18th Army's SkiFuI Retreat
Planned Before Reds Drive

staff officer said, it was apparent
the Army had to withdraw in the
face of such odds. On that day an
order went out from 9th Army
headquarters for the divisions to
pull back to a small bridgehead
north of the Chongchon River
roughly the starting point of the
Allied offensive.
This decision was made to CO.
ordinate the pullback and also to
regroup the forces for renewed
attack in case the Chinese were
making only a limited counter
attack.
But by November % it was ap-
parent the Chinese were making
an all-out drive with powerful
forces. And so on November 90.
the 9th Army began it's with
drawal under orders from Gen.
Walker.
The End Infantry Division and
the Turkish brigade were moved
across the roads leading from
Tokchon to guard the flank of the
retreating forces. These two groups
kept the escape corridor open.
The I'd Division took heavy ca
sualties and the Turks lost about
one fifth of their fighting force.
Their gallant stand saved the rest
OF the 9th Army from being fanked
and chewed to bits.
Transport Saved.
The hard-hit Rok I'd Corps
pulled out the 9th Division intact
and about half of the other two
divisions. They saved much Of
their transport but lost about two
thirds Of one battalion Of artillery.
But one United States officer
said: II don't believe the 9th Army
lost a single gun to the enemy
which can be used again."
The 1st Cavalary Division helped
the I'd Division and the Turks to
block the roads leading into the
right flank. The Army quickly
moved back to the Sukchon- Sun
chon line south of the Chongchon
River.
The oath Division, the Rok 1st
Division and the 25th Division
came out of the bridgehead in
good order. None of the divisions
lost their service units except in
occasional guerrilla attacks be-
hind the lines.
The. crossing of the Chongchon
was the critical period Of the
withdrawal. Here the enemy had
a chance to cut the 9th Army to
pieces. But the flank defenses
held and the river crossing was
made in good order.
At the Sukchow-Sunchon line,
the retreat plans went into effect.
And since then. the withdrawal
has been made according to the
9th Army's advance planning.
Men and Equipment Lost.
No one has tried to hide the fact
that the 9th Army suffered losses
in men and equipment in the re-
treat. The greatest losses. perhaps,
were in the trucks and jeeps and
in the communications equipment
of the combat units.
In many cases, artillerymen
fired their last rounds Of ammuni-
ton, spiked their guns, and then
left. them SO they could not be
used by the enemy.
In Pyongyang. the North Ko-
rean capital, the Army was forced
to abandon supply dumps. They
burned most Of them and then
sent the Air Force in to blast the
others from the air.
'When we had to abandon q
truck" an officer said we PIN
pointed its location for the Air
Force so that it would be destroyed
by the pilots"

TOKYO, Dec. 13.-Lt. Gen
Walton H. Walker saved hi.
United States 9th Army by a skill
full retreat which was planned ir
detail even before the Chinese
Reds began their big offensive 1e
days ago.
This 9th Army still is a potent
fighting force, Although greatly
outnumbered by the Chinese and
North Korean Red Troops, its
losses to the enemy have been re-
markably small.
When the full story is written it
may be that the 9th Arny's with
dra val will be compared to the
famed retreat of German Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel across the
desert of North Africa in World
War II.
"The enemy's pickings were slim
in this withdrawal" one staff Off
Ger said. They got little they
can use."
There was no headlong flight in
the 9th Army's retreat. After the
first four confused days of the
Chinese offensive, the withdrawal
was orderly and according to plan.
When the United Nations lend
the war" offensive was planned
9th Army strategists anticipated
the possibility of a retreat. They
were apprehensive because they
did not know the strength of the
Chinese force that was being at
tackled.
1--WE always try to plan for every
eventually" an officer said. I'VE
must look ahead to anticipate
every thing that might happen. ;"
"Under Full Control"
Two days after the Chinese be-
gan their offensive, the command
ers in the field had the retreat
plans in their hands.
The withdrawal plans in gen.
eral terms went to the command
ers OF the 1st and 9th Corps.
They, in turn. made more detailed
plans for any backward movement
OF their divisions.
There never was a time when
this withdrawal was not under
full control" one headquarters
officer said.
This is the way the retreat de-
veloped:
The Chinese Reds attacked the
9th Army on the night Of No.
yember rs. They hurled over
whelming numbers of men at the
U. N. forces. They hit hardest
on the right flank held by the
South Korean I'd Corps.
Military men estimate the
South Koreans were hit by two
Chinese armies, at least six dlyi-
sions battering at two divisions.
The Republic of Korea I'd Corps
had the 7th and 9th Divisions in
the line and the 9th Division in re-
serve.
The Reds struck toward Tok-
fchon in the ROK corps sector
while also battering at the United
States ID and 25th Divisions and
the 1st ROK Division on the left
side of the line.

HOSPITALS:
5000 Beds

The house of representatives voted
$279, 000, 900 for veterans hospitals
and a 81, 900, 900 coast guard reserve
training project.
The vote was startling in two re-
spectS: ID The house passed the
bill with a record vote; and (2)
the congressional economy drive"
which has prevailed in Washington
during the past year got a sudden
jolt which vas not unexpected.
AS passed by the house, the bill
directs the Veterans administra-
ton to proceed with construction
of 10000 additional hospital beds
for wal veterans.
With veterans of two world vars
demanding and needing increasing
hospital aid, congressman agreed
to the need, but shook their heads
at the idea of tying a knot in the
economy trend becoming more
popular as a presidential election
year nears.
It took longer, incidentally, to
pass the million dollars for the
coast guard than it did to enact the
hospital bill. That, some observers
point out, would indicate that per-
haps the congressman have not en-
tirely forgotten their economy
drive.

AIR FORCE:
Chief Retires

The first Secretary of Air under
President Truman's %unification
policy, W. Stuart Symington, has
retired. And, as he departed, he
said the Air Force fighting value
has been cut.
He declared the Air Force COM
bat effectiveness had declined in
the last six months because of a
reduction in number but its eff
cheney had increased.
There is a tendency to mix up
those two words-effectiveness and
efficiency - and some misunder-
standing has resulted" he added.
He had another view to express,
also. He was convinced that a
seventy-group Air Force was neces-
sary. One could not overlook, how
ever, the importance of economy
".since the nation can be defeated
by economic disaster as well as
military disaster,
For that reason he had support
ed President Humans forty-eight
group program.
He had one parting observation
on economy: He did not g how q
balanced budget could be achieved
with world conditions in the state
they were now.

DECORATIONS:
War or Peace

From action of the United States
senate some wondered if this coun-
try was at var or peace as that
high body decorated 10 airmen
who lost their lives in the Baltic,
presumably shot down by Russian
fighters.
To spectators who gazed down
Upon the senate floor it was OBJ
vious the senators were in no mood
to daily, but filled with a fury that
had not been experienced since a
declaration of war against Japan.
with such denunciations as
criminal" and ''barbarous" and
demands that steps be taken to
prevent another such occurrence,
the senators voted praise and dec
orations for the airmen.
Numerous foreign affairs ex-
perts took special note of the state
departments protest to Russia,
which said in part:
The cause OF peace is not
furthered when the U.S.S.R. osten-
tatiously decorates Soviet airmen
in a manner calculated to give the
impression that they are being re-
warded for shooting down a de-
~fenseless American plane"
All agreed that the prospects Of
a shooting war were not immedi-
ate.

BOMBS AWAY:
Russia Watches

The United States air force dis
play of air power, p~unctuated with
the explosion Of heavy demolition
bombs, jet planes, rockets and
flaming oil bombs, was a big sue
cess for the $500 spectators, in
GLIDING prominent business and
civic leaders and Harry S. Tru-
man.
It was being watched in other
quarters, too, and the administra-
ton made no secret of it's hope
that those quarters would be duly
impressed. In fact, the govern
ment hoped the explosions at Fort
Benning, Ca, would be heard
across the Atlantic at the moment
when Russian and American rela-
tons were at their lowest point.
U. S. State Secretary Dean Ache
son, who recently has ceased pull
ing his punches, along with other
high government officials, hoped
the display would warn the Soviet
Union that the United States was
prepared.
To demonstrate his hope, he
said a few days later: 90. the
country must be strong, with de-
lenses organized wisely and pru-
IDENTIFY, and with all possible re-
sources, for protecting the area in
which this freedom abounds."
Of the bursting bombs and
mighty guns Mr.. Truman said
nothing when asked what i'm
pressed him most.

EDITORS:
Truth Campaign

Editors Of the nation-little and
big-have been asked to join the
greatest campaign in the world
today-"campaign of truth"
President Truman, speaking be-
fore the American Society of News
paper Editors, said we must make
ourselves known as we really are
not as Communist propaganda
pictures us. We must pool u eff
forts with those of the other free
peoples in a sustained, intensified
program to promote the cause of
freedom against the propaganda
Of slavery"
Then the President told the edi-
tors something they already knew,
but no doubt liked to hear:
There is too much nonsense
about striped trousers in foreign
affairs. Far more influence is ex-
erted by the baggy pants of the
managing editor"
The editors, in general, were in
clined to agree. Although the in
dividual policy of their newspapers
might or might not be pro-adminis-
tration, it was high time the United
States counteracted Communist
propaganda with truth.
In a nutshell the President
argued Soviet propaganda con-
stantly reviles the United States.
The big problem is to tell the peo-
Piles of the world exactly what
Americans are like.
At home the editors are the all
important bridge between the
American people and world affairs
by informing them well and COM
pletely," the President added.

Undoubtedly the most unpopular

For all their yelping, and, al
though President Truman has called
for a years extension, there is a
general feeling that this time the
congress will let the law lapse.

NATIONALIST:
Half Remains

Any hope the western world may
have had that the march Of COM
munism in the Far East had been
checked vanished as Chang Kali
shek ordered the evacuation OF
Hainan island. Thus, one half OF
Nationalist China became Commu-
mist territory, and the West listened
for the first rumors of the invasion
of Formosa.
1t was an embarrassing defeat
for the Nationalist, who, having
previously boosted of victories ov-
er the invaders, found it necessary
to report in the next breath COM
plete defeat.
Observers said the Nationalist
simply counted their chickens
before they Matched, and, that the
Hainan command deliberately put
out false news to prevent panic
and enable prominent leaders to
flee the island.
Whatever the cause, General
Chang found himself minus five
armies, totaling some 125, 900 men,
1880 square miles Of territory,
and rich deposits of iron ore, coal
and petroleum.
MOST surprising angle in the
Nationalist's defeat, in the eyes Of
western military men, was the
comparatively small number Of
Communist invaders, estimated at
10000 to 5000 men. Chiang's
armies outnumbered them almost
10 to /.
Speculation was Immediately
rampant on possible exaggerated
Formosa defenses. Further, in
some quarters, the fall Of Hainan
was called the beginning of the end
of Nationalist China.
