Reds Amphibious
Attack Squelched


South Korean Marines beat off
a Communist amphibious invasion
of an allied-held island off the
northeast coast of Korea in a 49,
hour battle, the allies announced
today.
The Korean Army said its Ma
rines sank 13 of the 20 invasion
boats.
Seventy invaders were reported
killed and six captured. Prisoners
included the commander OF the
amphibious attack.
Nine south Korean Marines
were killed and six wounded, the
Navy said.
The assault was made by a Red
battalion-about 800 or 1000
men. 1t was not indicated whether
they were Chinese or north ko-
rcans.
The battle lasted until 10 am.
Thursday when the last of the
attackers fled back to the Red
Mainland in their remaining
boats.
The assault was directe d
against Yang Island, about l6 air
miles from the Communist east
coast port of Songjin.
Yang is believed to be the
northernmost island held by the
allies. It lies midway between the
40th and 41st parallel and serves
as lookout post off the Red
coast. The island presumably is
one that the allies would give
back to the communists if an
armistice is signed.
Republic of Korea (ROK) Ma
rines have occupied the island
since last summer.
Capt Choi Chung Song, COM
mander of the ROK garrison on
Yang, said captured equipment in
cluded three rocket guns, a wire
less set, IS Russian-made SUBJ
machine guns, light machine guns
and rifles.
Planes from the u. S. carrier
Essex swept into the Songjim
area Thursday smashing every
Red boat in sight. The Navy said
American airmen sank one Red
supply boat and 25 sampans. An
other 25 sampans were damaged.
On the opposite coast the heavy
cruiser Rochester plowed through
ice strewn waters of the Yellow
Sea and bombarded a communi-
cations center between Pyong-
yang, the Red Korean capital, and
its port city, Chinnampo. Her
eight inch guns blew up II build
ingS and set off two explosions
in Red supply dumps.
The battleship Wisconsin turned
her 16-inch guns on the eastern
end of the snow-swept 155-mile
battleiine.
Heaviest fighting in recent days
has been in the valleys between
eastern mountains. Thursday al
lied troops called on helicopters
to pull them out of Red trap in
the east. North Koreans who had
pinned down the allies, withdrew
over the snow covered ground un-
der the hammering of allied ar
tillery and reinforcements.
The u. S. Eighth Army re-
ported no fighting Friday except
brief clashes between small
groups ranging from a squad to
a platoon in size.
