TOKYO, May Is. - Chinese
Communist troops were reported
tonight to be crossing two rivers

front around Chunchon in front
of strong American positions.
An American officer, however.

The dispatch said unknown
numbers of Chinese Reds crossed
the Pukhan River, southwest of
IChunchon and reached high
ground just south of the river.
Other Communists have crossed
the Choyang, northeast of Chun-
ichon, and moved to the southeast
of that ruined city, where clashes
with American troops were re-
ported.
The American officer said he
did not expect a Chinese offensive
to start tonight. but predicted
probing attacks at various points
in the Chunchon area. Chunchon
is As miles northeast of Seoul
But spearheads of this gather
ling Red force were as much as
IL miles south of Parallel 38, the
old political boundary between
North and South Korea.
United Nations patrols spotted
Communists in units of 500 or 900
|slogging through the hills east of
IKapyong. The United States 9th
Army did not indicate how close
they were to U. N. lines.
But no fighting was reported
from this area. Clashes elsewhere
on the rainswept battle line were
between groups of 100 or 200.
South of Pukhan River.
The 9Th Army said the Reds
East of Kapyong were south OF the
Pukhan River. This would put
them roughly Is miles north
west OF Hongchon, U. N. base on
the central front.
An Allied officer said well pro-
Itected U. N. positions and restless
patrols probably would insure
about "a hours warning before the
Chinese hit in strength.
A central front briefing officer
said the weather probably would
speed up the expected Red offen-
sive about two days. The strike
generally is expected next week.
This is their meat" one officer
commented. 'The Chinese can do
a lot of moving under these clouds
without being seen from the air
They are undoubtedly taking ad-
vantage of it."
B-29s Bomb SariwOn.
B-29S were out today despite
heavy weather. They bombed the
Sariwon supply center, above the

fore the Senate committee inves-
tigating Far East policy and the
custer of Gen. Macarthur, Gen.
Bradley said:
Under present circumstances,
we have recommended against en-
larging the war. The course of
action often described as lin
tied war with Red China would
increase the risk we are taking
by engaging too much of our power
In an area that is not the critical

any policy which would rush the
United States ''headlong into a

Gen. Bradley argued that expand
ing the Korean fighting into China
would only mean jumping from
a smaller conflict to larger dead
lock at greater expense"
The 58-year veteran of
World War II in Europe, who is
also a five-star general, hit back
strongly at the charge of Gen.
Macarthur and others that the
administrations present course in
Korea is one of appeasement.

Gen. Bradley appeared to have
lost no time in answering Gen.

gress that the Macarthur pro-
posals for stepping up pressure
against Red China were shared

the Joint Chiefs.
Gen. Bradley said the Joint
Chiefs recognize the military ad-
vantageS" that might accrue to the
U. N. position in Korea by expand
ing the fighting area. He pointed
out. however. that, while a field
commander properly estimates his
needs from the viewpoint of his
own theater. those responsible for
higher direction must base their
actions on the global situation.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs emphasized that every ef-
fort should be made to settle the
present conflict without extend
ing it outside of Korea.
"If this proves to be impossi-
ble," he continued, then other
measures must be taken"
Questioning Is Limited.
He gave no immediate indica-
tion of what other steps he re-
ferred to.

Water Crisis
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D committee of the council, and backed by the council as a whole, are fighting for even a temporary line which will ease the water crisis.
 Under a plan approved by MT. Westbrook, temporary construc- ton could supply a pure water supply, partly by pipeline, partly by open Hume.
 Water, critically needed on non Coop owner properties, may be even scarcer if the hot, dry wea- ther continues. Coop properties have plenty. Carl Rasmussen, acting general manager, holds to his stand that the Coop must handle it's own needs first and in it's contract to other water users agreed to furnish only sur plus water-and there's little or no surplus.
 Insurance
 Another matter to come before the city council tonight is the clee1ing of papers with copy of the court order certifying Palmer as an incorporated city, and a map of the city, which will qual- fly Palmer to a class seven fire insurance rating. Normally-if cleared by the insurance compa- nies-this will place North Pal mer in the same rating as the section.
