China enter the conflict with any
United Nation crossing of the
parallel
The threat of Chinese involve
ment hovered over the battlefront
when Gen. Macarthur directed
the bold landing at Inchon, near
Seoul. September Is. That land
ing broke the military spower of
the enemy in South Korea.
Divisions Along Parallel.
Spearheads of the South Korean
Sd Division yesterday reached the
38th parallel at the east coast viii
lage of Ingu.
Three other South Korean di-
visions rolling northward on the
3d'S left were moving so fast
they were ahead of official reports.
Their advance elements probably
toed the line yesterday, forming
a front a little less than halfway
across the country.
The Korean republic, created
under United Nations auspices, al
ways has claimed sovereignty over
all Korea, as has also the Soviet
sponsored Northern Red regime.
West of the massed South Ko-
rean troops, the United States
10th Corps sent steel l-tipped spear
heads toward the 38th Parallel.
United States Marines took off
from Seoul for Uijongbu, road hub
II miles north of the capital and
18 miles south of the Red border.
Marine warplanes smashed Ui-
jongbu fiat in their heaviest strike
of the war.
The flyers used 1,000-pound
Tiny Tim" rockets to crush the
Red-infested town.
The road north from Uijonebu.
one of the main north-South high
ways. leads to Chorwon, 48 miles
north of Seoul, repeatedly the
headquarters of the North Korean
army-in-retreat.
A South Korean army spokes-
man has estimated that 100,0 900
Communists have massed in Chor-
won. But, he said, most were be-
lieved to be poorly and lightly
armed conscripts rounded Up N
haste.
American intelligence officers
said they had no solid information
on the reported gathering. They
said they had no good estimate of
how many Reds still were in fight
ing form.
Northwest of Seoul, the United
States 18TH Airborne Regimental
Combat Team rambled out of
Kimpo airfield to within "a miles
of the 38th Parellel. They were
still south of the Han river, how
ever.
The immediate objective of the
18TH was to clear Reds from
the Inchon Peninsula, extending
northwest of Seoul between the
Han river and the Yellow Sea.
They met little or no opposition
and moved about seven miles in
one day.
In Seoul itself the only action
was the mopping up of snlell Red
groups in the west and southwest.
The old capital was officially re-
stored as the republics seat of
government by Gen. MacAl thur
Friday, but it was in bad shape.

South Koreans were marched out

For propaganda purposes the
Americans were forced to parade

"This is a civil war. Not an

British in Hong Kong
Are Breathing Easier
But Keep Powder Dry
By The Associated Press

HONG KONG, Sept. 30.-Hong
Kong, right off Red China. is
breathing easier as Communist
forces collapse in Korea But the
British are keeping their powder
dry and their border guards alert.
Geography, trade and politics
give this British colony an inn
portance far greater than its size.
OF all the possible targets along
Communism borderline in Asia,
Hong Kong probably is the least
defensible.
Yet the British have never de-
waited from their determination to
hold the colony, even when the
Korean war was going badly.
$4,000 Troops on Hand.
At present the British have
about $4,000 troops here. Defense
forces were reduced to send a
brigade to Korea, but military men
here believe the remaining force
sufficient to hang on, in case of
trouble, until reinforcements could
arrive from the main Far Eastern
naval base at Singapore.
Units here now are about half
combat troops. They include
about six artillery regiments.
Singapore probably could supply
at least another division in a
few days If necessary. Two squad
rons of Australian Spitfires are
based at Hong Kong's Kaitak
airfield.
The colony sent to Korea most
of its flying boats, along with the
two aircraft carriers normally
anchored here. but this week end
one carrier returned from Korea
and another came out to Hong
Kong from Europe. Partly be-
cause Kaitak Field is crowded,
the British do not want a heavy
concentration of airpower until
needed.
Chinese a Problem.
Most of the large naval force
customarily in Hong Kong is still
operating off Korea. but several
destroyer-type ships remain here.
Their guns could reach any point
along the border where the Reds
might invade.
The big question in case of an
attack would be what the COL
ony's million or more Chinese
would do. Hong Kong's govern
ment. including police. consists
largely of Chinese personnel. So
far no signs of wavering loyalty
have been noted, but the British
have kept the border open and it
is assumable that there are thou
sands of Communist sympathizers
here.

Liberated Americans
Tell Of Being Tricked
Into Red Propaganda
By Ston Swinton
Assoeioted Press War Correspondent


WITH U. S. 25th DIVISION,
SOUTH KOREA, Sunday, Oct. /.
Liberated American prisoners
declared today that North Ko-
reans tricked them into writing
"open letters" which buck
tooth Communist civilian twisted
into Red propaganda.
While the Americans were hud-
died in a prison camp at Namwon,
the Reds, by implied threats, got
them to sign letter stating they
were in Seoul eating American
rations in pleasant surroundings.
Sergt. First Class Allan H. JAM
ison, of Fayetteville. Ark, was one
OF the Americans who prepared
the letters. After he was freed
from the prison camp by United
States 25th Division troops he
reported:
An officer came around one
day and made four of us-one
lieutenant, one sergeant, one pri-
vate first class and one private
go to an Office near the prison.
There they gave us a bunch of
propaganda leaflets they said were
written by major and some off,
GERS Of the Gath Division who had
been captured.
No Direct Threats.
They told us we had to write
an open Letter to the American
Army.
1T had to say we were in Seoul
getting American food, clothing
and stuff like that. They didn't
threaten us directly, but we knew
we had to do it.
I'VE wrote the letter, but a Red
Korean general who read it didn't
like it. We said the Americans
should permit the Koreans to
settle their own problems. He
didn't like the word permit
guess it sounded like America was
the boss. He changed it to like
Then they told us all to sign
1t. All but 10 did. A jet plane at
tackled then and the other 10
just didn't get around to it.
Then they made each of the
four Of us they had picked out
write a short individual letter to
the troops. Say they should give
up and go home they told us.
Words Are Changed.
I'VE wrote what we wanted.
Then the propaganda bigshot.
guy with dark jacket,and white
pants and buck teeth and a big
bulging briefcase changed the
words. I wonder if they ever read
those phony letters over the radio.
And claimed they came from u.s."
The alterations, in phrases
no American would normally
employ, were noted by hearers
when the Reds broadcast the
letters, thus casting immediate
suspicion on their authen-
ITCHY.
Another liberated soldier, Pfc.
John F. Allen of Maiden, Mass,
spokesman for the group, said
the Communists kept telling
them to write letters home tell
ing their families to ask Amer 4
lea to call off tie war.
He said they told him they
would take the letters and leave
them behind the front lines
for the American Army to mail.
None of the men complied, Pfc.
Allen said.

night to all U. N. members who
have delegations in New York
City. The secretariat also cir
culated copies to the U. N. men,
bers through the regular chan
nels.
U. N. Forces Speed Ahead.
AS the call to end the war went
out, United Nations forces were
speeding to the 38th Parallel
artificial dividing line between
North and South Koreans-on all
fronts. The flower of the North
Korean army had met disaster in
the south.
The North Koreans had put an
estimated 10000 men into the
line in supreme bideto drive the
Americans out of Southeast Korea
and seize the beachhead port of
Pusan earlier this month.
Now the enemy army was
broken into small pockets in the
souGh, OF was in flight to North
Korea. The bulk of it's Russian
made equipment was abandoned
in the field.
The South Korean National AS
sembly in Pusan last night adopted
a resolution urging the United
Nations forces spear on across the
38th.
Leaflets To Be Dropped.
Gen. MacArthur's broadcast
was a translation in the Korean
language. 1t was to be repeated
hourly over powerful Tokyo trans
mitterS.
Its contents also were to be
spread simultaneously by leaflets
showered over North Korea by
Allied planes.
The statement made no mention
of war criminals. Numerous cases
of alleged North Korean atrocities
against American soldiers and
South Koreans have been re-
ported.
Gen. Macarthur pre- Nlsly
warned North Korea's leaders they
would be held responsible for
atrocities.
Milder Than Potsdam.
Gen. MacArthur's statement was
milder in tone than the Potsdam
declaration of July 26, 1945, by
which the Allies demanded ia
pans unconditional surrender.
1t is believed here the North
Koreans are in far worse shape
militarily than were the japanese
in 1945.
For the North Koreans, sur
render would involve the tricky
question of war crimes. Military
officials have collected legal evi-
dence concerning all known cases
of atrocities against both United
Nations soldiers and South Ko-
reans.
1t was considered possible that
Kim II Sung, head of the North
Korean government. and some of
his top officials would be tried for
waging aggressive warfare, as
were japanese leaders.
Some officials here doubt whether
Kim would be found in Pyongyang
if and when Allied forces enter
the city.
The question of crossing the
parallel was further complicated
today by the statement of Chou
En-lai, Chinese Communist pre-
mier, that his government would
not "supinely tolerate seeing their
neighbors being savagely invaded
by imperialists."
Some military officials in Tokyo
have expressed concern lest Red

Girl Who Goes Out
With Married Man
Ruins Her Own Life

DEAR MISS DIX: am a young
girl and my mother disapproves
of my going out with q married
man. Why shouldn't do so il I
want to? find married men
much more attractive than boys.
Also they give me y better time
because they have more money
to spend. I think my mother is
old-fashioned in her ideas.
PEARL
Answer: The time will come,
Pearl, when you will wish you had
listened to your mothers advice.
There are any number Of good
reasons why q girl should not
go out with married men. The
one that should appeal mostly to
her conscience Is that when she
does so she Is doing a deadly
wrong to a sister woman. OF
course, the girls alibi is that the
man, who philanders with her
isn't true to his wife anyway, but
what the man does is no excuse
for the girls part in the sordid
transaction.
Many girls 60 around with mar
ried men because they think 1t
shows how fascinating they are
to be able to take q man away
from his wife, but that Is where
they make their big mistake. 1t
is no trick at all for. q pretty,
slim, gay young girl to wheedle
middle-aged man from a wife
who has got tired and sobered
down bearing children and help
ing him make his fortune. The
real test of girls attractiveness
is in being able to charm a young
man into assuming her board bill
and shopping ticket for life.
Occasionally a girl succeeds in
making man divorce his wife
and marry her. but not often, and
she seldom builds q house of hap
piness on the ruins Of the home
she has wrecked. Sometimes the
girl falls so much in love with
the married man who cannot and
will not marry her that she ruins
her own life by becoming a "back-
street wife," or else she becomes
sour and cynical with the knowl-
edge that she has wasted all
of her youth and beauty and en-
thusiasm on a man to whom she
was one Of many playthings.
And the silliest Of girls must
know that if she goes with mar
ried men single men will pass her
up. She will be out of their class
for one thing and, for another,
the world always believes the
worst of an affair between a girl
and a married man. Every girl
who goes out with married men
does something that she prays
no other girl will do to her when
she marries.

Friends Applaud
NiSei PacifiSt

ASHLAND, Ky, Jan. % - On his
release from the Federal Correc-
tional Institution recently, James
Katsuki Otsuka, %, was greeted by
a welcoming party
Otsuka had been sentenced to
serve a term of ninety days and
fined 500 in the U. S. District
Court in indianapolis because he
refused to pay a portion of his
income tax because of the fact
that that part of the money would
be used for military purposes. Al
though he completed the ninety
day term, he was held for an addi-
tional thirty days because he re-
fused to pay the fine.
The Nisei, member of the Soc
iety OF Friends, holds to the tradi-
tional anti-war conviction of that
group. During the war, he refused
military service on pacifist grounds
and served a sentence in prison.
Demonstrators at the prison gates
carried such posters as, I'VE Salute
Your Courage, You Did Right in
Refusing to Pay Taxes for Atom
Bombs.
