Agree on emergency arms Bill Washington a Opit Senate House conferees agreed saturday on an emergency defense Bill carrying an estimated $17,000,000,000 Rescue ships searched Stormy a big question in the War now will korean reds hold or fold by Hal Boyle Taegu Korea a a a a the great question remaining in the korean War today is whether the red Battle line can be played now1 like an accordion. Will the North koreans fold or hold the tremendous amphibious invasion by the United nations behind enemy lines at Inchon key port of Seoul has changed the entire complexion of the War. The sickening Monotony of steady infiltrations into the Allied rear portions has been dramatically reversed. For the first time since they rolled South of the 38th parallel on june 25, the communists themselves were attacked from the rear. The Landing at Inchon is one of those massive calculated military gambles which May quickly Speed the War to its conclusion or provoke a Long wintry stalemate. In some respects. General Macarthur has Tak Boyle in a very great risk in his wide sweep around left end. A look at the map will show Why. Korea i it mountainous and offers advantages to the defense rather than the Ottense. Note that it is Well above 200 Road Miles from Taegu to Inchon. There Are great numbers of North korean troops to be destroyed or captured if the Caps Between Taegu and Inchon Are to be closed in time. Only the grinding Battle ahead can Tell whether the reds have Only a Strong crust along the Battlefront in the South or whether they have a deep and elastic defense system that can absorb repeated heavy blows. Obviously the United nations High command feels at once any communist defense line is hit it can be folded up like an accordion or rolled up like a carpet. Otherwise it is doubtful if the decision would have been made at this time to hit so far in the enemy s rear. The Landing also shows the allies now Are confident they have massed the Power to do a knockout Job. Inchon koreans Happy but Don t look it by Belman Morin Inchon Korea a Ltd a the port City of Inchon is another Che rough sunday blackened and badly torn by the Brief but Sharp fighting that took place when the marines swept through i it Friday night. Nevertheless a High ranking South korean Navy officer said i a the people Are rear adm. Sohn Wun la chief of naval operations said inhabitants were glad the common i its were driven c it. He is commanding South korean marines who Are policing the City and still Flushing out snipers and rounding up red stragglers. His command Post is a battered Shack near the waterfront. On either Side and stretching As far As i could see w Ere piles of debris burned out buildings and Shell torn docks. The Admiral said a the enemy is different now. They Are not fighting they fire a few times then run away. He said he did not believe the North koreans have any organized army units this far North. The people certainly do not look Happy. If they Are glad the War has finally passed them by. They do not show it. Perhaps that is just Oriental impassive Ness. Today they were going about the sad business of trying to live in the midst of great devastation to Bury their dead get a bowl of Rice to eat. People just stare All those things were taking place in Inchon today. The people were not so much As glancing at the marines and sailors pouring through or the masses of equipment and strange looking machines coming ashore. You saw two men Wheeling after weeks of bitter disheartening news from the korean War front America and her in allies were Given something to cheer about during the past three Days in a major invasion of the West coast at Inchon and the launching of a pow Erful general offensive in the Long boxed defensive perimeter in the South. Allies the frightfully mangled body of a Young girl through the streets to some lonely burial place. They had a kind of wheelbarrow. One was pushing the other held a rope and pulled. You saw a woman sitting on the Edge of a Stone pier As motionless As the stones themselves. She stared out across the Harbor. It Wras littered with Junks and half sunken Small Craft.

France to build up americans military machine and help Ann her allies. The conferees however left it tip to the House to decide separately on a Senate provision which would shut off u. S. Economic Aid to any nation that Sells arms or militarily useful goods to Russia or her satellites. The House members of the conference committee insisted on taking that feature of the Senate Bill Back to the House for a direct vote probably next wednesday. Tote conferees ironed out differences Between a $17,192,000.-000 Senate Bill and a $16,771,000.-000 House measure. The committee agreed to Cut the Senate total by about $120,000,000, but none of the reductions touched the strictly defense features of the legislation. Thus the Compromise measure still carries $11,736,000,000 to expand this country a military program and $4,000,000,000 to help Arm Friendly nations against communist aggression. The Bill in final form includes $3,166,403,000 for the army As compared with $3,148,499,000 in the Hoase measure $3,734,291,000 for the Navy As compared with $3,684,007,000 and $4,560,000,000 for the air Force As compared with $4,535,400,000 both measures provide for 5.333 new War planes.
