The communism stood and fought only at the western and eastern ends of the front. They still were retreating elsewhere, pre sumably to regroup for the second round of their spring offensive. However, Intelligence reports from the western front above Seoul quoted captured North Korean officers as saying there would be no further commun ist offensive. “The war is about over,’ ’they were quoted as saying. Eighth Army headquarters sources were skeptical. They said more enemy vehicles than ever before were spotted last .night moving communist vie-. inforcements and supplies to the front.

U.. S. artillery and fighter planes sup ported the attack. By nightfall, the South Koreans were locked in battle with an es timated two communist regiments —4,000 to 5,000 men. The regiments apparently had been left behind to cover the withdrawal of the rest of the Seoul siege army to re group farther north . Other tank-infantry teams on the western front ran into small arms and mortar fire north of Ui jongbu, 11 miles above Seoul and undetermined number of en emy troops dug in behind a mine field east of Uijongbu.

On the firing of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, Con gressman Cooley said that "only time will tell who was right,” and that he didn’t believe much more time would be required. He sug gested that the people should with hold judgment pending final dis closure of the facts. Congressman Cooley's address brought applause, however, when he asserted that: "In times of war, our generals should be given every consideration, and plans for win ning the war should not be In volved In high-hat diplomacy.” He reminded' that, "The diplo mats, as well as others, have made a lot of mistakes In the past.” Mr. Cooley listed among mis takes of the past the Partitioning of Germany, Austria and possibly Korea.

Marshall, In a fighting attaefc on MacArthur’s recommend* tibiyl, said that MacArthur’s discharge became inevitable because in ways “wholly unprecedented” for a mili tary officer he took his “displea sure” of U. S. foreign and military policy decisions to the public. The 70-year-old soldier-states man told senators investigating MacArthur’s dismissal as Far East ern commander that he found his role before them "very distressing.” Os his fellow five-starJ general, Marshall said: “He is a brother Army officer, a man for whom: t have tremendous respect as to his military capabilities and military J performances and, from all I can 1 learn, as to his administration of Japan.” LETS MACARTHUR HAVE IT But distressed or not, Marshall ; then proceeded to let Mac Arthur , | have it: “General MacArthur,” he said, J “would have us, on our own In- * itiative, carry the conflict beyond Korea against the mainland of I ■Communist China, both from the ; sea and from the air. j “He would have us accent the- i risk of involvement not only in an ttf extension of the war with Red 1 China, but in an all-out war with. ‘ the Soviet Union. ‘He would have us do this even at the expense of losing our allies | and wrecking the coalition of free 1 people throughout the world. “He would have us do this even though the effect of such action might expose Western Europe to attack by millions of Soviet Troops 1 poised in Middle and Eastern f Europe.” There is nothing new about |a ’| theater comander, as MacArthur .J was, holding divergent views from a ‘Continued on Pago t> || ALBUQUERQUE, N.
