Uncovering an apparent weakness the Chinese forces, the Eighth Army smashed a small communist unit of 100 men inside Suwcn's ancient walls, then

positions south of the town. It was the smooid straight day of sharp. aggressive actions which the Eigihth Army termed "recen- naissance in force." ' Armor-led infantry. entered Osan, 28 air miles south of seoul, Mon- day. then swerved northeast nine miles and captured Kumyanglanr; and nearby Ohon.

whole Front Fluid

The whole Korean front was so fluid that Eighth Army censors or- dered correspondents to refrain from identifying any units below army level.

Apparently one purpose of the Eighth Army's lightning left jabs in the west was to throw off balance the typically-sic-w Chinese buildup of an estimated 120,000 men south of the Han River.

Allied air attacks bloodied this force with 1,750 casualties in two ys.

The strikes in the west coincided with the withdrawal of United Na- tions forces from the 16-day-old Wonju salient in Central Korea.

Eighth Ai-my tactics in Korea ap- pear to be to pull back whenever C- mmunist pressure gets too heavy. The policy goveming the hard-hlt- tlng withdrawal is to preserve max- imum Allied strength while sa-pplng the enemy.
