Some board stock went un as

TOKYO, Thursday, Aug. 10-n
American infantrymen stabbed
within five miles of Chinju today.
General MacArthur's headquarters
said the, Korean communist re
treat before the US. offensive in
the south is "in the nature of a
rout."
The hard-punched Reds were
reported ready to abandon their
southern anchor city. Intelligence
reports to MacArthur's headquar-
ters said the communists were
falling back too fast to get Into
prepared positions to battle the
American onslaught.
Reports to UJS. 8th army head
quarters said doughboys of the
5th regimental combat team' and
the 25th infantry division's 35th
regiment joined on high ground
that leads to within two miles of
the burned-out city. The Reda
had hoped to drive from there
eastward 55 air miles to Pusan.
Smash Bridgehead
To the north, the army's first
cavalry and 24th divisions also
were attacking, smashing bridge
heads the Reds had put across the
Naktong river before the key com
munications hub of Taegu.
Near Changnyong, 23 air miles
southwest of Taegu, the Reds were
retreating across the river and
"pulling back their front line," an
8th army communique said. The
Thursday noon communique said
the Reds had been chased Wed
nesday from the last high ground
they held east of the river.
The 1st cavalry launched an at
tack Thursday morning to clean up
the communist bridgehead around
Waegwan, 12 miles northwest of
Taegu. The communique said the
Reds had been surrounded.
Navy Pounds Reds
Only on the east coast of the
U.N. beachhead was the turn of
battle going against the defenders.
The North Koreans, recaptured
Yongdok from the South Koreans
and shoved almost one mile south
of the shell-smashed town.
The Reds crashed into Yongdok
despite a heavy pounding of their
positions and road junctions north
of the town by U.S. warships Wed
nesday. The linking of patrols from the
5th and 35th infantry east of Chin
ju was made against light com
munist opposition, said reports to
