TOKYO, Sunday, July 2.-B-29
Superforts felt their way through
heavy rain by radar yesterday, at
tacking North Korean advance
springboards along the Han River
front south of Seoul.
They bombed with good re-
suits" through a thick overcast
that restricted fighters and light
bombers seeking to support South
Korean ground resistance farther
south, the Air Force said in a COM.
munique issued here shortly after
midnight.
All B-29s returned safely to un-

While South Korean announce
ments said all Han River bridges
had been blown up earlier, a Mac
Arthur headquarters communique
today said three temporary
wooden bridges had been hastily
constructed by the Reds.
/ Apparently seeking these new
crossings through the overcast,
the B-29s bombed bridges and

railway yards at Seoul, the COM
munique said. 1t did not specify
whether the new bridges were hit
or whether the bombers struck at
old crossings which the Reds
might be trying to repair.
Meanwhile, total of IL Amer

light bombers and transports have
been lost since Korean operations
began, the comunique revealed.
One of these was a big C-54
transport that crashed Friday on
a hilltop near Pusan in Southeast
Korea. All % persons aboard, in
cluding 5 crewmen, were killed.
The transport was not carrying
troops, an Air Force spokesman
said. The airlift of troops to South
Korea Saturday went through

MOSCOW, July 1.-The Soviet
press steadily built up a picture
for the Russian reader today of a
deliberately prepared plot of ag-
gression by the United States
against North Korea.
But an observer gets the i'm
preston from the talk and be-
havior of Muscovites that there
will be no world war.
At variance with all other re-
ports, Moscow has claimed from
the first that North Korea--not
South Korea-was invaded and
that the Communists only struck
back when the southerners crossed
the 38th parallel dividing line.
From the conversations over
heard in restaurants, hotel lob

the streets. an observer gets the
impression that the Russian
people:

will get the upper hand and stif1e

TOKYO, Sunday, July 2-The
first United States troops to arrive
in Korea today moved up toward
battle positions north of Taejon
against North Korean invaders
who appeared stalled on the plains
south of Seoul.
Taejon is 73 miles south of the
fighting front, which Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters indicate is
about 10 miles south of Seoul.
Associated Press Correspondent
Tom Lambert in a dispatch from
Taejon said the Americans were
not expected to go into action for
a day or two.
The American troops. the first
headed for combat since the end
of World War II, landed yester-
day at the southeast port of
Pusan. 1852 miles southeast of
Taejon.
Reds Massing North of Suwon.
The Communists were reported
by Gen. MacArthur's headuuar-
ters to be masSing 10 miles north
of Suwon. the strategic city 90
miles south of Seoul, which the
Americans abandoned as an ad-
vance base Friday.
By this account, the South
erners still were in control of
Suwon and it's air strip.
Informed sources said they had
reports the Communists had
moved south to within about FIVE
miles of Suwon before dawn Sat-
urday morning. This report ap-
peared to be behind the head
quarters information, however.
The movement of combat troops
northward from Taejon was in a
pouring rain.
When the two forces will clash
will depend on the weather and
the resistance of the South Ko-
reans and their ability to main
tain supply lines
The weather also will govern
the timing of new and intensified
air and naval blows by combined
United States, British and Aus
tralian forces.
Gen MacArthur's headquarters
early in the day had reported
some increase in enemy activity
south of the Han River"
The Americans apparently are
going to dig in and wait for the
Communists, whose column is be-
lieved to be led by tanks.
Whole Aspect May Change.
If the armored column, which
ripped through the United States
trained Southern army, can be
stopped and destroyed, the whole
aspect of the ground fighting may
turn from retreat to attack.
