LINKING UP FORCES
“Looks Like Long Bloody Road”
(Rec. 12.30 a.m.) TOKYO, Sept. 18. “It still looks like a long, bloody road to linking up with the United Nations forces in the north,” says a dispatch from the Taegu front. “The North Koreans are trying to hold the line in the south-east to prevent themselves from being crushed in the Allied nut-cracker offensive. They appear to be concentrating their efforts on the Pohang front and me east coast. Here they held their ground in spite of shelling from the oattieship Missouri. Air Force officers said that they hoped to begin operations soon from the Kimpo airfield, near Seoul. The North Koreans would first have to be pushed out of artillery range. Army engineers were preparing to throw a bridge across the Han river, which is the only natural barrier to Seoul.
