Van Fleet Sees Red Lines Thinning On Korean Front
General James A. Van Fleet, commander of U S 8th Army in Korea, said Communists are thinning their lines due to pressure from frontline fighting, Allied bombardment, air support, and floods. He warned the enemy could still attack and noted the rain and floods burden the Reds while American air and artillery pressure pays off. He added the steel strike had not yet affected the theater. The general, whose pilot son is missing, stressed saving lives and a war fought with bullets rather than flesh as US troops push through the rain soaked front.
