Sharp Pdllol Fighls Flare Al Many, Plicesi

By ROBERT IJUNSON

TOKYO. Jan. 20 - (Saturday)- (AP) -- United Nations fcrces stab- bedldeep inside Communist lines on three frozen sectors of the Kor- ean front today in the face of an expected third all-out Rod offen- sive.

Three sizable Allied patrols. led by tanks. reoccupied Wonlu on the central front Friday without oppos- ition. The battered lrey rail and highway centre had been abandon.- ed by the U. S. 2nd Division Tues- day.

About 10,000 Allied troops jump- ed off across the snowbound east- central front Friday near Yongwoi. 30 miles southeast of Worllu. and. with airp:wer help, killed an estim- ated 1.000 North Korean Reds.

On the western front. where a marauding band of tank-supported doughbcys has been harassing Red lines all -week. brief skirmishes were reported near Osan, 20 miles south- east of Seoul.

Small, sharp patrol fights flared at many points along the Korean no-man's-land.

A U.N. division staff officer said the Reds will strike "when they are damn good and ready."

Ready For Then

He added: "We are ready for them. We stood off more than the attacks they'll be able to mount."

The officer said it's hard to see what they are waiting for.

"There are probably 100.000 of them C three Chinese armies mu 8. bunch of North Koreans-north of Suwon and south of the Han River. They have plenty of food. although they may need a little more heavy equipment." he .Idd- ed.

Another staff officer expressed the opinion that "they'll hit us be- fore the first of the month."

Unconfirmed reports that some Chinese were withdrawing were countered by recollections that odd lulls also preceded their earlier of- fenslves. i

An army briefing officer in wash- ington said Friday that Chinese Communist troop strength in Korea appears unchanged from that or recent weeks.

U. N. Aclion On lied China Bogs Down

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Jan. iii -(AP) - United Nations action on Communist China bogged down today in a wclter of behind-the scones conferences on the next moves.

Sponsors of a plan to brand the Communist Chinese as aggresors delayed presenting a formal re- solution to the U. N. political coin- niiitce to give some delegations more time to consult their Gov- ernments on dcialls of the pro- posal.

A U. S. spokesman reported that the American delegation found "quite solid” support for the de- nunciatory resolution in confer- ences with British Commonwealth countries iilld France. But he said they were unable to draft a prc-possl for presentation to ihc committee today, as was expected.

Still Another Plan

The Middle Eastern and Asian countries met and were reported to have agreed on proposing I new appeal to Red China, based on I cease-fire in Korea in e chnnge for a seven-power conference. This psrley would not be held in China, L! J minded by the Peiplllg regime. but in a place in be pick- ed by the United Nations. Under the reporled plan. the Chinese de- mand for I U.N. seat would be de- cided It the conference. and not beforehand Is the Peiping Govern- ment asked.

some of the sponsors were re- porled to have little hope for lie chances of accepilnce by the Red Chinese. but" wanted to make the appeal anyway for the record be- fore lining up behind the U. S. demand for the aggressor tag. Others of the group were reported Adamant in their opposition lo any d-enunciaiion of Red 'Chln'a.'

Cabinet

OTTAWA. Jan. 19 - (CF! -The Government. faced with approach. ing and critical decisions to be taken in the national and inter- naiimnl spheres. is calling key Ministers to the capital for 'l'l'!pm-t,. ant Cabinet meetings next week.

The council sessions will deal primarily with the Government's legislative rims:-rim for the Parlia- mml-3PY,595310h opening Jan. 30 but. because of Canada's increasing commitments abroad. that program will be lntematicnal as well us na- tional in scope and ramification.

CIII Ministers Home

Tile call. from Prime Minister st, Laurent, has gone out to two Min- isters who are away, Finance Min- ister Abbott and Resources Minister winters. Others already in the cap. ital have been asked to remain av. ailable for next week's meetings.

Trade Minister Howe, top mm in the country's defence productloli schemes. is in Washington for gen- eral oconomlc talks with United States industrial mobilization chiefs. However. he will be back before the council sessions start.

A Cabinet meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, Jan, 23, mg others are expected to follow a.-. Mr. St. Laurent and his Ministers move deeper into the shaping of their program.

This program, which will be em- bodied in the Speech from the Throne to be read at the'opening of the now session, undoubtedly will be one cf the most important since the ending of the Second world War. It. and the legislative pro- gram that will stem from it, may change the pattern of Canadian life for months, perhaps years.

Far-Readillng Program

For one thing, the program will tell Parliament - and the coun- try -- what the Government iii- tends to do further to build up the country's defences. to assist Can- ada's Allies abroad and to contnin the inflationary pressures and oth- er economic ills that inevitably fol- low a defence program. '

Action 0n Case

It also will provide the basis -- alid probably the core - of Gov- ernment policy in the months ahead and serve as the structure for the Government's preparedness

steps.

Just what those steps will be no one cutside of cabinet circles will know until the Governor-General reads the Throne speech. But there have been hints and speculation about the trend of Governmental thinking.

It is taken for granted, for ex- ample. that higher taxes are in store. thcugh their extent will not be known until the 1061-52 budget is brought down in the spring. and that allotment of arms to Can- ada's North Atlantic partners will be increased. Increased appropria- tions for the armed forces are ex- pected.

Urges U.-N: To Take Immediate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 - (AP) -An aroused House of Representa- tives shouted approval today of a resolution urging the United Na- tions to brand Red China In ag- gressor in Korea.

House Dcmocratic leader John W. McCorlnack of Massachusetts intro- duced the resolution and was join- cd in the action by Martin.
