Reds Dig In for Last Stand at Key Base
North Koreans dug in for a last-ditch defense along the Chinju front as a U N Korean offensive pressed forward. Reports from Tokyo said a northern column of about 10 000 NK forces halted 13 miles from an important U S fighter base on the east coast while US and South Korean troops held three riverbank crossings along the Naktong. Allied forces recaptured Yongdok, 90 miles north of Pusan, and pressed east to Chinju as the advance grew to more than 73 miles, marking the biggest single gain of the war for American troops. Marines mapped Reds near Kosong as a rout was described by a U S general officer.
