Enemy Roars Over Yank River Lines
North Korean troops pushed across the Nak tong river barrier in Korea and extended about two miles eastward on a 2,000 yard front. MacArthur cautioned the threat from bridgeheads had not changed. Reports placed up to 9,000 Reds across two crossings as U S forces engaged in a southward offensive near Chinju and Taegu. Three major battles raged northwest of Taegu, in the south, and near Changnyang with U S troops tasked to destroy river-crossers by nightfall. American naval firepower intensified with a northern thrust to Tandhsit island 125 miles north of the 38th parallel.
