Battles and air raids in Korea and a wartime training push
Thursday reports say U S Marines and infantry backed by planes and tanks launched a bloody counter-offensive at Changnyong on the Naktong front. A massive D-Day scale aerial assault by 101 B 29s dropped 1000 tons on Red troops along the Naktong, with Pan Japan Okinawa aircraft aiding. Reds reportedly withdrew but soon returned to the area while Marines protested a retreat order. President Truman urged Congress to pass a universal military training law to draft 850000 annually, paying 30 dollars a month including 17 year olds.
