against Chinese resistance that
stiffened with the dawn of their
lunar New Year.
United Nations air, naval and
artillery barrages paved a fiery
path for the attacks. Allied foot
soldiers slogging behind the tanks
wiped out nests of Reds.
The Chinese threw tanks into
the battle for the first time ajn
this phase of the Korean war.
They rushed reinforcements south
from Seoul over a plank bridge
spanning the Han River. There
were indications that this was the
big effort to salute the outset of

On the Western front a day long
battle ragged northwest and north
east Of Anyang, a town 8 miles
south Of Seoul.
On the Central front, American
troops blasted hole through a
Red battalion on the Hoengsong-
Hongchon road. Then South Ko-
rean regulars rolled through the
gap to point only Is miles from
the old Parallel SO border.
This was the northernmost
thrust Of Allied forces since they
regained the offensive in Korea 13
days ago.
The Americans locked in battle
with an estimated 1000 Reds at
midafternoon today on the north

South Koreans farther West,
possibly on the Sea of Japan

location of the drive was not given.
But the stiffest fighting ragged
on the Western front, north of
Anyang almost to the outskirts of
Seoul.
An intelligence officer estimated
that the two Allied columns strik-

INTENSIVE STUDY
 KING SALMON RuM
 STARTED ON TAKU

An extensive and intensive king salmon tagging project will be car ried on by the Alaska Department of Fisheries in the Taku Inlet and River this summer, c. L. Anderson director of ADF said today.
 The object is to work out ratio between tagged and untagged fish to get a close estimate on what part of the entire run is being caught and what percentage of es- exponent occurs in that area, An derson said.
 When all the information is in, we will he able to make recom- mendations to the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding regulations that will give a maximum catch for the fishermen and the necessary es- exponent to perpetuate the run. We may laara something about the various races of king salmon and will be able to know what time they go through the fishery and where they go," he stated.
 The trollers and gillnetters are cooperating and aiding this pro- ject in every way possible and their assistance is most valuable and im- portant, Andersen stressed.
 Operation Plan
 Carl Weidman, ST. in his troller has been tagging as many kings as possible at the en- trance of Taku Inlet since April Is. Elmer Lindstrom left today on his boat to also do tagging there until June 10, when it is assumed that most of the king salmon will have passed that point.
 On Saturday biologist Bob Par ker and M. L. MacSpadden will leave for the gillnet fishery in Ta- ku Inlet where with two gillnetters they will tag kings and watch for the recovery of the troller- tagged fish. This will be carried on until the end of June.
 At the same time biologist Walt Kirkness will set up a camp on the Taku River, 10 miles upstream where, with Louie DeFlorian, they will also carry on tagging opera tions and check on troller and gill; net tagged fish. They will work set nets.
 Further Checking
 After July 4, two field parties will go into the various headwaters Of the river to recover tags and determine the extent of the king salmon spawning grounds.
 In this manner a comprehensive picture of the king salmon run and races can be obtained.
