troops moved the Western anchor
of the Korea fighting line further
northwest of Seoul.
A tank-infantry column rumbled
through Chunchon on the east
central front Monday, and a mile
beyond, without meeting opposi-
tion.
Other armored groups famed
out all along the center. They
found no Reds.
Reds Snipe at Tanks.
Communists Sniped on tank ex-
peditions in the West today. A
United States 9th Army COM
Imunique said Reds repeatedly
fired rockets at tanks east Of
Uijongbu.
American jets left their rockets
behind for a mass bomb attack
on Red troop, supply and trans
port centers north of the Com
munist capital of Pyongyang.
Thirty-five shooting stars made
bomb raids in three waves on rail-
way yards in the Sunchon area.
The Pyongyang radio claimed
six United States planes were
shot down and five airmen cap
tured. The Allied command does
not comment on Red propaganda
claims. The Red broadcast also
listed these asserted wartime
U. N. losses: $1,000 troops cap
ltured. $4,000 casualties, 1900
planes destroyed or damaged.
Red ground forces made their
strongest bid. northwest of Seoul.
South Korean troops made a
limited advance against North
Koreans who had been told there
would be no big offensive because
"the war is about over" U. N.
intelligence officers attributed this
statement to Communist officer.
Stalemate Mentioned.
They did not make clear wheth-
er the officer had been taken
prisoner. or whether the report
came from other captured Reds.
U. N. spokesmen offered no in
depreciation Of the significance of
the statement. Presumably the
Red officer meant the war had
again reached a stalemate; that
neither side could win and there
fore neither would open an all
out offensive.
Intelligence reports said the
same officer reported Allied war;
planes blocked Red efforts to get
tanks from Manchuria to support
the now halted Communist spring
offensive.
Red transport kept rolling
south despite the constant air
punishment. More than 3,700
trucks were spotted yesterday.
Far Eastern Air Forces called it
an "all out Communist effort to
resupply and re-equip their divi-
SlonS along the battle line"
Tank Patrols Active.
| U. N. tank patrols probed
Through no-man's land trying to
find the elusive Red divisions.
The equally elusive Communist
air force tried out night-fighting
jets, presumed to be a new type.
Three of them made unsuccessful
passes at lone U. N. B-26 before
dawn yesterday.
Similar attacks were made this
morning. But air officers weren't
certain it was the same type of
lplane. Far Eastern Air Forces
spokesmen made no attempt to
describe the new jet until more is
learned about it.
On the ground the Reds of
fered only spotty opposition to
Allies Slogging back over the same
ground the Communists had
taken in their costly nine-day Of
fenSive that began April %.
Extent of the ground fighting
was indicated by the 9th Army's
estimate of $40 Red casualties yes
lterday. This doesn't approach the
daily toll of the Red offensive. The
nine-day toll was estimated by
the U. N. command at $4,000.

BILL TO REVISE
 ALASKA BANKING
 LAWS PREPARED

The Alaska Bankers Association legislative committee Chairman has presented the legislature with a completely revised banking law. Marshall Crutcher of Kodiak sub- mitted the proposed new statute to the legislators this week on the basis of recommendations made at the recent bankers convention here.
 He laid it before the combined senate and house banking commit tees, which are delaying it's intro duction until comments are re- ceived on it from banks of the territory. It was rushed to them in complete form immediately after the committees. started considering it Wednesday.
 Crutcher, with Juneau attorney, drafted the bill in the two weeks following the bankers session.
 Tt is an entire rewriting of the present laws" he explained. "The attorney decided that was better than trying to make the many amendments to bring the banking laws up to date. It includes many points approved by the American Bankers Association"
 One of the provisions would re- quire all new banks to acquire federal deposit insurance. It would not force existing institutions to do so
 Crutcher reported at the same time that a poll of the 21 banks in the territory showed II of them in favor of compulsory deposit in- surance within five years, for all . banks. Eight voted against it and two did not vote The poll was ordered at the bankers convention. Crutcher said those represented at the convention, who had all the background, were generally the ones favoring the proposal. He said some old banks feel they have been established solidly for so many years that insurance is not needed and is a useless expense. He told the legislators that some of the g-established bankers also don't like to feel that something is being showed at them"
 i Crutcher said about half dozen other banking bills also are being prepared, covering such financial angles as small loans.
 One of the principal changes pro- posed in the general banking bill would be an increase from three to five in the territorial banking board. The present board includes the gov ] ernor, treasurer and auditor. A banker and business man would be added.

 "No widespread transfers are con- templated nor are the majority of the towns mentioned in the Chron- icle dispatch involved in our pre- sent plans" said Rhode.
