Airmen Push Deep in Korean Offensive Amid Heavy Losses
U S Marines and infantry smashed nearly two miles forward in a major Korean offensive backed by a ferocious air campaign. About 9 000 Allied troops including leathernecks doughboys and South Korean commandos attacked the 6th North Korean division, forcing Reds to expose positions to Fifth Air Force fighters and bombers. The attack followed a heavy air and artillery bombardment as U S and South Korean forces pressed toward the Naktong line amid cautious UN planning. President Truman received a complete briefing while defense officials warned against predicting a general UN advance. General MacArthur’s headquarters termed it the first UN offensive after weeks of retreats, with reinforcements pouring in as U S tanks faced stiff enemy fire. Harriman visited front lines and later described morale as cheerful and optimistic.
