“Drive Within One Mile
“OF Main Runway; = Flee From Chinju.
By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. 2 — Tank-supported U. 8. and South Korean defenders today staved off Communist
{troops driving toward the
best Allied airport in Korea. The Reds have captured the port of Pohang, and now are trying to seize the nearby air field. The Communists are within one mile of the main runway of the airport, which is six miles south of Pohang. They plasted it with artillery set up only a mile and a half away. But United States troops rushed to the Pohang sector and a crack outfit of South Koreans absorbed the first impact of the Communist onrush and early to-. day they were clinging grimly to the field. A brisk battle touched off by Allfed counter-punches died down somewhat toward midnight.
Ambush U. 8. Column Communist guerrillas ambushed a United States relief column speeding toward Pohang, including a score of tanks, but of the force broke through and went directly into the airport battle last night. The Allied |forces braced, and the enemy
