Reds Fight Massive Frontline Clash Near Seoul
AP dispatches describe a brutal UN and Allied counteroffensive in the central front near the Imjin river with tanks and infantry driving back Chinese forces.

The battle continued through the day with heavy fighting and shifting lines as commanders claimed superiority in firepower despite numeric inferiority.
