from points north of liberated
Septl. in western Korea to Kang

mile-wide sector south of Chun
chon in Central Korea.
Eight Miles From Parallel
Chunchon, eight air miles south
of parallel 38, is 15 miles north
west of captured Hongchon. That
area is 45 to 50 miles northeast
of Seoul. U.S. Marines seized
Hongchon Thursday after Ameri
can First Cavalry troops had out
flanked the former Red bastion
on the west.
The Reds threw their heaviest
artillery fire of the - war at Allied
forces advancing north of Hong
chon toward Chungchon. Allied
artillery thundered back with 50
shells for one. Fighter planes
raked the Red-held ridges with
fire bombs.
Censorship
The American ground troops
then continued their advance, but
distances, locations and identity
of the troops were withheld by,
censorship. •

not be er_ough to crumble the
defenses that we and our allies
will have erected."

mor e divisions of American
ground troops to Europe to re
inforce Gen.' Dwight D. Eisen

for seeking a "separate" peace.
That appeared to end any idea
that Russia would have any part
of the treaty, especially when
Dulles responded with a denun
ciation of communist aims in Asia.
Acheson told his news confer
ence that while Malik's action was
very disappointing. He hoped it
would riot continue to be the atti
tude of the Soviet government.
He reported that Dulles, as Pres
ident Truman's special represen
tative in the treaty preparations,
is now trying to put together an
actual text. And the secretary
added there is no reason why this
text should be found objection
able by the Soviet or any other
government.
With this renewed bid for So
viet cooperation Acheson coupled
an endorsement of the attack on
Moscow's motives which Dulles
made in an address at Philadel
phia this week. The secretary
termed entirely sound an obser
vation by Dulles that "the despots
would murder peace."
Acheson told reporters alsO he
hoped very much that Britain
and Iran can work out a solution
of their difficulties over Iranian
oil which would benefit both and
keep the flow of oil to those mar
kets to which it has gone in the
past. This would avoid any diver
sion to Russia,, a threatened result
of the Iranian Parliament this
week to nationalize the rich hold
ings of the Anglo-Iranian Oil com
pany.
