WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1951 Allies Rush To Menacing Red TOKYO, Wednesday, May 23 —(lP) Allied reinforcements rushed into the rugged mountain areas of eastern Korea Tuesday to head off a menacing new thrust.by Chinese and North Korean Com munists trying to slip around the United Nations line. Two other attempts by .Ch through U.S. Second Division pos Seoul were bloodily repulsed. B-29 Superforts bombing within 300-yards of American foxhole positions and devastating artil lery fire wiped out at least 1000 attacking Reds. This was about 17 air miles northwest of the scene of the Reds' end-run at tempt near Soksa. With the failure of these jabs at the second division, the main body of Chinese broke contact for the time being and pulled back out of range of the deadly American artillery. Associated Press correspondent William C. Barnard, however, warned that an estimated 130,000 Communists were being grouped for new strikes along the critical east-central front. They were as sembling from Chunchon, 45 miles northeast of Seoul, east ward to Inje, where one week ago the Reds hurled their heavi est concentrated attack of the war.

Omar Bradley warned Senators today the inquiry into Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ouster may incite Russia to war but he also hinted peace may come to Korea if the Allies smash the big Red offensive now underway. The five-star General conceded the possibility the war might just peter out without a negotiated peace or that the Chinese might' agree to peace terms with or without Russia's approval. Bradley gave these mixed views to the Senate armed, ser vices and foreign relations com mittees on the 15th day of hear ings into the reasons behind the dismissal of General MacArthur. Bradley said of the inquiry: "I think it is very harmful to our country and to our future secur ity to have to pass on to Russia all of our intentions, all of our thoughts, all• of our capabilities." Bradley declared the present UN objective is not to drive the Chinese and North Korean Red armies "clear out of North Ko rea" although the long range po litical aim still is a free and uni fied Korea.
