WASHINGTON P)-The chiefs of staff of the army and air force flew back from Korea Saturday with the word that ''our troops are doing dam we'll there, and ev- erything will come out all right" '"
 Their return from the war thea ter was expected to speed up President Truman's decision on what to do about mobilizing American resources.

Vets, Even Blind And Halt, Willing To Serve Again
(BY Hal Boyle. (P) Staff Writer)


 NEW YORK (P - Even the blind and the halt among Ameri- ca's veterans want to help their country in the Korean crisis. Dis ability hasn't dimmed their sense of patriotic duty.
 This observation comes from a woman who works for the Veter- ans Administration in Boston. She wrote me a letter on how veterans feel about the present situation in the Far East, and I think it is worth passing on, because I feel it is typical.
 "Here in Boston," she wrQte, i've have a number of amputees, several blind veterans and others with more or less serious disabil- ities, helping other veterans with their problems. We also have many men who have seen service in both World Wars.
 "Most of them hate the idea of more fighting. Most of them feel that was is not inevitable. Not one of the men-or women-I've talk ed to wants to go back in service, if it's possible to avoid it.
 However, they all think that Korea is a testing ground, and that the United States is perfect ly right in backing up its prom ises with force. Most of them feel that if it develops into another world war-well, better now than later.
 "Most of them are ready to go back into service, if the govern ment says they're needed - and that includes the amputees and the blind vets, who feel they can be of use behind the lines, just as they are of importance now to the Veterans Administration because of their training and experience and because of their understanding of the difficulties encountered by other disabled veterans.
 'The fact that these men-and women-are not rushing to re- cruiting offices to sign up for an- other hitch doesn't mean a thing. Most of us have responsibilities that we didn't have ten years ago.

Korean Situation At A Glance .--
(By The Associated PresS) Monday. July l7. 1850

MonoaYs July l7s lSSU
 Communist troops with thun- derous artillery support poured into the approaches to tottering Taejon today, paying a heavy price in blood as they threw out numbered American defenders back to new defense positions.
 To the east, Americans and South Koreans jolted the com- munists moving down on Ameri- can supply lanes, blasting two Red columns into confusion by air and unlooked-for artillery fire. Gen. MacArthur's communique said communist forces were reported in retreat after defeat by South Koreans near Kiomadang on the east coast.
 On the central sector the Amer jeans abandoned Taejon airfield, three miles north of Taejon, whense the South Korean govern ment has fled. The city was all most deserted and a deathly quiet was broken only by the rumble of battle in the distance. Most of it's normal population of 100000 had gone.
 Gen. MacArthur'S communique reported the communists massing heavy concentrations of men and armor directly north of the Rum River battle sector.
 There were reports of tanks leading possibly 40,000 commun- ists into the various Taejon ap- breaches against Americans out numbered 10 to 1.
 To the west of Taejon Commun- ost forces stabbed southward in a flanking movement. The U. s. communique said this forced or derly withdrawals from the sec tor.
 Red guerrillas were active. Guerrilla forces not only were re- porte at the outskirts of Taejon, but stabbing 1,50O strong between Yonyang and Yongchon in the eastern sector in a move which could imperil the Taegu-Taejon supply road used by the Ameri- cans.
 In Washington Congressional leaders announced President Tru- man would send to Congress We'd nesday a report on the war and what legislative steps he deems 
 A Pentagon briefing officer said American forces in Korea would hold somewhere south of the Rum River "and get built up for our of fensive." He did not predict where the stand would be made.
 The U. s. 24th Division on the main battlefront is facing the Reds First, Third and Fourth Di- visions, and possibly the Sixth, Korean veterans of the China Civil War.
 The drive, for which the Reds grabbed a toehold with a tiny bridehead across the Kun River Saturday, pushed the Americans back six miles, a Tokyo communi- que acknowledged. The Reds drove south in the area of Nonsan, 20 miles southwest of Taejon, in a flanking move which looked like another envelopment maneuver.

AGREEMENT ON F0RM05A BIG
 QUESTION NOW

WASHINGTON, Oct 19 - tR - The report that President Truman and Gen. Douglas Macarthur have reached agreement on the Formosa issue opened anew today the ques- tion of what exactly are American aims for the future of that strategic island.
 The heart of the question is: to what extent will the United States try to keep Formosa, now held by the Chinese Nationalists, from fall ing into the hands of the Chinese Communists?
 Up to the time of the Truman MacArthur conference on Wake 1s- land last Sunday, there was con siderable evidence that the two men did not see eye to eye. Macarthur clearly favored a determined policy to keep Formosa permanently out oi Communist control. MT. Truman favored neutralizing the island dur ing the Korean war and thereafter settling its status peacefully through .he United Nations.
 The key to the reported agreement may be this: although he seeks a peaceful solution in accord with other friendly nations, the President may have no intention of letting that solution take the form of hand ing Formosa over to the Chinese Reds.
 That is, the reported agreement may have taken the form of an assurance by MT. Truman to Mac Arthur that his policies, developing within the U.N., are aimed at per manently neutralzing the island.
 High Pentagon officials who re- portd anonymously yesterday that the two men had agreed on the Formosa issue did not say how or III what degree the differences as they formerly appeared or the record had been resolved.

NEW ANGLE IS. GIVEN OUT IN KOREAN WAX
Neither Chinese Commies Nor Russia Could Enter
 Conflict, Present. Time
By RUSSELL BRINES

TOKYO, Oct. 19-4R-High in- formed sources said today neither Chinese Communist nor Russian troops could enter the Korean war now with any chance of success.
 The informant added:
 Soviet air power would be the only effective aid the North Ko- reans could get from the outside in the final days of the campaign. But there is no sign the Russians will supply this,
 Instead, the Soviets have indicated since the Inchon landing Sept. Is, that they have decided to abandon the Korean Reds.
 General MacArthur is understood to share this view of the present war situation. That was the back ground to his reported statement to President Truman at Wake Island that Chinese and Russian Com munists would remain out of the war.
 Russian or Chinese participation in the war at any time during the first six weeks would have been de- cisive, the informants said. This was before the United Nations buildup cut down the original North Korean numerical superiority in men and materiel.
 But at that time the North Ko- .reans and probably their advisers seemed convinced of ultimate vic- tory. This was indicated by deploy- ment of most of the Red army around the Pusan beachhead, per- hitting the knockout blow behind them through the Inchon-Seoul drive.
