Troops Face Grave Peril In Red War
United Nations forces in Korea face a very grave situation, with high Pentagon officials skeptical that diplomacy will stop the 1,000,000 strong Chinese Communist Army. General Omar Bradley clarified that a Dunkerque style evacuation was only a last resort for hard pressed troops in the Northeast, while remaining forces shift to reinforce other areas. He rejected reports of a fixed plan to evacuate if Korea cannot be held and called such rumors misleading.
