PAGE TWO PRESSURE IS RISING EACH HOUR (Continued from Page 1} 20,000 Reds In Attack On ‘the central sector of the 45- mile northern front, elements of the 20,000 Reds on the attack in the Uihong area rolled back South Kor- ean Sixth Division troops four miles to a point 18 miles north of Taegu, the main Allied forward base. Indications pointed to an im- minent grand-scale Red offensive at all points around the 120-mile de- fense perimeter, with possibly the entire North Korean Army com- mitted at the same time, in a sup- reme bid to crash through to Pusan, | the Allied supply base at the south- east tip of Korea, It seemed likely the Communists now were under or- ders to strike for Pusan at all costs. Thrust Is Removed However, a spokesman for Gen. MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo said the Reds had lost the chance to make a quick march on Pusan. He said Allied ability to move rein- forcements quickly to any threat- ened point in the UN beachhead-in- depth on Korea, removed chances for success for such a quick thrust. The new Red roadblock near Po- hang, however, posed a serious threat.

British Troops ashore British troops, vanguard of more United Nations ground forces yet to come, stepped ashore in South Korea, about 1,500 strong, to fight beside the Americans and South Koreans. To the wail of bagpipes, English soldiers and Scottish “Lad- ies from Hell” disembarked with some of their own battle equipment. A Scottish officer said they were “ready to go.” In the British force are units of the famed Argyll and Sutherland and the Middlesex re- giments, especially trained for this type of war which is raging in Korea. Along the blazing 45-mile north- ern front, the Reds have committed 40,000 troops in the twin attempts to take Pohang, No. 2 East Coast Allied port, and envelop Taegu, for- ward UN base. So. Koreans Pushed Back North of Taegu, hub of the central front, Red forces shoved back South Koreans four miles in an advance in the Uihong sector, driving to within 18 miles of Taegu. It was to this area that the Reds had shifted troops from the sector northwest of Taegu, to try a new avenue for an attempted breaktarough. An Allied intelligence officer said it was in this sector that the giant Communist offensive might begin to develop. The focus of the offensive may be determined as soan as the elite second North Korean Division, now refitting in the rear, is returned to the line. There are signs of Red reinforcements in the rear of this sector. Two Red divisions, the 13th and 15th, are not far away and could be brought into action quickly in the event of a breakthrough. Allied Air Attacks The Allied air attacks continued around the front. Air and ground | reports for Tuesday lsted four Red tanks destroyed, two ammunition dumps exploded, 28 vehicles of all types knocked out and between 12 and 15 artillery pieces put out of action. B-29s dropped 230 tons on enemy railyards at Chongjin, 60 miles south of Soviet Siberia. Light bomb- ers plastered Red supply lines. Red Ships Sunk U. 8. Navy guns plastered the North Korean positions aroung Po- hang. The South Korean Navy re- ported the destruction of two Red ships yesterday off the southwest coast.
