Reds Stiffen, Toss Back Allied Forces
Tokyo (U.P).-Counter-attacking Communist troops drove nine miles deep into Allied lines in central Korea Monday. On the eastern end of the line the Reds wiped out a five-mile South Korea toehold north of the 38 parallel.
Allied forces in the west were thrown back in their second straight day of efforts to drive into Seoul across the wide Han river. But American tanks which captured Kimpo airfield Saturday ranged 18 miles northwest of Seoul.
The Reds put their heaviest punch into the central front counter-attack and by Monday night had:
1. Hurled South Korean forces back eight to nine miles into the mountain stronghold of Hoengsong, besieged it from north, east and west and thrown up road blocks to the south. Hand-to-hand fighting raged in the streets of Hoengsong.
2. Trapped an American battalion just west of Hoengsong. The Americans were cut off when South Koreans on their right flank were knocked back into the city.
3. Driven U.S. troops from hill 444, five miles east of Chipyong, and were assaulting Chipyong itself with steadily-increasing forces.
In their first lunge the Communists gained eight to nine miles and trapped an American battalian and a South Korean regiment.
Desperate fighting still raged all along a 35-mile segment of the central front Monday night from Chipyong to a point 15 miles south of Hoengsong. Chipyong is 20 miles west of Hoengsong.
"Elements of three Chinese Communist armies in conjunction with two North Korean corps launched a strong counter-attack against two South Korean divisions in an area north and northwest of Hoengsong early this morning," an 8th army communiqué said.
"The enemy attack gained momentum during the day, forcing United Nations elements to withdraw from their positions." Although complete ground reports are not available, air observation reported a large group of enemy moving southeast into this battle zone and reported observing numerous road blocks to the rear of friendly positions this morning."
A South Korean force fighting along the east coast also was thrown back after a five-mile dash across the 38th parallel Sunday. In their drive north the South Koreans captured Yangyang with the help of Allied warships offshore. But they held their toeloeh in North Korea for only 18 hours.
The dash across the boundary was the first advance into North Korea since UN forces withdrew below the parallel in late December and early January. Several United Nations patrol stabs across the Han river into Seoul were forced back Sunday and another attempt met the same fate Monday.
the same Communists in Seoul bombarded Allied-held Yongdongpo, a Seoul suburb west of the Han river, early Monday night. Their artillery was believed to be Russian-made 122-millimeter cannon. The bombardment was the heaviest Red artillery fired United Nations forces have felt since they reached the Han river.
Student Hurt In Accident
Weltman D. Bailey, graduate student living in Oread hall, suffered a shoulder injury and shook in an automobile accident 8 miles east of Tonganoxie on highway 24 at 9:55 p.m. Sunday.
Bailey, who was identified by his KU. parking permit, was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The accident occurred when a pickup truck going west on the high way slowed to pull off the road, acceding to state highway patrolmen. Bailey, who was alone in his car going west, applied his brakes to avoid hitting the truck and skidded sideways. The front of his car collided with an eastbound car and the rear end with the west-bound pickup truck.
pickup truck.
Damage to Bailey's car was estimated at $750 by a State highway patrolman.
