The Worth Koreans had driven into the binge of the foot cavalry and 25th division positions. Whitehead reported from an ad vance command post that elements of the two ' American divisions cleaned out the red infantry in the gap and straightened the allied de fenses to the original line. After that the front there set tled down , to relative quiet Fri day. t-' -i Promise of Air Support Skier cleared at dawn Saturday, promising heavier U. S. air sup port.

"And he must have a decision quickly." The next lew days axe "ex tremely important' for the com munists, he said, surmising that they would be unable to carry on after their supreme expenditure of manpower and material in the bold gamble against time and the arrival of reinforcements for Unit ed Nations forces still clinging to about 10,000 square miles of South Korea.
