Constantine Brown:
Korea Strategy Again Boys Down
Newest Counter Offensive by u NJ Troops Short-LNed;
Strength Of Chinese Forces Not Affected Seriously

The strategy of killing
Chinese" dictated by the civil
ian authorities to the military
chiefs in Washington and the
fighting men in Korea seems to
have begged down once more.
Our counter-offensive neces-
sarily was Short-lived.
When Gen. Macarthur de-
veloped his spectacular and
highly successful offensive at
Inchon last summer, the enemy
had few strongly prepared posi-
tions in the rear from which
to resist The North Korean
forces actually disintegrated.
While figures about their casu-
alties necessarily are uncertain,
we did capture upward of 120.-
600 prisoners.
The second major Red often
sive against our lines in April
was defeated with apparently
heavy losses to the enemy. We
took only some $500 prisoners.
This figure itself, considering
the large enemy forces, indi-
Gated that the rout was no.
where near complete.
The Reds have prepared
strong defensive positions in
depth within less than 20 miles
of the 38th Parallel and now
are resisting our drive success
fully. The curtain of forces
they have thrown into that line
will permit them to re-group
and bring fresh reserves and
war material from their sanctu-
ary across the Yalu River.
Military experts believe that
the losses suffered by the Chinese
Communists since they entered
the war last November have not
affected seriously their trained
military strength. This belief
is based on the fact that most of
the enemy forces, as far as we
can ascertain. still have soldiers
in the 20-to-30 age bracket.
We have neither captured nor
buried teenagers or elderly men.
This is a clear indication that
the reservoir of competent fight
ing men has not yet been de-
pleted to any degree. Nor is their
morale that of a beaten army.
According to reports from the
battlefield the fanaticism of the
Reds is still unaffected by the
heavy punishment inflicted on
them and the prisoners are said
to be arrogant and defiant.
