Korean Situation

(Continued from Page One) February against Wonju, deep in central Korea.
 On the western front, south Korean and American task forces ranging up the historic invasion route of Korea bumped into bitter Communist resistance north of Seoul.
 An American tank patrol on the road to Uijongbu ran into a heavy mine field.
 "The small arms and mortar fire were so intense that 1t was impossible for the men to leave the tanks and remove the mines" !" an operations officer said.
 At Chunchon, thousands of sol diers moved up behind the spear heading tanks. AP correspondent William C Barnard said they found the city bonb-gutted ruins. %@sz.
 On the east coast, south Korean troops were within 812 miles of the border. Other LIN. units across the peninsula were only few miles farther south of the border.
 Fresh Chinese troops were re- ported dagging in on the western front north of Seoul. This may in- dicate the Reds are trying to slow the advance on the, center by pos ing a serious threat on the U.N.'s western flank.
