BY OteH Clements
TOKYO, MAY 25-lR,- Allied
troops drove four miles inside
north Korea today in what the
United Nations ground command
er called 'an about offensive"
eThe 18th parallel means moth
ing to me-" said 1t. Gen. James
A. Van Fleet, commander of the
u. S. 9Th Army.
He showed he meant it by cross
ing into Red Korea himself.
Van Fleet visited tank and in
fantry task force. 1t was sitting
solidy as huge road block north
of the border astride the Reds
escape route from the east-cen-
trai front. He said his army's
tactics of pursuing the Reds into
their own territory was a gamble
but is paying off.
"The Eighth Army is in an
all-out offensive" Van Fleet said.
Considerable progress" has been
made
Field dispatches told of open
flight of Chinese toward the 3Sth
parallel from some fronts, while
they fought stubbornly on others.
The pursuing Eighth Army, Van
Fleet said, will mot be limited by
such barriers as the 38th parallel
in chasing them down"
On a tour of the front Van
Fleet pinned distinguished SER
vice crosses on 1t. Gen. Edward
M. Almond, 10th. Corps command
er, and Maj. Gen. Clark L. Ruf-
finer. Second Division commander,
for their part in smashing the
Reds second spring offensive
"It looks like the pursuit tactics
are working we'll" Van Fleet
said. There will be no technical
limit ON running down the Reds.
He puts il this way:
THE 38th parallel has no sig
nificance in the present tactical
situation. 1t means nothing to me.
The Eighth Army will go where
ever the situation dictates IN not
pursuit of the enemy,
I'VE intend to exploit every
advantage in carrying out our
objective to find and kill the en-
emy."
The whole United Nations line
was moving forward at the be-
ginning of the 18th month OF the
Korean war. Solid gains of two to
six miles were punched out
Thursday.
The Reds back up fast. But
they left rear guards who fought
bitterly to slow the Allied ad-
vance. Communist artillery forced
one Allied tank patrol to return
to the main body of troops.
The Chinese retreat route ir
the east was blocked by a huge
u. N. armored force astride the
main highway, nearly four miles
north of 80.
Infantry and artillery with the
task force seized the Choyans
River crossing near Inje and dut
in on both sides after a dramatic
Il mile drive.
The bridgehead was reported
firmly established at 8 AN. Fri
day Allied tanks patrolled IN
Hongchon-Inje highway and bat
tied with Reds IN the hills. ss

unions journal Trud charged yes
terday that Yugoslavias Marshal
Tito had received instructions
from Eisenhower to start an ag-
gressive war in the Balkans"
Trud, whose report was distrib-
uted here by the Russian-c con-
trolled agency Adm. said Tito is
planning an aggression upon his
Balkan neighbors just like South
Korea did against North Korea"
This blast at the Balkan Com
munist renegade came just a week
after V. M. Molotov declared in a
speech in Warsaw that the Tito
regime would not last long.
Tito answered defiantly that
the YugoSlav leaders are not
afraid of Russian threats or of
Molotov's pledge ito destroy us
quickly" He said the defeat of
Yugoslavia would be defeat for
Europe" and added that is why
the Western powers have been
aiding his country.
That declaration especially
aroused the ire of Trud.

before the entire world about its
criminal conspiracy in ties with
the Anglo American imperialists
and prepares with them for ag-
gresSive war in the Balkans" said
