Reds Suffer
 10000 Casualties In 7-Day Offensive
(By the Associated Press)


 Communist troops poured down from the north today in an at tempt to capture Seoul as a May Day prize. United Nations troops, committed to defense. of the war battered South Korean capital, laid down, terrific artillery bar rage in the path of the Red tide. Censorship cloaked the exact distance of the Reds from the city. The latest Communist broad cast said the Red troops were only seven and a half miles from Seoul. Heavily censored front dispatches indicated they were much closer. Probing attacks marked the first phase of the battle for. the city. It. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, the Allied ground commander, put his defending troops north of Seoul. He does not plan house-to- house street fighting or to sacri- flee his men unnecessarily in the city's defense. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur and It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway had made no attempt to hold the city before, but Van Fleet said Seoul has prestige as the South Korean capital.
 A shock force of 10000 Com munist troops were reported gath ering for the initial assault. AL lied airmen said they spotted 3,365 Red vehicles moving along the western front.
 If the Allies withdraw from in front of the city they will take up line on the Han river on the south. Maj. Gen. William M. Hoge of the Ninth Corps said the question of whether the Allies can hold there depends on what is thrown at us."
 The Reds have suffered 10000 casualties in their seven-day of- fensive but they have plenty left.

 eff the Soviet Union chooses to unleash a general war, the free world must be in a position to stop the attack and strike back de- cisively and at once at the seats of Soviet power"
 Sketching broadly the planned use of the money, MT. Truman said: "
 'fFor the army, these funds will equip and maintain 18 divisions plus separate combat and support ing units. The navy, under these recommendations, will maintain an active fleet of 1,161 ships. The Air Force wil continue to build toward 95 war wings"
 MT. Truman said the military and other security programs will take about 20 per cent of the nations total output by the end of the next fiscal year Uune 30, 1952). By comparison, he said, 45 per cent of total output was going to security purposes at the peak of the last world war.

Secretary Acheson
 Claims Success For His Stand In Korea

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of State Acheson today claimed success for the stand this country has taken in Korea and said the best chance of real victory lies in firmly holding to that line.
 He explained to the United States Chamber of Commerce that it may be possible there to con- vince the enemy that "his aggres- sion, cannot pay." His claims of success were in that field.
 The fighting in the Far East ''May spread despite our efforts to limit it," Acheson said, but added: ....
 eff this happens the responsibil- ity for it will rest squarely on the Kremlin and its agents in Peiping."
 His audience had up for con- sideration a resolution endorsing direct negotiations with Russia for world peace. The proposed policy statement, one of dozens to be voted on at the Chambers 39th annual meeting, called for a So- viet American effort to reach s.truly elective solutions not mere paper agreements.

Greatest Explosion To Be Set Off Within 10 Days

WASHINGTON, (PD - U. S. atomic weaponeers probably will set off the worlds greatest ex- ploSion within the next ten days.
 The nuclear fission blast will be the grand finale to a new series of tests at the EniWetok proving grounds in the Marshall Islands.
 Completion of the series will make 1851 the boom year for atomic explosions. At least half a dozen atomic explosions will have been touched off by the United States before the year is half over. There may be still more.
 Other tests in the offing may be at places not hitherto used, AEC chairman Gordon Dean has hinted. An experiment with the bomb under sub-Arctic conditions and perhaps with the weapon buried beneath the ground may be tried in the Aleutian Islands before the year is over.
