Turning Point in Korea Seen Within Two Weeks
Washington reports a top army officer predicting a turning point in Korea within about two weeks or sooner. He warns of possible retreat to a 100 mile defense line from Masan to Taegu to Pohang, yet defences may hold to allow MacArthur time for a counteroffensive. A second spokesman says Communists are weakening as defenders strengthen, noting added U.S. and South Korean divisions and a need for more troops and gear. The invaders rely on numbers, raw conscripts, heavy artillery, and fewer tanks than earlier, with two thirds of the original 300 tanks reportedly knocked out.
