U.S.FOR(ES
MAKE HITS,
RED AREAS

TOKYO, Feb. II --Rl- American
infantrymen counter-attacked van
guards of three Red Korean dlvl-
sions today in the hills north OF
Chechon where the enemy had
dented Allied lines 10 miles.
The American troops supported
by rolling artillery barrages gained
as much as two miles in some sec
tors.
The battle still was raging across
ridges and valleys at 5 pm. mid
night, PS1O.
One Red force drove within three
miles of the Chechon road hub but
South Koreans rolled the enemy
back from there.
AU. S. 10th Corps officer said
the Red Korean push on Chechon
had not formed into definite pat
tern. But the Reds had failed in
the opening phases to turn the Al
lied east flank.
Accurate artillery fire and coun-
terattacks blunted the force of the
enemy punch, shifted eastward
from bloodily repulsed onslaughts
at Chipyong and Womb.
The smash at the east flank near
the transport hub Of Chechon, a
mountain gateway to South Korea,
was the only serious enemy effort.
The Reds massed 5000 or more
men in the area but late field
report said only spearheads had
been committed.
Eastward on the coast, South Kor-
can troops made deep pullback
from the 18th Parallel to new
defense line but under no enemy
pressure.
Around Womb and Chipyong,
where Chinese Reds suffered 22,12e
casualties in four days hut failed
to break through, Allied patrols
ranged one TO more than two miles
north without finding Reds.
The chewed-up Chinese 41st
corps had pulled back the remnants
of four divisions for regrouping. But
there were signs that upwards OF
10000 Chinese Reds still might try
to smash the Allied center and i'm
peril 100000 United Nations troops
around Seoul.
The fighting before Chechon was
not as rough as that before Womb
and Chipyong earlier this week.
Frontline Allied officers claimed
victory against the attacking Reds
in Central Korea They pointed to
the. disappearance of Chinese Com
munists before Chipyong and Won
ju as evidence the enemy had been
hurt badly.

SPECULATE
ON Views
OF Stain
State Department Officials.
Others Probe for Mean
ing of Propaganda
By JOHN M. HIGuTowER

WASHINGTON, Feb. II III
State Department officials explored
Prime Minister Stains new pro-
nouncement on world problems to-
day for possible clues to changes
in Soviet Foreign Policy. Most be-
lieved they searched in vain.
The attitude of the administra-
TONS experts in Soviet behavior APP
peared to parallel that Of several
senators who assessed the statement
as propaganda.
Considerable interest was aroused,
however, by the fact that Stain
himself has now taken UP anu given
final public sanction to a line voic-
ed for the past year by lesser Soviet
figures. That the UN has become
an instrument Of Anglo American
control dominated by what the Rus
sian Premier called the aggressive
core of western hemisphere and
Atlantic treaty nations.
There was some speculation that
the emphatic manner in which Sta
lin pressed this contention may in
dictate the Kremlin is completing a
propaganda basis for pulling out
Of the UN.
One line of speculation on this
possibility is that the Russians, hav-
ing branded the UN as no longer
an organization for world peace
would denounce it, walk out and
present their own already establish
ed peace congress" as the only
truly representative international
league
The initial reaction of responsible
officials here was that While Stain
speaks with a powerful voice, he
said nothing essentially new re-
garding Russia's known position not
only on the UN but on Communist
China, the Korean conflict. the is
sue of blame for present world ten
sion and the question of the newt
ability of war
Regarding this last question, there
is agreement here with the Rus
sian chiefs assertion that world
conflict is not yet inevitable. That,
however. is as far as the agreement
goes where Stain proposed in eff
feet that the breaking point might
be avoided by the free nations fall
ing into step with Communist pol
icy. Western leaders are expressly
! convinced the only hope for peace
lies in offsetting Communist mill
| tary power with western strength
and in opposing Red expansion AT
/ all points.

Thirty-nine members Of the Ter

marched into the House Chambers
at 3 pm. yesterday, ordered out
the clerical help, the reporters

made a date for another mem

The 4oth legislator, who stayed
outside, was Senator Gerrit "Heinie

He had protested that the people
had right to attend the hearing
and when this was Genied them ne
established a one-man boycott Of

IF what goes on in there isn't
good enough for the people of this

~ ASHINGTON.-Some Senators
seem to believe that it is criminal
matter for newspaper to criticize
military mistakes. This is view
shared by many brass hats-though
not all.
However, mistakes are sometimes
rectified chiefly through knowing
about them, and case in point
is the magnificent manner in which
Gen. Matthew Ridgway has profited
from the mistakes of General Mac
Arthur in turning a tragic defeat
into Korean victory.
While the very loyal Macarthur
clique may argue that he is still
supreme commander in Tokyo, and
therefore deserves credit for the
current victory. the indisputable
facts are that General Ridgway
was sent to Korea direct from
Washington where he had been
deputy chief of staff and as such
was in close contact with the Pen
tagon's views Of warfare. 1t also
is an indisputable fact that Ridg-
way won his victory with no new
fresh troops and facing a some
what stronger enemy than Mac
Arthur.
According to military observers
who read the battle dispatches, here

DEFEAT is
PREDICTED
Prime Minister Says u. S.
Has Turned u. N. Info
Aggression Tool

MOSCOW, Feb. l7-iR- Prime
Minister Stain said last night that
war is not inevitable--"at least for
the present'-but charged the
United States with turning the UN
into tool of aggression.
In his first major foreign policy
statement in two years the 71-year-
old Soviet leader predicted the Kor-
can war would end in defeat. Of
American forces, unless Washington
and London accept peace terms laid
down by Communist China.
He denouced the United Nations
resolution labelling Communist
China an aggressor as "disgraceful''
and predicted the UN's downfall.
Charges
He declared:
"The United Nations organization
is therefore taking the inglorious
road of the League of Nations. IN
this way it is burying its moral
prestige and booming itself to dis
Indignation"
Stain charged that the UN was
not proportionally representative q
world populations and had become
mot as much a world organization
as an organization for the Ameri-
cans, an organization acting ON be-
half of the requirements of the
American aggressors."
He said American .GIs fought
brilliantly and effectively in defeat
ing Germany and Japan. but that
they were losing ON Korean battle
fields because they had no faith IN
their cause.
Interview
Stain used the Communist news
paper Pravda as the vehicle for his
announcements adopting the ia
miliar pattern of questions ana
answers in newspaper interview.
The broadside from the Kremlin
was in direct reply to a recent House
of Commons statement by British
Prime Minister Attlee to the effect
that after the end of World War II
the Soviet Union did not disarm.
Stain castigated the statement as
"a SANDER against the Soviet IN
ion"
Stain charged that the Socialist
government of Britain was not IN
favor of peace but of unleashing 8
new aggressive World War" IN con-
cert with the United States.
