Korean Situation At A Glance ...-

 Ground forces knocked out II en- emy tanks in the area in "A hours.
 The whole Taejon valley area was alive with fire as Red artil- lery boomed and Allied planes mercilessly pasted the enemy. Taejon, from which the South Ko- req provisional government has fled, has been virtually written off for several days.
 It was the first communist at- tack in force on the bloody Rum River front since the invaders won their foothold on the south bank.
 In the central sector Allied fighter bombers hit two Red tanks in column between Tangyang and Hamchang which has been pushing in the direction of Kum- chon astride American supply lines to Taejon.
 The First Cavalry and the 25th Infantry-the latter already has tasted battle-swung into position for expected Red pushes down the eastern side of the Korean penin- sula.
 Behind the fronts Allied carrier and land based planes caught the North Korean air force in the open and destroyed at least 50 planes in two days, the Far East air forces reported.
 Gen. Macarthur triumphantly announced that the first phase of the battle for South Korea is over and the U. S. will have something to say about the tide of battle from now on.
 "We are now in Korea in force and with Gods help we are there to stay until the constitutional au- , thority of the Republic (of KoreO is fully restored" Macarthur said. The United Nations commander said the hold on South Korea now represents a firm base and i've are there to stay"
 Meanwhile, on the battlefront, there were reports of bad morale among the attacking North Kore- ans. Captives taken from the 18th North Korean Division, which was built up with conscripts around a ! nucleus of China Civil War veter- ans, said they were thrown into the war with almost no training at all.
 American casualties in the face of overwhelming numerical odds were relatively light, Gen. Mac Arthur reported and he said American strength twill continu- ally increase while that of the enemy will relatively decrease"
 The President put squarely up to the Soviet Union the decision whether the Korean war will ex- pand into World War III. Diplo- matic observers said the next move now is up to Moscow.
 The Soviet Union repeated to- day that American and British de- mands for withdrawal of the North Koreans to the 38th paral- Tel should be discussed by the United Nations security council, presumably with Communist Chi na as member. This is Russia's price for negotiating a peaceful settlement in Korea. The rock bottom American condition for negotiations is the withdrawal
