Main Enemy Pressure On Norihem Sector

By MILTON MARMOR

TOKYO. Auz. 3l-(Thursday)- (AP)-Close-quarter action flared all aionl the Korean war front Wednesday with Allied troops jab- bing at increasingly large North Korean forces trying to cleave the United Nations beachhead.

Counter-attacking US. and South Korean forces pushed to a point one mile north of Pohang on the eastern end of the front, even as rifle fire from flanking Commun- ist forces showered on the port city.

Dispatches from the Pohang front called the situation incon- clusive and Still worrisome.

The Reds searched all along the 120-mile-long battle front for a weak spot. An estimated il0.000 to 120.000 men-l2 Communist dviv- isions-were on the line. Another 30,000 men from three new diyls- ions were expected to join the force soon.

.

Heavy Red Pressure

The main Red pressure was brought to bear on ihe northern front. where the lines run roughly 55 miles inland from Pohang on the east coast to Waegwan, 12 miles northwest of Tacgu.

Gen. MacArthur's summary ear- ly today said Allied troops cleared out a Red unit which had cut the Pohang-Taegu supply road behind South Korean forces in the Kigye area. nine miles northwest of Po- horig. But the key artery to Taegu was reported still under Red. rifi fire from the hills. g '

Farther we.-it along I the north rim of the U. N. bsachhcad, South Korean troops clashed with ti force of I00 Reds which had in- filirated defence lines three miles north of Sinnyong. 10 miles north. east of Tacgu.

Battle For Hill

Still farther west. about 16 miles northwest of Taegu. U. S. forces stormed up a strategic hil'. four miles northeast of Waegwan in the face of withering machine- gun. mortar and small-arms fire. But at nightfall Wednesday. the Americans had failed to reach the summit and withdrew to try again at the next down.

The 1.700-foot hill dominates the siii-rounding terrain and is deem! ed one of the best offensive posit- ions in the sector. it was lost by the Sourth Koreans two weeks ago.

Between the hill action..and the Pohang-Kigye battlefront, some 40,000 Communist troops backed by powerful artillery support ham- mered away on the Uihung sector seeking a break-through hole. Any collapse there would open the floodgates to T-Iegu Ind perhaps Pusan.

Although the main threat to United Nations holdings appeared to be in the cast and northeast. furious fighting raged on Battle Mountain on the southeast front.

American and South Korean troops shoved the Bed: of! this bloody summit Is the bill. which dominates the area near Human. 10 miles west of the southern part of Mason. changed hands for the eighth time in two weeks.

fective Friday. The longer draft term will apply to Ill nIilonIl service men in uniform Oct. 1.

Recruiting to the regular armed forces has been dropping since 1047. 'l'hIt year. enilstments total. led 90,500. In 1948 the total de. eiined to 07.200 and in 1049 in 52.- 300. The downward trend contin- ued in the first six months of this year.

Eifi. Head Claims Coldwell Charge lie .Gordoii.iinirue: .

MONTREAL, Aug. 30 --The fol- lowing statement was issued by W. A. Mather. president of the Can- Idlan Pacific Railway. tonight:

"The statement attributed to M J. Coldwell by press dos-patches to the eflfect that Mr. Gordon had abruptly brought the. strike negoti- ations fo an end is untrue, and can only be attributable to a on-.-sided account of the negotiations giver to Mr. Coldwell by the represent- atives of the unions.

"Nothing was said by Mr. Gordon on that occasion or any other that was not the result of careful con- sideration by the Railway lepre- senfatives jointly on what was their common problem.

"The fact is that at the conclus- ion of the meeting on Saturday afternoon, the situation had be- come so critical that. at the re- quest of the Railways. an adjourn- ment was taken until 7.30 Saturday night in order that both parties should have an opportunity of re- considering their stand on a quest- ion of such great public import.- once.

"when the conference was N- su.:ned on Saturday evening the representatives of the men again said that their position was un- changed and it was because of this ban that negotiations were discon- tlnued."

M. J. Coldwell. 0.0.1". leader. vir- tunlly called for Mr. Gordon's res- ignation as president of the Canad- ian National Railways because of his handling of the rail-dispute negotiations with the unions.

Members of three parties. in- cluding one Liberal, attacked Mr. Gordon. one Progressive Conserv- ative came to his Ild.

Mr. Coldwell said Mr. Gordon's "period of usefulness as president of the O.N.i7. has come to an end." Angus Meclnnls (Oc!'--vIn- eouver that) said it would take :1 generation of good labor relations to undo the harm the wartime prices controller has done in his few months as rail head.
