North Korean forces invaded South Korea yesterday.

The group, which includes on Weather Forecast Map for the United States Forecast toune.26.2 Hill! cloudy woman, is headed by Raymond D. Meade, 52, of 1234 Sunnyside aw, Chicago Heights, former regis trar and associate professor of air protection. American planes swept over Seoul this afternoon en route to provide the air cover for the evacuees until their ships reach tmiied States destroyers at sea. According to plans completed mly a week ago, the dependents were taken from a dozen designated areas by buses, trucks, and cars. They then boarded ships at Inchon, 18 miles west cf Seoul on the west coast Small boats took the evacuees to two ships which will carry them to Fukuoka, Japan.

The north's first main penetration appeared to be north of Seoul, the capital After capturing Musan, Kaesong and Pochon, the Reds thrust along a rail line 8 miles north of Uijongbu, rail center 12 miles north of Seoul This indicated a penetration of 20 miles across the border. At other points, the invaders had rolled as deep as 10 miles across the 3Sth parallel which divides Korea into the Russian sponsored north and the American guided southern zone. Invasion Force Put at 50,000 As the south's defenses stiffened, its forces struck back across the border and their capture of Haeju was confirmed by an American military adviser. He said the northern invaders estimated to total at least 50,000 Russian education at the school. 1 Other Chicago area personnel in the mission, from which no word FOREIGN Defenders counterattack; drive Korea invaders back.

BY EDITH WEIGLE Chicago TribaM Press Service TOKYO, June 25 Americans in Tokyo today were carefully studying developments in the South Korean invasion for evidence that this may be the long feared start of World War HI.

As developments of the next few days were awaited to confirm or erase this fear, observers noted that the inscrutable calm of the Japanese people had been visibly shaken. Planned Evacuation Not Begun Carefully planned evacuation of 1.000 Americans in Korea was not yet underway and anxiety for iheir welfare was increasing here. The Japanese radio broadcast frequent bulletins of the invasion's progress but the occupation radio withheld any Korean news until the regular early evening short wave broadcast from the United States. Word of the fighting spread via grapevine and tension is mounting with each hour. Shortly after the soviet backed invasion of South Korea started a special plane carrying American newsmen took off from Jlaneda Tokyo airport for Seoul.

Also aboard was Harold Noble of the American embassy in Seoul, Ihe capital, who arrived here a few days ago for a short holiday. Tribune Has Only Newsman After an hour In the air, the plane was ordered back to Tokyo because Seoul airport was being strafed by North Korean planes. The newsmen hoped to get off again within 24 hcurs accompanied by fighter escort. The only Tokyo correspondent on the fighting scene is The Tribune's Walter Simmons, who made his 16th visit to Seoul a few days ago to cover the opening of the South Korean national assembly. Chinese Newsman Jimmy Wei here on a visit predicts almost immediate assault on Formosa by Chinese Communists to coincide with the North Koreans attack.

Should both invasions be successful Japan's situation would be precarious. Chiang Sends Message to President of Korea TAIPEI, Formosa, June 26 Monday (Nationalist China's Chiang Kai-Shek today sent a message to President Syngmah Rhee condemning the invastion of the Korean republic as "another expression of the vicious schemes of soviet Russia."

The main fighting roared down along the Uijongbu valley north of SeouL For centuries, invaders of Korea have used this valley in the mountainous peninsular country. Military observers said South Koreans fate would be settled in this valley, where it appeared that the north's attack had bogged down after yesterday's initial successes, in which Changdan and Paekchon were taken.

The South Korean air force, made up of trainer planes, sent three planes to the valley battle. The returning pilots said they had knocked out four northern tanks. Russian Crewmen in Tanks South Korean officials insisted that the invasion, which the Reds from the north tried to justify by charging South Koreans had attacked them along the border, was Russian instigated and assisted. Sinn Sung Mo, acting premier and defense minister of the southern republic, said he had received word that 10 of 20 northern tanks captured on the Seoul front had Russian crewmen. Six Red tanks were reported destroyed.

Sihn also said a southern coast guard vessel shelled and sank a Russian ship off the east coast and chased another back north. Russian built Yak planes bombed and strafed Seoul's Kimpo airport Sunday evening. They destroyed an American C-54 transport and seven of the South Korean air force's 10 unarmed AT-6 trainer planes. 2,000 Defenders 3Iay Have Fallen An American adviser said the Invaders may have killed 2,000 or 3,000 South Korean defenders, but no exact figures were available. The southern spokesman said the entire east coastline, where the northerners made a series of guerrilla and armored landings Sunday, now is completely secure.

Evatt, former president of the United Nations general assembly, said the attack on South Korea is an apparent case of unprovoked aggression."

Northern broadcasts about such a declaration at the beginning of the invasion were highly confused, possibly intentionally.

South Korea regards the invasion as an insurrection, not a war between nations. bassador John Muccio to appeal for American planes from Okinawa and Japan. He said South Korea had 60 trained pilots who could fly them. Altho the invasion, in which the Ongjin peninsula and all territory west of the Injin river fell at the outset, came as a tactical surprise, Sihn had warned the south on May 10 that an attack by the northerners was imminent. Officials here said an official declaration of war in a formal sense between the two parts of STORES which struck 10 miles across the border.

Yanks Stay Out of Fighting The United States military advisory group of 500 officers and men is not participating in the defense, but is keeping a close check of the fighting. Acting Premier Sihn put the invaders at 50.000 of the northern army's 183,000 trained men. He said the north had 173 tanks, 173 war planes, and 32 naval vessels. Sihn radioed the Korean embassy in Washington to appeal to President Truman for planes, tanks, bigger guns, ships, and other arms to stem the invasion.
