The Soviets raised half a doz critical questions in a vote released yesterday, one as to whether the United States and other nations might conclude a separate peace with Japan. Officials said that the Russians| will get an answer to all their ques- | tions, and indicated it probably will be made clear to the at a sep- | arate peace is a pos y if they are not willing to icipate. The ants an early Japanese peace t with Soviet participation if possible on a onable basis | but without it if necessary. | American off; are hopeful but | not too optimistic about the pros- pects of Morcow’s cooperation. { The fact that the Kremlin made | the American proposals- public, | when they were supposed, to be| tentative and confident and re-| n taken as a sign that more interested in propaganda than in private diplo- matic negotiation.

Dorder TASK FORCE TAKES CITY, NO FIGHTING Big Push Successful in One Area But Sharp Re- verse Elsewhere (By the Associated Press) A tank-led task force of the U.S. 24th Division captured the north- west Korean city of Chongju with- out a fight today and other units of the United Nations offensive in the northwest roiled ahead toward the Manchurian border. But the extreme right flank was pushed back by counterattacking Reds. After taking Chongju, communi- cations and highway center on the main road to the border city of Sinuiju, the 24th Division force moved on two miles, Gains during the second day of | the end-of-the-war offensive ranged up to six miles on a winding 80- mile front stretching inland from the Yellow Sea 40 to 60 miles south of the Yalu River boundary. There | was only one setback on the entire front as the war entered its sixth month. On the 24th Division’s right flank, the big push altered. A counterattacking Red regiment shoved the Republic of Korea (ROK) Eighth Division back six miles to a point near Yongun, 22 miles east of Tokchon. The South Koreans were heading for the Suiho Dam on the Yalu upstream from Sinuiju. The dam— fourth largest i the world-—sup- plies hydro-electric. power for most of Manchuria and North Korea. The greatest Red resistance is ex- pected in this sector. B-29 superfortresses and allied fighter planes increased their thunderous assault, while U. 8. Ma- rine and carrier-based planes sup- ported the ROK Capital Division and other U. N. forces in the north- east. Elements of the 24th Division, ad- vancing west of Pakchon, reported destroying a Stalin III tank, a Russian-built monster weighing nearly 60 tons. It was the largest tank yet seen in the war. Allied forces previously have encountered only the T-3¢ medium tank. In the north central sector, US. First Marine Division patrols reached the northeastern tip of the Changjin reservoir.
