Biggest Blow
Since 1951
SEOUL l The Chinese Com
munists drove up to 40,000 men
against Allied lines on the Korean
East Central Front Monday night
ln their biggest offensive since
1951, frontline officers reported
Tuesday.
The battle opened at 10 p.mi
"5 a.m. Monday, pat) northeast ol
Sniper - Ridge, north of Kumhwa
with ; tremendous t artillery bar-
"Triere Is hand to hand fighting
all along our lront," said a U S.
adviser o the South Korean divl
v sion most heavily engaged.
Earlier ,the .Eighth Army had
announced two Chinese divisions
' smashed against the east-central
lines, largely manned by Koreans.
: Details were lacking.
The Eighth Army said only that
"upwards of two divisions were
attacking between 8niper's Ridge
and the Pukhan River."
This placed the heavy new ac
Hon between Kumwha on the Cen
tral Front and Red-held Humsong
a distance of about 13 miles. ,
Another four Communist battal
ions were attacking near the Puk
han River itself.
It was not known immediately
whether the full front was in ac
tion. It Is nearly 20 miles from
Kumhwa ; to - the upper r. Pukhan,
scene of repeated heavy fighting
In recent weeks..
The Red attack was launched at
10:30 p.m. (5:30 a.m. Monday,
pst) and built up rapidly In slae.
Two full Chinese divisions total
nearly 20,000 men and the four ad
ditional battalions attacking near
the river would raise the number
to possibly 24,000 men
The front from Kumhwa runs
due Vast past Sniper Ridge and
then cuts sharply northeast to
' Kumsong where it drops south
eastmaking a big bulge or sa
lient in the Chinese lines. Most of
this area was won in Gen. James
A. Van Fleet's last big Korean of
fensive In the full of 1951.

and light bombers apparently de

during daylight Sunday and slam

Step-Up In Indochina War
Confronts Vestern Powers
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWEB
WASHINGTON ,( The Western
Powers were confronted touay with
the prospect of Intensified war In
Indochina as the conflict In Korea
slacks off toward a probable armi
stice. .
This fact stood out as foreign
ministers of the United States,
Britain and France neared conclu
sion of Washlnirton talks. Final
discussion and firm decisions, If
any, were still to be made on such
diverse issues as Soviet 'policy,
possible Big Three and Big Four
conferences and Far Eastern prob
lems. . . " .
The three were scheduled to re
sume full sessions this morning.
The closing meetings will be held
tomorrow. . More two-way talks
between the United Stales and
France and the United States and
Britain are also set for today and
tomorrow. ' i -
At one such meeting at the home
of Secretary of State Dulles yes
terday, French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault told Dulles there
has been a sharp .increase in the
amount of supplies being received
by Communist forces In Indochina
from Red China, beginning About
three months ago.
U. S. officials noted that this
timing roughly coincided with re
sumption of serious efforts for a
truce in Korea.
At the same time, Bidault laid
before Dulles, with obvious hope of
increased American assistance, a
plan just developed by the French
commander, Oen. Henri Navarre,
for going on the offensive against
the Communists In Indochina.
Dulles, . according to officials
present at the conference, ex
pressed great satisfaction at the
aggressive attitude displayed in the
Navarre plan. Informants had the
impression tnai u tne French carry
It out they may expect favorable
American consideration of requests
for more dollar aid.
Officials reported , that Bidault
did not link the stepup In the flow
of Communist supplies to the immi
nent possibility of peace In Korea.
But Dulles made two points about
the American attitude toward the
connection between Korea and
Indochina.
He reiterated a Joint American
French statement of last spring
asserting that if .the Reds look
advantage of a cease-fire In Korea
for aggressive action In Indochina,

sources, also calls for an additional

understood that much of this um
