Mass for New Drive In Center Tokyo May 2
Chinese Communist siege forces pulled back from Seoul on Tuesday and massed troops 50 miles east as a possible southern push through central Korea loomed. Allies reported the Reds probing toward the Chunchon Hongchon corridor under heavy air and artillery fire and cutting the Hwachon reservoir gates to lower river levels for a crossing. Front lines shifted south of Han and Pukhan rivers as the May Day assault on Seoul failed to materialize. Combat was light with only a few minor contacts as UN patrols advanced from Seoul toward Yoju, a key junction 38 miles southeast and 50 miles below the 38th parallel, potentially pressuring the capital’s rear.

General Warned Truman of Korea's Peril in '47
Lt. Albert C Wedemeyer warned President Truman in September 1947 that Korea faced a Soviet driven invasion from North Korea. The top secret report released by the Senate Armed Services Committee notes unrest in South Korea but says U S forces under General Hodge could cope with local issues and maintain order though unable to counter a Soviet invasion without MacArthur. Wedemeyer warned a U S withdrawal would threaten China Manchuria and Japan as Moscow influence grew. The document predates China falling to Communists and sets the context for MacArthur dismissal hearings.
