UN TROOPS CITED
ROME, April 7.— (AP) —Erle
Cocke, jr., American Legion Nat
ional Commander, tonight cited
the battle record of Greek and
Turkish troops in Korea as proof
the Truman doctrine of aid to
those countries had “paid off.”
“Talk that American troops are
carrying the whole load in the
Korean war is a serious miscon
ception,” said Cocke, a 29-year-old
war veteran fronr Dawson, Ga.

Turn Suddenly
To Fight Allies
By ROBERT EUNSON
TOKYO, Sunday, April B—(AP)
The Chinese Reds suddenly turned
and fought advancing Americans
north of the 38th parallel on the
Korean central front today after
two days of retreat.
AP Correspondent William C.'
Barnard reported from that front
that the Reds used artillery, mor
tars and machine guns to hurl
back an attacking American pla
toon from a ridge overlooking the
Pukhan river north ¢f Chunchon.
The correspondent said 17 units
of one American division were en~
gngd in that area, Lk
‘was the first major opposition
the Allies had met since Wednes
day when they drove across the
38th parallel, old political boun
dary of North and South Korea.
For the past two days the Chi
nese had unexpectedly broken off
almost all contact and retreated
steadily in a broad area four to
eight miles inside North Korea.
No Contact In West
This was still the case in the
west, latest dispatches reporting
that only Allied patrols were able
to keep up with the retiring ene
my.
Whether the sudden stiffening in
the center marked a general end
ing of the Red fallback was not
apparent.
However, it was believed the U.
S. Eighth Army forces had still
scme distance to go before strik
ing the main Chinese line. This
line was believed to be along the
railroad between Chorwon and
Kumhwa, 20 miles inside North
Korea. &
There have been many predic~
tions that north of that line the
Chinese were massing fresh forces
for a spring offensive that would
be their heaviest effort yet in Ko~
rea. The aggressive Eighth Army
drive is aimed at throwing this an
ticipated Red offensive out of gear
beforehand.
Air Action
Coupled with this aim, Ameri
can B-29s Saturday heavily bomb
ed the Yalu rlver bridges from
Manchuria intc Korea and 250
British Marines made a commando
raid near Songjin, Red coast port
120 miles south of Manchuria,
The British, covered by Ameri
can carrier planes and Naval guns,
demolished a section of the main~
line coastal railway eight miles
south of Songjin.
The B-29 bombers were pro
tected by 30 F-86 Sabre jet fight=
ers while 50 F-84 Thunderjets
fought a swirling series of dog
fights with 40 Russian-made MIG
jet planes that attempted to inter
