Allies Chase Retreating Reds Toward Kumhwa TOKYO, April 19— (IP) —United Nations spearheads struck north west from captured Hwachon and its big dam today toward the ene my’s central Kdrean bastion of Kumhwa, rallying point for tens of thousands of retreating Chinese troops. At the same time, another tank tipped Allied column headed toward Kumhwa from the southwest in a pincers drive on that key base 20 miles north of the 38th Parallel. A third task force drove almost to Chorwon, southwest anchor of the communist build-up area 14 miles Wist of Kumhwa and 17 miles north of the parallel. It thrust within two miles of Chorwon yesterday before retiring for the night.

WILL REVIEW CAMPAIGN His aide said his report would encompass a “general review of the Far Eastern situation with particular emphasis on the Korean campaign.” - ■ The general was not expected to make specific recommendations, but it was freely speculated that he would restate his views that the communist threat must be met In Asia with an all-out effort. The general's view is that his hands have been tied—by political decision —as no commander’s ever has been in attempting to carry the Korean War to the enemy. The administration’s backfire against him already was blazing as the “Bataan” let down easily at the Military Air Transport head quarters just across the Potomac River from Washington.
