pressed U. N fighters who were
standing fast south of Wonju.
Reds Building Force.
To the north a huge Red force
was building up fast, adding tc
the critical situation on the cen
tral front. Chinese were moving
into this concentration from the
Western front south of Seoul.
The Importance of the raging
battle was this: Wonju is a rail
and road hub that controls the
avenues of advance or retreat
through the Sobaek Range.
"It was clear today that what
may be called the battle of Sobaek
IS increasing in scope" said an
9Th Army communicate.
The issue is whether the enemy
can force the passes of the noun
tain range"
The Sobaek slants across the
peninsula from northeast to south
west-a great natural barrier in
front of the old Pusan perimeter.
Little Activity Elsewhere.
Except for the bitter mountain
battle there was little activity
along the U. N. defense line. Al
lied patrol action was intensive,
however. The Communist buildup
in the west went on apace.
Only once did the Communist
pressure ease south of Wonju
That was when Allied aircraft
swooped in for another day OF
mighty blows. Then the Reds
added more troops to the attack.
Eighth Army reported at least
1,100 Reds were killed by air,
artillery and small arms fire
yesterday. That brought the to-
tai of enemyfdead in three days
around Wonju to $500.
Far East Air Forces headquarters
reported Red conveys north of
Seoul were attacked by fighters
and bombers yesterday. Some 400
vehicles of an estimated 700
sighted were rocketed and strafed
between Seoul, Kaesong, Sari-
won and Sinanju.
B-29 Superfortresses struck
other targets. Transport planes
dropped 243 tons of supplies to

Air Force Imposes
Own Censorship on
Korean War News
BY the Associated Press

UNITED STATES, 9th ARMY
HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Jan. 13
The United States 5th Air Force
yesterday added it's own censor
ship of war news from Korea to
that already applied by the 9Th
Army.
An Air Force briefing officer told
correspondents their news stories
will be checked by Air Force cen
sors to avoid release of informa-
ton that might be of aid to the
enemy.
The officer shid there have been
violations of security in the past
in the handling of Air Force re-
ports, but he added that he
believed none was deliberate"
The officer said his instructions
came from higher up"
OnQer Ine new pollcy all news
stories will have to be read by
an 8th Army censor and then by
an Air Force censor.
The new regulation adds to the
complications of covering the war
Stories are written in the
correspondents billet, then must
be taken 2 miles to 9th Army
headquarters for censoring. The
copy then is returned to the billet
for telephoning to Tokyo
The censorship operation re-
quires more than an hour.
Only two telephones are avail
able to correspondents to get their
dispatches to Tokyo.
These telephones also must be
used by correspondent calling in
from the field with stories for
relay to Tokyo. The stories from
the field also must be censored
before being relayed to Tokyo.

Milder Attitude Urged

BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 13.-France urged
the United States and Britain
today to take a more conciliatory
attitude in the Western Big
Three's next note to Russia on
a Big Four meeting, it was learned
today.
French officials believe a draft
reply already prepared is too un-
friendly. French ministers, both
privately and in public, have re-
Gently expressed their belief that
/ a big power meeting should be
held at all cost.
The suggestions for a more
conciliatory wording of the Big
Three note went from the Foreign
Ministry to Ambassador Jean
Chauvel in Washington today.
Meeting on Text.
Mr.. Chauvel. Frances envoy to
the United Nations. has been
meeting with United States and
British diplomats there to frame
the text OF the next western
note.
The Big Three note will answer
RuSsia's New Years eve message
to Paris, Washington and London
regarding Big -Four meeting
The note will be the fourth chap
ter in the exchange that began
with Russia's November 8 invi-
tation to the Western powers to
talk about the future of Germany
World-Wide Agenda Sought.
The Western powers agreed to
the meeting, but only on condi-
ton that Russia agree to a world
wide agenda taking in the Far
East. The State Department wants
the new note to Russia to demand
a clarification of whether Russia
| is willing to talk about all the
worlds problems, instead of merely
Germany.
The French attitude, it was be-
lieved. is that a discussion of
European affairs should be held,
even if the Russians refuse to talk
about China, Korea and the rest
| of Asia, or set impossible condi-
tions for the Far Eastern talks.
One of the conditions Russia
might set is that Communist China
be present.
The Foreign Office said officially
today there is no essential dis
agreement" here on the draft text
of the Big Three note.
