Renew Red Attacks In North Korea See Ground Won Back
North Korean battalions smashed into United Nations lines forcing the South Korea Eighth division back four miles near Tokchon on the western front. By noon the ROK troops had withdrawn to the Taedong river south bank as UN forces counterattacked to close gaps. Across the northeastern front six tank led attack battalions created five holes through the ROK Capital division but ground was not given up overall. American patrols probed Yongbyon and Pakchon defenses while British Commonwealth forces found abandoned positions. U.S. officers said Chinese troops use north Koreans as a screen while they build stronger rear defenses, with plans to reorganize remnants into effective units.

Food Prices Double the Averages for 1935-39
Washington, Nov. 35. UP The government reported today that retail food prices dropped about 0.4 percent during the last two weeks October. Lower prices for fresh fruits and vegetables were mainly responsible for the decline, but small drops were reported in prices of meats, poultry, coffee and sugar. Higher prices were reported for eggs, dairy products, fish, canned and dried fruits and vegetables. Prices were lower for 21 foods, higher for 21, and no change was reported for eight others covered in a bureau of labor statistics survey. On the basis of a special survey of 50 food items in eight cities, the bureau estimated that on October 30 food prices stood at 208.1 per cent of the 1935-39 average, or more than double. That would be a rise of about 16 per cent since June 15, before the Korean fighting began.
