Communist forces failed to ats tack during the withdrawal, They were held at bay by a blazing land-sea artillery barrage shredding the front with nearly 1000 rounds an hour. U. S. 3d Division troops guarding the beachhead perimeter were braced for further attacks by Communist troops hurling gas grenades. : A delayed dispatch from the beachhead disclosed that Chinese Reds used the gas grenades for the first time Sunday. . An official spokesman in Tokyo confirmed use of the grenades and said they were filled with a combination of smoke and tear gas. The attack was repulsed by the 3d Division's Puerto Rican Regiment. (In Washington, a Defense Department spokesman said all ‘American troops are issued gas masks, but he did not know whether the beachhead forces actually were carrying them.)
