Sm. LeKOT BENOOLD, Traasv -1 DAY 1951' 1 B. JOHNSON an ageless sky the heavens high teio Si a i Tr: i a 1 centers along the shore. Ousted General Home TRAVIS AIR BASE, May 29 (JP). Brig.

Gen. Luther W. Sweetser, arrived today from Tokyo, tightlipped about his re moval as commander of an Air Force light bomber wing. He was relieved two weeks ago. The stocky flier said he had nothing to say when asked for comment on today's ex planatory statement in Tokyo by Lt.

Gen. Earle H. Partridge, acting commander of the Far East Air Forces. That statement said: "General Sweetser, after a con siderable period of time, was unable to achieve the maximum combat potential from his 452nd Light Bomb Wing. "I felt that under different leadership, the 452nd's contribution to the air war in Korea would be substantially enhanced." MacArthur CentinaeS Frees First.

Pace the Senate inquiry into the ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur as Far East commander. He completed his testi mony late in the day and will be followed to the stand tomorrow at 10 a. m. by Admiral Forrest Sher man, chief of naval operations.

Throughout the day, Vandenberg hammered on the idea of a bigger, stronger Air Force to meet the threat of Russia's growing air strength. Likened British Navy He pictured the future American Air Force in the same role which the British Navy played in history lor so many years. "The British Navy, which was su perior at one time to all the combined navies of the world," he said. "kept the peace for a long period of time. My only hope is that the TJ.

S. Air Force can be built to a point where it can do a similar job for the free nations of the -world. I believe it to be the greatest power for peace that the United States can possibly have." He conceded the Air Force this year has received all the money from Congress that it can spend efficiently. But he insisted the money was not provided soon enough. And again he rejected the pro posal by MacArthur to bomb Red supply bases in China and Manchuria.

He claimed American fliers would run into "a hornet's nest" of Russian planes outside of Korean borders and U. S. losses would far outweigh any gains. Feared Russian Intervention Vandenberg said there was a be lief at the start of the Korean war Russia was more likely to intervene than the Chinese. But with those views and rec ognizing the very evident risks," he said, "we all believed and concurred that somewhere, sometime, we had to stop being pushed around, and to afford some hope to those people who lined themselves up with.

us, that they could expect some assistance from the United States. General MacArthur concurred In that and that is my understanding." At another point, Vandenberg said be did not mean to imply in testify ing yesterday that the U. S. strategic air strength would have to be doubled to carry out Mac Arthur's plans to bomb Red bases. I believe those words were some what put in mouth," he said.

There is no intention on mjr part to say or to impute that wnat General MacArthur has ad- fvocated is something that couldn't be done with the force that he advocated." He went on to say he was con cerned over the Air Force's global responsibilities and for that reason could not go along with Mac- Arthur's proposal. Previously he has said the Air Force could not afford to disperse its strength with an all- out bombing of Manchuria. Hope for Peace Limited Vandenberg did not sav or the censors of the testimony deleted now big an Air Force he believed this -country should have. Congress nas autnorized a 95-eronn force but will be only about 87 groups strong oy June 30. Vandenberg said he did not be-eve war with Russia is inevitable although "I must confess that mv hope for a peaceful world situation is rather limited." Then under auestlonine bv Sen ator Smith (R-NJ) the four-star general told the committees: 1.

He is opposed to the admission of Red China into the United Nations under any 2. He believes the island of For mosa, the Chinese Nationalist stronghold, has strategic value to the United States and he would op pose Red (control of the island. With these views. Vandenbersr sided with other military leaders including MacArthur in opposing UN membership for Red China or Red control of Formosa as the basis for peace discussions in Korea. As critical As MacArthur Vandenberor save his testimonv to the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees con ducting their inquiry.

At one point. Senator Hlcken- looper (R-Iowa) said sharply Vandenberg had been as critical of U. S. policy in Korea as MacArthur had been. Hickenlooper wondered wnetner Vandenberg should resign or be relieved of his command.

Vandenberg has said he agreed with the other joint chiefs of staff that MacArthur should be dismissed because of his opposition to administration war policy. At New York, Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn) President Truman's administration "had no vision, no star to hitch our wagon to" in the Korean war. General MacArthur. on the other hand, made a deep impression on Americans because he had given "a plan and aim" for prosecuting the war, Kefauver said.

Enemy prisoners captured since April 22 "approach 10,000," Ridgway told a news conference at his The supreme Allied commander returned to Tokyo this afternoon after a two-day visit to Korea. He immediately called the first news conference since he replaced Gen eral MacArthur.

Ridgway said that despite their severe losses, Xhe Communists still have the capacity for offensive ac tion. He said the Reds could em ploy five Chinese armies "whose exact strength we don't The rains, which had helped to shield the Red retreat, abated and in cloudy weather Allied warplanes rained destruction on the backtrack ing enemy. The Far East Air Force estimated that Air Force and Navy planes in flicted approximately 1,000 casual ties; About 900 sorties were flown. Night bcmbers reported heavy movement of traffic behind the enemy lines. They attacked more than 800 Oomnrunist vehicles and said at least 60 were destroyed.

Most of the movement was north, away from the front. Picture In Western Front Enemy resistance was 4 heavy to light along the western front, where the Allies were across the 38th Parallel. One prong was aimed men ancingly at base 20 miles north of the old boundary between north and south Korea. South Koreans on the extreme west crossed the Imjin River and ran into an enemy battalion. This crossing was made south of 28 miles northwest of SeouL A few miles to the east, a TJ.

S. Army division sent patrols to the outskirts of Yonchon, six miles in side North Korea. But an enemy regiment dug in on hills on both sides of the road checked ad vance. The Reds were sensitive, to. this thrust since Yonchon lies on the road to another big Communist base, Chorwon, about 13 miles west of Kumhwa.

Farther east, elements of a TJ. S. division reached the Hantan River, but the distance of its penetration was censored. This force met little resistance. East of this Hantan advance UN troops moved north more than two miles to a point which Carter said was "high above the Parallel." The distance north was not given, but this thrust was the one which was menacing Hardest Fighting Around Dam The hardest fighting appeared to be around Hwachon Reservior on the central front east of the push toward Kumhwa.

An Eighth Army briefing officer said the Allies now "are in a posi tion overlooking the dam." He said artillery fire could keep the enemy from crossing the dam, which is also a road of retreat. worm Korean communists, re placing the retreating Chinese Reds in the Ime, were fighting much better on the Hwachon front. Allied forces east of the reservoir ground out some gains, but were forced back from one hill position by an attack by possibly 1,000 enemy troops. There was bloody hand-to-hand fighting here, where U. S.

troops were within four miles of Yanggu at the eastern tip of the reservoir, Red Koreans attacked before day light and the Americans counterattacked at dawn. The fighting swirled through the woods at point blank range. When the fighting ended the Americans held the last ridges on the pass leading to Yang gu. Enemy troops cut off In the Hwachon area had made good their escape over the hills and few pris oners were being taken now. The Eighth Army estimated 18,000 Chinese were killed, wounded or cap tured in the four-day battle along the central front.

The U. S. 24 th Division, first to enter the war, cap tured possibly 3,000 enemy troops. The strong Allied task force that had thrust up the road from Inje toward the east coast was stopped 20 miles short of a linkup with South Koreans on the east coast, reports said. Censorship obscured details.

Kansong Falls Without Firht The Eighth Army briefing officer reported the South Koreans entered Kansong yesterday without a fight. He had no information as to whether the South Koreans had pushed on beyond Kansoner. Sea and air blows were falling on Communist supply lines far behind the front. Superforts from Japanese bases plastered the railway yards at Kowon, near the east coast 22 miles north of the rubbled port of Won san. Other B-29s ranged far north and attacked a key railway bridge south of Kanggye near the Yalu River boundary of Manchuria.

Other planes destroyed large stores of ammunition and fuel in skip bombing attacks on tunnels which the enemy was using for supply dumps behind the front Allied warships off the east coast kept up the bombardment of Inje on the east coast road.) The operation started last Thursday when the task force of tanks and supporting infantry barreled up the Hongchong-Inje road. The task force had to fight its way through four miles of enemy roadblocks and ambushes before reaching the south bank of the Choyang River. The Reds were fighting desperately to keep the route open for own retreat. A company of infantrymen was sent across the river to clean out a pocket of Reds. Then the tanks rumbled across.

Tae task xorce oattiea its way over a stiff mountain pass and down into Inje four miles north of the 38th Parallel. The going was rough all the way. The Reds were well armed. Some carried American weapons captured in their last offensive. (Six tanks were knocked out by bazookas shooting down from a sharp bluff overlooking the road, Babbling Incoherently One tank leader a young first lieutenant who had been on more patrols into enemy territory than the number of his years was led to the rear, babbling incoherently.

A bazooka struck his tank and killed most of the crew. Communists were dug in on every hill around the town of Inje. one lull looming up immediately behind the town's one church was honeycombed with, bunkers, pill boxes, trenches. Tank guns pounded, those emplacements to assist sweating GI's who slowly worked their way up to the top. After a four-hour battle the hill was in friendly hands.

Back down the road American engineers built a pontoon bridge acress the Choyang River for the trucks and jeeps to come across. The engineers worked with sniper bullets snging around their heads. A supply truck making the dash from Inje back to Hangye about 21 miles had to run' a gantlet of enemy sniper fire and the same four-mile roadblock "that had failed to stop the tank. One convoy of 22 trucks was hit hard. The driver of one had to knock Chinese from his path as he rode down the road.

The bullet-riddled wreck of the other (figures censored out) trucks lined the road. Sweat Out Operation Ahead On Saturday morning. May. 26, the main body of the "flying column formed along the road near Hangye. Groups of men sat around fires in a steady, rain and sweated out the operation ahead.

An MP moved from group to group giving final instruction. "Don't abandon your vehicle," he said, "as long as the dam thing will still run." A blonde soldier looked up at him and asked: "What do I do if they shoot me?" "Put It onautomatic pilot," came back the answer, "and drop dead." At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the column finally began moving. Exactly 10 hours later the trucks and jeeps crawled into a bivouac area on the north bank of. the Choyang. An intermittent rain fell.

Weary men climbed out of their vehicles and tried to find a drying spot to sleep. But the ran seemed to reach them even under the trucks and trailers. Some gave up the idea of sleep and opened cans of C-ra tion. No fire could be lit because of the snipers in the surrounding hills. The men ate cold beef and ham.

Just three hours', after they reached the bivouac area the men were alerted again. Once more they stood around for hours while the in fan try cleared the road ahead. -It was almost 'dark when the column started moving north. Ride Rough On Nerves The ride through the black night Was rough on the nerves. Bob Schutz, AP photographer, and I were riding in a jeep with the MP's.

Halfway from the river to Inje the column stopped at a section of road with a steep bluff rising on one side and a sheer drop to the river bed on the other. Like most of the many stops this one was because of a Communist ambush. A small group of Reds were tossing hand grenades down on the convoy from the roadside cliff. When the trouble was cleared up by the infantry, the convoy swept down the road once again. Shortly they came to another stop.

The road had caved in on a curve, carrying a truck down with it. Two men were trapped in the truck cab. One died quickly. The other lasted three hours but there was no way to lift the heavy truck from him. At dawn Sunday the column reached Inje.

The tanks and infan try of the task forces were battling to gain control of the high ground along the road leading to Kansong The town of Inje was a pile of rubble. The bodies of Communists and dead pack animals littered the main street. The smell of dead flesh was overpowering. Tired, hungry men moved far enough away from the nearest corpse before opening can of rations. Occasional Shell Arrives All day the column waited in Inje while the Reds stllT in the hills around the town sent an occasional mortar round or fired bullets down amone the cluster of men and trucks.

Six mortar shells dropped along the river bank where some of the GI's were washing off the dust of the road. Some were hit by shrapneL For more, long, tedious hours the men waited to make their dash to the sea. Lt. Gen. Edward M.
