TN Patrols
Feel Out
Red Strength
This May BE
Prelude To
Further UN
Advances

TOKYO, June l5,-tP1.-Allied
activity in Korea today has been
carried on mainly by patrols test
ing the Communist strength BE-
yond the iron triangle.
These probings may indicate
that the allies intend to continue
their pcnetrations into North
Korea BIT, so far Eighth Army
headquarters is silent on its fut-
,1re intentions.
Here's what the allied patrols
ran into:
On the western side of the tri-
angle, around Chowon and to the
north, the G-Ps advanced somt
three to six miles without oppo-
slton.
But to the east of the triangle

Reds hit back fierccly.
The Communists in this area
apparently are trying TO defend
the city of Kumsong, the new
base for Red forces in the east.
Air Secretary Thomas Finletter
says he believes allied planes in
the Far East can take care OF any
thing the Chinese Air Force
throws at them.
But he's not 50 sure what would
happen if the Russian air force
came into the Korean war.
Finletter spoke in Tokyo today
shortly after two Chinese planes
made their deepest penetration
so far in the Korean war. The
enemy planes bombed targets near
Seoul Allied air forces hit back
promptly-hitting airfields in
Western Korea.
The air secretary is flying back
to Washington today after a five
day inspection tour Of the far
eastern air forces.
