War will The Worlds Fastest Washer Continued from Page 1 within sight of the city, where U. S. cavalrymen slugged it out in a daylong battle. The other drive was stopped by South Korean forces at Yongcbon. 20 miles east of the Taegu battlefront AP Correspondent Bern Price reported the Allies rolled back the Communist force that had smashed through South Korean lines and posed a sharp new threat to Taegu.

South Korean forces were pushing eastward from Yongcbon, a key highway junction 20 miles east of Taegu, which the North Koreans held briefly Wednesday. Elements of the U. S. 24th Division drove 3H miles north of Kyongju, another main highway point 18 miles southwest of Red-captured Pohang port on the Sea of Japan coast. Americans control the airfield six miles south of Pohang.

The gains were slow and bloody. THE U. S. EIGHTH ARMY in Korea reported that elements of the 25th Division in the southwest gave some ground at the outset of the push toward Pusan. But, the communiaue said, the Americans regained it in a fierce midday counter-attack.

In the southwestern fighting the 25th Division has inflicted more than 13.000 casualties on the Reds in seven days. Immediately north of that bitterly contested ground U. S. Marines and Second Division infantryman pushed back remmants of four Red divisions across the Naktong River west of Yongsan. Yongsan is 32 miles south of Taegu.

American officers estimated 7.300 Communists had been killed and wounded there in a week of fighting. U. S. casualties have been heavy along the 55-mile front in the southwest and west. Three Communist divisions are pounding toward Taegu from the east.

Two more Red divisions have been identified in the drive down! the Kumhwa I Jghway toward Taegu. THE NORTH KOREANS were reported massing fresh strength opposite the gash they have cut in Allied lines southwest of lost Pohang Port, second most important on the Korean southeast coast. Correspondent Price reported from the field that lines of oxcarts and men were moving toward the battle zone through mountain passes to the north. A SOUTH KOREAN spokesman announced in Tokyo that South Korean navy units made a surprise landing Wednesday at the start of a very important naval operation. He said the landings were made on an island off Kunsan on the west coast of Korea and on another off Mokpo in the southwest.

The naval units were still fighting for the islands. The spokesman said the operations are "preliminary to areally powerful naval action." ROARING BACK on the tail of disappearing typhoon rains. Allied airmen hit combat zones with 360 attacks during their record flight day Wednesday. Half these support assaults were iwest and south of Pohang where the Red break through was attributed to the lack of air support for defensive forces. In addition to claiming 41 tanks hit Thursday, the airmen reported damaging 24 enemy gun emplacements and 15 fuel and supply dumps.

B-29 bombers again hit Communist railroad yards near Pyong-jyang. the North Korean capital, and damaged seven bridges. Truman believes U. N. forces will come back WASHINGTON, Sept 7 President Truman expressed belief i today that United Nations force in Korea will make up for temporary setbacks before the week Is over.

He told a news conference that there had been no material change In the main front line in Korea. A REPORTER, mtndful of re-rts of setbacks at the front asked im since when. Since the last 10 days, Mr. Truman replied.

THEY WOULD LIKE to believe they could quit being a fire department tomorrow, organize as a police force, destroy or capture the invaders and retire to the ordinary civil strife of life at home before the rice paddies here freeze over.

But there has been no faltering of the enemy to console those who feel this will be merely a war for the sunshine soldier and the Summer patriot ag Re On both sides it is growing in depth and bitterness. It may have a Wintry decision or as some veteran combat officers fear the final outcome may be postponed until Spring or even next Summer. As is usual in such situations the experienced frontline commanders are more pessimistic about how long it will take because they know what they are up against now. They know also the time it takes even for an industrial giant like America to gear up its factories, flush out its armies and ferry men, weapons and food 7,000 miles to the battle-front BEFORE I LEFT the United States a retired staff officer told me it would take eight American or European divisions of full World War Tvo combat strength, plus all the South Koreans available, to launch a victory offensive here. He said anything short of such a ground force would meet a long stalemate or possibly even be pushed back into the sea.

That was nine weeks ago. Recently a high ranking officer here echoed the same thought, Even after we get eight divisions of the type we had in the last war supported by corps artillery we cant be sure bow long it will take to end this business, he said frankly. If the enemy only has a crust in front of us. we can crack through and wind the whole thing up in a few days or weeks. But if the enemy can defend in depth and keep bringing up fresh troops and tanks, well it could go on for another six months.
