Veteran Observer Sees No Chance of Holding Beachhead
Veteran AP writer Boyle, a Korea war correspondent, argues the Korean War is militarily decided. He notes UN forces lack sufficient manpower and air support to halt a Chinese Red army of over a million, with key port and terrain limits forcing a retreat to the Pusan perimeter. He predicts an end to the UN police action by year’s start, with many troops likely returning home defeated or frustrated.
