Official Korean War Reports

August 2-3 to consolidate the
United Nations line.
Retrograde movements were
made toward the good defensive
terrain near the Naktong River.
Highway bridges have been de-
stroyed at strategic points of the
roads leading into the friendly
areas north east of Hinju.
In the south one of the Ameri-
can units made an attack to
within three to five miles of
Chinju against rather spotty
North Korean resistance during
August 2. Yesterday evening it
returned to its former position.
Throughout the whole battle
line very few reports of real con-
tact with the enemy have been
made, primarily because of the
nature of the current action
Each unit is maintaining contact
with the enemy, however, in order
to keep informed of their loca-
ton. One report received stated
that the enemy closely followed
the 1st Cavalry Division when ii
moved to the rear.
The one spot where the offense
is being stubbornly pursued is in
the Yongdok area. The South
Korean Sd Division, supported by
artillery, naval fire and air strikes,
has advanced to the town in the
face of heavy enemy opposition
and has continued in pursuit of
the enemy retreating to the north

French Debate Sending
Token Force to Koreu
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 3.-French govern
ment leaders are debating sending
a token battalion" of troops to
fight under the United Nations
flag in Korea, a spokesman said
today.
French sources said the main
obstacle to dispatching French
men to Korea is Frances "own
dire need of military strength in
Asia"
France has been fighting a
guerrilla war for five years against
Communicated troops in Indo-
China, and has some 100000
troops stationed there.

Insurance Group Decides
AGAINST War Risk Clause
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-An advisory
committee for State insurance di-
rectors decided today that the war
situation is not so serious as to
necessitate general use Of war
clauses in insurance policies.
The committee of the National
Association of Insurance Com
missioners conducted a tWo-day
hearing among 200 life insurance
leaders.
After the hearing the committee
decided to recommend to the as
sociation that the so-called result
clause" be approved for use il
submitted by the industry.
This clause provides that the
face amount of the policy is not
to be paid if the holder dies within
a certain period as a result of war
action. The beneficiary would get
a limited payment, such as return
of premiums, with interest.
The committee recommended
further study on the question of
using the "status clause" This
concerns men in military service
outside the continental United
States who are killed by a means
not directly connected with war.

One, Senator Saltonstall, Re-

that since the Korean war started
Mr.. Truman has asked for $16,-
GAO, 0,00O,0 900 in supplemental ap-
preparations, including the 81 bill
lion additional for arms aid.
There is no question in my
mind" Senator Saltonstall said,
that priorities must go to the
providing of arms for the protec-
ton of our citizens and for those
of friendly nations"
The amount now contained in
the bill for the Marshall Plan, ex-
elusive of a $276,761,473 carryover
fund, is ,450,0OO.O0o-as COM
pared with President Truman's re-
quest for $2,657, 100000.
The proposed 10 per cent cut
would apply both to new funds
and the carryover for total slash
of $272, $4,000.

Senate Appropriations Committee
not including the $100 million
Spanish loan voted Tuesday.
The -the-board cut spon-
sored by Senators Bridges. Re-
publican, of New Hampshire and
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia had
the support of more than 80 other
Republicans and Democrats. It
was aimed at slashing an esti-
mated $500 million from the
measure.
The first two amendments up
for a vote provided:
I. $64 million for the National
Health Institute for cancer, heart
disease, mental and dental health
activities. The committee recon-
mended only 100000.
2. $25 million for the Maritime
Administration for the immediate
reconditioning of more than 100
military ships now tied up at At
lantic. Pacific and Gulf Coast
ports.
While the Senate was arguing
yesterday about whether the Mar

Armed Services Committee to urge
speedy approval of another foreign
aid request.

mendous defense effort, to be
undertaken with the utmost speed,
and that need must be answered
by each of US who bears meas
ure of responsibility for the fu-
ture security of our country, :"
Mr.. Acheson told the committee.
He said that the United States
and its friends have a tremen-
dous defense potential-more
than enough to deal with the
threats which confront us. But
we must with the greatest speed
translate that potential into de-
fense in being.
"A tank in Korea today is
worth many tanks on the drawing

Military preparedness also
cropped up in the Senate de-
bate.
Senator H. Alexander Smith,
Republican, of New Jersey, who
sought to have the Marshall Plan
exempted from the 10 per cent
cut, said the economic program
should be considered as a de-
tense measure.
He argued that the cut would
jeopardize the economic stability
Of the Western European nations

ability to defend themselves.

Reds Lose Tank Strength.
The Communists, Gen. MacAr-
thurs spokesman said, have lost
most of their tank strength. They
were reported regrouping and get
ting ready for the drives toward
Pusan and Taegu, which is
scarcely seven miles from the
Naktong, SO miles northwest of
PuSan.
At least half a division of Reds
had been added to the two divi-
sions in the Chinju area. The
battle-tried Oath Division matted
the Reds in the hills there.
One column of Communists was
forced into a defile by the Ameri-
cans on the Chinju front. Fighter
planes dived on them, blasting
the Reds with rockets and ma
chinegunS.
Gen. Macarthur in his war sum-
mary last night said the North
Koreans had recklessly thrown
away thousands of lives.

Americans east of Chinju counter

ganize a threatened Red offen-
sive."

A front dispatch from Hal
Boyle, Associated Press war cor

said the Red fire was aimed to

Army Asks Inquiry
OF Reports Fan Belt
hixup Lost ; Tanks
By John A. Giles

The Army today asked Gen.
Macarthur to investigate reports
that American tanks were being
lost in the Korean fighting be-
cause of lack of replacement fan
belts.
It was the second such inquiry
the general has been asked to
make. Previously, the department
asked for a report on press dis
patches that signal equipment and
wire shipped hastily from Okinawa
had arrived in poor shape. That
inquiry has not been completed.
An Army official, disclosing the
fan belt inquiry, commented that
the reports on the incident showed
the compleXity of modern war. He
added that more and more logisti-
cal problems would be evident in
the weeks ahead as the American
lines were stabilized and the build
up for a counterattack continued.
No New Full Divisions.
There were these other devel-
opmentS here on the Korean war:
l. Officials emphasized that re-
Inducements now moving in were
only elements of the two divisions
to which there has been repeated
reference ever since their depar-
ture from the West Coast. The 1st
Marine Division is not a full divi-
sion, they pointed out. It's accom-
panying aviation wing is COM
mensurate with the ground unit.
Neither has the I'd Infantry been
moved in full as yet.
2. However, additional Marines
will be dispatched to the front
and one source said a full division
eventually would be on the scene.
3. Many of the reinforcements
to be dispatched within the next
few weeks will be supporting
troops, such as signal and engineer
outfits. Generally, the infantry
men and artillerymen will come
from the Regular Army and a |
large portion of the supporting
outfits will be Reserve and Ma
tional Guard.
Great Distances Blamed.
The dispatches referring to the
fan belts said three tanks were
idle on the front lines because
they were without belts. A hur-
ried call was dispatched. The
first belts to arrive were the wrong
size; a second box sent after q
second call was found to contain
pistols. The tanks were lost to
the enemy.
Army and defense officials have
been sensitive from the start of
hostilities about reports that Gen.
Macarthur was not getting all
that he called for. They have en-
phaSized repeatedly that such re-
ports were not true; that great
distances over which men and
supplies must be hauled caused
the repeated defeats which have
befallen American troops in the
delaying action.
New Tanks Promised.
American troops will have to
fight the holding phase with
World War II tanks, some of them
improved since 1945, but they may
get some postwar types by the
time the embattled 9th Army can
shift from the defensive and start
the long way back to the 38th
parallel, officials said.
The Korean war caught the
Army in the transition period be-
tween old and genuinely new
armor, but it was pointed out
that the North Korean Reds also
were using Russian World War II
types.
New improved medium tanks,
with Comm. guns, will arrive in
Korea from the United States
within the week. The Marines
also took some of the improved
models, but great numbers of
them should begin appearing in
action soon.
