WITH AMERICANS ON CHIN- JU ROAD. KOREA, Tuesday, Aug. I-Through green coastal hills and along this narrow red clay road the Communists are trying to make their big break through to Pusan before the American re- inforcements get solidly into the fight.

But the reinforcements are now streaming toward the front and these fresh infantry stand an even chance by providing additional manpower to stem the Red tide and turn it back at lost.

Shipments To Britain

0'ITAWA.. Aug. 1 - (GP) - Canada, which has agreed to pro- vide Britain with 80,000,000 pounds of bacon this year. so far has ship- ped only 14,000,000. ' T ,

Officials said today there is lit- tle indication of an acceleration of shipments. At best, officials pre- dict they may reach 40.000.000 to 45,000,000 pounds for the year.

This decline means a saving to the Government for the Govern- Jment ships bacon to Britain at a oss.

It buys it whenever the domes- tic price falls to 321,5 cents a pound for grade A Wiltshlre and sells it to Britain at 29 cents. High dom- estic demand together with the high-price attraction of the im- ited states market, is keeping most bacon away from Government buy- GT8.

The shortage in shipments is causing some disturbance to the

United Kingdom which had plan- ned on receiving fixed monthly

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 - (AP)-Australian and possibly New- Zcaland ground troops will be sent to Korea as quicka ly as it is possible to arsen- ize them. Prime Minister Rob- ert Gordon Menzies of Aus- trallu announced today.

Addressing applauding mem- bers of the United States House of Representatives. Men- zles said his Government will organize "within as few weeks as possible" enough ground

troops to make up "a first class combat group." Menzies said he hopes this

He said in an interview "there is more than one step after you take the first one. And it's better to be sure you're taking the right step ihh the right direction."

amounts from Canada and from European sources.

However. no one is blaming Can- ada. for this country had to per- suade Britain to sign a new bacon contract at the beginning of the year.

It also is expected the cheese- contract target will not be met Britain expanded cheese purchases from 50.000.000 pounds in 1940 to a maximum of 85,000,000 pounds.

Although Canada is requistlon- ing all the cheese under produc- tion, high demand for evaporated milk is causing a diversion of milk from the cheese factories.

Thus there is some doubt that even the minimum target of '70.- O00.000 pounds will be reached. Under terms of the Anglo-canad- lan cheese agreement, Canada buys cheese from producers at 28 cents a pound and sells it to Britain for 25. The loss is borne by the revolv- ing s200.000.000 Government price- support program.

(special to The.Guardlau by Ross Munro) .

TOKYO, Aug. l-The R.C.A.F. participation in the Tokyo airlift is now well underway with four North Stars having completed the North Pacific flight rushing Am- erlcan infantry to Japan for the Korean battlefront.

They will be followed by other planes of the 426 Squadron during the next week or so and Canada's shuttle air service to the war theatre is gradually building up.

It is a mystery to American air force H.Q. here when the R.C.A.F. actually did start this operation as one of Canada's contributions to the U. N. effort in Korea and when four planes sailed in here on Sunday and Monday it was a welcome surprise to the officers running the airlift. Lacking any word on the R.C.A.F. arrival I had gone to the Korean front for the weekend but I was tipped off by telephone at the front that the R. C. A. F. were in Japan so I hitch- hiked back to Tokyo in the night in six hours by two American planes.

At Haneda airport on Tokyo's outskirts. I found a North Star on the tarmac with the R. C. A. P. roundel on its fuselage and the blue and white United Nations flag painted on its tail.

iinifed Nations Forces

Continue To Fall Back in North.

TOKYO. AU8. 2-(Wednesday)- Tank-led American troops today counter-attacked North Korean Communist forces on the southern front west of the threatened port of Pusan. But on the north front United Nations forces fell back, apparently to ease Red pressure until reinforcements can get into the line .

Army troops fresh from the Un- ited Staies rushed to the front west of Pusan where the Com- munists had driven to within 40 air miles of the vital supply port. It was in this area that field d:is- patches said an American counter- attack had begun.

There was no indication as to their strength. The dispatch said only that Americans with armor had begun an attempt to recapture high ground northeast of Chinju, 55' miles west of Pusan. The high ground overlooking the plain ex- tending to Pusan was lost Tues- day. i

The general withdrawal on the north and northwestern corner of the front was the result of the fall of Yechon two days ago. The eastern anchor of the northern front apparently still held. how- ever. with South Koreans report- ed retaking Yongdok. .

The fresh troops, with tanks and guns. moved into the fight today.

Brightest ray of hope for the outnumbered. weary United Na- tions force was that its enemy's Russian-built tanks were appar- ently out of fuel in the vital southwest sector.
