Red Forces Start Korean Offensive
North Korean reds made a three mile dent in the United Nations front in east-central Korea, with 10 000 communists striking rugged mountains south of Pyongyang near the 38th parallel. U S Eighth Army said the attack is now contained as Allied forces counter attacked along a 150 mile front. General MacArthur reported red regiments seized high ground near Oron and threats southeast of Yongpo while massed Chinese and North Korean forces loomed farther back. U N warplanes attacked lines and supply routes from Manchuria as the front remained tense across Korea.
