Hartman S Tokyo Trip
Points 10 New Far East
Political Decisions
By John M. Hightower
Associated Press Stoff Writer


member of President Truman S
executive staff indicated today
that major Far Eastern political
decisions may be in the making
w. Averell Hartman, Mr.. Tru-
mans special assistant on foreign
affairs. left by plane at 9 am.
today for conferences with Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. He is due
to return to Washington next
Wednesday.
The President announced the
trip at his news conference yes
terday. He said Mr.. Hartman
would be accompanied by Gen.
Lauris Norstad, assistant chief of
staff of the Air Force, and Maj.
Gen. Frank B. Lowe. They will
return next week and Mr.. Harri-
man will report promptly to the
President.
The purpose of the trip, Mr..
Truman said, is for Mr.. Hartman
to discuss Far Eastern political
questions with Gen. Macarthur.
1t was understood that Mr.. Har-
riman wants to get first-hand in
formation on Far Eastern condi-
tions and problems arising out of
the Korean crisis.
Issues to Be Discussed.
Diplomatic authorities said is
sues which appear certain to be
discussed and which are moving
toward the point of American pol
icy decisions include:
l. The 38th parallel-from the
beginning of the Korean fighting
there has been a question as to
whether the United Nations forces
under Gen. MacArthur's command
should stop at the 38th parallel
once they have generated a sue
cessful drive against the North
Korean Communists. That line
divides Northern and Southern
Korea. American officials re-
portedly feel that the final de-
cision should be worked out with
other U. N. members opposing ag-
gression in Korea. Apart from this
the United States will first have
to determine what action it feels
would be best to take.
2. A final Korean settlement
One of the big problems in the
Korean crisis is what kind of final
settlement the United States and
associated members of the U. N.
should seek once they have
achieved victory over the Com
munist invaders. Officials are de-
termined to make arrangements
which will exclude any recurrence
OF Communist attack and that
probably means unifying the coun-
try under non-Communist leader
ship with U. N.-sponsored elections
to follow.
May Clarity FOrmosa Status.
3. The future status of Formosa
-AI1lCl lCdll AlOfCO w p1OONSC I1lC
Chinese Nationalist island from
Communist invasion have left
this question wide open except
that there is no longer any dis
position here to write off Formosa
to the Chinese Red regime. The
island may continue under Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek in
definitely but most Washington
authorities believe its legal status
must be clarified either in a jap
anese peace treaty or through
U. N. action.
4. A japanese peace treaty
the dominant view in Washing
ton now is that this Government |
should take the lead in getting
ahead with a japanese peace set
tlement as soon as possible. That |.
involves critical questions of Jap
ans future defenses and of
American security interests in the
Western Pacific.

Korean Release No. 200, issued
at 1:45 pm, Korean daylight
time I1:45 pm. Thursday.
EDTJ:
United States Far East Air
Forces and Royal Australian Air
Force combat aircraft continued
to mount daily average of more
that 400 air strikes against North
Korean Communist armies on
August 3.
B-29 SuperfortresseS of the
FEAT Bomber Command again
struck heavily at a strategic tar
get in the North Korean industrial
and port city of Roman Ham
hung in an attack which was
believed to have inflicted serious
damage on the third major tar
get in the area.
The target for yesterdays at
tack was the Begun chemical
plant, one of the three chief cogs
in the Roman chemical-explosive-
non-ferrouS metal manufacturing
complex. Roman is one of the
largest installations in the Orient
Bombs Dropped by Radar.
Heavy cloud cover over the tar
get during the first phase of the
attack required one group of the
medium bombers to drop their
bombs by radar sighting. No re-
suits were observed, but a second
group of B-29s were able to make
visual bomb runs through scat
tered undercast. Direct hits were
made on the chemical plant fol-
lowed by fires and other indica-
tions of damage in the target
area.
Approximately 400 tons of high
explosives were dropped in this
strike, which was only slightly
smaller than attacks on the other
two large plants in the area on
July 80 and August /.
Other B-29s attacked selected
bridges essential to the move
ment of North Korean supplies
and material south of the 18Th
parallel.
| Spans were reported down or
bridges at Hadong and Sunchor
in the southern sector and at No
song % miles northeast of Chonju
The west railroad bridge at Seou
was bombed and direct hits were
scored on one span and the south
approaches.
In an attack on targets 10 miles
northwest of Namwon. the bomb
ers hit what was probably an OF.
and gasoline storage dump in the
village of Osu. Widespread fires
and smoke rising to 10000 feet
were seen by crewmen following
the bomb drop.
! Night missions by 5th Air Force
BIG light bombers were flown
to Seoul, Suwon, Sunchow, In
chon and Pyongtaek. Roads, ve-
hicles, railroad yards and other
targets were damaged in these
night attacks. Large fires were
observed in Pyongtaek after 9

TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. S.
The, te.rt of Korean release No.
201, issued at 1910 am. 30
am. EDIT, Friday toIlolOS:
Latest reports tonight, August
4. indicate no letup in the heavy
pressure along the Chinju-PuSan
axis.
The enemy is still unable to
advance in this area due TO
counterattacking American forces.
The fighting continues along an
arc running from 20 miles south
east to IL miles east to Is miles
northeast of Chiniu. Enemy dead
was estimated at 600 in this area
during fighting on August 3.
Except for both friendly and
enemy patrols the remainder of
the front is still disengaged. Indi-
cations are that the Communist
forces are regrouping. with the
possible shifting of two more
divisions to the fighting in the
south.
The fighting in the Yongdok
vicinity is reported as con tlnuing
with heavy artillery and mortar
fire from the enemy. However
positions were reported as stable.
The column of 45 tanks reported
earlier Gin the August 4 brief1ng)
as moving southwark from Suwon
and Taejon have been found to
be wrecks of tanks previously
destroyed.

of manpower. We excel in the
techniques of rapid and controlled
massing of different fire means.
Actually the beachhead is just
a conventional artillery setup on
a limited scale. But the enemy has
little artillery. We do not need to
divert our guns to knock his out.
And our observation planes have
free rein of the skies"
American artillery is spotted
throughout the perimeter. 1t
ranges from hulking self-propelled
155-mn. howitzers to cocky little

nerve center is in a crowded tent
well away from the guns.
There you can see 'measle
charts" Spotted on them in red
and blue are scores of concentra-
ton numbers-registered target
areas covering every possible route
of enemy approach.
Shells hit every "measle" during
the night. And if the forward ar

day night 80 Reds walked into one
"meaSle" and were dead seconds
later.

be called down within 200 yards
of American outposts.

HUNGNAM BEACHHEAD, Ko-
rea, Dec. 81 DelayeO ARTILLERY
is queen of the beachhead battle.
The Army's and Navy's big guns
reach out to rip the enemy when
he still is well back from Ameri-
can lines. That's why so few
American soldiers have been
killed or wounded here.
Carrier based planes keep the
Communists pinned down during
the day. At dusk the artillery
begins to lay its wall of explosive
death around the front; it throws
out up to 10000 shells before
dawn.
1t is the first time in the Ko-
rean war that the artillery has
come fully into it's own.
BY World War II standards
there are not a lot of guns. But,
says Brig. Gen. Roland p. Shugg,
the beachhead's top artilleryman,
. american artillery technique is
abreast or ahead of any nation. %
ARTILLERY has come into its own
here because of the character of
the operation" said Gen. Shugg,
an artilleryman in three wars.
IAN Army goes on the defense
because it is not strong enough
in manpower to attack. So on the
defense it uses gunpower instead

Sergt. Canter's injury brought
him a cluster for the Purple
Heart he had been awarded about
a month earlier.
His first injury came when a
North Korean ammunition truck
exploded about 40 feet from his
tank and left him temporarily
deaf.
"The biggest thing left of that
truck was its engine" Sergt. Cam
ter said with big laugh, land
it was lying on a tank behind us. I"

Arthur observed:

In Northeast Korea. American
rapid-flre rocket ships moved
close inshore at Hungnam yester-
day and joined other warships,
planes and field artillery in laying
a fiery shield from close range
around the beachhead.
Use of the rocket ships in de-
fense of the Hungnam perimeter
for the first time indicated that
the Reds are closing in.
The fiat trajectory and COM
paratively short range of the
rocket ships indicated the Reds
were being held at bay closer to
the beachhead.
No description of the vessels
was given. but rocket firing craft
were used to support the Allied
landings at Inchon on the West
coast in September. They were
used also late in World War II.
Associated Press Correspondent
Stan Swinton reported small but
persistent Red efforts to pene-
trate the northern flank of the
perimeter were beaten off by
American doughboys early TODAY.
Intense allied firepower still
thwarted Red attempts to build up
slzable assault forces.
Chinese appeared to have been
replaced by North Koreans in the
Hungnam sector.
Gen. MacArthur's late Friday
war summary said it was possible
that the Chinese had moved
Southwest across the peninsula
and into action near the 3sth
Parallel above Seoul.
The summary said the use of /
pack horses and camels northeast I
OF Chunchon suggests that the
attackers were Chinese Com
munist forces"
Thus far, however, no Chinese
troops have been reported identi- |
