FieIdman
Before Rep|anting

The extremely cold weather of the past week
may justify replanting of sugar beets in some
cases. Many times beets are torn up which should
not be destroyed. Where the question of replanting
occurs, we strongly recommend that the farmer
first get in touch with his fieldman.
We should keep in mind that the heavier seed
ing rate now being used is in itself some insurance
against the need for replanting.
We should also keep in mind that the new Great
Western Thinner can work on stands which would
not be thick enough for previous methods of cross
blocking or other mechanical thinning methods used
in former years.
In other words, while we all still want a good
thick stand to work on, we can now work with
a somewhat thinner stand than we used to think
was necessary for mechanical treatment
So let's go slow on replanting, and where stands
are up, be prepared to use the Great Western
Thinner as soon as the beets reach the 2-tO-4
leaf stage.
