Possibly the Russians will try to startle the world with some pro- posal for a truce in Korea. More likely they'll use the U. N. for more denunciation of the United States and fresh obstruction to peace. Secretary of State Acheson will appeal to the delegates to pressure the Communists into stopping the fighting. The Russians are sending their foreign minister, Andrei Vi- shinsky, to handle their interests. in the bitter struggle. Any hope of Korean peace any time soon centers in the U. N. now since the truce talks at Pan- munjom have broken down. Just as the talks were collapsing the Communists suddenly began their biggest offensive in 15 months. This may have been purely for military reasons, But it may have had a connection. Late in the summer a delega- Chinese Communists vis- discussions with ins. It isn’t hard to be- lieve they talked about the Korean shinsky is coming from Moscow, where the Russians are holding their first Communist Party Congress in 18 years. The Communists know that when they started the Korean shooting in 1950 they threw the Western coun- tries into closer alliance and set off a big arms program which otherwise might have been long delayed. It is to their interest to slow down the program, if they can’t wreck it. So no one was surprised when Stalin and his friends rep- resented themselves in Moscow as of peace. Vishinsky is the first important Russian, since the statements about peaceful intentions began emerging m Moscow Congress, to have an some demonstra- tion of the Russians have in mind. U.

MCARTHUR SEOUL, Korea — Chinese Reds regained three. small knobs on the north slope of bloody White Horse Mountain today but failed to budge determined South Korean | soldiers from the commanding crest. The “‘stay! fight!’’ troops of the | Republic of Korea 9th Division prepared bunkers and threw up entrenchments in confident antici- pation of renewed Chinese as- saults. A front-line officer said ROK positions were in _ better shape than they had been since the big battle started almost a week ago. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, com- mander of the U. S. Eighth Army, predicted the savage fighting for the vital high ground command- ing the sprawling Chorwon Valley may taper off. Van Fleet told AP correspondent Milo Farneti the Chorwon area has been a sensitive part of the front “but I con’t think it will be any longer.” South Koreans estimate the Reds have lost more than 10,000 killed or wounded. Elements of three Chinese divisions have been used Van Fleet praised the South Korean troops and said they had done ‘a beautiful job” against “about the best” Chinese army on the front, And he lauded Maj. Gen. Kim Chong Cho for “‘as fine a job as any divisional commander I have ever seen.” Van Fleet made his comments at a divisional com- mand outpost while touring the Western Front. The fighting on and around White Horse was still the main action along the 155-mile battle- front. To the east, a smaller but still bitter fight raged over possession of an outpost position. Chinese took the position in savage hand-to-hand battle last night. U.N. troops stormed back this morning. Details were sketchy and con- flicting but indicated the fighting was still going on at mid-day. Only patrol clashes were report- ed elsewhere. — The Chinese on White Horse braved the withering fire of an Allied artillery barrage in regain- ing part of the ground they lost earlier to the bayonets and hand grenades of the South Koreans, They launched three company- sized attacks about 3 p.m. and won the thre knobs in 30 minutes of fighting. The South Koreans withdrew and set up a defense line about 300 yards down the north slope from the crest. Fight- ing broke off about 4 p.m. Earlier in the day the South Koreans held grimly to the crest despite seven savage attacks by the frantic Chinese.
