Bradley Says UN Forces Can Handle Korea War Alone
Gen. Omar Bradley declared UN forces in Korea are strong enough to prevent any foe from overrunning them and would fight to a successful military conclusion if armistice talks fail. He stressed readiness to resume negotiations on equal terms and noted limited signs from North Korea of willingness to adjust terms. In air combat, Sabre jets claimed six Red planes down and two damaged amid 193 aircraft involved, while ground fighting saw Reds recapture a hill east of Heartbreak Ridge as Allied forces stalled westward advances.
