Korea, Thurs. —(IP)— Allied planes attacked rail roads in northwest Korea from be fore dawn until dark Wednesday, striking at supply lines along which the Communists are building up their battle-line. By 6 p. m., in 318 sorties, U. S. Air Force and Marine tactical planes had destroyed or damaged 51 railroad cars, three locomotives and one bridge and had cut the rails at 43 places. The attack was concentrated chiefly along the 45-mile stretch of the main line railroad running northward from Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, to the Im portant Kunuri junction. JET PLANES TANGLE In far northwest Korea, 20 Ameri can Saberjet fighters clashed brief ly with an estimated 40 Commu nist jet fighters along the Man churian border some 30 miles from Sinanju. Neither side scored hits. In ground fighting United Na tions forces stormed the last Communist-held hill on Bloody Ridge, where the Reds lost 8,905 dead and wounded last week. The Allied Attack carried the battle ft Bloody Ridge into its 14th day. Another nearby hill taken by the Communists t In a counter attack was recaptured by U. N. troops yesterday. North Korean Reds threw eight seperate counterattacks ranging in strength from companr to battal ion against Bloody Ridge Tues day, but all were repulsed in heavy fighting in rain apd mud. RAIN HALT ACTION Action along the rest of the ground front Tuesday was brought to a near halt by the heaviest rains in a month.

J WASHINGTON ((IF)-—The Wage Stabilization Board NO. if* Ridgway Rejects Red Demand For Bombing Probe By Earnest Hoberecht UP Staff Correspondent TOKYO (OF.)—Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway’s firm but mild reply to the Commun ists was believed tonight to have paved the way fpr early resumption of the Korean armistice talks. The replv rejected & Communist demand for a new t). N. investiga- Uon of the alleged bombing of neutralized Kaesong, but it con tained none of the scathing lan guage which marked Ridfeway’s previous axchanges with the Reds. The supreme United NaUons commander made only two "points in his brief message; CONTINUES DELAY The Red offer to permit a rein vestigation a week after the alleged raid "could serve no purpose other than to continue this unjustifiable delay in the armistice negotiations.*’ Ridgway will send his truce negotiators to Kaesong to seek a “reasonable armistice agreement” as soon as the Communists lift their suspension of theh talks. Ridgway’s headquarters, in a commentary on the Allied reply, said the Communists “have had more than ample time to improve upon the staging” of the alleged air raid on Kaesong last Wednes day night. “In the six days intervening,” a statement said, “it would have easily been possible to rearrange the so-called ‘evidence’. Under Uje circumstances, further investiga , tion would serve no useful pur pose.” It was hoped that the Reds would stop rehashing alleged violations of Kaesong’s neutrality and reply iwith a specific proposed to reopen (Continued from page t.tsO Miss N.
