Reds Fail to Blunt UN Drive

hE . By PETER KALISCHER - United Press Staff Correspondent EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUAR- | TERS; Korea, Sept. 1—More than {1000 screaming Communists slammed into. attacking United, Nations forces in eastern Korea today but failed to .blunt the Allied drive along a 30-mile front. A fresh North Korean division was thrown into the Communist line to fill gaps blasted by United Nations air strikes, artillery and

infantrymen. Along Bloody Ridge .

north of Yanggu, the advancing United: Nations troops counted 172 dead, including 12 officers,

who were victims of 27 air strikes,

paving the way soldiers. Far to the northwest, 15 American Sabrejets ripped into 40 Rus-sion-built . MIG-15 jet fighters and probably destroyed one in a © 20-minute dogfight. All Sabréjets returned safely. Twelve Superforts dumped 120 half-ton bombs on.the important railroad bridge across the Taedong River at Sunchon in the north to slow the flow of Red reinforcements and the front. But Allied officers said a fresh ™emmunist -division had been thrown into the eastern battle zone, apparently being pulled out

of the Kaesong area to- replace the heavy Communist losses. Allied infantrymen charged irito Cemmunist bunkers and
