Chinese Reds In Korea Says Army Spokesman
Tokyo, Nov. 9—(U.P.)—Communist China has thrown four of its crack armies against United Nations forces in Korea and massed another 500,000 men in adjacent Manchuria, a spokesman for Gen. Douglas MacArthur charged today.
He said up to 60,000 Chinese troops already were in the battle zone and scuffed at Peking reports they were "volunteers." The 50 to 100 Chinese prisoners taken so far by the Allies did not volunteer, he said.
The spokesman could offer no explanation for the sudden Communist withdrawal on the northwest and northeast fronts. But there was speculation that the Chinese might be trying to avoid combat with the Americans while the United Nations was considering their case.
American and British patrols in northwest Korea struck $4^{1/2}$ miles north from their new defense line today and found nothing but dead Communist soldiers and a handful of stragglers.
In the northeast, Chinese Communists who had stalled U.S. Marines south of the important Chosin reservoir also suddenly broke off contact and pulled back north. South Korean forces farther northeast pushed on up the coast only 85 miles from the Soviet frontier.
Only on the central front were the Communists offering any opposition. Patrols from the U.S. 2nd division in the west and marines in the east were prevented frominking up in the central mountains.
Despite the lull in ground fighting, the Allied air forces carried their all-out, 1,000-plane offensive against the narrow Communist strip of Korea below the Manchurian border into its third straight day.
B-29 Superfortresses again paced the attack with their third fire raid of the week. They virtually burned out the important road junction and supply center of Pukchin, through which Chinese troops have been pouring toward the city to fight against 10,000 incendiary bombs, each weighing 10 pounds, cascaded on the hapless town 40 miles south-east of the Manchurian frontier.
Other B-29s bombed the northeast coast port of Chongjin on the Communist supply route from Soviet Siberia and Manchuria.
U. S. Navy dive-bombers took over the bombardment of smouldering Sinjui, North Korean temporary capital on the northwest frontier which was nearly 90 per cent destroyed by 79 B-29s yesterday.
They scored direct hits with 2,000-pound bombs on both of the 2,000-foot double-tracked railway bridges across the Yalu river frontier between Sinuiju and the Manchurian city of Antung. B-29s dropped 2,000-pound bombs on the bridges yesterday, but failed to knock them out.
Tito May Lend Troops To UN
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Nov. 9 — (U.P.)—Premier Marshal Tito told his people today that Yugoslavia soon may contribute an armed forces unit to the United Nations for use against aggressors.
All newspapers splashed across their entire front pages this morning the text of an interview Tito gave three days ago to C. L. Sulzberger of the New York Times.
Observers placed the greatest importance on the Yugoslav Communist party's decision to publish Tito's declarations.
The translation differed slightly from the version published in the New York Times. It quoted Tito as saying:
1. Yugoslavia will abide by whatever decision the UN makes in the event Communist China is declared an aggressor.
2. "Our country is not very enthusiastic about symbol help because it is a weak policy which has practically no effect," and Yugoslavia is considering contributing armed forces to the U.N.
3. Yugoslavia "does not care what others will say if it is offered a good opportunity" to purchase or receive arms from any country, including the United States, if its independence is at stake.
4. Yugoslavia realizes today that "the Marshall Plan is not so catastrophic as it is presented by some, because we see it has helped France and Italy."

Korean Atrocities Pictures Show Other Aspect Of War
With Ist Cavalry Division, Korea—(U.P.) A quiet army major who once was criminal courts prosecutor in Indianapolis has become the custodian of two growing piles of horror.
.
One is a pile of photographs of murdered American soldiers and Korean civilians. The other is a pile of statements of eyewitnesses to these war crimes.
Major Robert E. Brown, 36, of Indianapolis, who in 1947 was on the staff of the Marion County, Indiana, prosecutor, has made a career in this war of investigating atrocity slayings. As assistant division judge advocate, he has investigated the atrocities reported where the 1st cavalry division has been in action.
From Aug. 17 to Oct. 25 he gathered evidence on 25 atrocity slaying incidents, 8 involving American prisoners of war and the other civilians. The slain included about 350 American prisoners of war and about 1,200 Korean civilians.
The pictures are damming. They show the peaceful, quaint exterior of Korean cottages—their roof corners turned up in the architectural style typical of the Orient. Then you come to the photographs of the interior.
Brown has a series of pictures growing out of an ambush of an American service company which had been en route to pick up food for fighting units. That was Oct. 13,
There lie the sprawled bodies—tied up, shot, hacked, clubbed, bayoneted, stained with blood.
two miles north of the 38th parallel. Twelve captured Americans were put in a room.
At Chinnampo Brown investigated three cell blocks in a building which was headquarters for North Korean "Chiande" (secret police) or the "Chong Chi Boo Wui" (thought control police). Prisoners there had been hacked about the head with an ax. Some survived.
When American fighting troops neared the house the 12, sitting on the floor, were shot. Seven died. Five played dead and escaped the next morning after the North Koreans withdrawn from the area. The dead had been bayoneted in the throat after the shooting. The five who escaped each had two or more gunshot wounds, and some of them were carried or dragged by the others to a road.
Another picture showed what Brown termed "a typical Korean deal in a police station." Twenty-four civilians, their hands tied, had been hacked to death with an ax or bludgeoned to death. Some had their heads blown off.
"Some had simply refused to go in the Red army," Brown said. "Others had not cooperated with the government. All these atrocities occurred in areas which the American forces were about to enter."
Since all members of the group showed keen interest in the T.V.A. project, the teachers arranged a field trip to see it.
Japanese Student In Journalism Has State Department Scholarship
"After we saw some great dams and farms of T.V.A. Sato," said "one
The students who are sponsored under the orientation program of the "U.S. state department, went through intensive 6-week orientation courses at 10 centers throughout the country. Sato said that he and 34 others, "including girls," were oriented at the University of Indiana.
Four formal classes were taught—reading clinic, composition, speech, and a general introduction to America. "In reading clinic." Sato said, "we found out that our average reading ability corresponded to that of 7th or 12th graders, although all of us had won in competitive tests in the English language against some 6,000 graduates of Japanese universities."
Koji Sato, a Japanese national and a graduate student in the School of Journalism, flew to the United States the past July with 279 other Japanese students who are attending various American colleges on one-year scholarships.
In speech class recordings were made at the beginning and end of the course so that the students could determine their progress in pronunciation and enunciation. Many motion pictures were used to present an introduction to American civilization and history.
of our members exclaimed, 'My confidence in human beings has been increased by looking at this great achievement brought about by the cooperation of men!' These words probably represent the general impression among us."
According to the Institute of International Education in New York, plans are being made to send Japanese students to the United States with the same scholarship next year.
To express their gratitude for the kindness of the teachers the students held a Japanese-style "Sukiyaki" party for them and their families. After cooking and serving a dinner of Japanese food, the students displayed Japanese kimonos, sang their national songs and played a bamboo flute. They also collected Japanese dolls, wood-prints, fans, and toys and presented each guest with one of these articles.
The orientation course ended Sept. 8 with what Sato termed "great success." He said that "every Japanese student not only gained valuable knowledge about America, but each helped to introduce knowledge of Japanese problems and culture to Americans."
Museum Displays Illustration Of Bird 'Ecological Counterparts'
The members of each pair are totally unrelated and are from widely separated geographic areas, but yet resemble each other because they lived in similar habitats. This phenomenon is found in many groups of animals and those animals exhibiting it are known as ecological counterparts.
On display in the lobby of the Museum of Natural History are six pairs of birds which illustrate what the biologists call "ecological counterparts."
Harrison B. Tordoff, assistant curator of ornithology, said more possible combinations of the various colors and patterns are found in birds than there are kinds of birds that have been observed in certain types of plumage coloration. Bill shapes are frequently repeated in unrelated groups.
The six groups of birds are representative of the nectar-insect
eaters, the tree-foraging insect eaters, the open grassland dwellers, the finches and tanagers, the new world and the old world orioles, and the weaver-finches and tanagers.
The best example is a comparison of the North American meadowlark and the African pipit. The pipit is smaller but almost identical in plumage. They are totally unrelated and members of different families. Their habits are alike in that both are ground-dwellers; they forage on the ground; their songs are similar; and they live in plains areas.
The display is changed several times a year by Diane Danley, museum hostess.
