RETREATING REDS UNDER
 BATTERING
Allied Tanks, Troops Slash Across 38th Parallel
 After Commies
By Associated Press


 Allied tanks and troops today slashed across the 38th Parallel at two more points in their of ficially-designed all-out offensive to hunt down the battered and re- treating Communists.
 The new crossings kept up the pressure on the Reds. who already were battling an Allied spearhead now thrust four miles into north Korea on the East-Central front.
 Field dispatches said the new crossings were made on the Western front north of Seoul and on the Central front northeast of Chun- chon. Both these tank infantry teams withdrew to South Korea by nightfall.
 Parellel Means Nothing
 The 38th Parallel means nothing to me-" said It. 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 a tank and infantry task force. It was sitting solidly as a huge road block north of the border astride the Reds es- cape route from the East-C Central front. He said his Army's tactics of pursuing the Reds into their own Territory was a gamble but is paying off.
 All-Out Offensive
 The 8th Army is in an all-ou offensive,p Van Fleet said. Con- siderable progress" has been made.
 The task force seized the Cho- yang river crossing near Inje and dug in on both sides after a dra- matic 13-mile drive. The bridge head was firmly established. Allied tanks patrolled the Hongchon-Inje highway and battled with Reds in the hills.
 Action Is Paying off
 The fast action of the Allied forces, soon after they had halted the much vauntcd second spring of fensive of the Reds dead in it's tracks. was paying off. The rapid advance of the mobile task force split the Chinese armies and sent them scuttling to the hills and mountain trails. There, planes and plodding troops hunted them down.
 AP Correspondent Nate Polowetz- ky said the general LIN advance met only scattered resistance in the West and Vest Central sectors. The enemy put up stiffer fight in the Center. There Chinese rear guards fought bitterly to slow the Allied advance. Communist artillery forced one Allied tank patrol to return tQ the main body of troops.

RUSS PILOTS IN AIRCRAFT
 OVER KOREA
Statement Made 10 Senate Investigators by
 Gen. Collins

WASHINGTON. May 25 - R - Gen. J. Lawton Collins Said today i've are quite convinced" that Rus sians are flying some of the Com munist planes in Korea.
 Collins, Army Chief of Staff, also said that equipment captured from the Chinese Reds is mostly Rus sian"
 Collins was testifying at the Sem ate inquiry into foreign policy and the dismissal of Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur.
 He told the senators T did con- cur" in the decision to relieve Mac Arthur of the Far Eastern com mands.
 And, he said he felt that MacAr- thurs proposed Korean strategy would not be worth the increased risk of getting us now into a major war" This was the same argument made by Secretary of Defense Mar shall and Gen. Omar Bradley, chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were earlier witnesses in the hearings.
 Russ Air Holds off
 Tn a general discussion of the situation as to air war. Collins said "The Russian Air has never come down below this river up here in any. strength"
 He was using a map and the river was not immediately identi- fled in the stenographic transcript. Presumably it was the Yalu, the river forming the boundary between Korea and Manchuria.
 Then Collins said his use of the word Russian" was slip of the tongue because they have not been in at all" f ff&
 He added:
 But the Chinese Air, some of which we are quite convinced is flown by Russians IS what l am talking about"
 Counter Offensive
 Briefing the senators generally on the Korean situation as of this time, Collins said the Allies have moved to the counter offensive and the Red Chinese "are in pretty com plete retreat along the front
 He also said the Red Chinese suffered tremendous casualties in the opening of their spring of- fensive.
 Gen. Bradley who preceded Collins to the witness chair had told the senators that the U. s. military high command hoped negotiated peace might be possible in Korea if the Communist spring offensive was bumped off,
