Troop Build Up The continuing southward movement of
the expanding Korean Peoples Army
toward the thirty-eighth parallel probably constitutes a
defensive -rne<me to offset the growing strength of the
offensively minded South Korean Army, The influx of
Chinese Communist-trained troops from Manchuria, how -
ever, wfll partially solve North Kgreas manpower shortage
and will add materially to the combat potential of the North
Korean Army. North Korean military strength has been
further bolstered by the assignment of tanks and heavy
; field guns to units in the thirty-eighth parallel zone and by
the development of North Korean ai r capabilities, Despite
this increase in North Korean military strength, the poss-

, $ I
i
lbility of an invasion of South Korea is unlik& &less North
Korean forces can develop a clear-cut superiority over the
increasingly efficient South Korean. Army.

THE KOREAN SITUATION

The Soviet-inmired invasion of South -and the
promprand vigorous US reaction have overnight changed the
complexion of the cold war and will lead to the development
of new and critical problems for the US in nearly every quar -
ter of the globe. It is not believed that the USSR desires a
global war at this time. It is probable, however, that a con-
certed attempt will be made t o make the US effort in Korea
as difficult andxostly as possible; (The USSR has sizedble
forces -of Chinese Communist troops at its disposal for this
purpose.) The implications to the US of defeat in Korea would
be far -reaching. It would become nearly impossible to develop
effective anti-Communist resistance in Southeast Asi a, and pro-
gress toward building a strong Atlantic community would be
seriously threatened. A US victory in Korea would also pose se-
riousproblems for the US.
Increased Demands The adoption of a vigorous stand by the
US against Communist expansion has,
throughout the nondmiet
however, implies that any
iprompt,and effective action
eE-y have even more
t0 USandWestkrn prestige than would
have resulted from failure to come to the aid of South Korea.
The Korean.invasion has increased fears that the USSR will
take aggressive action in other soft spots on the Soviet peri-
phery, thus tending to create in these areas greater demands
for US military and economic aid. The areas most immediately
affected are Southeast Asi a (particularly Indochina), Iran, Yugo-
slavia, Greece, apd Germany.

THE KOREAN SITUATION
Soviet Intentions and Capabilities
Two weeks after the beginning of hostilities i n Korea,
the world was still waiting for some firm indication of Soviet
intentions regarding not only Korea but other countries on
the Soviet periphery. It became clear, however, that the North
Koreans were not to be intimidated by US involvement in the
t the all-out effort t o overrun South Korea would
ed. A s long as the North Korean advance con-
tinues;the USSR can remain aloof; the crucwl moment will
co-me when and if the battle turns in favor of US and South
K orea Scsces. A t ahat t$me, the USSR must decide whether
a North Korean defeat or to hke whatever steps are
to prolong the action,

Soviet Inpntions At the moment, the Soviet and Communist
propaganda line offers no clue regarding
Soviet propzgandists would have no difficulty
nt line as a basis either for withdrawal from
the USSR has
Soviet troops, for prolonging the fighting i n Korea, as well as for
initiating hostilities elsewhere. Thus, although the USSR would
prefer to confine the conflict to Korea, a reversal there might
impel the USSR to take greater risks of starting a global war either
by committing subsbntial Chinese Communist forces i n Korea or
by sanctioning aggressive actions by Satellite fqrces in other areas

of the world. The decisiveness of the US reaction to the Korean
invasion will thus cause the Kremlin to move cautiously, but
the danger still exists that the USSR, as it did two weeks ago,
, wii~ again miscalculate the Western neaction t o any future moves
it may feel are necessary.
The Par East The Korean invasion has had its most immediate
and compelling impacton the Far East, parti-
cularly as it has affected international Communist intentions
tca speed the expansion of Communism throughout the area through
the-instrumentality of the Peiping regime. Pending clarification
of the Soviet position, the Peiping regime has not yet committed
itself and,,as far as Korea is concerned, wi l l probably not take
icant changes have occurredin troop dis-
positions along Southeast Asian frontiers. Reported movements
of large troop format&& from South and Ce&1 China toward
the Northeast are largely discounted. Communist troops already
i n North China and Bhnchuria are sufficient to pmi de substantial
support to the North Koreans and of these approximately 40-50,000

are of Korean nationality. Despite these reported troop
movements and Chinese Communist capability to launch
simultaneous and successful military actions in Korea,
Hong Kong, Macao, and Indochinaj no immediate action is
expected. With regard to Taiwan, the US committment to
defend the island has almost certainly delayed the-hvasion
timetable if only because it will make occupation of the is-
land too costly an operation for the Peiping regime to under -
take without outside assistance.

parently incapable of doing so, and the Chinese Communists thus
have a legal excuse for carrying out local or major military
operations in Burma.

to challenge Soviet leadership in Asia. In addition to these
purely iqternal difficulties, the use of Chinese Communist
forces in Korea would increase the risk of global war, not
only because of possible UN or US reaction but because the
USSR itself would be under greater compulsion to assure a
victory in Korea, possibly by committing Soviet troops.
Taiwan Invasion The principal problems confronting the
Kremlin in deciding whether to permit
an invasion of Taiwan are the nature and extent of US re-
r<precipitated because of the
spread of Communist military aggression. Several factors
may lead to a decision to launch a assault on Taiwan before
the typhoon season i n late August. Recent evidence indicates

Support for Indochina Indochina offers the Chinese Com-
munists their greatest opportunity
for expanding Communist influence in Asia with the minimum
military or political risks. From a military viewpoint, the
Indochina conflict has been a stalemate. Despite considerable
successes, the French have been unable fully t o capitalize on
their superiority in equipment and manpower because of the
essentially guerrilla nature of the fighting and the terrain
which prevents large-scale operations. Given equipment and
supplies similar to that of the French, the forces of Ho Chi-
Minh could shift the course of the present inconclusive warfare
p their favor. The Chinese Communists have the capabilities
t o supply the material needed by HO Chi-Minh and may be ex-
pected to step up such assistance in the immediate future.

force in regimental sbength reported to be in the coastal city
of Mokpo. Along (.he front from Taejon to ihe east, the enemy
continues to mass troops and materiel and t o increase pressure
amlnst US and South Korean positions. Two new North Korean
divisions have been idenMSied in the central sector, which, com-
bined with the shlting of khhs combat-w9se North Korean First
Division, indicates preparations for a major push south toward
Taegu and Kumchon. Enemy troops south of Yongdok on the
east, coast were pushed back one mile by USSouth Korean forces,
but the situation remains serious. Aircraft of the US Seventh
Fleet are styikfng at enemy l roops in southwest Korea.

an estimated nine divisions, is now within 75 airline miles
of Pusan along the left flank, 105 airline miles from Pusan
in the central seebop, and 90 airline miles above Pusan along
the east coast. Despite heqq losses and disrupted and ex-

western sector the enemy has forced element.. of the US First
Cavalry to withdraw to new positions three miles east and
south of Yongdong, The centrad sector has been relatively .
quiet. North Koreans are contfnuing their build-up in the
W T,yang -Punggi -Ydngju area, however, and the appearance -
there of fresh enemy troops increases the possibility of a major
enemy effort to break through unrested South Korean division..
to Taegu. On. the east coast, enemy strength has been increased
in the Yongdok area by the appearance there of the Fifth Division,
and additional enemy troops in undetermined strength are moving
south along Ihe east coast road below Samchok.
W and British Eleet units conducted a carri er ais strike
against souihwestern Korea during the past 24 hours, but in 11.0
sorties over the Kuman-Mokpo-Kwangju area the pilots could find
no enemy lroop concentrations or movements. The enemy is
apparently observing sixkt camouflage discipline and moves on
the roads by night whenever possible.

1. Defense lines stable, but enemy build-up continues--No major
changes have occurred in the defense line during the past 24
hours, but the continuing build-up of enemy pressure in all
sectors increases the possibility that the North Koreans are
preparing for another onslaught, In the south, the North Korean
Fourth Division was forced back ttwo miles by attacking US forces
east of Hadong. In the area southwest of Yongdong,envelopment
isolated one company of US troops; a second attack by the enemy
succeeded in making a minor penetration into southern-held ter -
ritory near Kidae. On the eastern sector south of Yongju, UN
forces repulsed the Seventh North Korean Divislon oflensive which
was supported by tanks,
North Korean propaganda, yhich is being supervised by
Soviet advisors, is stressing Stalin s reply to Nehrus letter on
the Korean issue as further evidence of the Soviet desi re to
defend the peace and security of the world. Radio broadcasts
state that the North Korean regime would welcome a peaceful
settlement, but repeat the point made by Stalin to Nehru that
the door to such a peaceful settlement will be open only after
delegates of the Chinese Peoples Republic are seated in the
UN and the Security Council hears representatives of the
Korean people.

1. North Koreans attack in central sector-North Korean forces
in considerable strength are attacking US positions in the cen-
tral sector near the *tal city of Yonidon6 and at t he same time
enemy Ior ces are attempting to turn the defensive flanks in the
extreme south and along the east coast near the battered city
of Yongdok. Present evidence indicates the Invading forces have
the reserves and equipment necessary to launch a major onslaught
designed to destroy the defending UN forces or to push them into
the sea. In &e southern area, the North Korean Fourth Division
has advanced well beyond Hadong along the road toward Chinju
and enemy forces in battalion strength have occupied the port
city of Yosu. Along the northern Plank, the battered port city of
Yongdok has m::orte: l?.y been recaptured by South Korean forces
following a saturation bombardment of the city by US naval forces.
The navy also bombarded other points in enemy-held territory
along the east coast.
W
Approximately 132 of the 2 10 South Korean National
Assemblymen met in Taegu for their first post-invasion meet-
ing to heat Presjdent Rhee and Assembly Speaker Shin declare
their confidence in an eventual UN victory in Korea. Rhee and
Shin also expressed confidence that *he 38th Parallel boundary
would be abolished and that the fatherland would be unified.
During the course of this meeting, radio broadcasts originating
from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang sent out an appeal
allegedly made by 48 former members of the South Korean Na-
tional Assembly in Seoul asking the Assemblymen In Taegu to
withdraw their support of Rhee anal come over to the side of the
people. Foreign correspondents of the Communist press of
France, England, and China, now touring North Korean cities that
have been bombed by US forces, report that US planes are bomb-
ing from above the clouds and clearly engaging i n terroristic
bombing designed to kill the peaceful inhabitants. Such reports
are obviously designed to feed the Communist propaganda charg-
ing that the US is the aggressor against Asiatic peoples.

western sector where North Korean troops are exerting
heavy pressure against the US First Cavalry and Twenty-
Fifth ZnfanRry Divisions. In the southwestern sector, enemy
hoops are moving eastward toward contact with advanced
US positions. Fu~Sher l o the north enemy troops are moving
east to gain positions on the road running north from Kochang
to Kumchon, present headquarters of the First Cavalry Divi-
sion on the main rail line from Kumchon to Pusan. Positions
are generally slabilized in the eastern sector where South
Korean troops hold the line, allhough the concentration of
enemy troops indicates the possibility of a major push
towards Hamchang in the direction of Kumchon and Taegu.
An attack by UN forces loward Yongdok on the east coast
met stiff enemy resistance, and no change in the location
of the front line one mile south of Yongdok has been reported.
US naval units conllnued to support ground forces in the
Yongdok area by off -shore bombardment of enemy concentra -
tions, and other units launched four carri er air strikes, hitting
enemy lines of communication and troop concentmtions i n the
southwest and west sectors.

2. Views on US policy toward Korea--US Ambassador Kirk
3/73
in Moscow has emphasized the importance af clarifying
US political objectives in Korea and of properly correlating
US policy in Korea wiah the problems of containing Soviet
expansion in ot her areas of he world. Kirk believes the
key political issue regarding Korea is whether UN forces
should be committed now or in the near future t o the elimina-
tion of Soviet inlluence and pawer from Korea norlth of the
38th parallel. Ambassador Kirk recommends that the UN
declare its determination to assist the Koreans by all possible
means to achieve their freedom in an independent, unified
and democratic state, but believes it would be decidedly pre-
mature in such a declapation deHnitely t o commit the US to
the use of its forces north of the 38th parallel. Kirk stresses
that the US is not now in a posftion t o make a realistic ap-
praisal of #e obstacles, m1lidat.y and otherwise, which will
exist after North Korean troops are driven back to the 38th
parallel, According to Kirk, elementary prudence dictates
that the US not now assume an obligation which would re-
quire a US military elfort out of proportion to the political
and strategic imporbnce of Korea.
In estimating Soviet Intentions, Kirk points out that
the USSR has thus far cautiously avoided involving Soviet
prestige and has given no indication of its reaction when the
tide of batkle turns against North Korean troops. In support
of his belief that the USSR at that critical point will not
throw its own forces or those of the Chinese Communists
into South Korea, Kirk points to: (a) estimated Soviet re-
luctance to inUiate global war; (b) the flexibility shown by
the USSR when confronted with opposition in such areas as
I ran, Greece and Berlin; and (c) the Soviet attitude since the
Korean fighting began. Kirk considers it more likely that the
USSR will attempt t o arrange some kind of truce on the basis

\

of the status quo, and, if unsuccessful, to withdraw North
Korean troops to the 38th parallel. This latter move might
be accompanied by a proclamation affirming the inviolability
of the 38th parallel. On the other hand, if the USSR should
decide that a commitment to defend North Korea would in-
volve too great a risk of global war, Kirk recommends that
the US be prepared to hike advantage of any temporary mili-
tary vacuum and, coincident with political unification moves
by the UN, take whatever military measures might be neces-
sary to maintain internal law and order north of the 38th
parallel.

the UN has made a deep impression on Soviet leaders, and that
the Kremlin must view wlth serious coneern the march of events
which thseakens to make the West much stronger within a year
or two.
The Embassy esthnates that the Kremlin may now feel
that propaganda moves and obsbuction within the UN are in-
sufficient and that h e time has come for makwconcrete ap-
peasement moves which would tend to relax the marshalling of
the free worlds strength. In assessing Soviet intent in returning
to the UN14 the Embassy points out that now is the propitious
time for peace moves in Korea and comments that the USSR
will probably submit proposals based on the withdrawal of foreign
troops and new electlons, perhaps under UN observation. If the
USSR intends a real appeasement move, the Embassy believes the
proposal may be accompanied ?jy a wtthdrawal of North Korean
troops to the 38th Parallel t o avoid their eventual defeat and t o
permit maximum polltical capital to be derived from the Soviet
role of peacemaker. The Embassy warns that the outcome of
such elections might favor the Korean Communists. The Embassy
suggests the USSR will continue to link a peaceful settlement OnKorea
to the question of admitting ?he Chinese Communists to the UN,
with a Vote delayed for the time beingJ and that he USSR may
attempt to make Formosa an issue in the hope of exploiting the
US unilate yl commitment On. that island, The Embassy believes
the Kremlin s eyes are on the major issues involved, and doubts
that the USSR is returning l o the SC with the somewhat legalistic
motive of blocking UN action wf& T Wrd t o aggression elsewhere.

1. US troops attacking on south flank near Chinju--Fresh US
troops are counterattacking along the extreme left flank
near Chinju in an effort to halt the North Koreans, who are
only 40 miles from the key port city of Pusan. UN forces
also advanced slightly north of Yongdok on the east coast,
but the enemy retained the initiative at all other points
along the defense perimeter. In the central sector, UN
forces withdrew slightly under heavy enemy pressure. UN
aircraft flew 425 sortles during the past 24 hours (the
largest total of the war) and reported the destruction of
6 enemy lanks, 45 trucks, 1 bridge, and other military
equipment and targets. Two air raids caused heavy damage
in Hangnam, North Korea, where the three majo~ industrial-
chemical plants of Korea are located. Om plant is the
largest explosive producer on the Asiatic mainland; the
second is one of the largest chemical fertilizer and synthetic
ammonia plants in the world; and he third manufactures
industrial chemkals, including chlorine, causlic soda, and
calcium carbide.
tween the ages of 17 and 30 have been mobilized for support
of t he North Korean military effort., The men have been
assigned to haul supplies to the battle areas while the women
prepare food for the troops and repair roads. The Commu-

volunteer Hungarian and Bulgarian medical groups, which
are apparently scheduled to serve with North Korean troops.

positions in Korea remained relatively unchanged during

Norh Korean forces have managed a quick reorganization
following the planned wllkhdsawal of Task Force Kern and
halve initiated a limited afexnsive agafnst the US 25t h
DfvSsfon, tn the Kasong area. The enemys main effort,
however, appears to be in the direction of Taegu mrough
the central sector held by h e US 1st Cavalry and the South
Korean 1st DivisEon. In the heavy fighting going on in the
vicinity of Waegwan, 1st Cavalry elements have recaptured
an enemy -occupied hDll ai d have inflicted hbavy casualties.
Simultaneously, however, a strong enemy attack has forced
ti 1200-yard withdrawal of elements of th0 South Korean
c - ? let Division. North Korean forces are reportedly reorgan-
lzfng and regrouping in this area and furtheir attacks in the
direction of Taegu are expechd. J ust south of Waegwan,

North Korean forces are putking up strong resistance t o
heavy US counteraWcks against .the two bridgeheads on the
east bank of tRe Naktong River, The situation of Pohw

claim its recapture by US-UN losces,
Meanwhile, he South Korean National Assembly
recessed on 17 August at the auggestion of President Rhee;
the Assembly will reconvene on 1 September at Pusan. No
official confirmation has been recehed of press reporb
that civilians have been ordered t o evacuate Taegu and that

1. Cefenders withdrawing to Naktong river defense line--UN
forces along the broad central f cont in Korea are making
an orderly and planned withdrawal to new positions on the
east bank of the Njkktong river, which offers the best
natural defense line in the area remaining in the hands of
%he defenders. Sharp attacks by fresh US troops have
apparently blunted the attempt of North Korean forces to
turn be extreme left flank east of Chinju; South Korean
troops have again pushed back the invaders north of Yong-
dok on the east coast . The UN defenders now have limited
reserve forces located in the areas of Pusan-Masan and
Taegu.
UN naval forces bombarded the town of Mokpo
along the southwest coast, and the east coast naval patrol

.the Yongdok sector. B-29;; made their third bombing
raid on tndustrial targets i n Hangnam (chemical center
of North Korea); other air activity was limited to close
ground support missions and attacks on enemy lines of
communication.
The North Korean radio broadcasts are now
- claiming that elections have been held for Peoples
Committees in virtually all the 61iberated provinces
In South Korea. North Korean xopaganda has always
insisted that the Peoples Committees, whlch were banned
in South Korea by the US Military Government in Septem-
ber 1945, weye the rightful organs of government for all
Korea. The re-establishment of these Committees
has been consistently presenbed as the first step in the
liberation of South Korea. The announcement of these
elections paves the way for later propaganda claims
that South Koreans have approved their inbgration into
the framework of the North Korean Democratic Peoples
Republic,

SOVIET RETURN TO THE UN
By returning to the UN, the USSR is seeking to re-
establish maximum diplomatic and propaganda maneuverability
and perhaps t o lay the groundwork for a negotiated settlement
in Korea if the turn of events there convinces the Kremlin of
the need for such a settlement. The Soviet Unfon may also hope
to gain support in Asia by attacking the highly vulnerable US
position on Taiwan.

1, Enemy reported crossinff Naktong River--North Karean forces
have reportedly succeeded in crossing the vital Naktong River
at two points, one near Hamchang in the northern tip of the west
sector and one south of Andong in the northern sector, Mean-
while, northern forces are exerting their heaviest pressure
in the Chinju area on the south coast; one enemy unit has pushed
20 miles east of Chinju, but UN forces are apparently holding
f i rm on bie north and south flanks and are still within 12 miles
of the city. The enemy is continuing its build-up in the vicinity
of Kumchon and heavy fighting is reported on the east coast
where South Korean forces still hold the city of Yongdok.
A concentration of Communist guerrilla forces has been
reported northwest of Taegu ai rstri p and other guerrillas are
located southwest of Yongdok and northeast of Samnangjin,
where UN reserve forces are situated. North Korean reserves
capable of joining the battle have been reported as the First
Division near Chinju, the Ninth and Fourteenth Divisions
in the Taejon area and the Fifteenth Divicion at Yongdong,
In a further attempt to back up its charges of South
Korean aggression, North Korean propaganda is now broad-
casting the details of an alleged US plan for the invasion
of North Korea. The broadcasts assert that the plan was
found in Seoul.

UN attack i n south accelerating--Attacking UN forces near
Chinju are accelerating their pace and forcing the retreating
North Koreans to abandon equipment and supplies as they
move back. The enemy may attempt to consolidate a new
defense line on the high ground southeast of Chinju. In the
central sector, UN forces are continuing to reduce enemy
bridgeheads which are apparently not being reinforced, while
In the north sector, South Korean troops have regained the
ground they lost during the past 48 hours. On the east coast,
however, strengthened enemy forces have again captured
Yongdok and North Korean elements are reported to have
joined guerrillas in the vicinity of Rigye, nine miles inland
from Pohang. This enemy penetration along the east coast
constitutes a serious threat to the port city and the airfield
nearby.
UN naval ai r units from the Seventh Fleet struck at
Inchon and Seoul, destroying or damaging warehouses, oil
storage tanks, railroad marshalling yards, and similar targets.
UN B-29s carried out their heaviest attack to date, dropping
625 tons of bombs on targets in North Korea, Other UN ai r
forces flew over 150 sorties in support of ground troops.

1. UN forces near Cbinju; Pohann threatened by invaders-
UN forces continuing their attack on the southern front
against sporadic opposition have now driven within a few
miles of Chinju. An enemy bridgehead containing two
regiments in the central sector southwest of Taegu is
stubbornly holding on; enemy troops and equipment are
being built up in considerable strength on the west side
of the Naktong above this bridgehead. Little change took
place during the past 24 hours in the general northern
sector, but an enemy force of two regiments, supported
by artillery and tanks, is now fighting in Pohang and
threatening the nearby fighter airfield at Yonil. UN air
and naval units continued t o provide close support for
ground troops at various points along the defense peri-
meter.
US Ambassador Muccio in Korea reports that,
of the 20,000 South Korean personnel in training, an
estimated 6,000 are now available for combat. A lack of
small arms and infantry support weapons, however, makes
it impossible to utilize these 5,000, and Muccio recom
mends that the necessary weapons be forwarded by airlift.

1. Enemy continues build-up In central sector--UN forces in
the south have reached their objectives in the hilly terrain
just south and east of the city 2 Chinju, but consiherable
time will be required to w&e out bypassed enemy pockets
which are now harassing lines of Cammunicatfon, The
enemy continues t o build up troops and equipment in the
central sector, where UN forces are increasing their efforts
to liquidate stubbornly-held bridgeheads east of the Naktong
River. To the northeast in the Pohang-Yongdok area, North
Korean forces still hold the smoldering city of Pohang and
UN troops are maintaining their defense perimeter around
the adjacent fighter airfield, UN naval units bombarded the
North Korean port of Chinnampo on the west coast and sank
two enemy ships; UN air units continued to provide close
support for ground troops along the entire front,
2. Kirks estimate of Soviel inten!--US Ambassador Kirk in
Moscow reports that neither the Korean conflict nor the
obvious increase in he intensity of the war of nerves has
altered the Embassys basic opinion that the Soviet leaders
do not desfre to engage the USSR in a global conflict in the
near future. The Ambassador feels that the Soviet action
in Korea was merely a step forward in the Kremlins PPO-
gram to make the most effective use of Soviet capabilities
for championing world peace movements and simultaneously
creating a war scare. Kirk is convinced that the Kremlin
did not expect the North Korean invasion to bring about I
*
united condemnation by 53 UN meder s or to provoke an
increase in Western defense preparations to cope wi th an
eventual major crisis. Kirk believes that the Kremlin, in
the light of this new situation, is now considering the rela-

1. North Koreans continue build-up along Naktong-While the
i l North Koreans continued t o build up their forces along the
west bank of the Naktong River-now estimated at six divi-
sions with supporting armor --there was little change in the
military situation in Korea during the past 24 hours. Task
Force Kean continued to wipe out enemy pockets in the Chinju
region and to consolidate defense positions. Task Force HilJ
kept the North Korean bridgehead in the US 24th Divisions
zone under pressure and made limited progress toward re-
ducing it. The situation in the Yongdok-Pohang area remaim
static. Meanwhile, there have been no significant North
Korean announcements concerning the unification of Korea,
as was anticipated for 16 August.

out isolated enemy pockets. In the western sector, North
Korean armored forces reportedly penetrated South Korean
positions and occupied a hill about two miles eask of Waegwan.

1, Heavy fighting goes on throughout area--Heavy fighting
-continues in Korea but no sjgnificant changes have been
made in those areas where the heavy fighting is bkw
place. In the Chinju area, US forces have made a planned
withdrawal of several miles and have consolidated; Task
Force Kean, which has been conducting We offenswe nem
Chinju, has been dissolved and Tts responsibiIities turned
over to the US 25th Division. To the north, in the Yongsan
area where the North Koreans hold Weir strongest bridge.-
head across the Nalctong River, the US 24th Division has
been reidorced by the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade
and heavy fighting is taking place. An attempted enemy
break-out from his bridgehead and a drive to sever the
rail line to Pusan is expected, but latest reports indicate
satisfactory US progress in reskrainfig HIPS movement,
Farther to the north, in the Tuksong area west of Taegu,
another enemy bridgehead has been established and is now
under US attack. Immediately norh of Tuksong, both US
and South Korean troops have made gains against ~e
enemy. To the east, a e situation has remained shble.
The evacuation by water of the South Korean forces near
Yongdok has proceeded without enemy interference. Mean-
while, the South Korean National Assembly reconvened in
Taegu on 15 August despite the enemy threat to that city.
Of the 139 members registered for 1 August, 120 were
present at the session.

that only the formulation of a peace plan can meet this
propaganda. The Indian delegate considers that the basis
af such a plan must be the unification of Korea and the
esbblishrnent of a free independent government by UN-
supervised elections throughout the entire country. Rau
also told the US delegation that when he approached
Malik concerning his plan for formation of a mrnmittee of
non.-permanent SC members, Mallk did not like the pro-
posal but said he might change his mind if shown the ad-
vantages, When told by Rau that any proposal for peace
must be based on withdsawal of North Korean forces,
Malik asked whether foreign troops would also with-
draw.

ties as they near the River. Also in the center sector, UN
forces have regained high ground previously lost north uf
. Taegu. In the north sector, Sout h Korean forces have lost
contact with the enemy southeast of Kunwf, indicating i9
possible redeployment of enemy units in this area. On t he
east coast, ROK forces succeeded in recapturing the towns
of Pohang and Kigye and have advanced to high groundto-
the north. A heavy B-28 attack against military targets
i n the North Korean city of Chongjin on be east coast has

1. Heavy action in south and center sect0 ra--The south and
center'sectors of the Koreqn front were the principal scenes
of activity during the past 24 hours. In the south, the N O P ~
Korean forces are exerting heavy pressure in the direction
of Masan and have succeeded in forcing US units out d
several advantageous positions. US counterattacks have
failed to restore positions lost the day before. In the center
sector, 15 miles north of threatened Taegu, the US 27t h Regi-
ment and t he South Korean 1st Division were successful in
Northeast of Waegwan, however, an enemy battalion has pene-
trated to the rear of the US 27t h Regiment. There was little
action in other areas, except on the east coest norm of P~hang
and Kigjle where UN forces advanced one to two miles.

prevailed on the Korean front during t he past 24 hours. In
the south sector, North Korean forces are believed to be
regrouping alun;4he south coast. ln, Lhecenter sector, the
most important development has been the clearing out of the
communication line of the US 27th Regiment which had pre-
viously been cut by enemy forces, Meanwhile, enemy pres-
sure i n this sector appears to have eased, In the north, South
Korean forces have been forced back slightly under strong
North Korean pressure. In the east, South Korsandntts cora-
tinued to move northward. Naval action consisted solely of
patrolling and bombarding targets along the east coast. B-29's
bombed chernkal plants at Hungnam with excellent results.
According to ai r intelligence reports, five new fighter-type
aircraft have been identified at a North Korean alrbase.

1. gul l In operations continues-The continuing lull in enemy
operations along the entire front may indicate that the North
Korean forces are being disengaged for regrouping before
launching further allacks. Many of the invadess best unik
suffered heavy casualties during the past week and a major
reorganbation o enemy units may be necessary. Both sides
continued probing and patrolling operations, but ew troops
were engaged. Heaviest action occurred in the east sector,
where South Korean units made slight withdrawals from ex-
tended positions. UN-llt3 naval airplanes continued t o provide
close suppo~t for ground operations, and air Force planes
continued t o aktaek enemy equipment7 troop concenkations
and other targets in rear areas.

central front quiet, two towns lost in northeast--The broad
central front remained quiet during the past 48 hours, but
UN forces suffered slight reverses in the northeast where
North Korean forces captured the towns of Uihung and Kigye.
UN naval activities were confined to sufface patrols, while
naval-based aircraft flew close support missions and bombed
targets in northeast Korea. On 27 August UN-US aircraft
flew a total of 500 missions; fighters attacked a large troop
concentration in the Kyomipo-Sariwon area (North Korea)
and 3-29s bombed the northeastern industrial city of
Songjin with excellent results reported.

elements pressing forward with considerable armor are
threatening to cut the vltal transportation network connecting
Taegu with the northeast and coastal defense areas. Ai r
activity over the combat area is being resumed after being
hampered by unfavorable flying conditions during t he past
24 hours and reserve elements of the US 24t h Division are
being rushed northward t o stem this latest enemy threat.
Other sectors along the UN defense perimeter are relatively
quiet,
US Embassy reports that on 4 September General
Walker ordered the immediate transfer of UN military
headquarters from Taegu to Pusan. General Walker will
remain In Taegu, however, with a skeleton staff t o direct
operations, General Walker also advised the South Korean
Prime Minister t o transfer ROK military headquarters to
Pusan, The South Korean Home Ministry will remain in
Taegu for the present.

Korean forces are exerting heavy pressere along the entire
UN defense line, but there have been only slight changes ~ l n
position during the past 24 hours. Massed North Ko~earn
troops are exerting extreme efforts t o exploit the near-,

counterattacking UN defenders, however, are managiqg tm
hold their new positions. Enemy forces along the souhern
front are following up their sustained utillery-mortar
barrage of thepast 24 hours with local attacks which may
develop into a major drive toward Pusan. The combmed
UN air forces made their heaviest tactical assault t o date!,
wi t h 440 of t he record 620 sorties being flown in suppwt
of UN ground troops in the northeast sector., US heavy

CURRENT SOVIET TACTICS
Mal& and the UN Soviet tactics in the Security Council
during September will in general con-
form to the pattern developed during August; any variations
will be largely the result of having lost those opportunities
for procedural obstructionism deriving from Maliks position
as president of the SC. Nevertheless, in continuing his campaign
to use the Chinese Communist charges of US aggression on Taiwan
and US violations of Manchuria to pin the label of aggressor on the
US, Mal& will still have considerable opportunity to obstruct, de-
lay and confuse the deliberations of the Security Council, This
campaign, Aowever, designed primarily for Asian consumption, *
may begin to backfire during September as reliance on the veto
rather than purely procedural maneuvers will dramatize Soviet
intransgence. Soviet propaganda efforts will be further deflated
by US willingness both.@ permit UN investigations of the Taiwan
and Manchurian issues and to abide by majority UN decisions re-
garding their disposition.

ance of such troops in the combat area. I t is logical to assume
that if such a reserve had been in existence on 25 J une, it
would have been cohmitted shortly after UN forces had been
committed and when its use might have proved decisive. More-
over, since mid-July the North Korean Army has been using
recruits with a8 little as two weeks training. In addition, even
if not immediately available in concentration areas on 27 June, there
has been ample time since that date to organize and equip any,
Korean veterans in Manchuria who would have been f ar more

useful in combat than the inexperienced reinforcements

being used. Thus, it is likely that the North Koreans will
have to depend for further replacements on: (1) non-
veteran Koreans recruited in Manchuria and that part of
Korea now in Communist hands; (2) untrained Chinese
Communist or Soviet manpower resourceqgr (3) Chinese
Communist or Soiriet military units, if it is decided to
commit such forces in order either to defend the 38th parallel
or t o drive UN forces out of Korea.

The UN landing at Inchon, by rapidly changing the
outlook of the campaign in South Korea, brings appreciably
nearerdhe time when North Korea, as well as the USSR,
must implement crucial political and military decisions re-
garding the ultimate fate of North Korea. Wi th presently
available forces, the North Koreans wi l l be unable to hold
South Korea; a choice of the four broad alternative causes,,
of action available to the enemy, therefore, depends in the
last analysis on the extent to which the USSR is willing to
write off North Korean field forces or perhaps North Korea
as a whola[ These courses of action are: (1) North Korean
military action aimed primarily at defending North Korea :
from invasion by UN forces, possibly combined with North
Korean peace proposals; 12) commitment of Chinese Commu-
nist or Soviet troops north of the 38th Parallel; (3) an attempt
by the USSR itself to settle the conflict diplomatically; or
(4) efforts by some third party, perhaps under Soviet influence,
to mediate the conflict.
Military Prospects Successful consolidation of the UN beach-
head at Inchon and Seoul would effectively
interdict,the main route of supply for the estimated 120-130,000
North Korekn troops engaged in southeastern Korea. Unless
UN forces can be expelled from the Seoul area, organized re-
sistance in the south cannot last long. It is estimated, however,
that with the exception of 15-20,000 relatively ineffective
security troops, all North Korean combat units have already
been committed to the fighting in the southeast. Moreover, it
is not believed that Korean reserves now being trained could
undertake action against the Inchon beachhead soon enough to
prevent the retreat, with heavy losses, of NoHh'Korean troops
from the southeast. Militarily, then, the most probable course

d
of action by North Korean forces, and the one offering the
best chance of success, would be the commitment of North
Korean reserves to a defensive role and a simultaneous with-
drawal of as many combat units as possible over secondary
lines of communication from the southeast to defensive posi-
tions along the 38th Parallel.
Soviet Plans
vening and rely on the North Korean forces to prevent their
own military defeat by UN forces; (2) employ Chinese Com-
munist or Soviet troops in North Korea; or (3) attempt to
achieve %diplomatic settlement. The disadvantages to the
Soviet Union of the two latter alternatives makethe first the
most likely Soviet course of action.
Both the commitment of non-Korean military units
and a diplomatic solution. negotiated by the Soviet Union
itdelf would force the USSR to disavow its previous stand
regarding the Korean question. Since the invasion began,
the USSR has made every effort to localize the 'conflict and
to disassociate itself completely from the North Korean action
as well as from the UN action. Military-action at this time
woulilv$learly undermine this position, and even further weaken
the current Sodet peace offensive, while Soviet diplomatic
action would force the USSR t o accept the legality of UN action.
The USSR might, however, encourage the North Koreans or
some third party to seek a settlement. In either event, the
North Korean position would probably be so weak as to leave
the terms of settlement largely in the hands of the UN.
Given this probable military development,
the USSR must soon: (1) refrain from inter-
Global War Soviet unwillingness to substantially increase
the ri sk of global war and the Soviet appreciation
that the employment of Soviet or Chinese Communist troops
in Korea would represent such a risk are even more compelling

Korea. Faced with the prospect of UN air and naval harass-
ment of lines of communication in North Korea, the USSR
would probably not employ its troops or those of Communist
China without providing them with substantial air cover.
Inevitable conflict with\UN aircraft might lead to a situation
which the USSR might consider itself unable to control short
of precipitating general war. Even if the USSR issued prior
warning of such a move, it could not be assured that UN air I'
forces would refrain from such attacks. Moreover, Soviet
or Chinese Communist aid to the North Koreans would leave
Chinese and Manchurian supply routes, and possibly indus-
trial instal tions, open to air attack. The USSR would prob-
Far Eastern potential unless it intended to initiate general
war in the immediate future.
ably avoid P Psking damage to this segment of the Communist
/ Diplqmatic Action Any Soviet offer of a negotiated settle-
to'abandon its position of refusing to accept the legality of
the UN's position in Korea, would place the USSR in a very
disadvantageous position. Such an offer would have to go
beyond a pious call for a "peaceful settlement"; in view of
the changed military situation, the USSR no longer has any
trupp'cards. Its bargaining position is so weak that pros-
pects for a settlement favorable to the USSR are extremely
limited. The USSR might attempt to improve its bargaining
position by threatening to reoccupy North Korea; such ar
threat, however, would entail the strMg ri sk of being forced
to carry itfhrougLArr uhfaxorable settlement in which the
USSR had participated or which had been preceded by a mili-
tary bluff would be more damaging to Soviet prestige than
the consequences of a continuation of the present hands-off

policy. The Kremlin, therefore, is more likely to seek to

thwart UN efforts through its usual tactics of obstructionism
in the UN, coupled with guerrilla warfare, subversion, sabotage,
and propaganda within Korea. Although the North Koreans either
themselves or through a third party would also be at a disadvan-
tage in seeking a diplomatic solution, if military developments
make such an attempt advisable, neither they nor the USSR wi l l
be restrained by those considerations of prestige which would
deter such action by the USSR alone.

KOREA AND SOVET POLICY
Over-all Soviet Policy The loss of No~t h Korea and the
defeat of the North Korean Com-
munist regime are not likely to produce any immediate or
drastic Soviet reaction. The Kremlin will probably view the
Korean failure as a temporary setback to its long-range ex-
pansionist plans, but not one so damaging to the over-all
Soviet position at home or abroad as to require an immediate
change in the tactics it has been pursuing since the end of
World War II. In the immediate post-Korea period, the
gremlin will bemost concerned with the effect the Korean
invasion has had in: (1) uniting the non-Communist world
against Covmunist aggression and stimulating Western re-
armament; (2) revealing to the Satellites and Communist
Parties Soviet fallibility and failure t o rescue one of its
Satellites: (3) weakening Communist promises of early suc-
cess for Communist-led Colonial liberation -movements; and
(4) demonstrating that Soviet power and influence in Asia will
not go unchallenged-by the West. The USSR will probably be
reluctantito attempt another Korean-type venture in the near
future, fearing eithek failure and thus even greater disadvan-
tages than grew out of the Koreaxi invasion, or the necessity to
use Soviet troops t o achieve success, thus increasing the risk
of general war. The$SSR wi l l therefore attempt to minimize
the UN victory whae cdntinuing ;and intensifying its support for
subversive and guerrWa operations by local Communists, especi-
ally in Indochina, and the current peace propaganda campaign
dll be pressed with renewed vigor.
I/ Korean Settlement Meanwhile, in Korea itself, the possibility
continues to diminish that the USSR or the
Chinese Communists will intervene militarily to prevent the UN
occupation of North Korea. Soviet propaganda and diplomatic

activity of recent weeks suggest that the USSR has, tempo-
rarily at least, written off Korea.
Continued Chinese Com-
munist threats (made through the Indian Ambassador at
Peiping) to intervene if US troops cross the 38th Parallel
are believed to be primarily a last-ditch attempt to in-
timidate the US from taking such a step, In the interim,
the USSR will use its rapidly diminishing opportunities for
obstructing UN action in Korea, but probably will make no
serious effort to reach agreement with the Western Powers.
Realizing that military developments have destroyed any
favorable bargaining position which either the USSR or North
Korea once possessed, the Kremlin will probably not counten-
ance a North Korean peace bid and instead willattempt to make
the UN vicQry as costly as possible.
Military Tactics The general propaganda line and the mili-
tary tactics currently being employed by
the North Korean regime indicate that the North Koreans are
placing little faith in the possibility of a UN agreement satis-
factory to them. The deliberate slaughter of South Korean
civilian prisoners by retreating Communist forces, continued
exhortations for a supreme effort t o expel foreign troops, and
evidence of plans for prolonged resistance all point to the im-
probability of an early surrender. Thus, barring the unlikely
intervention of foreign troops, the North Korean regime will
probably prolong the struggle to the bitter end, inflict the
maximum damage on the country in order to confront a UN-
sponsored government with staggering reconstruction problems,
and then retire to a safe haven in Manchuria to direct continued
guerrilla and subversive activity against the new regime.
c?3
Military Capabilities Lack of trained manpower, a major
contributor to the North Korean defeat
in the south, will probably prove equally disastrous north of the
38th Parallel and is a weakness that could only be cured by time.

CHINESE COMMUMST PROBLEMS
Foreign Policy Foreign Minister Chou En-lais recent
lengthy review d Comrnunist Chinas for -
eign policy contains no new assertions or accusations and
none of the guarded threats is sufficiently strong to indicate
any major change in Peipings foreign policy, The statement
that US intervention in China wi l l be repelled is an idle
one, as the promise to liberateTaiwan specified no time
limit; and the intention to liberate Tibet, *prderabl y through
negotiation, but if necessary by force d arms, has been ex-
pressed-before. The Foreign Ministers remarks regarding
diplomatic relations wi t h Western countries, relations wi t h
the USSR, Wd the hostile attitude of the US. have been uttered
many times in the past. Those parts d Chorts speech which
have been interpreted as indicating a Chinese Communist
intent-to occupy,North Korea or invade Indochina are in fact
estimated to indicate less drastic actions. The statement
that the Korean Communists can obtain final victory
through persistent, long-term resistance probably implies
extensive Chinese support of North Korean guerrillas and
sanctuary for North Korean leaders. However, the intimation
that Communist China is now prepared to rush to its neighbors
assistance was prabably an attempt toqbluff the UN into not
crossing khet38th-Paralle1, rather than a forewarning of
Chinese;intervention. Finally, Chous remarks on the UN
suggested Peipings interest in pyticipating in any uN settle-
ment of the Korean question,
