North Korean Resistance Has Apparently Become A Rabble
TOKIO. Oct. 5 (Recd. 6 pm).—Com munist reinforcements in small groups have begun to enter the northern ca-’ hal of Pyongyang in the last 24 hours, but the North Koreans appear to have little or no men and equipment immediately north of the 38* n parallel, which at the moment seem' wide open to any United Nation? thrust, should a decision to cross the border in force be taken. Defensive positions on any scale are almost non-existent and staff officers believe the northerners have
withdrawn what equipment and materials thev could salvage from south of the hill’ country immediately south of the northern capital. American intelligence officers claim the northern command has disintegrated under the battering from the United Nations forces. They say th'. Communist leaders lost control qf the broke out from the southsrn bridge- , head. Since then the northern forces have never been able to regroup and . fight as a co-ordinated body.—Reuter.
