X*JESDAY, APRIL 17, 1951 UN Moves Forward; Cenorship Ordered ' * TOKYO, Tuesday, April 17—-OP)■ —The United Nations drive irito North Korea stalked forward Monday on the heels of.bitterly resist ing Communist rear guards. One major Red buildup area was wiped out; . • > Rigid new censorship regulations ordered by the new Supreme Allied Commander, Lt. Gen. Matthew-B. Ridgway, forbade all ref erences to the size and location of Chinese and North Korean Reds. The Reds, however, continued their slow retreat. For the third straight day the Communists burned smudge pots and set for ests ablaze to screen their posi tions from devastating Allied air and artillerv' attacks. It was the same device the Chinese used last November to hide their d before pl'Mrmrng into United Nations forces in northwest Korea.. : Lost Key Towns Chinese and North Koreans lost two’ key towns and some val uable real estate on the east cen tral front in a two-day fight end ing Monday. ; ' Yanggu. six miles north of the 3th parallel and at the eastern tip of the strategic Hwachon res ervoir, fell first to Allied tanks and infantry. Then Red ‘ units yielded Yachon. on, a parallel road three miles northeast of bat tered Yanggu. The capture of Yanggu elimi nated the last Communist packet on the south shares of the Hwa chon reservoir. It ripped up. the eastern -anchor • point for Red lines which had used the 11-mile long lake as a formidable water obstacle against the Allies. Yanggu was the key to a maior Communist buildup area in this sector wKjch now was eliminated. South Koreans Eleven mil e s southeast of Yanggu, South Korean troops drove North Korean troops out of ridges above captured Inje. The heights dominated an im portant road, running eastward to the coast. The Communists, however, clung desperately to the 275 foot high Hwachon. dam. on the. west ern end of the reservoir. They fought bitterly against Allied pa trols probing toward the town of -Hwachon itself. On the western front the Al lied offensive crept forward slowly against Reds stubbornly defending the approaches to Chorwon, a five-point road hub 17 miles north of 33. ; The Reds abandoned a large supply dump east of Yonchon in what looked like a general with drawal in. that' sector.

Please consider us’ing it,” Gore said in a letter to the President. As a member of the House Appropriations sub committee which handles funds fpr the Atomic Energy commis sion, he is in a position to know about Atomic Energy Declines Comment The AEC declined to comment bn Gore’s suggestion. So did the White House.arid Pentagon offi cials. Radioactive poisons are. chemi cals which give bff dangerous atomic-energy rays, like those riven off, in the explosion of an atomic bomb. But; theoretically at least, such materials could pro vide a weapon distinct from an atomic bomb. The objective would be to .pread them in the form of dusts ar sprays, contaminating an area with radioactivity without using an A-bomb, and without causing '.he physical doctr”"tion. to ter ' and buildings caused by ar. A-bomb explosion. Radioactive Wastes The objective would be to .deny an enemy use of a certain area— .at least for any extended time. The poison materials can be made as by-products of the pro cess for producing materials for use in A-bombs. Some such ma terials are known to exist in crude form as radioactive wastes ar “garbage” from the. big plu tonium plant'at Hanford, Wash. In his letter to Truman, Repre sentative Gore indicated he be lieved spreading radioactive ma terials over a Korean area—rind repeating the contamination per iodically— would make it unfit for all life and thus' a barrier to air military ground operations.
