|U.N. Bombing Pattern
In Korea Aims 10 Cut
Civilians Morale
BY John A. Giles

/ A systematic bombing cam
spaign calculated to wear down
THE will of civilians and thus
weaken the Communists position
y in the armistice talks is under
way In Korea.
Military officials here thus in
terpreted today the Tokyo an
nouncement that military targets
in Is North Korean cities and
towns had been selected for de-
struction after civilians have been
warned by radio and leaflets.
The precedent lies in World
War II. Wien japanese cities were
earmarked for obliteration with
atmic bombs and their populations
warned in advance. In Korea
there Is no indication that an
atomic attack is contemplated.
But what puzzled reporters at
the Pentagon was the oft-repeated
utterances of top officers that the
bombers had virtually run out
Of targets" in Korea. That has
been the refrain over the past
weeks. until overnight Gen. Mark
Clark's Tokyo command came upl
with the Is cities earmarked for
attacks.
Hammer at Supply Lines.
Officers had this explanation:
Intelligence has known for a long
time that the Reds have been
using cities and towns not only
to house troops and supplies but
also for important communications
headquarters. Some of these OBJ
jectives were hit earlier but gen.
orally the Allies have tried to |
avoid bombing population centers
unless urgent military needs die
tated otherwise.
The Air Force has been direct
ing its attack against the flow of
supplies from Manchuria into
Korea. It succeeded in choking
off a substantial volume of arms
and equipment-though not all,
by any means. AS the Allies con-
centrated their attacks on roads
and railroads, the Reds stored
their supplies in towns and vii
lagos.
And as the armistice talks have
dragged on and on over the
months those storage places in
the population centers have be-
come larger and larger.
Will Blame Red Leaders.
So the campaign was decided
on now to bomb and strafe the
centers and to blame the Red ,
leaders for jeopardizing the .
civilians by hiding military OBJ ,
jectives in population areas. L
The psychological effect, it is
hoped, will be felt at Panmunjom. ,
Should North Koreans be per- j
to leave the cities and :
towns and the support jobs they Il
have been doing, the Red COM :
will find it more difficult
to get supplies to their front lines.
And some Of the bombings are
bound to hit the Communist
troops who have recently been
withdrawn from the most adj
positions and pulled back
into some of the areas earmarked 6
for bombing. Il
But should the military refuse +
to allow the civilians to leave, a =
feeling Of helplessnesS and futility a
might arise among the population
