ATTACK ON POHANG OPENED BY ALLIES Analysis By Mark S. Watson Sunpapers Military Correspondent (Continued from Page 1) By WILLIAM (Continued was the only significant engagement fought by the Marines In a 24-hour period, the relentless push forward was making a heavy demand on the Strength and will power of the brigade. The battalions move together all during the daylight hours. At night the leading unit would get a few hours of rest while the other moved through in leap-frog fashion to take its turn in front, but the column as a whole has had but little rest since the advance began.

But lack of rest wasn't the only problem. The Marines continued to march under a scorching sun and the high rate of heat prostrations remained a thorn in the flesh of officers and men. At least two thirds of the force was on foot. The plodding Leathernecks were taking it welt and letting off their resentment, as usual, by cheerfully blaming their troubles on the Army. "You guys must be soldiers.

they would holler at fellow Ma rines driving past in a truck or a jeep, and the saUy, repeated ten times in an hour, would always draw a grin. Evidence Of Resistance In the first stages of today's march the Marines looked grimly at evidences of the determined resistance their advance patrols had met late yesterday in trying to reach Kosong. Burned and shrapnel-torn vehicles lay beside the road and there were usually sticKy oiotcnes oi blood somewhere visible. By midday they were having an experience which previously had been the privilege of the enemy they were passing shell-torn enemy positions, weapons and vehicles. It cheered everyone.

They joked about the Russian-built "Model-A jeeps of the North Koreans and nodded approvingly as they paused to in spect the holes our fire had made in anti-tank guns and machine guns which yesterday were endangering or wounding Americans. The prize find was a number of North Korean motorcycles with sidecars. Some had been carefully chalked by engineers. "Booby trap," but the Marines couldn keep their hands off the others. Hooked Up To Jeeps Fifteen minutes hasty re pairs had been made to the main parts of the motorcycles and side cars and they had been hooked to the rear of jeeps, and some of the were riding along in comparative comfort.

As the head of the main force entered the outskirts of Kosong early this morning, there was a brief halt and the marching riflemen took to a shallow river which ran across their line of march. Reduced to a trickle by the blaz ing sun and the lack of rain, the river was only 3 or 4 feet wide and a few inches deep, but it was enough to cool the feet and hands before the advance resumed. It was then that the most en couraging aspect of the day became known to the troops. Communications men listening to reports between units passed the word Marine airmen had spotted an enemy truck convoy ahead carrying hundreds of men, but fleeing from the driving Marine. A Load Off The Mind That news took a load off everyone's mind; It meant that the alert Marine airmen would blast many of them out of existence before they could find holes to hide in.

As the word went clown the line, the tired men of the fighting 1st looked at each other and grinned, and they continued to feel good even when a few snipers took the liberty of shooting at them as they swung into the heart of Kosong. As the first small-bore rifle shots Into the dust, they took to the ditches Instinct Iveiy. but it was only a moment before the squads were on their feet again exploring side alleys and vegetable garden lots in which the snipers were apparently concealed. After fifteen minutes no snipers had been uncovered in the maze of small buildings and piles of rubble along the streets. Column Moves On "The hell with them!" exclaimed an officer at the head of one battalion.

"These people can't hit a barn door anyway." The column moved on, leaving a platoon of mortarmen and head quarters personnel who had already begun setting up a temporary base in the town to cope with the hidden Reds. Kosong, hard hit all day by air strikes and by artillery, was still smoldering and the few semi-modern brick buildings of three or four stories the first the Marines had seen in Korea were gutted. Each had been hit by at least one rocket or howitzer shell. Land Gets Flatter The column wasted no time passing through the city, and by late afternoon it had gone through, turned west toward Sachon and was moving through increasingly flat countryside a relief after the unending waves of hills and mountains from Pusan westward. More and ore the Marines were giving the impression of being an efficient fighting unit.

No one could be enjoying the relentless march deeper into Red-held territory, but everybody was making the best of it. A group of machine gunners, men who are distinguished by having more to carry on a march than any other foot soldiers, were huddled in conversation in the shadow of a wrecked building. "How far is it to the Thirty-eighth Parallel?" one of them asked, turning to another who held a map. He was obviously taken aback by the answer, but he quickly shrugged and grinned. "Hell, we better get going." was his comment.

"This thing could become a career." Text of communique' A'o. 35 issued headquarters: into the 1st Cavalry Division sector being strongly countered by the United States troops in hand-to-hand combat. The Communists, estimated at 300, are receiving tank-fire support from west of the river. Previous crossing attempts late yesterday and last night were repulsed. First Cavalry patrols into enemy territory yesterday west of the river captured several pris oners.

An attack supported by ten tanks was made by the North Koreans during the night against the 1st ROK (Republic of Korea) Divi sion. By midmorning five tanks had been knocked out and the attack slopped. Yesterday afternoon the 8th and Capital ROK Divisions made successful attacks in the Uisong vicinity and at nightfall were pursuing the enemy. Unconfirmed and varying reports from Pohang indicate that the city was in the possession of North Korean troops numbering up to 3,000. United Nations forces in the area are counterattacking.

YOUR the only ha a tivo ke in a country so often rain and fogbound as Korea the more alterna tives we have the better. They provide quick refueling bases, which are particularly needed when our main bases are in distant Japan. Perhaps most important of all. although this has not been sufficiently dwelt upon, they provide a variety of takeoff points for our interceptor planes. We have had small use for interceptors so far, simply because the enemy has put into the air extremely few fighter planes for us to intercept.

From this fact there appears to have sprung up in this country a dreadfully complacent confidence that the enemy has been permanently driven from the air, and that we will continue indefinitely to enjoy the almost complete immunity our bombers and attack planes have had for a month. Earlier Estimates Recalled If things work out that way, it will indeed be a happy state of affairs. Eut it seems safer to recall that some complacent estimates of six weeks ago proved inaccurate that the enemy's tanks were World War II affairs of Japanese make, that hi; troops' morale was getting low, that his supplies would be cut off and he would soon have to stop, that his troop column advancing unimpeded down the west side of the peninsula (which ultimately got within 40 moles of Pusan) was too small to be troublesome, then that it would be mousetrapped, and then that it could not get through the mountain barrier; that the mysterious column coming down the eastern mountains was no cause for worry until Pohang was hit, etc. Specifically, it would perhaps be safer to conjecture that the enemy has his own air program. Certainly he has competent pilots.

The fact Tokyo. Aug. 11 American fighter pilots on short, fast strafing runs poured a hot stream of machine-gun fire today into North Korean Communists striking for the important United Stales airstrip on the east coat of Korea, 6 miles southeast of Pohang. The action was in support of American and South Korean ground troops uho were driven from the port town by invading Ileds Friday night. As the American flyers helped In the battle to save their operational base.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters reported enemy aircraft sighted over the Naktong are in the west. The report said "four enemy aircraft were observed" during the afternoon. The United States war-planes have been spotting Increased numbers of Red planes but seldom have caught any in the air. A 5th Air Force announcement United States Mustang fighter also strafed Communist troops and convoys moving down the coastal road toward Pohang from their communications center of Yongdok, about 25 miles north.

Hit Targets Near Yongdok. the fizhters hit a schoolhouse full of Red troops. They blew up a fuel dump near Pohang. TUe 5th Air Force said helicopters rescued three downed flyers during the day. An Air Force pilot was lifted off enemy territory near Kumchon.

in central Korea, and two Marine airmen were rescued near Kosong, on the south coast, one from the ground and the other from the water. The 5th Air Force flew 273 sorties during the day and destroyed three Russian-made Yak planes on the ground as well as vehicles, dumps and buildinps at Kimpo Airport, near Seoul; Kigye, near Pohang. and Waegwan, on the central front's Naktong River line. Navy Manes Successful The United States 7th Fleet said its navy and Marine planes wrought heavy damage in two days of hard-hitting attacks on Red communications, troops and military installations. The main effort of the carrier-based planes was directed against Inchon, on the west coast of Korea, the port for Seoul.

Bombs weighing 500 and 1.000 pounds were dropped on Inchon's factories, warehouses and vehicle assembly plants. Other navy planes flew ground-support missions along the central front and bombed targets at widespread points throughout South. Korea. Luxury Liner Laid Up, Hull Damaged Paris, Aug. 11 OPi The 45.000-ton French liner He de France was laid up in dry dock at Le Havre today because of damage to her hull.

The liner's scheduled sailing for New York tomorrow has been postponed until August 19. Company officials said the 24-year-old liner had hit an underwater object on the voyage from New York, but that the damaee was not serious. They said they did not know the cause of the accident and ruled out sabotage to the world's fourth-largest passenger ship. They speculated that it might have struck a sunken wTeck on entering the Le Havre harbor. In Rome, the American Export Line reported its liner Excambion struck a submerged object off Cape De Gata.

Spain, two days ago. Extent of the damage was not disclosed but company officials said the liner is continuing under her own power to Marseilles, France, for dry-docking. By MARK S. WATSOV (Continued from Page 1) and Just as opaque as any in Europe. Since the fighting began on June 25 we have had the greatest diffi culty in getting any information about enemy formations or plans.

It has been obtained, if at all, only at the risk of life, or actual outlay life. It has been startling, on the other hand, to find information about our own deployment given away in the theater of war itself, and with official sanction. Co-Operation Request The issue broke out publicly at the Pentagon once more today, when American press and radio representatives (still working under a wholly voluntary censorship, but with a much more vigi lant official guidance here than exists In the Korean command) were informed that hereafter large troop movements overseas would not be announced, as they have been in the past. Press and radio were requested to co-operate by making no such identifications. To press and radio reporters pres ent this was a welcome and long-awaited announcement.

But on the reasoning that saving at the spigot is of less importance than wasting at the bunghole of the Korean bar rel, defense authorities then were asked abruptly whether this was to be the limit of censorship. Study Seems Complete Specifically, it was asked wheth er the Far East command would continue, as at present, to find unwarranted" criticism to be in tolerable, but do nothing to halt breaches of military security. The official answer was that this matter was under study. The fact seems to be that the "study" is complete, and the prospect ts that belatedly in tne tar tast attention will be given to eliminating from public discussion such military information as would clearly be of value to the enemy. Alerting And Training Move Reports Banned Washington, Aug.

11 papers and radio stations were requested by the armed forces today not to report alerts or movements of military forces in training in the United States. An army officer read a statement on the subject, in which Navy and Air Force representatives con curred. It said: "From time to time there will be troops in training in the United States of America alerted and moved. For genuine military security reasons, it is highly desirable that there be no mention of these alerts or movements in the press or over the air. "The alerting of National Guard units at their home stations for movement to training areas may be announced locally and publicized without damage to security; but roundups of units, statewide or national, would be of assistance to the enemy.

The co-operation of all news media is earnestly requested." The Army will continue to announce when National Guard divisions are called into Federal service. The Army has no objection to local publication of the calling of smaller guard units into service, but pointed out that state or na tional roundups of the summoning of such units would give a free lift to hostile intelligence agents. British Act In Shelling Of Hong Kong Ships Hong Kong. Aug. 11 (P) A Government spokesman said today British planes and warships will "pro-tpt and defend" foreien ships fired on by Chinese Communists holding islands on the soutnwesiern approaches to.

Hong Kong. Red troops on the Lema Islands, near the harbor entrance, have shelled three ships including the American Steel Rover since Sunday. All ships have been directed to rariirt ahead their estimated time of arrival at the Lema island group. The spokesman said tne tsruisn do not plan to set up a special patrol of the South China Sea en trances to Hong Kong. Department Store Cargo Is Of No Use In Korea At a South Korean Port, Aug.

11 () A shipment of ladies' lingerie, hosiery, babies' bottles, bottle warmers and expensive luggage arrived at a South Korean port recently. "I took one look at the manifest and told them not even to bother unloading it from the ship," said Major Charles VVhitcomb, Sacramento, Army central exchange officer for Korea. He didn't know how the shipment happened to reach the war front. 8th Army Communique i SECRET LISTS Says'Flash' Report Given To Congress Had Not Been Confirmed Washington, Aug. 11 (JT) The Army explained tonight why it 'fr-crctly gave Congress Korean war-casualty figures which were larger than those made public at the same time.

"It said the information given to Congress was a "flash" report which included unconfirmed as well "confirmed casualties. It said such flash reports are not given to the public because the Army wants to avoid causing unnecessary anxiety among soldiers' relatives and to prevent the enemy from obtaining information of value. The Army declared it would con tinue to furnish names of casualties to the public as soon as they are confirmed and next of kin are notified. Verbal Denial Made Tonight's statement was issued, the Army said, because "there has heen much discussion about casualties in Korea." Senator Bridges N.II.) in a speech in his home state earlier this week declared that casualties "are being concealed" and the nation would be shocked when "the whole truth' about losses became known. Earlier, Drew Pearson, columnist, had charged that the military was not issuing correct casualty figures.

An army spokesman at a Penta--gon briefing in which war developments are discussed with reporters, denied charges that the Army was concealing casualty totals. Highly Classified Data This verbal denial was followed up tonight with the written statement, explaining in detail the system of compiling casualty lists and describing the time lag between casualities on the field and publica tion of the report. Part of the statement said: "Representatives of the Department of the Army are necessarily frequently before congressional committees in executive sessions and at those sessions such representatives must give out and continue to give out data of a highly classified nature pertinent io the subject under consideration "in order that Congress may have "the best and latest evidence avail-fcle for making its vital decisions. "Such classified information was piven out before one of the appropriations committees regarding Korean casualties. At that time un-confirmed flash figures were used 'as distinguished from confirmed figures which, as pointed out, take 'considerable time to collect.

Policy To Continue The unconfirmed figures, because rf the time-interval, factor, were larger than the confirmed published names as of the date of the hearings before the appropriations Necessarily this will always be the case. "The Army will continue its policy of furnishing to the public as promptly as available the names -of casualties when confirmed lists are received by the Department of the Army and the next of kin have been notified. "Nothing so far has been hidden from the public and nothing will be hidden from the public in this regard. Of Value To Enemy "Current flash casualty reports are not released for two reasons: 1 because, being incomplete and they might needlessly cause great anxiety to the next of kin who always are of first concern to the Army, and (2) because this -information, even in its unverified form, is of great value to the enemy." The statement did not specify which appropriations committee. House or Senate, was given the report nor disclose what the casualty figures were.

Senator Bridges is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. On August 7, following publication of the columnist's charge, the Army issued to the press a casualty list based on notifications made and released for publication through August 6. That list totaled 2.616. Of those, 153 were killed, 1.590 were wounded and 873 were missine. Seoul Expected To Be Red Capital Tokyo.

Saturday, Aug. 12 (JP) Cen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters today noted reports that the North Korean Communists plan to move -their capital from Pyongyang to captured Seoul on August 15. "The release said the Red aim to demonstrate "to the world unity of North and South Ko- trea ana io jusuiy meir iioera- tion policies." Seoul, traditional capital of Ko Tea, was headquarters for the 'United States occupation of South Korea after World War II. Pyong i-antf wae li aHnnartprc nr th occupation of North Korea Korean communists set up a Soviet-style government in the northern half of the country in 1943 and said then they planned to move their capital some day to Seoul.

1 The South Koreans inaugurated 'the Republic of Korea at Seoul, Au gust 15, 1943. North Korean troops occupied last June 29, four days after they invaded the republic. August 15 was selected as the date of the inauguration of the Re public of Korea because it is the anniversary of the Japanese decl- sion 4 surrender to the Allies at the end of World War II a decision made August 15, 1945. To 'Koreans, it meant liberation from 40 years of Japanese rule. i ne rottn Korean Keds may hne selected the date for moving meir capital lor the same reason Army Calls 9A44 Of ficers, Reds Seize Port, Make 2 New Naktong River Crossings (Continued from Page 1) teen heavy Red field guns apparently survived a night attack by American planes.

Just to the north, about 300Reds made a new crossing of the river west of Taegu this morning and ran Into hand-to-hand combat with men of the United States 1st Cavalry Division. Red tanks and artillery on the west bank pounded American positions. Farther north around Waegwan, 12 miles northwest of Taegu, the Communist buildup continued west of the Naktong. In the heaviest concentration anywhere along the line, they had four possibly five divisions. Gen.

Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said. A report not fully confirmed said the Reds had massed 30 tanks in the Waeg-wan area. North of Waegwan, the Reds launched their drive the 1st South Korean Division. Ten tanks supported the push. 8th Army headquarters reports said the South Koreans had knocked out five tanks.

A South Korean commander said the Reds were getting tanks across on a rock and gravel causeway submerged in shallow water. 50,000 Troops Ready In all, the Communists appeared to have about 50,000 troops ready or almost ready for an all-out smash over the Naktong toward Taegu. American reinforcements moved into the river line last night. Northern Front South Korean troops repulsed Red attacks in the mountains about 30 miles north of Taegu on the western side of the northern line. On the eastern side, Red troops pushed southward from captured Yongdok, 90 air miles north of Pusan, toward Pohang against strong South Korean resistance.

South Korean reinforcements for the Pohang battle were placed northwest of the town to block a major Red thrust expected along the 23-mile stretch from Yongdok. South Koreans Move Up The fresh South Koreans moved up from the south to meet the main Red force, estimated at two regiments. They traveled north ward by road, skirting Pohang itfeelf. Red guerrillas were only a mile and a half from the Pohang air field last night. Red artillery was reported within range.

The field is 6 miles southeast of Pohang. United States Mustangs helped fight for Pohang and the airstrip. Enemy fire got so close to the field by dark, however, that the fighters flew to safety elsewhere for the night. This morning, however, they were operating regularly again. the tth Army said Pohang was left in flames as United States troops withdrew after close-quarter lighting during the night.

The attacks on Pohang began yesterday. The Communists, carry ing nand weapons, moved across mountain trails on the 2d Army Area To.Soml 1,600 Reserve Officers The 2d Army area, which Includes Maryland and six othei states, will provide 1.600 of the 9,444 reserve officers being ordered to active duty from all sections of the nation.

'i that when the North Koreans ran into our jet planes they promptly grounded their inferior propeller planes, instead of accepting extermination, does not prove them incompetent so much as it proves them intelligent. Pilots May Be Training It certainly Is supposable that the pilots of those grounded propeller planes are spending their time profitably in learning how to fly jet planes.

Also that, from the source which provided the North Korean Communists with modern Russian tanks and effective artillery and ammunition and both strategic and tactical planning, the enemy now is obtaining jet planes of an equally modern type. The airfields which the enemy lately captured from us -(Seoul, Suwon. etc.) would provide him with bases nearer to the battlefield than are our own jet bases in Japan. If this is thought of as a possibility, it becomes much clearer that we may nee.d a bridgehead quite as large as the one to which we are being reduced, partly in order to provide dispersion of our defense installations, partly in order to provide a maximum number of airstrips. In this fact alone there is reason enough for the determined effort which the Far East Command is making to keep the bridgehead from any further shrinking.

The vigorous counterattack lately made around Chinju has done a good deal to seal that side more firmly. But the enemy's persistent pressure at half a dozen other points on the perimeter, his bold and successful thrust straight at Pohang, and the savagery with which his guerrillas have worked behind our lines, tell us how vulnerable our bridgehead still is, and how unremitting must be our vigilance at every point. 50.000 Reserves from Page 1) ical, dental, veterinary or medical service listings who are taking postgraduate courses in their work or allied sciences. The deferment will last until they complete the current academic year. 4.

Reserve medical, dental, veterinary and medical service officers whose activity In teaching, research and the like are necessary to the national interest. Expects Filled Quotas By Sept. 10 In addition, the Army said that commanders have been told to obtain co-operation and aid of state and local medical, dental and veterinary societies. Presumably, the purpose of this is to help carry out the directions outlined in the order. The Army expects to have the quotas for the medical men filled by September 10.

"Medical, dental and veterinary officers assigned to reserve units which have not been alerted will not be delayed from this call solely by reason of such assignments," the announcement explained. "Selection to fill quotas will be made, whenever feasible, from among offi cers of the reserve corps with no previous active military service, followed by officers with less than one year of extended active duty, and so on. The Air Force announced the grounds on which reserve officers and airmen called to active duty may apply for delay. Those Eligible For Delay It also announced that, as an initial step toward adjusting the rank of officers already on active duty to those of officers being recalled, 5,000 will be considered for temporary promotion to the grades of captain and first lieutenant. The Air Force said that reserve personnel eligible for recall delay included: 1.

Persons enrolled in educational institutions. 2. Those engaged in research and scientific activities. 3. Students of professional graduate courses in dental, veterinary or medical colleges, or performing the first year of medical internship.

4. Individuals in certain essential activities. 5. Hardship and dependency cases meeting Air Force standards. 6.

Key managerial personnel whose call to active duty would cause material loss in production, services, or research necessary to the national interest. Reservists who are called to ac tive duty and who "feel it essential" that the call be temporarily de layed were advised to ask their Air Force issuing their recall orders for delay. Tokyo, Saturday, Aug. 12 JP) today by United States 8th Army The 35th Regiment is in possession of high ground east of Chinju, with the 5th Regiment coming up abreast to the south. The Marine regiment has elements 4 miles west of Kosong.

All units are receiving small arms and mortar fire. though most effective enemy re sistance is still in the rear. Yesterday United States units attacked enemy troops south of Changnyong outside the bridgehead. Progress in area is greatly hindered by a tremendous concentration of refugees at the Naktong River Valley. There is now an estimated force of two enemy regiments in the bridgehead.

An attempted crossing by enemy forces in the 21st regiment sector was repulsed. Crossing by North Korean forces North Koreans Provide No Aiil or Wounded Somewhere in South Korea, Aug. 11 (JP) A captured Korean Red told interrogators today the North Korean Army gives no organized medical care to its wounded The prisoner said he had seen no ambulances, doctors or nurses with the Red troops. He said wounded were left behind when North Koreans advanced. And when the front was static, he said, wounded Communists got only limited first aid from fellow soldiers.

Lieut. Col. Frank White, Canadian United Nations observer from Montreal, flew over Communist lines to a depth of 30 miles for five hours, checking on the prisoner's statement. He reported he saw no North Korean ambulances or other medical-aid facilities, and concluded the prisoner's statement was true. See history in the making at the afternoon U.1I.

Priority Rankings The Army said that these cap tains and lieutenants will include both active and inactive members of the organized reserve corps. The active members are those active in training programs. The Army announced that mili tary units whose destination is the Far East have priority in the assignment of the reserve officers involuntarily called to duty. An official gave additional prior ity rankings as follows: I. Newly activated posts and stations.

2. Training divisions. 3. General reserve units as they are built up with some of the enlisted reservists previously called up. The Army's action obviously re sulted from lack of enough re sponse to its appeal for volunteers from its reservoir of specialists.

Sharp Complaints In Congress In Congress, sharp complaints have been made that not enough of the medical men trained at Government expense during the last war have joined up. The Army's announcement em phasized that it "will continue to make every effort to secure officers on a voluntary basis." Indicating that the Pentagon ts seeking to maintain a balance between military and civilian needs, the announcement said that the quotas for medicos are distributed among the six army areas over the nation in a fair and equitable manner. The total number," the Army said, "is consistent with the national security." The department further set up five categories from which the medical, dental, veterinary and medical service men will not be drawn unless otherwise directed. Five Categories One group includes such officers residing in communities where public health would be "unduly jeopardized by their being or dered to extended active duty. The other four categories: 1.
