troops turned and fought furiously in Korea Tuesday,

lied advance reaching the Hwachon Reservoir before they can unleash the full fury of its impounded waters. The Reds poured the heaviest artillery bombardment of recent weeks into American and South Korean ranks and turned wellhidden self-propelled guns on Allied tanks.

These reports said the Reds abandoned the stronghold of Hwachon, on the banks of the Pukhan River four miles east of the sluice gates, apparently in anticipation of the flood.
