Allies Attack With Bayonets in Korea r # Compiled by A1 Karr ; From the Wires of the Associated Press Advancing Allied forces in Korea attacked with bayonets and grenades Wednesday after a thunderous artillery and air strike failed to smash unyielding Chinese Comnutnist resistance on the Korean warfront. T-his was seven miles Northeast of Suwon, on the east flank of the bloody Western front just south of Seoul. The battlefield stretched 40 slushy miles east from a point north of Suwon, strewn with an estimated 3,700 dead Reds. In Western Korea, stiffening enemy opposition held the Allies to minor gains. Allied planes sighted 15,000 to 20,000 Communist troops near Konjiam, a village nine miles northeast of Kumyangjang.

Edward J. Shaugnessy, district Director of Immigation, said that the authorities found considerable Communist literature, mostly in the form of Chinese pamphlets, in the office of the Association president.

Nosrollah Entezam of Iran, President.. ... of the United Nations Assembly, Wednesday called a special meet ing for this morning to ratify the Political Committee’s decision to label Communist China an aggressor in Korea. Approval of the American resolution was taken for granted in view of the overwhelming vote it received from the committee Tuesday night. Passage of the United States Resolution... . . .

A Change in United States Policy... . ■. . which would permit limited use of Chinese Nationalist resources against the Communists is looked for by informed administration offi cials. Serious consideration, it was learned, is being given to encouraging and assisting the operations of anti-Communist guerrillas on the Chinese mainland as one means of diverting Communist strength which might otherwise be employed against Korea or Indo-China. The Fast-spreading Strike of Switchmen... . . . crippled freight traffic at vital points on the nation’s rail network Wednesday.

Wilhoit Hollywood, Jan. 31 — (iP>— Bonzo, the chimpanzee smart enough to be a starring movie actor, double crossed his press agent by flunking an intellig ence test.

Bopzo is five years old. His trainer, Henry Craig, says he understands. Spady Receives Medical Grant Herbert A.
