The North Koraens, in their initial of- ‘fensive, swept down to the Pusan beachhead, but were la- ter thrown back in the spectacular offensive that included the daring amphibious landing at Inchon. The Chinese Communists entered the war in late No- vember and, in their first offensive, pushed down to the Thirty-Eighth Pérallel, recapturing nearly 30,000 square miles of territory, which had been occupied by the United ations for¢es in their gradual advance to the Yalu River. _ The second offensive of the Chinese, which took place “in “January, resulted in a gain of about 8,000:square miles. ‘This put them well below the Thirty-Eighth Parallel and south: of Seoul, the South Kotean capital, alt was about ihjs time that there was talk of a possible forced evacua- tion of South Korea, but, after some study,. our military leaders concluded that our forces could hold 6n and avoid any compulsory evacuation by sea. : The third “Chinese offensive, which began in April, took place after General Matthew B. Ridgway had taken command of the United Nations forces and devised an effeetive strategy. Between the January and April offen- sive, probing operations reclaimed much of the ground gained by the Chinege in their January.op ation, Con- sequently, when the third Chinése offensive o¢ ried, with | a gain of nearly 3, 000 square miles, all of the area ‘recaps, tured represented territory that had been reclaimed by the Allied forces. .--The latest Chinese effort, which occurred in May, All of the territory gained had been earlier captured in the January offensive and the end of the effort left the Chinese below the Thirty-Eighth Parallel across the front. Since that time, the United Nations forces have push- “ed forward to wipe out most of the ground gained and to infliet additional losses upen the Chinese. It should not be overlooked that the Chinese, in each of the four offensives, have proclaimed their aim to de- stroy “the imperialist” forces 4nd hurl the remnant of the U.N. army into the gea. Each time they have failed,of their objective and each succeeding assault has gained less | ground at the cost of heavier casualties. é This satisfactory result is explained princi ily by the | preponderant fire power of Allied armies despite the. Chi- nese superiority in ground forces of.at least §wo and a half In addition, the Chinese have foundtit. difficult to supply their armies. Practically everything had to come down ceastal roads and railways and, for more than 250 these communication lines were at the mercy of Allied bombers. At some points, they could be brought | under naval gunfire. | ‘} General Ridgway, taking note of the Chinese attack shoe devised a strategy that has worked successfully. In ach of the Chinese attacks they have made an initial as- soul against South Korean div with the idea of breaking through and then, by turning the flanks, trap | the Allied forces in deep pockets. To counter this, Gen- eral Ridgway ordered his troops to fall back, when at- | tacked, with the object of saving artillery fire. Besides, he maintained reserves behind the front to plug up any | hole. | Following each attack, when the enemy lost his for- | ward momentum, the Allied army has moved over to the | offensive. Tank spearheads pushéed® forward and ground troops pressed the retreating Chinese. These tactics have } been followed as long as contact could be maintained with the retreating engmy but, once this was broken, General Ridgway has persistently used tank patrols He | probe the enemy positions. His design is to keep enemy troops off balance and, by continuous pressure, force the | Chinese to attack in an effort to save vital supplies or to | prevent the dislocation of their offensvie schedule. t6 one. miles, ions, Free enterprise should object to governmental sub- Capital, in the form of cash, in this day of income taxation, is not as easy to acquire as it used to be. | medicine. | Milton Evans, Olivia street |recently graduated as a construc- | hammer and tongs. | tered | Address of Newspaper | much self-reliance, with }dious nature; | vision will see things hidden from }the ordinary “This: Rock Of Ours’ By BILL GIBB “This Rook” has had occasion to | | speak severpl times about many | of our fine,» loyal, Key.

How many years-ago was it when kings and emperors reigned; when sup- erstitign prevailed amongst the peasants and’ surfs, when a man’s title indicated his nearness to God, and @ man’s wealth determined his rights over common man?
